I ended up going with a proxy service provider instead of a vpn provider. thanks!

Alas, it will not work with PIA. I will need to find another VPN vendor with a client that supports this approach.

Ohhh!!! That's brilliant! That would be much easier than dealing with routing tables and rules. Let me research if a) its possible to bind PIA to a single NIC or b) what VPN service provider can do this..... Thank you!

I have a WINDOWS application running in a VM listening for incoming connections on port 1234 that I want the outside world to be able to connect to without coming in over the VPN. The VM currently has PIA installed as a VPN client, but it doesn't allow split tunneling so if I start it up, the...

...and despite the power supply tester saying the PS was good, I trusted my instincts, bought only a new PS, and that fixed everything. No new PC for me today. What's the point in a power supply tester that can't tell you if the PS is actually working correctly??

I'm rethinking the Gigabyte... reading some not so flattering reviews...... maybe the maximus X hero........

FWIW, I bought a power supply tester and the PS is fine. So seems its the motherboard. I'm going to use the same case (Antec Sonata 2), PS (Corsair TX650), and for now video card (R9 280) since I rarely game... I can upgrade later). I debated on just replacing the MB with the same one but...

Thanks all, I've had no complaints about the performance of this pc, especially for something this old. It pays to buy good stuff. If I find the issue is the corsair tx650 I'll just replace it, but if it's the mobo and I have to tear everything out to replace that, that got me started thinking...

About 7 years back I built a Windows 2008 R2 based machine that I also use for occasional gaming. It has a P8Z68-V Pro mainboard, 32GB of ram, i7 (can't recall which), and a GTX580. Last week the power company came by and cut power to replace a pole and now my PC won't power on. I'm in the...

I have a 32GB Patriot XT USB stick. I understand how to make it bootable, but what I really want to do is to have several ISO images on it such as Windows 7, Vista, XP, Server 2008 R2, etc and be able to boot off the drive then select an ISO image and boot into that. I frequently have to...

My dad has an Inspiron 530 (without quadcore) and just purchased an 8800GS. He has no 6 pin P8 connector, nor does he have a 4 pin molex connector anywhere off the power supply. I'm trying to figure out what kind of adapter I can purchase so he can power the card. Maybe something like this...
