    Question VPN software router for windows

    No, I use the plain windows client, no other configuration. But still, linux or macos don't connect (and obviously, don't give any info as why they don't connect). So I was hoping, since it's the plain windows client, that there would be a solution.

    Question VPN software router for windows

    My company has a very stubborn IT department. They don't want to make any changes to an old vpn we have and they ONLY support windows. I've tried a lot but apparently the protocols used are deprecated on both macos and linux, so really only windows machines can connect. So... I wanted to use a...

    [SOLVED] Question about roaming between different AP's ?

    To answer both of the replies: I can get cell coverage during the day just fine. But at night, with the aluminium blinds, the cell signal goes to 0. And no, I'm not replacing those, way too much work. Also, one AP is enough to cover the whole house, as long as I don't close the doors. So, my...

    [SOLVED] Question about roaming between different AP's ?

    Is there any way to improve roaming between 2 AP's? I need 2 to cover my house (there is some overlap), and I can't have a stable wifi call while walking from one to another. I have a samsung S9+ and the AP's are a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 and a Xiaomi AIoT AC2350, with a rasbpberry pi 4 acting as a...

    Question Is it possible to extend the monitor to another computer?

    My computer only has a single hdmi output and I wanted to use a laptop as a secondary monitor. I'm not looking to game on the other display or anything, just web browsing, and stuff like that. Maybe the occasional movie. Nothing 4k also, only 1080p. However, it must appear as a secondary monitor...

    [SOLVED] Retro DosBox project

    I have a few old netbook pc's that are just there, since they are too slow for anything nowadays, so I thought about turning them into dosbox machines, load them with hundred of old games and use them as gifts for children or elderly. So, I need a lightweight linux distro, that only needs to...

    [SOLVED] Should I store my external hard drive in a vacuum-sealed bag?

    I have a backup system with an always-on hard drive and another in storage, which I periodically sync. This means the second hard drive is usually stopped for months and I would like to store it in a more protective way. I though about my garage, which is underground so has stable temperature...

    [SOLVED] Advice for new wired router

    I agree with evertything you said, the main reason I wanted a x86 router was because of security. I can't block 100% of the traffic, I need to open ports for services I have exposed. From what I read, freebsd and openbsd are better updated than openwrt and that leaves less vulnerabilities to...

    [SOLVED] Advice for new wired router

    Hi I wanted to upgrade my home network and make it as future-proof as possible. My main concerns are security and network speed. Apparently, the best is to separate the wired and wireless parts, I'll have several (big house...) AP's just distributing signal and upgrade them as the technology...

    double NAT + IPv6 not working

    Yes it does, the config page for the ISP router shows an IPv6 section turned on, and my router gets an IPv6 address from it.

    double NAT + IPv6 not working

    Hi I have a router from my ISP at home, but I don't trust them with access to my network, so after it I have my own router, protecting my internal network. I don't have an option to use my own router as the first one, and the ISP router does not have bridge mode, so I'm stuck with double NAT...
