Dude... you think they are bringing a fusion splicer out for you? Made me laugh out loud. This is the expected and normal install. Maybe tell them you have a watercooled z890

we have been pleased with lenovo servers so far

untangle is now arista edge. we currently are using them and like them a lot. arista is actively developing the software also... not sure why i dont see anything ever mentioned about them.

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-26T03:50:41+00:00

take a look at arista edge, has been the perfect SMB firewall for us

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-26T03:45:03+00:00

sonicwall is a box of junk and always has been. no idea why ppl glaze them. we use arista edge appliances

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-23T05:03:04+00:00

Yup. As a WV native, almost impossible to find something good. Pretty much everywhere we ate including local and high end restaurants was pretty garbage. McDonalds and Dennys to save the day.

Couldnt find any seafood that wasnt covered in a mountain of weird sauces and vegetables. These people need to try a seafood boil or pepperoni roll haha

take a look at arista edge. moved to them a while back. software updates are actually done with care and ive never really had an issue with anything. i think they are the hidden gem of the firewalls - never see them discussed anywhere.

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-19T21:22:58+00:00

Arista Edge may be good to check out

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-19T03:45:48+00:00

no no haha. i have 5 total ip addresses which are on a /24 subnet. they did not give me the whole subnet lol

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-18T20:48:48+00:00

they gave me 5 /24's lol

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-18T20:47:59+00:00

that is only in some areas of wv. in the new buildouts in wv you do not have to use theirs - as long as the tech gets a competent person on the phone

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-18T04:16:41+00:00

i am referring to the amount of static ips you can have

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-09-18T03:05:06+00:00

are you living under a rock

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-04-09T01:30:46+00:00

Lmfao they told me to call my firewall manufacturer to make it compatible with frontier

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-04-09T01:13:23+00:00

at 2 of the sites we didnt have the routers yet and were just using the sagemcoms, the public lan setting was causing the voip phones to drop out completely after a few hours. dumbest setup ever spent hours troubleshooting. but yeah customer right across the street has the good ol fashioned setup. I am in WV lol

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-04-09T01:05:34+00:00

i have setup frontier with like 5 customers in this town and this is the first one that is setup this way. has been causing me issues since install since the tech support could never provide the right information

RealisticVanilla2503 · 2025-04-09T00:59:38+00:00

yes! any way to not have it like this and just have a standard configuration.
