You may have noticed that HC was unreachable for a few hours. This was likely caused by planned maintenance by the ISP, but my existing router doesn’t recover very well from these events and this happened while I was sleeping.
The good news is this router is being replaced later today anyway, ironically enough, with a 16 core monster. This also means there will have to be another outage at some point, but I will announce this one and things will settle down after that.
Anyway this happens very rarely (I hope I don’t jinx it lol), but don’t panic when it does, it’s only temporary and HC is coming back.
Yeah for sure, I’ve been buried in videos, wikis and forums.
Yes it’s not user friendly but pretty powerful as you say, I think I’ve gotten the hang of it now though, at least everything seems to be working as intended.
I was relaxing at the end of the day when I set this up, when I suddenly realized that HC wasn’t able to reach my mail server (hence my test replies below while I was troubleshooting). It’s like every router/firewall handles accessing a local server through the domain/public IP slightly differently, it’s weird.
