That makes sense.
But it does strike me it amounts to handing the customer a big block of public IPs and saying here, you manage your network. Which is actually where the responsibility belongs. But people (and businesses) don’t want responsibility anymore. They want to buy all this tech stuff and just plug it in and expect it to work automagically via apps and the cloud and to call their ISP when it doesn’t. And the device and software (excuse me, “app”) vendors are happy to tell them yes, call your ISP, or your “system administrator”, which people take to mean their ISP. It used to be every company had an IT department. Then they fired the IT department and outsourced it and they had a “computer guy”. So did home users. Now everything is DIY. Plus users understand their tech toys less than during the heyday of PCs. Just like nobody knows how to change a tire or check the oil on their cars anymore. Internet users, both business and residential, need a computer guy to call with these issues. But now I hesitate to tell people that, because computer guys (not being sexist, a computer gal would be just fine) seem to be a dying breed. Unless you include Geek Squad, which I’d rather not. Or the Indian people who call saying they’re calling from “Windows” and have noticed that your computer is infected and offer to fix it right now if you give them your credit card.

If it's an issue with one user/employee then it will only affect that one. If it's too many hits form one IP then it's no longer an issue. -Adam On 10/15/2018 8:58 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: IPv6 ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> _____ From: "Nate Burke" <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> To: "Animal Farm" <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 12, 2018 10:32:39 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Ebay Captcha One of my Customers does a lot of selling on Ebay (they currently have 30k+ items listed). Starting about 2 months ago, at random periods, between 1-10 days, Ebay starts sending them through a captcha at every page move. And not just 1 captcha, they have to enter a captcha 3 times every time they move between pages, and they have to change pages 3 times to complete an order. Changing their WAN ip address resolves the issue, until it happens again. Calling Ebay, Ebay will open a ticket, but nothing ever happens, after going through the usual Reboot your Computer, reboot your Router script. I'm guessing it has to do with the number of people in the office accessing the account from the single IP Address, but I can't figure out any pattern to when it happens. Has anyone had luck contacting the security department at Ebay? -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
