Just to clear up another misconception here, the Captain of a DDG (usually a Commander) probably hasn't touched the wheel (yes, there is still a literal wheel) in a decade...

Also, contrary to popular belief, an Engineer in the Navy is usually nowhere near the most book-smart person in the room and has nothing to do with a school like LSU, but could usually make MacGyver proud

Having been a part of many of these, it was either an 18 year old right out of bootcamp trying it out with someone over his shoulder, or a 23yr old LTJG fresh out of College this past semester...

Also, if you have never been a part of or at least seen this in action its actually a pretty marvelous dance of two monsters and is a prime example of the Venturi effect

Thanks for the responses, its kind of the direction i was going..

I know when i audit at work, the rule order matters and had been drying to reorder mine at home to make it work too..

I think my wall is that simply putting allow all does not do that and block with nothing in it, does the opposite of that..

living and learning and GPT has been failry helpful in the block column

UCG-MAX / Firewall in general

This is all pretty new to me but i honestly expected it to be a little easier..

I'm able to block devices and traffic (even though it shows traffic, it comes across as blocked in the flow and the devices themselves will not load pages) What i can't seem to do, is ALLOW pages...

How can i set up one device on my wired network that essentially circumvents the cybersecurity checkboxed categories ( i did even select all and then take it out when applying)

I feel like i'm missing something easy
My daughter took my rates from 185 to 385
Called yesterday about my soon-to-be licensed son and it will likely go to around 685

He will be driving the 2011 Corollla that she drove for two years

Dont listen to anyone's advice here who hasn't done this in the last few years, its changing ever day
attempted to fix mine via video and got to the part where it wasnt worth it..

I boxed it up and took it to a local phone/electronics place her in BTR and for $85 the dude made it better than new

I’m considering adding a cheap cable connection as a backup WAN and upgrading main fiber plan to 2G because I work from home.


The pros of doing this myself was that I would have a stupid fast connection..

the cons, are that no matter how fast my home internet is, the VPN for work will always be what it is (and so on for every other upload connection)

For $60mo im fine with my 1Gb fiber

Editing to add: I bought the UCGMax.



Probably what ill go with too for the ports...I'm fine with my 1Gb internet but this one will future proof any additions...Im not a fan of the aio either, so would hate to get the wifi one and it be a dud

Looking at just getting a Unifi Cloud Gateway and rolling with that...Swapping my existing mesh system into AP mode and upgrading to an all u7 system eventually.

I already run pihole and honestly just want something for more visibility..Who goes where, blocking on a more "basic" level, etc..

Not worth building opensense, etc. for the price of the unifi boxes and i really dont see any other brands with the straightforwardness of the Ubiquiti system...

Open for suggestions, pulling the trigger probably Monday, looks like you pretty much get them straight from the source
Depends..

if you want dongleless (?) get the xbox headset..its cheap and it works wirelessly

If you want dongle, i use the Arctis 7...wish i would have gone with the pro, but may still upgrade
