Firewall replacement.
-
I'm going to be replacing the current router/firewall with an enterprise class one tomorrow. The physical swapover is going to take seconds, but the last time I did this it took upto 30 minutes for some upstream routers to realize the change on some of the VM's. Due to changes I've made that shouldn't happen this time.
I'll post a warning when I'm planning to do it, and again when it's done.
If one of my sites seems down - DON'T PANIC.
I've potentially left rules out of the firewalls, or made mistakes with them - if something appears down after I post that the site is back up, post here. Please check to see if anyone has reported it already. Sites will be checked/rectified in priority order.

Now that's a welcome investment to Burst networking.
-
Thank you always for kindly updating us..
-
@haitch The replacement firewall is going in in approx. 1 hour.
-
@haitch It's replaced, what did I break ?
-
@haitch So far site and pools working :)
-
More responsive for me Cheers!
-
@haitch Thanks for the upgrade. I think the payouts are stuck on .party pool. I added 10K in Burst but it still looks a little stuck. When you get a chance, can you take a look at that one please? Thanks haitch

Sorry for the inadvertent outage just now, discovered an unintended "feature", need to re-program around it, but shouldn't be any more outages.

@Bitdv the 449 port was closed as everything is reachable via the proxy - remove the :449 and try again.
-
@haitch Flash says thanks!! or Danka!! lol
-
@Bitdv No problem. While programming the replacement router I closed up all the ports that had been open as workarounds for other issues. For example you used to be able to get to the forums on non-https by using forums.burst-team.us:4567 - that no longer works, you have to use forums.burst-team.us which enforces the use of secure https.

@haitch Ok mate that cleared it up for me , thanks !!

@all Although the responsiveness of the sites seems better with the new router, the CPU utilization on the router concerns me, so .... I'm going to be looking at buying this routers MUCH bigger brother. So there will be another router replacement outage at a date yet to be confirmed, but the sites should be even more responsive, and security a whole lot higher.
