I am interested in talking to people who have Satellite internet. I live in a remote area, This became the only way. I went with TooWay Direct. The company have been brilliant so far.

Although I cant seem to Port Forward anything at the minute. I am going to contact the support tomorrow because I have tried it with RDP and FTP. Not sure if they block those ports or whatever. Its a bit of a bummer if they do, Any suggestions if they do? I am thinking Team Viewer to connect back to home when I am at work.

I know the latency is high on Satellite connections thats just what it is and shouldn't cause me too many issues. But so far I am impressed with the speeds. I am getting 18 - 19 Mbits rather than crappy ADSL barely 1Mbps.

You sure your just not natted - what is your routers wan/internet IP? I thought many sat companies don't allow any forwards because they are natted?

Are you on the tooway business or home setup - I thought with business you got public, but home private?

http://www.bentley-w...ay_business.php

Notice the pubic IP listing in the package. But in home - nothing mentioned

http://www.bentley-w...tooway_home.php

Yeah it looks like there is some Natting going on, I have an external IP of 130.xx.xx.xx and the modem has a management IP of 192.168.100.1 I have it connected to the Untrust Port on a Juniper which Nat's to a local subnet of 192.168.1.xx Maybe If I changed the subnet to 192.168.100.xx then I could get away with it.

I think your right, On the pro you get some public IP's I am on the home. I might get them to change it.

many modems use that 192.168.100.1 address as management, my cable modem does for example. But 130.x.x.x is not private - if that your external you should be good to go.

Send yourself some traffic using say canyouseeme.org and do you see it on the external interfrace of your juniper?

Where are you seeing that 130 address? On the juni itself or using some website like whatsmyip ? If you have 130 on the juni itself doesn't seem like your behind a ISP nat, atleast not one using non routable private IPs

Yeah the 130 address is registered to the ISP, I get that. I think there is some kind of ISP trickery going on here because I have a rule for RDP and I have checked it with Canyouseeme and it comes back with Connection timed out.

I will see what their support have to say. It might be a case of I have to switch to Pro to get an external IP and then map it directly to my server.

"Yeah the 130 address is registered to the ISP"

What?? No is the 130.x.x.x on your JUNI? your juni is set to get dhcp address on this interface? Where are you seeing that your address starts with 130?

"Yeah the 130 address is registered to the ISP"

What?? No is the 130.x.x.x on your JUNI? your juni is set to get dhcp address on this interface? Where are you seeing that your address starts with 130?

The Untrust Interface is set to DHCP Client, Thats where it gets the 130.xx address i.e the Public Internet Address. Thats why I cant understand why my port forwarding wont work. Everything else works fine apart from my port forwarding.

It is possible that they are port blocking even on a Public IP.

Try on a non-standard port.

With the Untrusted port coming out the ISP supplied Juniper modem, is that going directly into your PC on on your own router?

Maybe it is an issue with your own router if you are using it? Try DMZ for testing purposes (with your Windows Firewall enabled) to see if it's your router doing it?

Maybe look at other solutions that don't need port forwards depending on what you are trying to do... VPS, VPN, LogMeIn, etc.

How are you checking that the port forward is not working? I would actually sniff at the pubic interface of the juni that has the 130 address - and generate traffic there via canyouseeme.org to some odd ports -- do you see the traffic? If not then yeah the isp is blocking unsolicited traffic to your public IP

If your wanting to see the traffic past the juni, maybe either your forward is not correct or ip your sending it to is blocking, etc. Sniff the traffic at your public interface to be sure they are not allowing the traffic to you.

Yeah I got some people on the outside to test it and then I checked the logs on the rule I created and I just see nothing, No connection attempts been made at all. I have E-Mailed the support asking them about it. I have a funny suspicion this is not allowed on Home but is on Pro or at least on Pro you get some Public (Static) IP's that I could use however I saw fit. I do know that HTTP traffic is passed through a kind of upstream proxy that strips out headers and other useless information and does some fancy compression or something so Webpages are delivered quicker. I suspect that other traffic is filtered too.

checking logs on a rule does not always tell you the whole picture.

I would do a ff (flow filter) and look for the dst IP (yours) to the port they are creating traffic to.

But from the website I don't think home connections can do inbound unsolicited traffic -- update to pro package if you need inbound.

no what juni do you have? You should be able to do a flow filter on it and see the actual traffic on the interface. Possible traffic is not reaching your rule that your logging which is why you don't see anything in that rules logs.

Do you have a specific deny rule added for logging - you could look there, but by default on junipers default deny is not logged.

Yeah I know you have to turn Logging on hehe :-p Not familiar with Flow Filer. Will look at this.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each.
