https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=83321.0 ideally shows how to connect a mac which uses l2tp over ipsec. No luck.
pfsense docs are here on this topic. Checking …
I did get the cisco ipSec working for an iPhone to connect to pfSense. See this article. I have done no testing to see what one can do – but it said you can connect. What I really wanted was LT2P over iPsec because this is the default for all the clients at my customers and they all have iPhones.
It is good to re-learn some basics. An advanced programming friend was so impressed by the 1st chapter of a book he went on and on about it. He is boning up on his python and I took a pic of the url. It is Learn Python the Hard Way book. The link isn’t working – not sure why – let me know if it is not working if you click on it.
Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers
So – again Learning AngularJS is an AWESOME BOOK (Kindle version has clickable links). This was my 2nd book – as I read another AngularJS book that was SUPER LONG and then I had downloaded another (to one to the right) which was quite cheap – and left it. Apparently this “cheap book” was the ticket to SUPER SUCCESS. Thanks for writing the book in his “here do this” and “this is why we did that” style. And his backup websites and fiddler examples – SOOO COOL to learn that way.
BUT – it worked when you went to “play” it in Visual Studio 2013, but when I went to publish it, as usual the wheels fell off the bus. Here is the last chapter of that book “Publishing this whole mess onto a real website”. Can all of the readers comment this so we can all make it better? I will contact the author and ask if he can plagiarize all this material (and I hope all your comments) this into his book as a new chapter. Maybe he will re-write it for Angular 2.0!?

Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers
So I had no intention to use Angular anywhere else at this time, but 2 new web app requests tipped my hand into “lets do this and do it Angular .net” since the underlying tech is in fact a windows program. Therefore, I went back to the book store and am reading Learning AngularJS for .NET Developers. Every sentance is important in this book so this is not a skimmer but he gets right to development, re-development etc. etc. until he has what I consider now to be the starting point of all my projects. i will use this model as my Angular Seed (a starting point for Angular Apps). I think I will need the tips below EVERY TIME I develop an app so I will write my steps down for you. I developed all the items I had with VS 2013 Express and am to the point where I think I will be buying VS 2013 Pro as the tools a few books suggest all require pro or above. It is $500CDN.
After much consultation with other web designers and investigating what technologies to use – I have come up with a final list. I will explain why I chose what I did as I go along.
First, the project is a data aggregation tool used to marry 2 worlds of how much time we have taken versus a budget of how much time is expected to be spent. It is much more complicated than my simple explanation (it is for an engineering company) but that is the gist of it. People will be logging in on a regular basis to update key numbers and over time, Continue reading
Steps
So recently I have been getting bandwidth warnings on two of my top reaching websites. Why? Well, it is because of WordPress plug ins. Not all are optimized and not all features are enabled on the websites that could make them optimal. So lets find out what can help. Continue reading
Well, in my last article where I discuss why I am trying out 2 new AP’s by Unifi, it was discovered that they are … I think perfect. I am going to let them soak for a while and see how iOS devices hand off when walking across the building. But for now, they are great to configure.
I had to do a little fiddling with the pfSense box and learn new stuff again, but it all seems to work. I think I love pfSense [UPDATE Fall 2015 – no I REALLY LOVE pfSense].
In short – how to get the Unifi boxes to work with the main and guest networks by using a VLAN and how to route that traffic. This is for a church where on Sundays – hundreds of people come – so we need lots of guest IP addresses. Here we go… Continue reading
So I have been on the hunt for a wifi system that would auto-transfer devices from one Access Point (AP) to another. Due to an issue that Apple has not fixed (and seemingly will not fix) is auto-transferring clients from one to another.
Is Unifi AP long-distance the answer? I will find out and post the results here once I have tried it out.
UPDATE: YES – BUY THESE. THEY ARE AWESOME (and why not a 3 pack!). They have guest Wifi (with ability to join a VLAN) and normal modes. They are easy to configure – real easy. See my next article to know how to use them with a pfSense router with a VLAN for a guest network.
[UPDATE Fall 2015: Important anti-frustration tips at bottom of my other article … I have installed 3 customers with these units and STILL love it … just follow those updates’ advise.] Continue reading
