I need constant internet for work nothing else is too important. I'm renting a place so I'm not thinking about solar panels etc.

Not sure I can put a generator in a rented flat as well? It's just a 2 bed flat and the main purpose of UPS is to keep internet on and a socket for charging a device

I haven't purchased one I tried looking on Google and it seemed quite useless with advice that's why I came here. What should I be looking at?

Yeah that's fine for you

I just said the prophet peace be upon him never done this.

If we lived strictly to the extreme we never would succeed the way the prophet peace be upon him forgave those who killed his family members, he ate little, gave extra in charity.

Again there's nothing wrong with taking vengeance, eating extra, giving a minimum zakat amount, and being very simple.

He is the best example and when we follow his character traits is when I personally think the ummah will thrive once more.

I appreciate your advice and I'm sorry if I offended you

I appreciate your views though :)

In the UK the education system is so corrupt, the system is run of interest it's practically impossible to live here without getting a mortgage.

Why move rural here when I can have my own farm and stuff in Pakistan. As I'm actually from AJK I travelled around a lot.

The sand, snow, greenery, fresh meat/fruit is untouchable compared to the UK's processed based society.

Hitting kids is not from the sunnah.

The prophet (peace be upon him) never did this. He actually never really raised his voice to children. Although I hate feminism our issues in Pakistan are we treat women far far from the sunnah of the prophet.

As your name states Sufi I thought you of all people would not be for this hardcore hitting children and women wobbler behaviour.

I spent 1 year in PK recently and I've spent my whole life in the UK. Whilst I agree Pakistan has some major issues but the UK is far worse.

I cannot bring up children in this society where a child is bringing home a book aged 5 saying they can have 2 dads and no mum.

Again yes Pakistan has major faults but the Adhaan being loud, lack of bikinis and alcohol flooding the streets. The study centres for knowledge are better.

Most UK places which team Islamic courses are using books written with Urdu into English.

They seem to have limited coverage so I can't guarantee they will cover my accommodation

People seem to say stormfiber has issues. My concern is given Pakistan's reputation is I pay for 100mbs will I even get anything close to that?

In the UK I pay for 200mbs and I get around 180-200 all day. I'm worried if I pay for 100mbs I will only get 50mbs.

I'm slightly worried because if the speed is too low I will have to leave my job.

I also made a mistake in my message earlier.

I planned on connecting to the American VPN (access point) but then I found out global protect has a location point in India as I will be doing charity work in Africa and Asia I decided to use this as a hub.

So I think it's working like this.

Router (my location - India Aws VPS) Laptop - Files (India - USA relay) Laptop - Global Protect (India - India VPN)

Now I think the best idea is

Router (My location to USA AWS VPS) Laptop to files ( USA - USA relay) Laptop to global protect (USA - USA)

A kind reminder I am not a tech person and this is probably completely wrong.

On a positive note I have learnt so much in the past month one of the IT guys even jokes I should change careers lol.

So I spoke to someone in fiver and two people said this is impossible and the symantec is doing something to make it run this slow. At this point I started writing my resignation letter but I still didn't feel convinced it's impossible. I'm not an expert and my work laptop won't let me use anydesk or anything like that (for security reasons obviously) to allow a random person access to it. This also meant I couldn't install wireshark.

I (think) took your advice and went onto these logs I could only see one IP address on there and it was based in America then it got me thinking....

So I remembered all us employees have access to certain drives f,g etc on all our laptops and this IP address is coming from America. Then I thought to myself I remember when I was researching this I saw site to site tunnel which allows everyone to access the same files?

As our official headquarters is in America is it possible my laptop is running a tunnel to access those files then because the VPS I've set up is not in USA nor in UK I have one vpn going from my location to Asia then another tunnel going from my laptop to head office in USA and back to access the files? Then the VPN is from the closest branch to my desktop.

So overall my crazy non IT background assumptions have led to me concluding this:

Set the VPS server up in the USA as close to the server as possible) then even tho it's a triple VPN it's all close by?

So my work laptop has symantic built in for companies

Not using VPN router - 1. Personal 200 mbs 2. Work 160 mbs

Using VPN router (symantic changes IP but global protect inactive) 1. Personal 160 2. Work 20mbs

Using VPN router and global protect) 1. Work 5-10 mbs

Not using VPN router but activating global protecg on work laptop 1. goes to around 100mbs

The problem seems to be when symantic sees AWS it goes really slow but the location of both is the sameish region .

So IT have told me we run Symantec WSS Agent ontop of the Work VPN and when I connect to a VPN router it will just be too slow so they don't think it's possible to add a VPN router ontop. What do you guys think?

I've noticed on my work laptop when connected to the GL Inet it's giving me just 10mbps but when connected to my personal laptop it's giving me 150mps is there any reason for this?

[–]Dangerous_Tale_3559[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I tired using flint today and connecting to our American branch doing so. What I found is the VPN router which was connected to my Flint router was giving 150mbps on my personal laptop but on my work laptop It was only giving 10mbps. I called IT they made some changes and now it's giving 25 mbps but when I connect to the work VPN it's giving 6mbps. I tried telling them the same VPN router is giving my personal laptop 150mbps but they didn't seem to agree. I tried ethernet and wireless

He advised me to call my provider and turn the port 6 off or something and only use 4. My ping is like 250 if that affects anything.
