  • Does your VPN provider have the option to connect to a hostname vs IP-address?

    If not, depending on the router, you might be able to set up a backup tunnel to prevent this.

    My latest router rageout was when I was trying to set up a VLAN on my wireless AP for IoT. I did something and lost connection to my AP. I was able to get it reset, but I made the mistake of clearing the config which basically wiped the OS. Had to do an OTA OS reinstall, which was luckily an option.

    Still haven’t gotten VLANs working on a virtual AP yet. Running enterprise network hardware can be a bitch if it’s been over 15 since your CCNA training and your IT career didn’t involve networking work until recently (moved to cyber security)
