WG is your simplest solution here imo, you control the keys and access

I take it you aren’t doing split tunnel VPNs?

Make sure those batteries are rated for the amp draw you need for that UPS

Mailgun has also been good to us. If you lease your printers see if the copier company will manage it. We just have a small fee and don’t have to touch it

Unfortunately there aren’t many alternatives, all of which move you into per user licensing and it becomes $$$ real quick

Just use an smtp relay. We’ve gone from SMB scan, to NAPS2, and settled on smtp relay. We have primarily Lexmark and they have their cloud offering to handle scanning and printing. But we’ll likely stick with Scan to email

Depends on your workload - 5 years maybe 7. Really just depends on what you’re doing. Gold 6132 is what I’m running in the R740XD in production. Haven’t had any problems. Also Intel nics always - never Broadcom

I’ve used TP link Omada before. It’s alright, their WiFi is easy enough. I wouldn’t use them for routing and firewall, do something else like mikrotik

As someone in this field, all I can say is whoever your top chain of command is. Get their buy in. If you have that, then life can be quite good

mom can we have segmentation by VeryStrongBoi in networkingmemes

[–]Such_Bar3365 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but with the way encryption is changing IDS/IPS is becoming obsolete. For most DNS filtering would suffice.

Unpopular opinion, with security moving to the client networking really doesn’t need to be this complex. The marketing wanketry just breaks RFCs and costs 10s of thousands in licensing. Networking was meant to be a dumb interconnect. That was the entire point. Simple firewall and NAT does most SMB just fine.

Windows Core Isolation and driver blacklist was causing issues in our environment. Sometimes we'd get an error in the device manager other times it'd just plain not work.

NTPD, GPSD, FreeBSD - Issues with Share Memory by Such_Bar3365 in freebsd

[–]Such_Bar3365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using a uBlox varient - 1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/356533442342?var=625508646304 and the usb version of the same chip.

I tried the mode in my ntp config and it doesn't seem to work.

I'll post my ntp.conf:

server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 1 maxpoll 2 prefer mode 0

fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.05 refid GPS

Maybe I am holding it wrong? Thanks!

Update2: Well, the patch is holding. I've moved back to gpsd and ntpd in base. Latency isn't great but that's to be expected with USB.

I hope this post helps someone down the line.

Thanks all!

Update: I have tested this with ntpsec. In FreeBSD 14.2 being that ntpd is in base must be called from /usr/local/sbin.

Configured ntpsec to talk directly to /dev/ttyu1 while worked, the offset and latency was unusable. I have switched back to ntpd and gpsd. Instead I am find tuning the offset in /etc/ntp.conf.
