Re: [AFMUG] Stolen credit card info

2018-04-04 Thread Brett A Mansfield
In all honesty I have my suspicions of which one it was, but felt I’d let 
people know here. I’m not too concerned as most banks catch this pretty fast 
just as mine did. The only one I don’t think has anyone on this list has been 
notified separately. 

Thank you,

[AFMUG] Stolen credit card info

2018-04-04 Thread Brett A Mansfield
This is just an FYI and should not reflect poorly on the companies mentioned. 
All or even none of them may have been the cause. I’m sending this out just so 
people pay extra attention to their accounts and so the companies listed can 
verify their security.

I have an account/card I use ONLY for purchasing equipment. This card is only 
two months old and has just been used by someone in the Czech Republic. 

The ONLY places I’ve ever used this card at are the following websites:

Streakwave.com
Doubleradius.com
Balticnetworks.com
Flytechconputers.com
EnduranceHardware.com
Amazon.com

All were used within the past two weeks. The fraudulent charges happened today. 
I encourage all to check their accounts and website security/virus protection.

Re: [AFMUG] Splice Cases

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I need one that will service only two

point that has access for two subs but has room for at least 72 strand.

The block is advertised via BGP on our end, so why would they need to sail it

Re: [AFMUG] Blocked by the major streaming providers after getting new subnet

2017-11-08 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Any idea how to know which CDN to go to? 

It would be great if there were a website I could go to in order to check IPs 
for this kind of block, similar to the ones for email spam blockers.

Thank you,

LogicWeb basically told they’ll get me a different subnet, otherwise I 
basically have to figure it out on my own. They did offer to reach out to these 
companies if I could get them the direct contact details.

Before I deploy my second subnet I’m going to make sure they are whitelisted

[AFMUG] Blocked by the major streaming providers after getting new subnet

2017-11-08 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Anyone have contacts at Hulu, Vudu, Netflix or any of the other major streaming 
providers? 

I just leased a new subnet and it is being blocked by their servers for 
“proxy”. There are no proxies on my network. 

I dealt with this a while back, but now it is happening again.

Thank you,

Re: [AFMUG] Facebook Ireland IP flooding traffic

2017-11-07 Thread Brett A Mansfield
This customer has been doing this prior to implementing the new IPs. 

The new subnet is for NJ, so I’ve submitted tickets to get that adjusted. 
Hopefully that happens soon. For some reason nobody on my new subnet can load 
ksl.com either. That seems to be the only url to have this issue so far. 

Thank you,

[AFMUG] Facebook Ireland IP flooding traffic

2017-11-07 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I have a customer that is using 3x the bandwidth all my remaining customers on 
the same leg of the network use. The traffic is almost all from the same IP 
address. 

31.13.70.51

I was thinking a torrent VPN service, but this shows as a Facebook IP in the 
RIPE region and is registered as a direct assign to Facebook Ireland. Any idea 
what can cause this IP to have a nearly consistent 100Mb of bandwidth? 

I asked the customer and he said that he doesn’t do any torrenting and he 
thought it might be game updates (he is a PC gamer). I’ve seen what game 
updates do, and it’s nothing like this.

Re: [AFMUG] Sonar password requirements too strict?

2017-10-26 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I don’t like password managers. They make logging into things take forever. 
Also, I haven’t found one for Mac that I like.

I was first talking about my password when setting it up. It doesn’t matter if 
it is customer facing or my admin password, I should be able to choose my level 
of security. An 8 character password is secure enough for me and my small 
organization. 

But customer passwords certainly need to be easier and more relaxed.

Oh no, admin password should be very strong. But I am just barely playing with 
this for the first time and I didn’t know they made it so you can change the 
requirements. I’m quite impressed with sonar so far. It looks like it will take 
a very long time to setup because of how many features there are.

Re: [AFMUG] Sonar password requirements too strict?

