    NAT problems with Workstation

    It seems like when this happens the guests stay connected to already running internet connections. But no new connections can be started. In other words, applications that are already running keep being able to use the internet. But when I start a new application it can't connect. In the...

    NAT problems with Workstation

    I use NAT for my VMWare workstation machines. Usually it works, but sometimes I get problems... After I have disconnected and reconnected to the internet from the Host a few times the NAT stops working! I have internet on my host. But the guests don't have internet anymore. If it's relevant I'm...

    Hardware firewall doesn't protect when using VPN tunnels?

    Sure. Here is a link: https://www.relakks.com/faq/qna/ It's in Swedish though. It's the answer to the first question about security/säkerhet. --- Q: Do I need a special firewall if I use Relakks safe surf? S: If you have a router and you have been relying on the firewall in it then we recommend...

    Hardware firewall doesn't protect when using VPN tunnels?

    I read on my PPTP VPN provider's website today that when I am using the VPN service my hardware firewall is basically switched off. Is that really true? Do you advise me to get a software firewall?

    Force Windows to only use the PPTP VPN tunnel!?

    Is there any way to force Windows to only use the PPTP VPN tunnel that a networking layman can understand how to do? I've been looking for a way for a very long time now and the solutions have been scarce. I know that routing tables don't work since Windows changes them on it's own when the VPN...

    Decrease the risk of fraud and hacking by VPN providers

    I would like to be able to use VPN tunnels for anonymous surfing from several VPN providing companies. The reason I want to use several VPN providers is that would be nice to have IP numbers from different domains. But this opens up a potential problem. I don't know much about the reliability of...

    How does a load balancing router work with VPN tunnels?

    You're right, fail-over is what I want! Cool that the VPN doesn't break just because I (presumably) change IP all the sudden. That makes me happy :) I hadn't even considered Cisco (since they don't get reviewed on Newegg). I'll check Cisco's routers out. Thanks for the recommendation on Norton...

    Reliable VPN providers

    I'm using VPN tunnels to communicate with the rest of the Internet. I have read some stuff recently that has made me suspicious that not all VPN providers are honest people that leave your privacy and credit cards alone. I'd like to decrease the risk that I get hacked or become subject of fraud...

    How does a load balancing router work with VPN tunnels?

    The Internet connection I use breaks a few times a day. I'm not a big fan of that. It seems most Internet connections break at times. None that I've tried have been perfect. I've had five ISP's during the years and all have had connection breaks, at least once a week. Now I'm thinking that the...

    Good VPN providers?

    I'm sorry not for specifying myself better! Sorry for taking your time! What I'm looking for is to get an additional IP number and to get that additional IP number through a VPN provider. Basically surfing anonymously. Do you know of any reliable VPN providers for this cause?

    Good VPN providers?

    I will use this for secure internet usage. I don't need to to allow computers to communicate in a network. I just wanted to specify so you know more what I'm looking for. - under $75 - secure - reliable that's all. Is there any VPN provider that meets this?

    Good VPN providers?

    Do you know of any VPN provider that you can recommend? I'm looking for a VPN provider that costs less than $75/month, the less the better and that let's me use OpenVPN or PPTP as client. Other than that the important thing is that they have a pretty reliable servers and that they are reputable...
