Re: [WISPA] SonicWall Proxy-ARP
My experience was only with their bottom of the line content filter, but would you believe it didn't filter web proxies, the first think a kiddie is going to go to to get past the SonicWall. I contacted the company a number of times and their only response was upgrade your filtering package to one that includes proxies. Even their basic box and package isn't cheap, spending more seemed ridiculous. I thought it was unreasonable for them to sell something they call a content filter which was so easily bypassed, but they wouldn't budge. So I started a thread on their forum asking if other users agreed and wanted to join a class action lawsuit. New firmware that would filter proxies at the basic package level was announced within days. Greg On Apr 14, 2011, at 10:00 AM, Brad Belton wrote: I could not agree MORE!

Re: [WISPA] Can 900MHz do this?
hi Greg, I see you have several other responses, hopefully you'll get a solution. I would just caution you about assuming it will / won't work in your situation, until you try it. (I realize you can't really try it without the equipment) I'll just give one example from a few years ago: I was trying to make a connection using Trango 900. No hills were involved. I had an AP mounted 80' up on a silo and a potential customer 1.25 miles away. It wasn't particularly dense trees, I had made other, longer connections that seemed much more difficult. I fiddled with things for several weeks and could never get a reliable connection there. (signal was ~ -90) -John On Apr 13, 2011, at 4:54 PM, Greg Ihnen wrote: I'm just curious what people's experience has been with 900MHz and hills. WISPA Wants You!

These are a combination of various coverage maps plus the zip codes listed by each WISP voluntarily in the WISP Directory site. If you have more zip codes you service you should log in to your account and add then to the directory. I get a zip code export from there when I do updates.
