Tell me how to port forward
I help out a small 2-person charity gig. - a couple of folk in their mid 80’s. I’ve got enough time to occasionally assist with a little remote troubleshooting - typically email doesn’t work, why does Vlc not open, and normally a reboot solves any issue, after which im praised and revered like some wizard.
Today I had an email (they’re all written in 24-point font as they are half blind) about wanting me to give them a cheat-sheet on how to open a couple of ports on their deco router at one of their houses so they can work together.
Literally that. No further detail, no anything, just an expectation that I can just tell them to click some magic button that will open a gateway to I don’t know what.
Just came to rant. Spent the day looking after a failing rds server and midway through a large scale Fortinet to meraki migration (don’t even get me started on that one!) to that email at the end of the day.
