• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Best public DNS system

    Really? TWC's were benchmarked as fastest and consistently reliable (just like their Internet) now I have Att UVerse and already had their DNS have issues with certain sites going really slow a couple weeks ago. (There's a dslreports post about it in the forums)

    Older Juniper Replacement

    Why would you recommend a product line that is EOL? SRX is the new one.

    New Ubiquiti Routers

    I haven't tried QoS and I'm still working on getting OpenVPN working. The configuration syntax (no GUI for it yet) isn't hard, but I've been working on setting up a tunnel to a Tomato router and having trouble. I might just set up a remote access one for my phone just to make sure that part works.

    New Ubiquiti Routers

    Probably not, but it's Vyatta 6.3 under the hood with a new webUI. So, Vyatta's QoS is what you can research.

    New Ubiquiti Routers

    I bought one 2 weeks ago from microcom.us and despite saying march delivery they shipped it the next day. I'm loving mine :) No idea if that's still the case, though.

    Cisco selling Linksys

    So what happens to their rebadged linksys SSG series switches?

    Understand Untangle/pfSense?

    It's possible the IPSec will be compatible with the iOS built-in client with some fooling around (it does with pfSense or real Cisco stuff), but basically if you only use OpenVPN that won't be an option. If that is a requirement and Untangle's IPSec doesn't work for iOS then you're stuck with...

    Internal Domain Naming Convention

    Sure, YOU may not. But that doesn't mean your boss(es) or the executives may not. Or some new product by someone else. Or someone after you leave. Willfully using a reserved name because YOU don't think you need it when they're plenty of alternatives just isn't being a good administrator...

    Internal Domain Naming Convention

    It's a reserved name, which means in the future problems can occur. HP and others use Bonjour for various things.

    Internal Domain Naming Convention

    You don't deal with Media Access Control in your network job? It's "Mac". It's not an acronym. If you learn that maybe in the future you'll stop looking like an idiot. It must really hurt to see Macs increasing in business every year, and that's not even counting iPads :D

    Internal Domain Naming Convention

    It's cute you think only Apple uses Bonjour :D The IETF registered .local and willfully using a reserved name (and one that is shown to break things on both platforms) is quit idiotic.

    Internal Domain Naming Convention

    Microsoft does not recommend .local anymore and people shouldn't be using it. It conflicts with things such as Bonjour and Macs. MS now recommends either a domain or subdomain you own (important!) that will NOT be publicly accessible. They also say to not make up TLDs for it either...

    Network pics thread

    I got to set up (and play!) with both of these pretty soon. Our core network is already a stack of the EX switches, but will be my first time as a sysadmin setting them up. J-Web and JUNOS = amazing. SRX looks to be a nice improvement from a feature standpoint from the ASA we currently have...

    Patch Management

    You can use WSUS for all Windows updates, Office updates, Skype (now), and other MS software. You also can use the WSUS agent and tech to distribute third party stuff that you create or setup. Shavlik uses that infrastructure. There's also a free one called Local Update Publisher (LUP) that you...

    How do you guys like Unifi AP?

    I bought one from Amazon and got it quickly (technically it's some vendor). I bought it to replace a router I had since I use pfsense now. Not the fastest N ever, but this one actually hits decent N speeds and I run two ssids b/c of sharing with a neighbor so the vlan capability and multiple...
