Hello Gophers!

My beloved FritzBox 5490 died yesterday, so I had to change our home setup to
use the ISP's modem which was delivered with the fiber connection when we
changed over. At first I was weary of this, as this Zyxel thing did not seem
to be able to have Port Forwarding. That would have meant that I would not be
able to run this Gopher server at home anymore. Turns out after some searching
that the thing can do port forwarding anyhow, so this has saved the Gopher
thing. 

The only thing that is not on the unit is the possibility to run as VPN server
so I could log in from outside to my home network. That is a pity as that has
been very useful over the years. Now I will have to look at running a VPN
on a Raspberry Pi or such to get me my functionality back.

I loved using the Fritzbox, but alas it's dead now... Let's see how this new
Zyxel unit holds up. I hope it is longterm stable, like the Fritzbox was.

Have a nice day!


Cheers,

Fripster