2017-10-25 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I can tell already that it will be a serious challenge. I have a lot of 
customers that will be calling me just to complain that they cannot get into 
their account because the password requirements are too strict and they forgot 
their password again. 

Should I not be able to choose my own password requirements?

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield

So, I found a page that is perfect for this. I can change the password 
requirements. Glad to see they didn’t make me use long passwords. The 
80-somethings will thank you for this.

[AFMUG] Sonar password requirements too strict?

2017-10-25 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Anyone here that uses sonar find the password requirements to be too strict? 12 
character requirement. 

When it comes to passwords, I should get to choose any password I want when I’m 
paying someone for a service. I have the same issue with Apples new stuff. 

I just spun up a new instance of sonar to try it out. I haven’t even passed the 
password change screen yet and I think I’ve already decided to cancel.

2017-09-30 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Based on my experience with Ignitenet they will do what they say. But I don’t 
think anyone has these yet. Probably closer to Q2 next year you’ll be able to 
get some. Keep in mind that these are only good up to 700m with the 35mm CPE. 
They’re going to be pricey. 

Though, I cannot wait to get my hands on these.

True, until you realize you can only put 8 or 16 customers on an AP. Their

Re: [AFMUG] 60GHz

2017-09-11 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I’m not sure why that is funny. The average CPE cost is much less than the 
Ignitenet radios. I’m not running fiber, which is also cost prohibitive without 
deep pockets.  A good ROI for a WISP is 6-12 months. For fiber it’s 5-6 years. 
The reason being you’ll get many more service calls with wireless, as well as 
less consistent speeds. Fiber is solid and you don’t have to replace as many 
electronics as often. So I’m not sure why you laugh when I say Ignitenet is 
cost prohibitive.

[AFMUG] OT: Hurricane Irma

2017-09-03 Thread Brett A Mansfield
We are having quite the busy year for strong hurricanes. They don’t yet know 
the path of Irma, but are certain that Puerto Rico will get the full cat3 or 
even up to cat5 force of it. 

History of storms like these dictate that is go all along the eastern cost as 
it weakens. They are thinking it could surpass category 5 and become a super 
typhoon. That doesn’t sound good at all. 

Anyone ever have a storm topple a guyed tower?

Thank you,

They do have a way of doing so on the fcc ULS Page, but I imagine I’d still be

[AFMUG] Somewhat OT: Random reboots

2017-08-23 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I’ve been having the strangest day today with my network. It all started with a 
sudden reboot of my core router.  Made no sense to me at all until Sterling 
mentioned the brownouts (my core router sits right next to many of his switches 
in the same cabinet).

Next, another core router reboots about an hour later. No power loss, no 
indication of issues, just a random reboot caused by a random kernel panic. 

Then three hours later, two of my netonix switches rebooted with no warning. 

I’d say my network is being hacked, but there no manual commands triggered. It 
is just out of the blue. 

Maybe the solar eclipse did it? Or maybe I made some celestial being angry?  
Whatever it is, I just want it to stop!

I can see having reboots several times one one device, but one time on almost 
every device in such a small timeframe is paranormal. 

Thank you,

Re: [AFMUG] Brown-outs, Power fluctuations lock up Mikrotik CRS units

Could this have been the cause of my first outage in 7 months? I was wondering 
what happened. My router had a brief blip in voltage and rebooted. I was very

Re: [AFMUG] UBNT OLT Transition from Active Ethernet to GPON

2017-08-02 Thread Brett A Mansfield
It's funny to me that I was just on FS.com the other day and I saw they sell 
attenuators and I thought to myself, why on earth would you want to attenuate 
the signal? Now I know. 

Thank you,

Re: [AFMUG] UBNT OLT Transition from Active Ethernet to GPON

2017-08-02 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I need to print a retraction here. I have been talking to Martin at UBNT and he 
shows me the error of my ways. I do not have a 50% failure rate. In fact, it's 
a 0% failure rate. My signal was just too hot. I'm new to the SM Fiber game, so 
I'm learning as I go. I didn't realize the signal could be too hot at only -3 
dB. All of my multi mode Fiber sits at -2 dB and works really well.

