How are you guys receiving offline notifications? I can't find any good free services that send instant notifications when the rig goes offline.. SMS would be the best
I got the opensshd server/client setup last night and woke up this morning reading my event viewer and it was being blown up by a Chinese IP address for exceeding unauthorized attempts lol
Im headed to Best Buy now to purchase a wifi outlet, they are expensive there but I guess it's the same as if I did next day air

If you want to open the ssh port on your router, for security you should change the default port, disable password authentication in the sshd_config file and create an AllowUsers with only public key authentication.

I was not using them with more than 1KW PSU and I had problems only with adapters to EU socket they supply. Buy local adapters.

Then I bypass the internal 15Amp fuse and rely on the 20A GFCI house breaker. I run 2 rigs with 1300 watt PSUs and supplemental fans as needed on the other outlets.

I use teamviewer for remote access, is there anyway to unfreeze by forcing a powerdown on the computer?? My computer was just showing as offline but it still powered on but the computer was frozen/inaccessible.. Is there any creative ideas on how to power off a computer when frozen? My mobo is set to automatically power on after a power-loss.
I use the TP Link HS 110, it just works.

Search for USB PC Watchdog and find a good one.
Thanks a lot for the advice, urgently need one.
You can try OpenSSH for Windows. That will usually let you connect from a remote command prompt when the rig is frozen. Type 'shutdown /s /t 0' to shutdown right away or 'shutdown /r /t 0' to reboot.

well, will it work if the pc is locked up?
well, if you took a minute and actually googled it then you would know.
I did google it. A simple yes or no would have answered. Nevermind, don't answer if you are going to be this rude. Bye.
<3 yes, it looks like thats actually what its built for and its relatively cheap. I just feel like the wifi wall unit will work easier as my board is set to power-on automatically after power-loss
If you use the wifi plug you will want to keep power under 1000 watts
The one I found was 1800 watts
I owned them. And it you do over 1100 watts 24/7/365 it can melt. Or yellow.
If you use. More then 1300 after 90 days it will show yellowing and some melt.
They run better at 700 to 950 watts.
Have you been able to get these in store anywhere or did you get them online? Need to find one tomorrow
Newegg sent it to me for a review
