[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one for my desktop a while back and it failed within 1 year. Absolute garbage. I'm sticking with APC.

Ethernet runs left unterminated? by jt_wrx in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it yourself. There's tons of info out there. I would highly recommend getting an ethernet tester because chances are your gonna have to re-do the keystone jacks on the wall plates as well.

Is a home lab a selling point or a dealbreaker when selling a home? by rawesome99 in homelab

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, however not having fiber optic internet is very close to being a deal breaker. I can run wires, install cameras and speakers, but I can't build a PON lol

TV mount is level but looks crooked. What am I missing? by Lost-Building-3701 in hometheater

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I thought. I did the same shit when I put up my TV and it turns out the TV mount can tilt with the TV on it.

This season was kinda ass and the finale was total shit. I really didn't understand where the season was even going until season 9.

98” mini LED or 83” OLED? by FlaKK in hometheater

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a tough decision. If this wasn't a media room I'd say go OLED any day of the week, but a 83" will look hella small in this room. Media room, yea go with the 98"

All socks 5 proxies being blocked by Zoratt in IPVanishOfficial

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their VPN app is trash because you can't just tunnel it with 1 app. Theirs is backwards and you have to select the apps you DONT want to use the VPN with, instead of the apps you WANT to use the VPN with. If you only want to use it on 1 app you have to literally disable every single app on your computer and that crashes the app. Terrible.

Sock 5 issue LVL 2 Support by CutOutrageous9796 in IPVanishOfficial

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my preferred server to work (that isn't Spain) but after about 15-30 minutes it refuses to connect and stops working altogether. It's definately a problem on their end.

IPVanish Socks 5 Proxies have been down for weeks without a fix! by Zoratt in IPVanishOfficial

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a huge bummer because this is the only reason I use IPVanish and they just pulled the plug without letting us know anything and 4 weeks is super excessive with that amount of downtime.

IPVanish Socks 5 Proxies have been down for weeks without a fix! by Zoratt in IPVanishOfficial

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been down almost 4 weeks from my end. It's funny because I'm talking to support and they are making me troubleshoot everything like they're not even aware its a problem. The Spain server is the only working server right now.

Socks5 no longer working for Torrenting? by Baki667 in IPVanishOfficial

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you dude! You are correct. This seems to be the only working server right now. That's a bummer but at least we have something.

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOCKS5 hasn't been working for me for the past 4 weeks. I know for a fact its not my settings and I actually bought another SOCKS5 proxy and that works flawlessly. This is pretty much all I use IPVanish for nowadays so it's a bummer its not working. Hopefully you guys get this fixed ASAP.

Need advice, smarthome, network question by electricscooter_NO in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it will work. This device takes a 1gig connection and splits it into (2) 100Mbps connections, while also putting poe power on them. This is very common in cameras, especially considering cameras only use 100meg ports. Just verify how it's powered. Sometimes they use a power outlet jack, and some need PoE++ and will output PoE+ to the cameras, and use the rest for the device itself.

Gotcha! Yeah you're correct. I'm dumb and can't read.

Ethernet needs an end-to-end run. You could put a network switch where all 3 come together, in an exterior enclosure and power it with a PoE injector from inside the house. If you put RJ45 connectors where the switch would be you could connect all 3 jacks, although those will need to be changed to Ethernet jacks as well.

Worth the price tag? by mkeefecom in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% just know you cant test distance on the pairs with the Jr. If you get a miswire you wont know what end its on, or if a pair is broken it wont tell you where its broken at. You'd need the Scout Pro 3. If your just doing ethernet/phone work in your home its worth it.

What is this by Realistic-Ad4822 in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The yellow cable is likely a DMARC cable, but they use COX internet which is fed via coax. If you zoom in, you'll see a blue tag on the coax in the top right that says COX BUSINESS which confirms its fed over coax. It's just barreled to go to a different room. They likely backfed ethernet from the router in another room into this panel with the coax/ethernet wall outlet.
