Well, it IS a lot more sparse than IPv4. So I agree with you that firewall should be as tight on IPv6 as possible, it’s also not really feasible to port scan IPv6 addresses… From: AF On Behalf Of dmmoff...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 11:30 AM To: 'Jesse DuPont' ; 'AnimalFarm Micr

Due every 6 months. Periods are Jan1 - June 30 with filing due Sept 1, and July 1 - Dec 31 with filing due March 1. You have to have an FRN and a CORES login (new last filing). It's pretty straightforward once you log in. Cameron On Tue, Dec 14, 2021 at 12:57 PM Chuck McCown via AF wrote: > We

Read the FCC 477 instructions. The form is done online, and it’s easy except for the CSV attachments. With 40 customers and a small deployment you could probably get by doing it in Excel and looking up the census block and tract numbers by hand. That’s not going to scale well though. Lon

You can ping me and I can help. This next filing requires operators to use the census 2020 geography files now. For your small system I can make up some files for that general area and you can pick and choose them if you would like as things change/grow Thank you, Brian Webster www.wirelessma

I do these if you want help. For the deployment, I would just need a polygon (KML from GE is fine) around the homes you pass. I can create a spatial query against the census blocks as I already have a spatial DB set up for this. If you need subscriptions as well I can do those but I'd need a bit mo

Yes the firewall thing is a glaring hole especially since you’re giving out public IP space to everything. I wonder how many internet enabled refrigerators and ovens have log4j libraries. From: Jesse DuPont Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 11:49 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Gro

I have done (somewhat) comprehensive testing of consumer routers and IPv6. You're right, Cambium/ReadyNet's implementation is either not functional or buggy (like, sometimes fails to announce itself as a gateway to the LAN). Mikrotik is great, but does take a few

If you are dealing with a vendor concerning payments, I am assuming you are trying to pay them, right?  Wouldn't they (vendors) be shutting you off when you don't pay them?  A wee-bit confused here with the terminology used. My solution was when clients didn't pay, I turn the service down to
