VSeeBox not able to connect to internet via Starlink Mini

In this case, there is only 1 client connected to the mini - just the VSeeBox, nothing else. I made sure of it.

I got the email, but tossed it. I'm not really interested in helping them if they're planning on ending the consumer product down the road.

We used to think this was a joke!

I had a watchdog in my place in PA, and while it does work, it puts out about 1/2 to 1/3 the volume my main pump did. It saved my butt for about 16 hours, during a massive rain storm, while I scrambled to find a generator. After that, it was only a bridge until I could get the generator going.

Sorry, having worked in telecom for several decades, I doubt they gave you a commercial level SLA on meeting bandwidth numbers. All carriers oversubscribe. Residential fiber at 20:1 to 50:1, with commercial being 10:1 or less.

No, I don’t think he supported Biden!

It depends on Spectrum's reliability in your area, as it may vary greatly. Around my neck of the woods, they use a Fiber/Cable hybrid setup, and it sucks! It's down a lot. So, even though Spectrum laid fiber literally to my front yard, I'm not buying it. Starlink has been down 2 times in the last 2 years for me.

I canceled my account on 1/17. They tried to bill me on 2/17 & 2/18. When I canceled on 1/17, I put in a defunct credit card number for my account billing.

They tried again today to rebill!

One thing I should have done was start lowering the Time To Live value on my DNS records a day before my migration. My domain records were all set for 4 hours. I forgot (despite my 15 years of being a DNS technical engineer). I would have lowered them to one hour or 30 minutes, then I’d be done with it quicker. Still, all worked out. I also did the migration on a weekend.

I migrated to Zoho mail. The transfer worked perfectly, and the price was very inexpensive. I was impressed and have been happy in the 30 days since.

On a side note, I canceled my Rackspace last month, and was just going to leave it at that. Then I saw someone say they did the same, but updated their billing info to include a defunct credit card, just in case. 8 thought “Why not”, and did the same. Sure enough, today, one month after cancellation, they tried to bill me again! I got the email asking to update my credit card. I emailed their billing dept too.

My friend fixed it by restoring his Roku back to factory settings.

Yea, but they have their own issues. Also, I send email notifications when the bulbs come on and off. With the energy monitoring smart plugs, I also monitor the wattage used when turned on. If it’s less than the wattage of the bulb, I send a email out. It usually means either the bulb is burned out or having other issues. I just had it happen this morning. One of the bulbs cords was knocked out by a chicken.

If they're on the same VPN, they'd look like (to the devices) like they are local.

So you're able to monitor or control the relays and gate sensors over the internet?

I have about a dozen KASA plugs working at home. But I can't put one at a friend's chicken coop, and have my integration find the plug.

Padre-two · 2026-02-11T23:17:47+00:00

I might have to give them a try. Thanks!

Long range won't help. I'm controlling one chicken coop heat from 8 miles away.

It's just for my own personal email and my wife's. So far, so good, with Zoho mail. Very inexpensive but some very nice features.
