  1. that would be a very useful tool!
  2. same here it took weeks to troubleshoot voip issues and i also had to provide them with 1000s of IP's just to enable a simple sign in app to work as their firewall doesn't allow URL-Port control only IP-Port control
  3. Hi John is there any update regarding your meeting with Atomwide ? in particular the firewall issues and the lack of not being able to selectively white list certain you tube videos for educational use?
  4. thank you John, please also consider the firewall situation as this is an absolute major one, I've re-pasted my points below from my previous reply lack of direct control over the firewall - this is causing major problems as it purely relies on a painfully inefficient process to get anything allowed through, had to send them hundreds of IP's the other day just to allow AWS-RDSthrough, also over the weekend i couldn't do anything not able to allow a specific youtube video that is blocked on restricted mode, to do that i have to change the whole category of youtube filtering! lack of remote support tools, again they make the process so painful and over-complicated web screen - might as well use windows NT as even that seems more user friendly automatically blocking Meraki! again I have to send a list of IP's and go through the process
  5. i had the same problem, in the end i had to use a combination of wireshark to look at the traffic directly and to also get an updated list of IP's and ports to whitelsit - its a painful process especially when we have no control over the firewall
  6. was your primary reason for leaving financial ? or was there other issues you had ?
  7. its shocking how cheap they are! I dont know why LGFL sells them for alot more ??? https://www.microcosm.co.uk/order/product.php?ProductID=346&_ga=2.32470846.1632645635.1540109528-1150672160.1540109528
  8. the problems i have below lack of direct control over the firewall - this is causing major problems as it purely relies on a painfully inefficient process to get anything allowed through, had to send them hundreds of IP's the other day just to allow AWS-RDS through, also over the weekend i couldn't do anything not able to allow a specific youtube video that is blocked on restricted mode, to do that i have to change the whole category of youtube filtering! lack of remote support tools, again they make the process so painful and over-complicated web screen - might as well use windows NT as even that seems more user friendly automatically blocking Meraki! again I have to send a list of IP's and go through the process we pay 8k but we will likely end up paying more in total as now I'm forced to consider getting our own firewall as this isn't sustainable or manageable, none of the points above their support can do anything about, probably suggest reading more instructions or use a new product etc we are still on contract for another 4 years - unfortunately
  9. we are paying £8k inc vat a year for a 100mb connection on a 5 year contract - we use the connection and sophos AV, web filtering, why do i feel this is abit much ? and i cant event edit the firewall settings..... does anyone know how much Virgin Media actually charge for a 100MB leased line ?
