    DDNS script example to update CloudFlare not working

    OK - answered number 2 myself by modifying my domain DNS. Instead of all those A records, I changed them to cname's pointing to the one A records that has the IP address. Then only one to update. I guess this is the 'correct' way I should have done it in the first place - seeing as they all...

I currently have the router dns set to 9.9.9.9 I currently have the DHCP DNS set to...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    OK - I am making some headway into this now. I installed openvpn on my laptop, imported the file from PIA, and got the same issues on my laptop. I then connected to my 4g wifi hotspot on my iphone, so outside my LAN, and immediately it worked. This tells me my router is the issue here. It is...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I have been using skynet a while. Today, I though I would add a VPN to my PIA at the router level, read a load of forums, and it seems so easy. This is so my roku's can go direct to eh UK and save me the cost of the dns geo unblock service. Mainly I keep coming back to this one thread which...

    How do I 'easily' swap out the USB drive ?

    I did searches for backup USB etc ? Nothing found. I wish to replace the USB key with a new one, rather than re-install all my bits and pieces and re-configure download monitoring etc, is there an easy USB duplication process ?