You learn something new every day.

I've ordered a few of these to play with. They seem pretty comparable and a lot 
more proven, but I don't know if they'll work with the UBNT OLT.

I guess I'll see if they work soon enough.

2017-07-31 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I have heard a lot of complaints from DirectCom customers about their Fiber 
never being close to what they pay for, but that may be more related to the way 
it's throttled then the GPON. 

I've been playing with several of these ONT/OLT over the past week. I really 
like them. Though I have a 50% failure rate on the nanoG's. The fiber port 
breaks very easily.

[AFMUG] Security Cameras

2017-07-11 Thread Brett A Mansfield
This question has been asked a few times, but it's been a while and I cannot 
find the emails now.

I currently have the 720p models of Unifi Cameras. I want to upgrade to 
something with better resolution (1080p or better) and with PTZ (not all need 
PTZ, just some).

I'd like to be able to record to an NVR I set up and host. Preferably not super 
complex.

I'd like to stick around the same price point of the Unifi video devices. What 
would you suggest? Does such a product even exist?  I need 6 cameras to start 
with.

Thank you,

The downside is that it requires radius. It would be nice if it had its own 
built-in authentication. At least on the pro model. I don't want to setup a 
radius server for small businesses to use VPN. If I have to setup radius and 
there is no Domain controller, it's just easier and sometimes cheaper to 
forward the ports to a Mac mini and have it serve strictly as the VPN server.

I was just wondering. If such a radio existed, and I'm sure it does. I think 
I've decided to just use 3 AF24HD links in a daisy chain. I was just hoping to

Re: [AFMUG] extending fiber with RF

I'd recommend a UBNT Prism or the AF-5x. They have the power consumption and 
bandwidth capability you're looking for, and they are very cheap. They will 
also never have rain fade at that distance.

For so little throughput a 5GHz setup would be the cheapest and probably best

What keeps you from being a believer of the 60GHz? I can show you the history

Re: [AFMUG] 60Ghz PtMP, Why Doesn't Everyone Have It?

2017-05-08 Thread Brett A Mansfield
1500m is exactly what I meant. AKA 1.5 km. I thought I'd have constant rain 
fade, but it's only switched to the 5GHz backup once and that was in very heavy 
rain. The links are just below 1500. One is 1486m and another is about 1440m. 
I'm not sure what my other two are exactly, but pretty close to the same. 

I've had the same amount of rain fade as with my AF24 at 3 miles. 

The PtMP on the other hand fades a lot more in the rain. But it's not often we 
get sustained rain storms in Utah. They're usually gone as fast as the came. 
All of my PtMP links that are shorter (sub 500 m) have never faded out in the 
rain. 

60GHz is great! It certainly has its place. I'm using them for more than I 
should probably, but a gig for $1100 60GHz vs 24GHz 775Mb for $3000 when it's a 
short link? That's a no brainer.

[AFMUG] Underwater fiber

2017-04-27 Thread Brett A Mansfield
I am working on getting a link over a lake that is 12 miles wide. The lake is 
only 8 feet deep (Utah Lake in Utah County Utah).  I don't really have the 
means to run Fiber at the bottom of this lake, but it made me curious how 
someone would go about it? What kind of cable would be required, how would it 
be permitted, is this a common practice, etc? I just wanted to get people's 
thoughts on it.

Thank you,

I have an Ignitenet PtP link that is half a mile that doesn't fade in the rain. 
I'm sure it will if it gets really heavy. There has been rain, but not heavy

Re: [AFMUG] Current state of Hybrid Fiber/Wireless

There are the Ignitenet 60GHz radios. They are great! I can show you how I am 
setting a new deployment of them very soon. It limits how many APs are 
required. I'm able to get a consistent 900Mb over PtMP.

