Why would I or should I need to mess with any sort of custom reverse proxy?
Lets see, what kits have I setup that didn’t require an internet connection? pfsense, OPNsense, Palo Alto, Sophos, OpenWRT, MikroTik… I guess I could go on, but why.
The first several times I worked through the setup stability was a major issue. I will not go into great detail here, but I will say this. If you pay attention you will see what I mean.
Alta Pass is great and I said that, but where is WPA3? Oh, that’s right. It’s not there or at least you can’t use it yet with Alta Pass.
You might not think what I had to say is fair, but it is a matter of fact. If you unplug your WAN connection from the Route10 you will see exactly what I mean (if you are using Alta’s Control locally). Alta Labs Control unit does not hold all of the software it needs to complete its tasks. I don’t doubt that the hardware is solid, it’s more the software is what is lacking.
And it is very relevant.
I hope that Alta Labs succeeds and this platform becomes second to none, but in its current configuration it is seriously lacking. Will I still use it and experiment with it? Of course, why not.
