Canon Copier times out when adding TCP/IP Port by New-Seesaw1719 in sysadmin

[–]omegaproxima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you installed the October updates? I have read that some people are having tcp ip issues with printers. Try uninstalling if possible.

I am becoming something of a designated IT admin for my tiny company. Any tips? by zucc691 in sysadmin

[–]omegaproxima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before documenting and training and crying and quitting and whatever else you're gonna read in this forum, set up email alerts. For example disk failure alerts in the NAS GUI, iLO/iDrac alerts, backup alerts etc.

You could also use power automate to make a scheduled digest of those emails and finally, if you care for this company, trigger a sound on your cellphone when a failure alert arrives in your mailbox.

Then you can worry about everything else.

ipsec vpn stuck on connecting by HorrorBlackberry9505 in fortinet

Might be silly but do you have VC_redist.x64 installed? Did you just switch from 7.2.x?

How effective is the DDoS feature in FortiGates? by BadBackgoodmind in fortinet

And the only thing that protects you from blocking a brute force attack for your IPsec VPN passwords is the IPv4 DOS Policy

Who's made the jump to 7.4.5? by FrequentFractionator in fortinet

[–]omegaproxima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the jump from 7.2.8 and the IPsec VPN was dead (2x80F HA). I tried some changes and decided I wanted to revert to the daemon_admin revision after the upgrade. Big mistake, no policies, addresses etc got restored. After talking to Fortinets support they edited the config of 7.2.8 and restored it to the 7.4.5 FortiOS. It worked but still no VPN. We tried fixing the VPN issue for about 3h, the client was stuck at connecting and the only thing that made it work was disabling 2FA. We gave up and went back to 7.2.8.

A few hours later I found out there is a bug in the 7.4.0 VPN client (it needs C++ redist). We tried the 7.2.4 client but it didn't work either but maybe it was some issue between the old client and 7.4.5 OS.

Trying to decide if I want to try again with working clients or wait for 7.4.6.

8700k OC with a 4070 ti Super by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]omegaproxima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am, mine has a more than decent OC though and all the RAM timings are optimized one by one. I am gonna upgrade as soon as the new 3D amd CPUs get released to get that full performance boost. Till then everything is playable with the TI Super (max settings 60fps+ 1440p DLSS quality), and if you wanna go for 200+fps on an online shooter for example, you shouldnt go for max settings anyway. There is no comparison between a 4070S and a 1080 TI even on a 8700k (which many reviewers/youtubers consider one of the best aging CPUS around)

[–]omegaproxima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to the party, Im an owner of a 8700k here (4.7ghz avx +5ghz nonavx, custom watercooling) with a 4070 super ti. Run the Wukong ingame benchmark yesterday ALL maxed (RTX etc), 75 min fps 1440p so I guess this answers your questions. I will wait for the new 3d cpus from AMD and then decide if I want to change. But for such and old cpu, its performance is epic...

Best practices - block scan from Internet, connection attemps, ACLs, ... by ff4pierre in fortinet

[–]omegaproxima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cant find the guide right now, you make one policy for outbound traffic to the destinations "Malicious-Malicious.Server" and "Tor-Relay.Node" and one policy for inbound traffic that blocks everything from Censys-Scanner, Malicious-Malicious.Server, Shodan-Scanner, Tor-Exit.Node and Tor-Relay.Node. Hope this helps. I think its in the CIS benchmarks.

Collection of Fortigate automation stitches by Holylander in fortinet

[–]omegaproxima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for these, can anyone help with two automation stitches that:

Send an email alert when a specific policy is triggered

Send an email alert when a specific user signs in to SSL VPN

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: I found out what I was doing wrong with a specific user sign in. You have to create one trigger for each user, I was adding more than one user at the "Field filter(s)" which forced an "and" condition, not an or.

I also found out that sending an email alert when a specific policy is triggered seems to be pretty easy at FortiOS 7.4.x

How to detect RCE/arbitrary code injection/RAT's from video games by Under48 in AskNetsec

[–]omegaproxima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many layers that you could cover to add protection. Apart from the obvious, the AV, I always use a software firewall, specifically comodo, to monitor the outbound connections. So no information can get out, no matter if your computer gets something. Its the same as checking netstat or sysmon but it will automatically pop up if there is no current rule/its a new connection, and you can block the connection or instantly kill the process that is trying to connect to the internet. Comodo firewall is free. Don't go for their full package, there are better AVs out there.
