yep. :) I am going to have to setup a DMZ on my personal router pointed to a specific machine. there I will have to setup the web server, a site (which I will need to register) and a few other goodies. nice thing about my router, I can assign separate subnet segments to each port. this way, if anyone gets control of the web server, about all they can see is that subnet (and the administrative interface for the router will definitely be locked out on that port, so no control there either).
my only questiild, IT support Dept. on, what to use as a web server (I am also looking at putting an SDR on there for remote hf/vhf/uhf/shf reception). I was thinking a raspberry pie late generation. -eric from the central offices of the Technomage Gu On Nov 19, 2017, at 5:48 PM, Stephen Partington wrote: > I got in when they were around 2 tb.
