Ubiquiti and/or PFSense access
by Andrew Hodgson 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

Hi all, I have a new flat and with it comes a 1GBPs Ethernet connection as part of the building service. The router they have given me is causing me a lot of issues so I want to upgrade it. I have been looking at different models and I have discount a lot due to the 1GBPs connection. I have a Sophos router from a previous job, but it doesn't support IPV6. At this point I am looking at potentially going with a Synology router, the Unifi kit or a PFSense build. has anyone used any of this and can comment on the usability with JFW? i know the Synology will be pritty much the same as the NAS, though they don't have a demo site for the router. I am going to check out the Ubiquiti demo site next but I know people on this list were using it. Thanks. Andrew.

VMware Horizon Client
by Jared Stofflett 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

I'm a software developer and am interviewing at a company that uses VMware Horizon Client to provide virtual desktops where development is done. Looking at the VPAT did not fill me with confidence that this is something I could use. Does anyone have experience using the client to connect to Windows machines using either NVDA or Jaws as a screen reader?

Hi Ibraam, I don't understand why you want to have the live media on the hd. whats the sense of that? that you could use the cd drive? You also might be interested in using a USB Stick that contains the live media plus a persistent partition to save programs and documents.

Re: Unable to access a Asus router web ui

If the router supports OpenWRT, you could install that firmware and then configure everything via a Web interface or with an ssh connection on the command line.

Hi Ibraam, I don't know. though you might try it. But first backup the PC before you touch anything or try it on a spare pc if you have one around. Also the command that Jason provided might be useful under linux to change the boot order.

Office 365 2 factor authentication
by Troy Hergert 14 Jan '20

14 Jan '20

Hello, I'm having difficulty in the office 365 admin center. I have been unable to turn on multi factor authentication for users with my screen reader. I know where the settings are located and I can bring up the users page but there seems to be no way a screen reader can find the controls to a enable or enforce 2 factor authentication. I use jaws with Internet explorer. In the admin center, I go to active users, more settings, multi-factor authentication setup, click the check box for a user. But then there is no way to locate the enable or enforce controls. Has anyone been able to manage this feature in office 365 with a screen reader? Thanks. ### Troy
