I found this FortiNet FortiGate 100D but I forgot the password. Or I never knew it. The pinhole just reboots the device, and I’ve never used a FortiGate appliance. I really want to get into the CLI and eventually the WebUI, but I need to factory reset this thing. Here’s Read more…
Today I had to decommission a Windows Server which was running a DHCP role. The client has a Meraki firewall and on the firewall is an option to import all the IP reservations from a formatted CSV: “That’s great!”, I thought. I can get all ~100 reserved IPs Read more…
This one is pretty easy, but some of the quirks of the “Synology way” may lead you to a failed OpenVPN attempt. Mainly after exporting the configuration, it’s not clear that you should have to modify it in any way before trying to use it. If you want to Read more…
