Deleted Facebook

From a lot of Facebook to No Facebook

At the beginning of this year, I removed my Facebook profile. Here’s what drove that decision.

Social Life

Using the FB apps was a daily routine in my life. I checked it getting out of bed, while eating breakfast, while driving to work, during work, while watching TV and before going to sleep.

I was always online. Sometimes I closed the app on my phone, only to reopen it two seconds later — it became a natural reaction, a process that you can call addiction.

How to connect an iPhone to Fortigate firewall for tunneling

This article provides a sample IPSec VPN configuration for use with iPhone and iPad. I’ve tested the following on a Fortigate 60C with FortiOS v4.0 MR3 Patch 9  and v5.0,build3608 (GA Patch 7) but I think it will work even with previous firmware versions.

This is the only way to connect an iPhone or an iPad with a Tunnel VPN, because the FortiClient APP  only supports Web Bookmarks.

Let’s go!

Travel router with automatic IPVanish VPN connection

GL-iNet AR150 Travel Router

Recently is bought a little mini router/firewall/accesspoint (Travel Router) on dealextreme.com. I was looking for a simular device as the TP-Link WR703N, wich I already own.

I found this little device called the GL.Inet GL-AR150. The device has 2 ethernet ports, WAN and LAN (both PoE) and there is a Atheros 9331 (same as WiFi Pineapple Mark V) WiFi chipset on board. So I ordered and yesterday received it by mail. After updating the firmware to OpenWrt Designated Driver r48135 / LuCI (git-16.004.80366-03a8393 we can start!

OneDrive For Business/SharePoint Sites Trouble shooting

OneDrive For Business/SharePoint Sites Trouble shooting

Syncing problems with Office 365 SharePoint sites – sometimes they’re easy to resolve and sometimes they are very difficult, tedious and nearly impossible to resolve (unless you are very well acquainted with SharePoint-speak and have some pretty deep networking/IT/Microsoft knowledge). This is the story of how I resolved a tough (for me), syncing issue with O365 SharePoint sites.

Problem

The problem: client said some of their SharePoint sites would not finish syncing. They noticed their blue icons had the syncing notification going constantly and it would never finish. They tried using the repair OneDrive function. One user reported their SharePoint site names were changed to a generic (Site1…., Site2……) and so on. The other user did not get that, but it didn’t fix the problem either.
