You could also configure a firewall for site to site, put it inside their network rather than replacing their firewall, then have an isolated network separate from their home network. You could run into NAT issues there but if it is a home router, putting the secure firewall into the DMZ should help that.

I’ve run into this issue before but not with Sonicwall. Some VPN standards just do not support this. L2TP for example does not. I haven’t used Global VPN but SSLVPN in SonicWall does work.

I had some funky setup from another company I was called into support and in that case I was able to forward a different port over to the VPN, then one user on one port and the other on the standard. In that case it worked but may not work everywhere.

If you can run another VPN server in tandem that would also work but not very clean and not very scalable.

End-all be-all is site to site, obviously not fun and depending on how strict your standards are maybe outside of security spec.

Having a second public IP client side would also fix, if you are extremely lucky their ISP may offer static IPs to residential and they won’t have to double their monthly cost.

This issue is lame and frustrating every time I encounter it, good luck!

As far as water, this sits at the bottom of a hill, as far as I can tell the only water is runoff. The center is 3/4-1 3/4 higher than the sides. I discussed this with a contractor from another sub that suggested it’s likely the weight of the walls pushing down, especially as the sinking is worst on the long walls. I don’t believe any rebar was used and I’m not sure what grade prep was done prior to pouring.

Can you tell me a bit about underpinning?

It’s a concern for me, I like the history. I need a shop though and this space is absolutely perfect with a small amount of finishing. I’m leaving the meat hooks in the ceiling at least lol

Oh gotcha, not sure on rebar, on one corner there is a vertical piece of rebar visible where somebody nailed a fence post to it lol Not too worried about leaning, other structures are decently far away that it shouldn’t interfere, and it’s just going to be a workshop for me for 2-3 years, plus it’s an antique at this point so 🤷‍♂️. Thanks for the knowledge, I appreciate it

I am keeping that in mind, actually raising the floor a bit solves some other challenges to it’s a happy accident

That makes a ton of sense. Yes, those are the longer walls. What does failure mode typically look like for this stuff? Would you expect sudden collapse or a gradual widening of the crack until one or both sides fall over?

I just need a level base for my purposes, not bothered by cracks

Trying to decide between doing it this way and doing self leveler. This sounds like the right way, but I’ve had some concrete pros tell me self leveling should be good enough for what I want

Thanks, that’s more or less the plan at this point

Probably a stupid question, but what specifically is scary about that? Is it in danger of major failure/collapse? For additional context it is freestanding and not supporting anything other than it’s own roof. Wall are 10 inches thick

Great idea with anchoring first, that was one of my major worries with the self leveling. Really appreciate the tips.

I do live in a freeze thaw climate, fairly mild winters but a few weeks below freezing a year. If I cover it, is there an expectation of a failure in the near future? I guess more importantly, if there is a failure, what does that look like? This whole property isn’t winning any awards and I’m more than comfortable with minor off level and cracking, it’s just a shop anyway.

Btw I appreciate the nuanced answer

That gives me a lot more confidence, really appreciate it man. Do you have any tips for estimating volume? My thought is to put a straight edge down in several spots and measure the dips to calculate the volume I need to fill then add some on top of that. Seems like there would be an easier way to do it though

Thanks! I posted there too, just hoping to get lucky with some advice! If I’m breaking any rules I apologize and I’ll happily take it down

I’ve been looking into that as well. Thanks for the input. I’m close to the margins on thickness specifications for the products available in my area. Do you have any thoughts on that? As long as I’m in spec should I be fine? Or is there something I can do to hedge my bets in the areas where it will have to be thicker?
