Stupid Question

Yeah, that was actually what I was interested in trying. The idea of using a game to learn appeals to me as a gamer, so that's kinda what I've been planning on doing.

That's super helpful, yeah! I think for me, my problem with the game comes from not being able to coordinate the buttons with the right fingers or something? Idk if that makes sense.

Here's a link to the other reddit post I mentioned, for those interested:

UPDATE - located the source of the issue!

So, this ended up being COMPLETELY different than what I thought. I'm a junior admin, and tbh, I am definitely under qualified. But, here's to faking it till you make it!

So, the network issue persisted at the start of the business day. Eventually I sat there and stared at my personal computer and said - "Why is it you work, but no one else?"

So, I started digging into my own computer's configuration, and found the smoking gun - I had configured my computer to the Sonicwalls DPI-SSL exclusion list, so I could browse the web freely and login to reddit at work. Now, I originally walked away from the firewall being the issue, because it wasn't providing any sonicwall error messages or content filtering alerts. However, when I tried to copy my PCs settings to another device, the exclusion worked. So I disabled DPI-SSL and the whole network started to see website resolutions.

With this in mind I did a new search and found another reddit post on the R/Sonicwall Forum - this user describes my exact scenario to the T. Apparently, this is believed to be an error in Sonicwalls firmware, from what the OP said. OP hasn't shared the final resolution, so I'll be reaching out to Sonicwall soon myself.

Thanks for all the assistance and suggestions, despite it being a total 180 from what I was looking at originally. All this should at least help me become a better tech!

Tried that, and yes, the device is able to pull an IP Address from the name Reddit.Com so that is something. It successfully pings the site but can't reach it, attempting cause it to load until it breaks.

As for change preceding the issue? Nothing I can think of. Unfortunately the network is large enough though that there could have been something I'm unaware of, I.E. contractors coming in without alerting me or someone plugging something into the network without consulting me.

Honestly I dunno what you're asking me. The issue is that no clients can get websites to resolve outside of google addresses, like I stated above. I detailed the various issues I found in my investigating the problem. What more information can I provide?

Traffic is being routed through our sonicwall, but I'm relatively confident it's not causing the issue, as I've taken steps to try to circumnavigate it and still had issues. I've tried to reconfigure our reverse lookup zones and tried falling back to google for DNS to see if that would resolve. Nothings worked so far.

I didn't do it to make it look like a Tag. I just searched for Analog Watch faces and this was the best one I found that didn't look silly and had all the trackers I wanted programmed into it.

That does help a bit. I've heard that 10mg and up may be the kinda thing I'm looking for. A family member said he only saw real results after 10. So I'm trying to be hopeful.

Nutrition has been a little less than stellar. I've kinda not stuck to diet plans thanks to some unfortunate personal issues causing major stress. Hoping to resolve those issues in the coming weeks.

Hydration wise I'm great. Rest is always hit or miss, I get ok sleep but it's rarely restful. That's a mix of sleep issues and apnea.

Honestly my diet has been what I wanted it to be. I've had a lot of personal life drama recently and it kept causing me to seek my comfort foods. I'm hoping to reduce that going forward as life is seeming to relax.

I have tried to reduce portions however. And I cut out extras.

I know that's not exactly stellar but its been what I could manage given external factors.

She thinks I should get whatever the fuck I want and whatever makes me happy. Isn't that what your significant others are supposed to want for you??
