Maybe you are not using the same Internet I am using?

Last night, the continuing issues with firewall licenses had me working with ech support on the problem from my house. I VPN over the Internet to my workstation at the office and made changes as needed.

I also mentioned to staff that I was working on the firewall, so staff was not alarmed when the Internet went down and didn’t come back… until this morning when I got a sort of casual ‘hey, you gonna turn that back on?’ message…

Well, how would I know their Internet connection was down – I was connected to the office via VPN OVER THE FREAKIN INTERNET… so obviously we CAN connect. Mayhap our firewall needs a name. It is potentially more devious than even ByTor, and clearly not using the same Internet I am using. And I can clearly cannot choose the wine in front of me.
