wireless built in to the Pi 3 doesn't have a good antenna, a major design flaw IMHO. Concerning the two hour timeout, that is the lease time for dhcp leases. There should be a brief disruption as your lease is renewed and your ip address changes, but not a long one. Should I increase the leas

2019-03-13 Thread Michael Christopher Robinson
I read about it online on a squid wiki, it is evidently illegal to deploy sslbump in some countries, at least if you are a business. How would it be unethical to filter a home network that children use? I call that being a parent. Anyways, sslbump looks technically quite complicated. Maybe us

One thing missing is an administrative override feature. E2guardian makes a best estimate about a URL's content and either fails to block something it should block or it blocks a URL it shouldn't block. One solution to the block when you shouldn't problem is to add the site to the exceptionsiteli
