  1. Let me try and understand your connection stream here. You have a True Docsis modem <<---- connected to an Tomato E2500 <------ connected to another E2500 ????

    First thing I would do I make sure your Tomato E2500 was able to connect and get internet from the True Docsis alone WITHOUT the VPN. Simplify first, then add complexity. Once this is achieved, turn on the VPN without adding the 2nd E2500 (if there's a 2nd one).

  2. You need to update you knowledge base, tablets are in fact on the decline.

    Tablet GROWTH has stalled. Apple is still selling 50 million iPads a year. How many PCs per year is are top PC vendors selling (Dell, HP)?

    Quite frankly I have moved about 90% of my work to the iPad. I work with databases, spreadsheets, email, and online, meetings mostly. iPad can handle it all. Especially now with the split screen multi-tasking.

    Granted many things I can still do *faster* on a Mac or PC.....but I *enjoy*'doing it on the iPad more. Just something about the OS and touch interface. It's delightful.

  3. Be careful you're not getting confused with being a VPN client or a VPN host. Most of those switches in routers are for setting your router up as a VPN HOST. This way you can take your computer outside to some network and VPN back to your home and home server.

    Generally if you want to be a VPN client (connect to a VPN FROM your home to the outside, you don't need to make any configuration changes in the router if you're using VPN client software on your device/computer.

  4. Actually it's one of the most secure o/s available. Jailbreaks I believe only work if a devices is already unlocked and the password know. So yeah.... No device or computer is safe if already in with full access. Duh!

    There are always bugs and exploits in software. They keep working to improve them and fix them. The new iPhones with the secure enclave are vastly different and more secure than that old 5c was (the San Bernadino phone).

  5. Planned obsolescence at its finest, force updates that "fix" bugs but slow the device down, well before its normal lifespan is over, cant get a much better business model.

    1. Updates aren't forced. They must be accepted.

    2. You could have an Android and rarely get updates. That way all the old discovered security exploits, bugs, etc stay with you forever. Hackers and criminals LOVE Android users.
