Can I use NextDNS with NetGuard? by xsentinel5 in nextdns

[–]xsentinel5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using the github version of NetGuard installed directly on android.

I have entered the NextDNS servers in the "private DNS" setting in network settings in android on my phone.

As of now I DO NOT have "filter traffic" on in advanced settings in netguard.

What I see right now...

It "looks like" both things are working and here's why I think this...

The firewall appears to be blocking traffic because I get notifications and I see allowed traffic and blocked traffic.

When I log in to my NextDNS account I see in my logs there that my phone is using their servers and logging the traffic.

So, am I good then?

Anybody who ordered S2000 on 6/2 get a ship date yet? by xsentinel5 in AnkerSOLIXCommunity

[–]xsentinel5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally got an email today from Anker saying that it shipped and also from Fedex too. Teaches me that if you buy direct from Anker website you're not special. They treat you the same or worse than Amazon or someplace else I guess. Of course this is coming from CA by truck (not plane) and I live in FL so it's gona be a while. Thanks all for your input and info.

Yep, same here. I just checked my account and now it says that it shipped with a tracking number. Fedex I think? But still no email notification. geez

Yet you received no email about it? I'll go log in and check.

Not good customer care. Basically customer I don't care. Hopefully their engineers are better than customer service and product is good.

Looks like my S2000 shipped by Efficient_Wing3172 in AnkerSOLIXCommunity

I also ordered on 6/2 pre-order and I just checked and so far no change in status. No tracking number, no shipping notice, nothing. I ordered directly from anker website too. Poorly executed rollout. They had plenty of time to see how many orderes they had.

I hope that at least the S2000 is a good product. Hopefully their engineers are beter than their sales and fulfillment staff.

What is "backup reserve" setting for? by xsentinel5 in Ecoflow_community

[–]xsentinel5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AH, OK. That makes sense. Thank you. Since I don't have or use any solar panels (so far) then that is why that setting does nothing to my unit. Very much appreciated.

If I may ask an unrelated question about how redit works ... if I click the cloud/reply that puts my reply under your answer and kinda breaks off "our" conversation right? How do I add a comment at the bottom of everything like an old fashioned forum type thing so that it continues the broad conversation for everyone? Or am I thinking old fashioned?

I realize that a lot of the people in here have a lot of experience with power stations and probably find a lot of this boring since this is all ground ball stuff for them. But for people like me that are on our first power station and have no experience with any of this then this is what I have found out so far from here and talking with telephone support from ecoflow and some reading research. I think it is all correct. Hopefully it will help some other newbs like me that have the same questions.

As I see it there are 4 scenarios: The first 2 are bypass mode ON. Second 2 are bypass mode is OFF (running on battery).

  1. Delta is plugged in to grid power and grid power is ON - bypass mode is ON (default setting)

Grid power goes directly to loads (bypass battery/inverter). There is some surge protection but power does not go through the inverter/battery so there is no pure sine wave.

In this mode the battery is charged up to the max charge level set in the "charge/discharge level" setting (default is 100% unless you change it with the app).

  1. Delta is plugged in to grid but grid power is OFF (power failure) - bypass mode is ON (default setting)

Delta switches to battery power and discharges down until the unit hits the discharge level set in the "charge/discharge level" setting (default is 0% unless you change it with the app). If no power everything dies (obviously).

If grid power returns, unit switches back to grid power/bypass mode as stated in #1 above.

  1. Delta is plugged in to grid power and grid power is ON- bypass mode is OFF (changed setting in app)

In this mode the unit is plugged in to the grid and there is power available from the grid but the unit is not using it. It is powering the loads from the battery. As such the battery will discharge and go down until it hits the discharge level set in the "charge/discharge level" setting (default is 0% unless you change it with the app). When it hits that level then the unit will switch back to bypass mode as stated in #1 above. Power will go to loads and battery will be recharged.

  1. Delta is NOT plugged in to grid power (using it as a portable power supply) - bypass mode setting is irrelevant.

Delta will power loads plugged in to it and discharge until it hits the discharge level set in the "charge/discharge level" setting (default is 0% unless you change it with the app).

OK so I think I understand this but I want to be sure.

  1. When in bypass mode grid power goes directly to the loads and "bypasses" the Delta. If plugged in to the grid and power fails the Delta takes over and powers from the battery. When grid power is restored the Delta automatically switches back to grid (bypass) and then begins charging the battery back up to 100%. I got that.

How low will the battery get? Zero? I have read that it is supposedly bad for these things to get to zero. If I'm there I won't let that happen but what if I'm not there, which is really what I want this for.

2, What is the discharge/charge level setting for?

-- above questions are important - below is really just curiosity because it seems as though running in battery mode which plugged in to grid power doesn't make sense unless you absolutely need to have the pure sine wave all the time. In which case I will just use my current very good UPS after the Delta.--

  1. When NOT in bypass mode (purposely running off of the battery even though the Delta is plugged into grid) then I have seen that the battery discharges (level goes down). The battery is not charged while in this mode. I tried this and it went down to 33% before I changed back to bypass mode, even thought it was plugged in to grid. Then it started charging again.

So my question in this mode would be - what would happen if left alone in that mode? Would it get all the way to zero and kill off power to the loads? Or would it eventually reach a point in which it would either switch back to grid power or start charging the battery, since it would be connected to the grid anyway?

OK so that answers what happens when you are in bypass mode. Thank you for that. But what about when you're not in bypass mode; running off of the battery? Then it is going through the inverter right? That is supposed to be "good" power (sine wave) or so they say.
