So I’ll start off by saying, configuring the WSA isn’t too terribly hard. What seems to be tricky, is getting all the components working together in a way that provides a seamless experience for users, while providing accurate reporting and filtering. In this two parter, I’m going to attempt to…

Using VXLAN to extend my home lab
So first off, I recently had a change of heart. While I still love Service Provider, I’m continually being pulled in for Security work. So, I’ve decided to stop resisting and follow the current. That said, CCIE Security (both v4 and v5) have some heavy demands. While my home server…

CCIE SPv4 Lab: Running it on my laptop (w/only 16GB of RAM)
BIG shot out to VMWare ESXi, because that finally did the trick. Currently, I’m visiting family for the holidays but I still want to be able to study when I can. I know that’s super nerdy, but if you’re reading this… you’re not much better than me. So stop judging.…

The way forward
Blog.. TRANSFORMATION TIME!! Thanks to my long-time, and very good friend Steve Occhiogrosso (found here at ccie-or-null.net) I think I finally have a way forward. Since I passed my lab, you know WAY back in April, I’ve been feeling a bit empty. Just dying to be working on something new…
