    openvpn question

    If anyone has a good link on how to set this up, that would be great. I found the setting for forcing all traffic through tunnel, but once connected, no internet access. Seems to not be sending dns and a gateway.

    Grase Hotspot on VM inside network

    Solved my problem by throwing money at it. Ordered a 3 pack of Unifi frisbee's and 1 Unifi outdoor ap. Read nothing but good stuff about them on here and really like the central controller idea.

    HighPoint 2720SGL (x2) or HighPoint 2740?

    My opinion would be to go the expander route. I am running the LSI version of the M1015 and the HP expander on a Debian linux system. Raid 6 with software raid, MDADM. ZERO problems thus far. Smart data passes through to OS no problem. Only thing I did was add a 40mm fan to the expander as it...

    Does ESXi do software raid as danswartz is implying because that would make my day.

    HighPoint 2720SGL (x2) or HighPoint 2740?

    I think You will still need an expander as the M1015 only has 2 SFF-8087 connectors which will allow You to only connect up to 8 drives directly to the card. I could be wrong though.

    Ok, thanks for the suggestions! Looks like I'm going to load up ESXi, which I guess has been renamed to VMware vSphere Hypervisor, because that's all I can find that's current.

    Just setup my first server

    For Virtualization that is. As of now, I tried Proxmox and OpenVZ with an open source front end. Proxmox looks more my style as it allows for VM's also. I have VMware 5 downloaded, but haven't tried it yet. How limited is the free version of VMware? Can anyone else recommend anything else...

    PfSense multiple IP's on WAN

    Well after much thought, I went a different route. After reading about how Kloxo is not designed to be behind NAT, I came up with a different approach. http://forum.lxcenter.org/index.php?t=msg&th=18669&goto=98287&#msg_98287...

    PfSense multiple IP's on WAN

    My dad's router is pfSense too. :p I get that part. But with Kloxo, I can map different ip's to different domains. Another example. With Kloxo, I can make a friend a hosting acount with a dedicated ip of 1.2.3.4. While my sites are on 1.2.3.5 and my normal home internet wan on 1.2.3.1 just...

    PfSense multiple IP's on WAN

    Ok, I understand the ssl part now. Back to the ip's. Im sorry if I'm dwelling on this, but i still dont fully understand it yet. If I have 4 external ip's 1:1 NAT'ed to my server, how would I specify which external IP goes to which site? Example. 1.2.3.1 goes to normal household...

    PfSense multiple IP's on WAN

    Sounds easy enough, but how would the server know its external ip's? Say I have a friend who wants hosting. He wants to sell fluffy ball bags. Doesnt his domain need its own IP for ssl?

    PfSense multiple IP's on WAN

    Ok, They came last night and got me all hooked up. They provided me with a Cisco DPQ3925, which has 4 ports on the back. I wasn't able to get into any settings on it. Just plug a cable in any port, specify Your IP address, subnet and name servers and I'm good to go. No problems configuring...

    PfSense multiple IP's on WAN

    Happy New Years! I just ordered static ip service from my ISP. They are coming out in 2 days to install modem and router. I told them to hold off on the router as I have PFSense running on a 1u server. My goal would be to use 1 ip for general internet use around the house. The other 4 I...

    moving router

    May be worth a call, but my cable company will come out, free of charge, and check any new wiring for signal levels. I just finished re-wiring my house and they came out twice and checked everything. I didn't have to beg or nothing. They were happy to do so. Never know, a call cant hurt.

    Guys i need some help adding a secondary wireless Router seteup help

    If You decide to get another router instead of an access point, just disable dhcp on the new router. Plug a cable in Your old router on the lan side and run it to one of the lan side ports of the new router. Did this on a few older linksys routers and worked fine. Edit: Oh, and also assign it...
