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.

Samsung's Mac Address Vendor prefix?
by David Mehler 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hello, Does anyone know if Samsung has got a new Mac address vendor prefix? I just checked my router and noticed something my s7 and a new s9 has a completely different vendor prefix. In the case of my s7 it is: 4C:66:41 while the s9 is: 10:98:C3 Just curious. Thanks. Dave.

As did his other software projects like chicken nugget and the qube. No announcement or whatever. Just stopping. Oh well. Maybe the main NVDA development team might work on a implementation in newer nvda main releases. at least according to one ticket i have read though i have no url at the moment.

Hi all, For those who where using the remote relay server on nvdaremote.com. The website seems to be offline for a few days now. I guess that also might stay that way. No updates since september 2018.

Re: NVDA remote
by Anatoliy Shudrya 06 Dec '19

Hi, I don’t want to resurrect old topic, just wanted to share my findings. I was able to configure NVDA remote on a server without sound card and get it to work. On a controlling machine. I have configured NVDA remote as a server, control another machine, generated key, saved key, okay. On a remote machine, installed NVDA remote, configured the machine as client, allow this machine to be controlled. Pasted key entered host name, okay. Went to NVDA remote options and checked enable auto startup/auto-connect. In the NVDA options, I have enabled NVDA to start on the logon screen and after logon. F11 does not work no matter what. Windows firewalls off, it says controlling remote server but nothing happens. I am on the same local network, not even via VPN or anything like that. The NVDA 2019 is working now over RDP. When everything is configured to start automatically, all I have to do, is just connect via RDP and I have working NVDA. In my case I didn’t have to start audio service and no sound card on server 2008. Basically establish NVDA remote connection first and then RDP in. It’s not that bad if you don’t have access to the JAWS screen reader. I am happy to see it working via remote desktop protocol. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Eigeldinger <simon.eigeldinger(a)vol.at> Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2019 11:17 AM To: Anatoliy Shudrya <anatoliyshudrya(a)hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: NVDA remote Hi, Now i see which problem you seem to have. When you have some connection you go to the nvda menu and go to tools and then to nvda remote. then you go to options. then you can enable to start the remote plugin at start up of nvda and connect to a server. then enter the host and a defined key. that should fix it.

Passive Wireless monitoring with a Raspberry Pi
by David Mehler 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hello, I'm wanting to set up a wireless passive network monitor and i'd prefer to use a Raspberry Pi to do it. Here's my situation, I've got a wireless network and I'm needing to monitor it and to be alerted if certain devices log on to it. I'd prefer those alerts to come via either texts, emails, or both. I have a list of Mac addresses for safe devices that should be considered safe and no action should be taken should they be detected, but anything else should trigger an alert. Currently I have to check my cable-provider's router (I do not like it), to get this information, an RPI, one that is hooked up to the network would make this much easier. This is exclusively for my network, I'm not interested in addresses associated with other nearby networks, and i'd prefer to monitor both the 2.4 and 5GHz ranges. Does anyone have a Pi doing this? Thanks. Dave.
