      Ok I'll give you the server experience one. One day you will have too much Windows Servers to play with and you wont want to use DHCP at home lol

      Why wouldn't you want to use DHCP at home? I can't see every getting away from DHCP in a home environment.

      Most home routers hand out DHCP addresses so having a Windows Server isn't necessary

        Yes I understand that, and now with cloud based services to backup and sync things, short of wanting/needing a home lab environment it's probably not worth having a home lab any more.

        Heck it might be cheaper to rent cycles from azure or some other service to do your lab stuff.

          I don't think so. I use my ESXi server for dev and prod. I like it because it's how I've done it for a couple years now. I know it's overkill. I just like it this way.

              I'm sorry. A question was asked of me, so I answered. A mini-discussion spawned. What is your problem with me today?

                We use Pertino everywhere. That is desktops, laptops, all servers both on prem VMs and cloud. We use it on Windows, Mac and Linux.

                  but what do you use it for? simple connectivity? file sharing? running "local" business line applications from the field?

                    Wouldn't the answer be, all of the above?

                      @Hubtech all of the above for sure. How do you use a LAN? All the same ways.

                        To bad they don't support AS400 and printers - then I could make life a bit more simple for one of my clients.B ut in reality, they'd never switch. It wouldn't be worth the monthly cost for them when traditional VPN solution is working just fine for them.

                        For those wondering, the printing from the AS400 is solved by running a Print Session through Client Access on the local machine, which is able to use the locally running VPN client. - I assuming that Pertino would be able to provide the same kind of access there as well.

                          Printers will not be anytime soon. No one supports that without a gateway.

                            Do you use it on all PCs, just servers, or select servers?

                            I'm currently using some of my personal plan connections to run a small mini lab in Virtualbox that sits behind a virtualized instance of pfSense, on a system I use at work. Works great.

                              Really great for extending home labs.
