Meraki and Firewall rules

@dafyre Apparently it does, as disabling the Scanning of inbound POP3, IMAP4 connections allows UltraVNC to connect from within Meraki.

How do you like the Meraki devices?

I have a free one from them I've been wanting to install at home to play with, but have not done so yet.

I helped a client setup a Meraki Firewall. Once you get used to the way they do a couple of things, they're actually pretty good.

It seemed like a great idea.

We don't actually use their AP, we did for testing for a long time, and it is a good unit.

Just not good enough to pay for it forever.

@DustinB3403 WTF.... UltraVNC doesn't even run on anything close to SMTP / IMAP, does it?

Meraki fail.

It definitely does not. That's a broken Meraki issue.

They were nice before Ubiquiti came along. And before Cisco bought them.

Once you get used to the ways that they don't work like breaking VNC thinking that it is email.

@scottalanmiller Ha ha ha. We didn't have that problem. This was only for their firewall. They've got APs on the way.
