How to set Unifi DIR615 become VPN Server

unifiwish — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:26:20 +0800

Hi,

due to some reason, i need to access some website which is block by office firewall.

i know we can use 3rd party tool like ultrasurf / free VPN to bypass the blocking but i am worry about the 'free' tools

will done something on their server to track me.

Due to my house do not have computer ( i am using office notebook ), can we configure the Unifi DIR615 to become
a VPN / SSH Server and install the VPN / SSH client in my office notebook, so i can access the web site which was block by office firewall ?

i have read some news some time back, we can flash the DIR615 with DD-WRT, and there is an option for VPN / SSH, but i will lost the HyppTV.

Can i have the VPN/SSH and maintain the HyppTV ?

Thanks.

SSL (https) secure in public free wifi ?

unifiwish — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 11:51:44 +0800

Hi,

if i use public wifi ( eg Starbuck ) to access gmail ( https ), it is easy for hacker to sniffer and decrypt my connection ?

my notebook -> connect to starbuck wifi with no security -> logon to gmail.

we can easily use some sniffer to intercept network packet and analyse it but since the gmail is using https, can i say i am secure since the network packet is encrypted ? It is easy to decrypt network packet which encrypt by SSL certificate ?

and, i am using WPA2-PSK security for my home wifi, and the encryption type is AES. If i am using my home wifi to access gmail, is that means my network packet is secure by double encryption ( 1 is from AES, another 1 is from SSL ) ?

if some one need to sniffer my message, he will need to

1) break the WPA2-PSK security ( which is guess my password )
2) then decrypt AES
3) then decrypt SSL

am i right ? and can i say that it is possible but it is very difficult unless some one got a very high hacking skill can do this ?

high rise building now using fiber ?

unifiwish — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:33:55 +0800

Previously, Unifi

high rise apartment uses VDSL2 but it's connected to Fiber from the exchange box in the apartment onwards for HSBB.

Now, directly fiber to the unit ???

i am not sure this will apply to all, but recently this happend to me:

my boss stay at condo and recently he is apply unifi and according to him, the fiber is pull into his unit. i am not sure he got pay extra or not.

and my company need to move to a new office in Bukit Tinggi klang, the unifi service only up to 9 floor, above 9 floor
that is no services. yesterday, the account manager from TM has calling me and told me the unify service can be done on 10 floor onward, and i have double confirm with her is, the fiber is directly pull into my server room located at 10 floor with no extra costs.

does any one have the same with me ?

50" above, No need 3D, pls suggest !

unifiwish — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:41:30 +0800

hi, currently i am looking for a LCD / LED TV which got Internet function ( smart TV ), the size need to be above 50" and support 1080p, any recommendation ? my budget is less than 10K.

1) Distance from my sofa to the TV currently is around 15 feet, is that 50" above is too large for this distance ?

2) Notice that the latest LCD / LED TV can plug in network cable in order to enjoy the smart TV feature, may i know the network port is 100mb or 1 gigabit ?

3) any good place to recommend to buy ? and also what is the best price ?

i don't need the TV got 3D feature due to feel not comfortable to wear glasses to watch TV. and hopefully the TV support DLNA because i have download a lot of movie into hard disk and would like this TV to play.

thanks in advance.

DIR-615 Qos engine only for games ? how about http

unifiwish — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:06:38 +0800

Hi,

i am using VIP5 and the DIR-615 from TMNet. I have try out the router Qos and found out this engine only use to priority the games only. how to i set the priority on below:

Top priority = web browsing
second priority = skype
thrid priority = pps stream
lowest priority = torrent download

i have 1 desktop computer and 1 notebook and all connected using wireless. i use my computer for torrent and my wife using the notebook to browse internet ( like facebook, pps stream and skype ). Notice that once i on the torrent, all the bandwidth are fully use by this and the web browsing become very slow and most of the time 'page not found'. i don't want to set the limit of the torrent download because if my wife is not using internet, the torrent should fully utilise the bandwidth.

i am not sure the DIR-615 can do this or not ? or, can you recommended any router can do above job and also what is the price ?

thanks.

5mbps VS 5MBps - 500MB from 13minute to 1minute

unifiwish — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 15:12:24 +0800

Hi, my fren told me below, is this correct ?

if i need to download a 500MB movie file, it will required below time

5 mbps
=======
5 mbps = 0.625 MBps

500MB / 0.625 MBps = 800 second
800 second / 60 = 13 minute

5 MBps
=======
500MB = 100 second
100 second / 60 = 1 minute

assume the line is stable and we can get the max speed. unfortunately, our current ISP all is under the group mbps ( not the capital MBps )..

Notebook direct plug network to BTU is not working

unifiwish — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 11:55:08 +0800

Hi,

i have try to plug the network cable from my notebook into BTU, but not able to go online.

if i plug the network to Dir-615, it work as normal.

for what i understand, since the Dir-615 is connect to BTU, any computer which plug in to the port of dir-615 or BTU should able to take to each other ? in other word, it is in the same LAN, look like my understand is wrong.

can some one let me know what is wrong ?

thanks.

Reuse STB bandwidth + Firmware change to PPSstream

unifiwish — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:10:51 +0800

hi,

i have install the VIP 5 package few week ago and so far quite happy with the 'light' speed

the only thing which i need to complain is the STB, most of the channel is sucks and no good. look like this STB is useless to me.
i have a thinking which would like to go for 'lelong' it out

before i leleong it, would like to check on below 2 thing :

1) my fren told me the TM is giving separate additional 8MB for the STB for the Video, is this true ? if yes, can we utilise this 8MB into our normal subscription ? which means 5MB ( VIP5 bandwidth ) + 8MB STB bandwidth ? it is possible ?

2) since the STB is running linux, can we hack into it and change the auto load program to PPSStream ( pps got a version for linux ), so we can turn the STB into 'PPSStream box' ? it is possible ?

above is just my dream, hope all of you don't mine

Thanks.
