you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.

MS’s built-in security platform is top tier also. Some companies like alternative products.

That guy sucks.

What I really hate is when I search for a problem I’ve seen off and on for a few years and the search results is exactly the issue im experiencing.

Great!

Only to find out after chasing that link that it was me who posted that question, 4 years ago, and it’s still unanswered.

DNS doesn’t propagate fast enough.

Just like ipv4 though, you wouldn’t use external addresses internally because your external IPs might change, such as when moving between ISPs. You would NAT a hosts external address to its internal address.

What translates the public ip to the internal ip? Aren’t they different?

If you use a single shared public ip then you’re using some amount of address translation.

If you’re using an external ip address that’s different than an internal ip address but both are assigned to a single host the you’re doing 1:1 NAT.

At least that’s how I understand ipv4 and I don’t think ipv6 is much different.

Yes but you’d still be performing NAT. It’s at least 1:1.

You’ll need to deal with firewall rules regardless, and drop IPs into policies. IPv6 doesn’t remove any of those chores but gets rid of having to maintain tables to deal with many-to-one NAT.

So you don’t need to change your network if your isp changes.

When apps have code obfuscation in use, injects into dlls, and has detection for when running in a vm when it has no business doing any of these things then yes I think I can complain to the devs about it.

As a sysadmin I have so many devs asking me to set up antivirus exceptions for their apps, disable UAC, run the service as full admin, etc

Hell no. Submit your shit to virus total and learn how to program.

They definitely don’t go through the same amount of QA as other apps.

My Roku tv has an app that streams from network shares and my Synology NAS.

This is funny to programmers but it’s dumb to network admins.

Windows 11, and windows 10 with powertoys installed, support window snap areas. You can easily snap a window to the middle.

After using it for a year it’s impossible to work a wide monitor without it.
