Taking a break from the postfix stuff to refresh knowledge of NAT, and to learn how to configure NAT on an ASA 5505 (finally).
Wow, how much do I despise Cisco gear..... we had an ASA something here, paid a ton of $$$$$$$$$$ to "activate" it (subscription fee BS), then discovered that after many hours of attempted configuration, it wouldn't do something we totally needed it to do.... so we have a brick worth thousands of dollars (pay the shipping and it's yours, get this POS out of my building). I'd love to see Cisco crash and burn permanently, never to return. Even if "nobody ever got fired for buying Cisco", I sincerely hope that the ones who bought it got the severe beatings they deserve.
TL;DR - Cisco can suck every kind of *** that exists. My condolences to you for having one.

@RojoLoco I really don't understand how they get shortlisted so often. I'm sure that there are loads of times that they make sense to deploy, but I keep never finding it.

It's truly cathartic to see you post that. I'm not far from getting C-levels to sign off on letting me go "Office Space" on this damned Cisco garbage. I will have to try not to enjoy smashing it too much.

@RojoLoco I'm thankful for the networking knowledge I gained while doing my CCNA studies during my career change; however, as far as configuring / understanding-existing-configuration is concerned, this is a pain.

For a regular networking guy (as in, NOT cisco based certs), the ASA series is the stuff of nightmares. If/when I smash this thing on video, I'll be forced to stay out of the shot so my arousal won't be obvious... Seriously, I can't think of anything I'd rather destroy than that friggin' POS Cisco firewall.

Yes i also hate Cisco. the sub fees, the expense. The people that require it to connect to their networks (vzw, others). Everything about them is terrible compared to just about everything else in most situations.

ASA is the worst of it all.

I'm working in a very simple environment. One office network and one data center network connected via VPN, and we have ASAs and Dell Switches. If I've learned anything from this gig, it's "more than just Cisco stuff can provide good network services." Albeit, we had to replace a Dell Switch because of a botched firmware upgrade, but other than that, the switch switches just as well as my cisco lab switches.

This is a pretty cool project.
Just looked through at the electronics bits, can't watch it -
I'd make sure there's a fuse in there and a solid on/off switch but yeah it looks awesome!

Just got a call from Cradle Point... At 7:15 pm local time. Dude's voicemail just got an earful.
