Re: [Emc-users] [Emc-developers] Off topic question - Need help with remote cell phone data connection via site to site VPN

Perhaps I didn't make it clear what is screwing me up technically. A few years ago Sprint, Verizon and others would allow incoming connections to a cell phone modem. They no longer allow that unless they specifically setup the account to allow that. So you can't buy a USB 4G dongle, hotspot,

This is why you should buy/operate your own equipment and just buy a data plan for the modem, IMHO. -Tom > On Oct 18, 2015, at 4:25 PM, Dave Cole wrote: > > Thanks guys. > > When I boil it all down, the real problem I am having is dealing with > the cell phone

Thanks guys. When I boil it all down, the real problem I am having is dealing with the cell phone companies.They like to "control" the customer even when they don't know what they are doing. I'm crossing Sprint off my list. Next up is AT I've got another guy chasing solutions with

if you need real encryption, put in a netscreen 5 on each end and get a signed certificate for them. When working for IT at a bank, we used them for our wire transfers for international wires, It can be hard core encryption. Once set up, it is dead easy to use. Netscreen 5 refurb is $125 or so

Re: [Emc-users] [Emc-developers] Off topic question - Need help with remote cell phone data connection via site to site VPN

i used sprint for primary internet for a while. Last few years I have Exede satellite feed. it is about $100/mo for 15GB, and $10/G additional use, Other plans are available. It is pretty solid. I'd still go for a wired feed to keep costs down. (No DSL or cable available) On Sat, Oct 17,

Re: [Emc-users] [Emc-developers] Off topic question - Need help with remote cell phone data connection via site to site VPN

I need a fast connection as we want to be able to do remote video and also do debugging of the PLC control remotely via the comm link with the help of a remote video camera. One problem that I am having is that Sprint wants to control what device I use. They literally offer one device at a

Dave, It might be possible to get a could based VPN service that supports the phones and other devices in question. The idea is that this are some known end points that all the devices connect to and establish an ad hoc VPN. I have not used any of these services and have absolutely no idea of the

That could be a work around for uncooperative cell phone companies, but it would make things much more complex. I didn't realize that Google has a VPN cloud solution. Thanks, Dave On 10/17/2015 5:09 PM, Jerry Scharf wrote: > Sorry, that's cloud based. bad fingers! > > On Sat, Oct 17, 2015 at

Re: [Emc-users] [Emc-developers] Off topic question - Need help with remote cell phone data connection via site to site VPN

I don't know if this will help, but I recently started to take advantage of the cellular data plan that I'd been buying from T-Mobile for well over a year. The local monopoly cable company, Time Warner, was terrible. Like all monopolies, a bad product and worse customer service. I'd call

Re: [Emc-users] [Emc-developers] Off topic question - Need help with remote cell phone data connection via site to site VPN

Dave, I am guessing it makes things simpler. Wherever you go, whatever the device, no matter how many devices (depending on the service plan, of course,) you just connect to the cloud service and go. Just remember that the VPN service sees the unencrypted data and Google analyzes everything. Not
