    Stories wanted about working routers in virtual machines

    I'm getting ready to create a pfSense router in a bare metal Hyper-V server. Any reports from anyone who has a working router in a VM would be appreciated. Good or bad. I had wanted to use esxi, but the J1900 bay trail processor in my pc is not compatible with it. Hyper-V is said to work both...

    What Do You Use Your Production Home VM For?

    What do you use your Virtual Machine (VM) for? Please exclude all VMs that exist on one PC and are used for educational or experimental purposes. I mean real, working VMs in a home network setting. It can be experimental, but should be accessible by all / many network clients, not just the...

    Hackers from US university just tried to get in

    I just had a little fun. We'll see what happens next, if anything. DD-WRT OpenVPN server provides a verbose log. Included are details of who has tried to hack my router. This list is always busy whenever I look at it. Today some hackers with addresses that tracked back to a US university...

I have several reasons for this: The gui is nice but substantially incomplete given the capabilities of the router Vyatta is not documented well at...

    OpenVPN / DD-WRT interesting discovery

    I originally posted this as a reply to some else's thread. In retrospect, I decided it was different enough to have a thread of its own. ----- I just wrote a three part series about setting up OpenVPN on a DD-WRT server and discovered something odd about OpenVPN / DD-WRT along the way. I'm...

    Best Device For OpenVPN Server

    If you have the ability to put OpenVPN server on several devices, which is best? This question lives somewhere between "angels dancing on a pin head" and "Why would anybody care," but I'm curious. I have loaded an OpenVPN server on my QNAP box. I've finally got around to getting it on my...

    Ideas for EdgeRouter Lite

    I've been thinking about getting a Ubiquti EdgeRouter Lite sometime this year. They have a reputation for having a professional class operating system, and this model costs about $100 and uses only 7 watts at max output. To me this would be for hobby and lab purposes and may end up as a...
