    Site ads making site unusable on mobile Safari

    Between the ads and the screenshots of ads this thread is pretty much unreadable. But yes chrome on mobile has become riddled with ads lately. It used to be just a banner or two and a full screen ad when you clicked to navigate between threads but now it's just all ads.

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    DHCP or static?

    What happens if you're using static ip's and your router goes belly up and your new one is a different subnet? There's any number of what ifs but you can't account for all of them so use a configuration that is easily managed and suitable for what you have now, not what you might have in the...
