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.

Hi All, Could anyone share their experiences using GNS3 for experimentation. I am having to build out a large network for a client that has over 100 routers. I haven't messed with any of the simulators since my sight deteriorated a few years ago. Thanks, Billy

Microsoft Teams losing focus
by Andrew Hodgson 05 May '20

05 May '20

Hi, Is anyone else finding they are losing focus in Microsoft Teams using JFW? I am getting it more often now where pressing tab in the Teams chat window gets no response, eventually I do land in a text box but as soon as I tab out of that it goes back to silence. I had this yesterday in the middle of an incident and had to do weird combinations using the mouse and copying and pasting chat messages to the clipboard which was no fun. Any suggestions? Thanks. Andrew.
