[slim] Web Control
Madam/Sir, I have been using my SB 2 and 3s for almost 15 years but have rarely had to ask questions. As a matter of fact I had lost my old registration information and had to register anew just to access the site. I have been having problems with my Samsung N120 netbook that I use to stream to my SB 2 and 3s; it has been running 24/7 for about 5 years so it might be ready to quit. To get back to a semblance of usability I had to do a recovery from early 2017. I had been using LMS then but immediately updated to the latest nightly LMS; I know that I am somewhat anal about having the latest updates. But when I did that the screen on my SB2s went blank although I can turn them on and use them as normal. However the menu is different also. When I tried to get into the Web Control to see what might be happening I get the error that it has no file association and cannot be loaded. HELP!!

It is a router that is managing the tunnel and all three radios, tablets, phones, Rokus, AppleTVs, route through it . . . Even the AP itself is using _optout and _nomap suffixes to prevent mapping by SSID.

Re: [slim] Location Services
Unfortunately, using a VPN does not guarantee being unblocked. Some services monitor for VPN assigned addresses and block them when detected. Netflix is one of the most aggressive in doing this and in my experience Pandora does the same. Some VPN providers try to stay ahead of the game by acquiring new IP addresses, but eventually the streaming services catch them out. I personally use both a VPN and DNS provider and find the latter to be more reliable when accessing US streaming services. Regardless, you should contact your VPN provider about the problem because they generally rely on their customers to tell them what sites are blocked before they take corrective action. raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109283 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Location Services
In a previous job I had working for a film streaming company, I would look at streaming sessions with high "buffering" associated with them. Typically anything over 1%. Our content was restricted via various methods to clients in the US and Candada. About once or twice a week I would see very high buffering problems with one or two sessions. These would typically be from IP addresses associated with VPN providers in the US and had snuck past some restrictions we had in place to comply with our distribution licensing. Our client would also report the WAN IP address of the machine it was running on so we were able to determine that many of these sessions were coming from United Arab Emirates and various countries in Europe. But a surprising high percentage from UAE. At first, these our of North America streaming sessions were very infrequent and we just ignored them as if they are going to try to do this and suffer > 10% buffering, oh well. After a while it was more than just a handful and we had to put into place more safeguards.
