    Set it and forget it--- Multi wan load balancing/failover wired router

    New they can certainly get pricey. That said, they can be picked up used for next to nothing on ebay, craigslist or fb marketplace. For the bandwidth you listed a 30 or 40e or better would do the trick. The basic fw function needs no lic and as stated above will do multiwan load balancing with...

    Set it and forget it--- Multi wan load balancing/failover wired router

    Any Fortigate will do multiwan out of the box balanced in whatever manner you choose. The bandwidth you listed above could handled by any of them. I'm using a 101F here load balancing two 1Gb fiber connections equally with an LTE backup.

    CCTV DVR and it's software program stops communicating

    You said the devices in question was connected via ethernet. I was asking about the speed/duplex setting of the NICs. In modern systems these should both be set to auto. Most vendors will allow hardcoding these values in their drivers because there is a contingent of old school folks that recall...

    No VPN at coffee house

    As I said earlier in this the easiest way to block most would be: 1. Turn on web filtering 2. Blocking proxy avoidance classified sites to block all known vpn endpoints 3.

    No VPN at coffee house

    Don't be so sure. PA sells a whole lot of Prisma Access. Fortinet does the same with their FortiSASE. Both of those are targeted heavily on small business and retail branch locations. They are both, highly effective and with very little or no upfront hardware cost.

    No VPN at coffee house

    A TLS/SSL vpn generally does work on 443 and would be preferred choice for such a thing. TCP 80 not so much a concern as plaintext http is generally dead and flat blocking 80 would have little impact to end users. As previosuly stated most of this depends on the firewall admin's determination...

    No VPN at coffee house

    To be clear there is no VPN that cannot be blocked. It is just a matter of how dedicated the owner of the firewall is to doing so. IPSec based VPNs are the easiest to block and as such frequently are. Many hotels offer two levels of Internet service where the free or cheaper version blocks...

    What's your opinion on Titanium frame in the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max

    Caring what others think is a personal issue that should be worked on. The ultra watch as it is today is, in my opinion, just ugly and overly large unless the wearer is considerably larger than I am. I am hoping the next version does something about that as I would love to upgrade my black...