I have some customers with POTS lines that have had far more issues than any of

I had a customer here in Utah that didn't have their phone line installed in 
time for their inspection. 30 min before the inspector got there we bought a 
magicJack and a desktop UPS for it (internet router and connected switch 
already had a UPS large enough to last 72 hours). When the inspector saw it he 
said that was a great setup. The companies owner decided to cancel his order 
for the other phone line. It was $35/yr vs $79/mo. It's been a year and haven't 
had any issues. They test it monthly.

Re: [AFMUG] 11GHz and 18GHz real throughput

2017-02-09 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Okay, so in The valley I'm looking at there is one 6GHz link that is nowhere I 
near where I plan to put mine, there are two 11GHz links, neither of which 
would cross paths with mine, no 13 GHz at all, and two small links in 18 and 23 
GHz that might conflict. 

Now to start looking at a product to use. What do people recommend for 6 and 11 
GHz? Would it be cheaper and easier to just put up a few hops and use the AF? 
What do you guys suggest? I got the exact path length. It's only a mere 8 
miles. I really thought it would be 15, but I was pleasantly mistaken.

What does it take to get licensed in 6 GHz? Is it more difficult to get that 
license that it is 11 GHz?

[AFMUG] 11GHz and 18GHz real throughput

2017-02-08 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Hi,

I've never yet done a licensed link and there is plenty of these two 
frequencies available in my area. I need to be able to get 500Mbps at about 15 
miles. Is that possible with either of these?

What kind of real world speeds can I expect out of these and what channel size 
do I need to license to get those speeds? 

Is there something else I should consider? What brand/model radios and dishes, 
what other frequencies for easier licensing, etc? 

It would be great to be able to get a gig that distance, but I'm trying to be 
realistic and get just what I really need to start with. 

No legal advice please, just your experience with it and any knowledge you'd be 
able/willing to share with the licensing of these frequencies.

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield


Re: [AFMUG] Proxmox

2017-02-08 Thread Brett A Mansfield
Hi Jason,

You can create a cluster without external storage, but because it is syncronys 
replication it will double your write hit. But if you have a solid network and 
solid drives you'll barely notice if at all. 

For backups I recommend you use separate storage. Otherwise your risking losing 
your data if your primary raid array dies. 

Thank you,

Re: [AFMUG] POE Fiber Transceiver

2017-02-06 Thread Brett A Mansfield
If you're talking the full switch then I would start using their new CRS. The 
downside is you would need a copper SFP for each port if you're connecting 
regular twisted pair. But they have the full RouterOS Level 5 license. If it's 
for a single family dwelling then you can use the one copper port and not need 
any extra SFPs.

Re: [AFMUG] Price per sub?

2017-01-11 Thread Brett A Mansfield
It would be a lot cheaper to just take their customers. But it would be a lot 
more work and take more time. Also, that's kind of a jerk move I think. 
Besides, I really want the tower they own as part of it. Then I can possibly 
kick off their only competitor that pays to use it and then have 100% of the 
subs. 

Their 40' tower is the only one on this mountain and would be a great asset to 
my company and goals. And kicking off the other guys would free up the entire 
11Ghz spectrum in this valley making me be able to setup whatever links I need 
unhindered. 

Thank you all for your suggestions. I think I've figured out what to do next.

2016-11-15 Thread Brett A Mansfield
They have several sites that have both public routing and SD-WAN. They also 
have redundant routers. After getting in I've found that the VLANs are only in 
the bridges switch ports and there aren't any VLANs on the ports to the outside 
world. I cannot find anything in the firewall or routing policies that prevent 
access to management from all interfaces though.

Thank you,

Okay, so I'm finally into one of these routers without resetting it. The 
problem is that only a single interface allows me to log into them. I'm not 
super familiar with these CCRs, and I've been pulling teeth trying to figure 
out how to open it up so I can manage it from any interface. Can anyone point 
me to a tutorial or give me instruction on how to accomplish that?

Thank you,

Yes please!!! I'd love a UBNT 802.11ad Unifi solution!
