    Syslog your firewall friend

    Most of you own router/firewalls
    do they come with syslog options?
    the better ones do yes.

    How would you like to capture that stuff automatically?
    udp port 514 is your new friend
    just configure your pc to capture it into a log!
    then without even going to your browser to gui login to your router/firewall you can open the log and there you go!

    or if you are a linux person just set an option in syslog and then syslog.conf set the debug.info to your firewall.log file

    Re: Syslog your firewall friend

    thank you for making a topic where you ask and answer your own questions

    pfsense supports external syslog servers, which I would prefer in cases where pfsense is installed on flash media (like a CF ide card and such)

      why does this seem to be quasi spam based on how it is worded?

        I would think so, but there is no real product advertised

            Hardware firewall to block ad servers?
            by Hondaman
            I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)

            The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist...

            UPNP, "Standards" and hardware that implements it
            by EasyGoing1
            I've been writing a program in Java that is really just a robust front end for the use of GitHiub Gists, providing a nice interface for developers to organize, maintain and access code snippets that we tend to need from time to time in our different projects.

            One of the features of the program is the ability for people to share their Gists with others who use the program over a LAN or over the Internet. The program just basically serializes a Java class and encrypts it then wraps it into a UDP datastream and sends it over to another user.

            So I decided to implement UPNP...

            Friend messed up my laptop motherboard while working on my bench
            by Geeker007
            Hi All,

            So my friend was visiting and he wanted to use my solder bench to solder on some WLED circuit board. My laptop was open on the side for RAM upgrade. I know my mistake.

            So while soldering he had too much solder on the soldering iron tip and he just shook off the soldering iron on the table itself to remove extra solder on the soldering tip and it landed on the motherboard of laptop. He then out of fear tried to remove it using solder wick and did more damage by removing some components as well. So here I am with weird situation.

            I have not tried putting...

            Xiaomi router freezes at boot after re-capping
            by hinisa
            I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.

            When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.

            After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:



            Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during...
