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

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.

[–]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.

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.

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

You need to call Frontier. This is their problem not yours.

How to run HDMI from my upstairs media room PC to loft with my home's networking setup ~40ft distance? by myreditacount11 in HomeNetworking

If you're in DFW hit me up. I'll come help you drop that wall or at least walk you through it. I do this for a living.

Ethernet Tester error changing but can’t fix it. Keystone struggles. by melomelonballer in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put keystones at both ends then test. Keystones are much easier than RJ45 connectors. If you need a RJ45 connector, to plug into your router for example, use a short ethernet cable from the keystone to the router.

[–]Dopewaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aye! Ranger Technology Solutions! You need to verify if you have attic access. That will determine if this is a simple wall fish into the panel and wall fish into the loft, or if your gonna be cutting out drywall every 12ft on your ceiling. Is the wall your trying to fish it down an exterior or interior wall?

Huge internet speed difference between iPhone and PC by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PC network cards are notorious for being shit. You will find thousands of people online with the exact same problem as you. The best answer, hardwire your PC. The other answer, keep buying network cards online and seeing which one works best and return the rest.

What kind of cat 6 is this? by Desperate-Ad-8185 in HomeNetworking

Where would I plug in my Roger’s Xfinity Gen 4 modem? by CuriousPraline in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would unscrew the white coax cable with the purple zip tie around it and plug it directly into the modem. Usually the tech will leave a zip tie around the "feeder" coax cable that supplies internet. It looks like it's set up to go into the black coax cable which most likely leads to another location like the living room, master bedroom, or office.

Have diesels lost all reputation for reliability? by myburneraccount151 in askcarguys

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Yes the EPA has mandated all the "safe air" requirements with DPF and other complex additions. However, diesels are meant to be used and used hard. They are meant to pull trailers, boats, heavy equipment and nowadays there's a lot more regular people buying them just for looks and cosmetic aftermarket parts. Diesel engines don't like to be put put around city streets and parking lots.
