I actually emailed their support asking about the lifetime licensing, and they did mention they calculate/ limit the lifetime licenses to be sustainable. I hope they are able to succeed and be around for a while with their price modeling. Maybe lifetime won’t be for sale for much longer

Oh interesting, was there a Q&A or something or just speculation?

I’ve noticed this too. I have to open the app for sync to start happening. I raised this concern to their customer support and they quickly responded saying they’ll pass it to the dev team. Fingers crossed they add a fix soon.

Right. Most of my VLANs are set up that way; they’re silos. The VLAN that this is running on is the “management” VLAN that can see the other ones

I read through their EULA the other day, and it seems everything is E2EE so only the recipients can see the data, but they do have access to some stuff such as last login, usernames, etc.

I have a few friends using it, and it’s nice once you get it going, but adding/ finding friends is a bit of a headache in my experience

I recently found out about Circles and was hoping to migrate friends and family to it, but it’s just too much of a learning curve to get things set up.

Updated with the forum posts

Gotcha, thanks so much for the clarification!

Oh interesting, I’ll check it out. I’m hosting my own server and I’m the only user on it, so it’s been pretty snappy :P

Switched to Matrix pretty recently, and it’s been surprisingly nice to use

Ah, sorry about that. The plans vary from ~150-300 per paycheck. I’ll have to check the details a bit more.

Thank you for your response, and I hope you and your family stay healthy. I have similar concerns for things that might pop up, but luckily everyone is generally pretty healthy. Last year we had to take a quick trip to urgent care and my copay was $450. It was a surprising amount, because previously I had never paid more than $75 for a visit. I was able to use my HSA for it, but man…if something more serious happened I could see that getting really expensive fairly quickly.

Good point, I hadn’t considered rolling over. I’d like to get away from Kaiser, but my HDHP option with Anthem is 20% after the deductible. So I guess it will with be PPO or stick with Kaiser -_-

Edited the OP with a overview of the plans. Thank you for the reply!

Hm, currently I have PFsense and my other network equipment on it’s own “management” VLAN, and I don’t allow my other VLANs access to it (except for a couple devices I whitelist). None of those can reach PFsense via the LAN IP as I expect, only by the WAN IP.

Thank you, that was the first thing I checked after having a near heart attack, haha. I thought the whole world could see my login for a second there.

Gotcha, thanks so much (to you and the others who mentioned this as well). This has been driving me crazy the last couple hours, as I can connect to any of my VLANs (some which I treat as fairly insecure) and they can all hit my firewall if I use the WAN IP.

I checked Pfsense, and I have NAT Reflection disabled everywhere I found it (System>>Advanced>>Firewall & NAT as well as in my individual NAT rules), however I can still access via the WAN IP.

So I guess all I can really do is set a rule to forward to port 80/443 to something else to avoid this, right? I was thinking of hosting a Matrix chat server which would use those ports, so maybe that’s the play.

Hm, my only NAT rule is to allow traffic to my game server on specific ports. Is there somewhere else that could be set? EDIT: I think you’re right.

Had used OpenWRT for years until recently, great to hear the project is going strong.
