Supercharge your mRemoteNG

09:19 Posted by Jurgens Krause , , , , , 2 comments

If you are anything like me you have at least 50 different computers that you need to manage remotely. If you use Putty for ssh, WinSCP for file copies, VNC for desktop access and Microsoft RDP for managing Windows machines, you will know how hard it can be to keep all your logins organized.

mRemoteNG is a fully featured, tabbed, remote access manager. It seamlessly integrates with RDP, Putty, VNC and even has an integrated web browser built in.

What makes mRemoteNG even more useful is it's ability to integrate external tools. Now, for you these may be differ from the ones I find useful, but I will list my favourites as examples.

Asterisk - Outbound Whitelisting

16:07 Posted by Jurgens Krause , 4 comments
There are numerous ways to handle outbound whitelisting on asterisk, but I needed a solution where the end user could simply ftp a text file to the server to update the whitelist.

Setting up a Mikrotik Hotspot with UserManager (Step-By-Step)

15:14 Posted by Jurgens Krause , , , 133 comments
Mikrotik RouterOS provides a very powerful Hotspot Feature. This can be used with the Mikrotik built in Radius server (Userman) or with a remote Radius/Freeradius Server.

You will need:

Mikrotik RouterBOARD:

  • Level 4 or better licence (Lower licences will allow only a single Hotspot client)
  • RouterOS 6.x (5.x will also work, but this tutorial is based on v6.7)
The network will be configured as below. You may need to adjust the IP Addresses to suit your needs

Mikrotik Hotspot Network




Notes:
The RouterBOARD CPU and RAM will directly affect the performance of your Hotspot, so consider beforehand how many clients you wish to connect.
A RouterBOARD 750 can comfortably run about 25-50 users.
In my example I will use a RouterBOARD 532 with one 2.4ghz WLAN card
