I would also like to add, where you’ve come to know about NethServer. This will let us know where we are doing better in spreading the word and, perhaps, make it better.

I’m a mechanical engineer that moonlights as the reluctant IT person for me and my wife’s small web design/application development company. I’m constantly trying to find the best infrastructure for our office that won’t break the bank nor make me want to pull out what little hair I have left.

A combination of trying to find the server for my small office along with the desire to familiarize myself with Linux distributions in general. Being a mechanical engineer that’s worked in the corporate world all my (very brief) career, I’ve been stuck using Windows. I’m ready to try something new. Also, I’m tired of my wife and her software engineer friends making fun of me for having no experience with Linux. I need some nerd cred!!

Yes, I’ve installed NethServer 6.8 on an old Compaq Presario desktop (no idea what type of Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, tiny HDD) and it’s running well. I’ve created a small LAN of 4 or 5 computers (mix of various Windows versions clients and a PeppermintOS client). Next step: I want to install Piler and use it to archive my emails from my mail server on a VPS.

Hello ! i’m a quiet man :slight_smile: Yep, i live in Gabrovo, Bulgaria.
Well i`m as3/java dev. with basic php,html,js knowledge, have interests in network/data security solutions also. I have 6.8 (local web server) and Beta 2 (local mail server + POP3 connector) behind Cyberoam NGFW, so many DNS Request are categorized as DoS attack and i decide to ask some help for that. I really like NethServer, my needs are not more than existing features for now.
Best Regards !

Thanks Beras for breaking the ice from Bulgaria :slight_smile:
how is beta going? What are your feelings? How can we improve it?

Do you mean that Cyberoam thinks that DNS request originating from NethServer are DoS attacks?
It may be related to the fact that the antispam software does a lot of DNS queries.
Do you have more details about Cyberoam?

Yes, i`m not sure - there is no reason why, i can see the log message only
(it was in firewall section). My playground is behind CR15ING appliance.
Best Regards !
