    Question Ghost phantom mouse driving me crazy - how do i disable touch pad?

    Dell precision 7720. The mouse curser will randomly move when pressure / activity is made around the touchpad even if not touching it. This has caused my mouse to randomly dart to the corner of the screen by using the keyboard or having my palm near the touchpad. The temporary solution is to...

    Question Recommended LTE routers that can also spoof?

    Any recommended LTE routers that will work with a Visible sim card (Verizon network) with the ability to spoof itself to look like a phone (change IMEI / TTL, etc.) so my connected devices (my laptop) are not restricted to 5mbs? Originally was going to use booster but learning these can be...

    Question Will an LTE cell booster work without a sim card?

    I have a pixel 4a (4g). TBH id be happy with ~10mbs down. Ill be in a tiny house so the range of the booster is not important. What ive learned so far is MIMO only works with LTE routers that take a sim card and broadcasts wifi. If I am doing a signal booster to increase the reception to my...

    Question Will an LTE cell booster work without a sim card?

    Im glad I got a second opinion. Some others were saying these routers can work like a signal booster and dont require a sim card causing confusion. I may go with something like you linked because I cannot find a solution. Basically 2x2 MIMO can increase speeds by like 40% and a 4x4 MIMO like...

    Question Will an LTE cell booster work without a sim card?

    My goal is the improve reception to my phone. The phone then acts as a hotspot for my laptop. Im using Visible (Verizon network). Most boosters are a single antenna with a box that accepts one antenna cable input and boosts the signal. However I want to use a 2x2 or 4x4 MIMO (this is 2 or 4...

    Thanks for giving your input bill, this little project is sitting on my desk until I get it done or I find an alternative. I'll post this summary below for others that may be reading: I have a persistent route to the VPN (160.50.59.40 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1), I connect to the VPN then...

    [SOLVED] Can ping, but cant connect to openvpn server

    When I conntact to the VPN it adds a new 0.0.0.0 route through the tunnel that it created with a higher metric. My IP changes to the VPN however. But this defeats the purpose, even if the VPNs metric is lower, if the VPN connection drops, my real IP will leak (which I cannot allow to happen)...

    [SOLVED] Can ping, but cant connect to openvpn server

    The servers ports are open. On the clients side (windows WM) I can also SSH in to the openvpn server using putty. The only solution so far is to add back the 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 route, and OpenVPN connections no problem, but that defeats the purpose as I want to force all traffic to only go...

    [SOLVED] Can ping, but cant connect to openvpn server

    Goal: force all traffic through VPN only. Client: Windows in VMware VPN: OpenVPN I delete the 0.0.0.0 route in Windows. I make a persistent route to the OpenVPN server with my LAN the gateway (192.168.1.1). So in theory, when I turn on OpenVPN client on windows, it would connect to OpenVPN...

    [SOLVED] VPN killswitch (prevent IP leakage)

    Goal: Force all traffic on my Win 7 VM to only go through my VPN. My VM runs on a local PC (only VM will use VPN). I've custom desktop software in the VM communicating with an API so a killswitch like VPNCheck Pro wont work as it only closes your web browser if the VPN goes down. Its mandatory...
