Bohack

A while ago bothered by the heat and noise in my office, I decided to replace the Cisco 2600 router with a Linksys business class firewall/router. The RVS4000 was the perfect choice it has a stateful firewall, Intrusion Prevention System, Gigabit Speed and it was free. So I installed the brand new firewall and soon found out that I couldn’t FTP, it seems this was a common issue with the RVS4000. The Pakistani technician at Linksys said that, I shouldn’t need to FTP since the device doesn’t have a FTP server built in. After I had enough of Linksys’s crappy products and their shitty Paki support, I had an epiphany! I have a computer always running in the office to serve out movies and music for the house, why not make it a router as well? (more…)
