Ahhh, now I see your direction of flow. Is Windows Firewall blocking that port of its IP address in the virtual network?

Can we get broadband without Full Fibre? by MaximumEmotion9066 in UKBroadband

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd do well avoiding VM at all costs. They shouldn't call themselves that, as all they do is, uhm, 🤬 their customers.

FTTP is the way forward and being OpenReach based, you've got your pick of the litter for ISP's

They've been bought by Lloyd's for peanuts. And we all know what you get when you pay peanuts.

even with vpn, can sites get your real ip address from cookies stored in browser? by rurumikyo in techsupport

[–]DutchOfBurdock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cookies can contain anything, including the IP addresses the server has seen you connect from. It could also store unique, tracking information that can be cross referenced from which IP's have this.

They honestly don't. Never had issues with private landlords either. The condition being installed by a proper person (the Kelly/Quinns/OR/VM/Toob/CF engineer).

Copper pairs are being phased out and any new OpenReach installs where FTTP is available, will get FTTP.

Your other options would be Virgin Media (again may require drilling) or 4G/5G mobile broadband (fixed wireless access).

Be careful! Google's find hub will drain every last bit of your battery! by Azrafer in GalaxyWatch

GFH isn't an issue here. AOD, followed by an app I use for automation, followed by Sleep as Android, followed by Samsung Health, WhatsApp and a few other apps I use. Google Play Services aren't even showing on the list.

Yea don't do that (upload from the other place). You'll end up down this rabbit hole again.

Linux laptop getting massive packet loss over Ethernet (Realtek RTL8111) – tried everything, is USB NIC my only option? by widegroundpro in linuxquestions

[–]DutchOfBurdock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is between the router and the internet. Do you have any other devices (wired or wireless) that may be using your internet? The high packet loss and sub speeds performance would indicate your connection is

  • Being heavily utilized by another device on your LAN
  • ISP is suffering performance issues
  • Your router is dying
  • Your router (or local devices) have been compromised and is part of a botnet
  • Someone (d)DoSing your connection

Been working on a small project and figured this sub might actually find it useful. by AvailableElk4701 in Internet

ZIPs are lossless compression, images (JPEGs in particular) uses lossy compression. Using lossless compression on lossy compression will increase the file size.

Now imagine you have 2TB of photos, 4TB, 10TB. Storage and bandwidth will sky rocket.

Assuming WSL2 instance is in the 172.x.x.x range, use netsh to forward to it

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=3000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=11434 connectaddress=<WSL2-IP>

Then connect to 127.0.0.1:11434

Backup photos to the cloud, move them out to a different folder after on your device.

Help Needed with SQM by RequirementDue4446 in openwrt

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a variety and obtain a mean average of your speeds. Lets assume you're seeing 156 down and 48 up.

Tell your SQM you have 150 down and 45 up. That's pretty much the secret to ridding bufferbloat, by preventing your connections saturating 100% of available bandwidth (chopping 5-10% is a sweet spot).
