My normal desktop PC was always on - doing some tasks in the background - but the noisy fan was annoying me. And because I had a spare ALIX 2D13 lying around that was doing nothing but gathering dust, I was wondering if I could switch some tasks from my normal PC to this ALIX 2D13 and only switch my normal PC on when needed.

My firewall is a ALIX2D13 with pfsense. And, shame on me, I was still running pfsense 2.1.5. I don’t have to work today, so, time to upgrade.

Due to personal reasons, it has been a long time since I’ve done something with electronics. Time to start again and have some fun :)

I was looking for a way to setup a VPN between my android-device and my home network which is connected to the internet by pfSense (on a ALIX2D13).

A few days ago I noticed that mails send to my sister and brother got lost in cyberspace :(
