The odd-musings of Jared, the Director of Network Security for IAPS Security Services.

Hi Folks,

My sincere apologies for not updating the blog days ago. So many new projects are in the works that I’m not finding enough time in the day to get everything done that I’d like to. I wanted to let you folks know I’m creating our first ever Screencast Video Tutorial Library thats designed to be both informative, educational, and will get you setup in the fastest time possible. The library is quite small at this time but over the coming weeks quite a few new videos will be released and we’ll constantly be expanding this library as issues are brought to us or we receive specific requests for how-to videos. This video series will not only focus on the services that we offer, but will provide an informative insight into various ways that you can keep your own pc running at maximum performance. We will also address issues such as what affects bandwidth, how to determine what spyware is and how to get rid of it, why we can live without browser toolbars and how it dramatically affects our pc performance, how certain firewall and anti-virus software companies do us more harm than good, why we should stay away from software that claims to “clean your registry”, and how to identify scam emails.

These are just some of the ideas that we have at this time. We are completely open to video suggestions from our clients and members of the public. Due dilligence and credit for this video library idea goes to an IAPS client that I’ve spoken to at length and he provided his thoughts and ideas that formed the basis of this idea. I have not obtained his permission to call him by his name in this blog posting so I’ll hold that back for now, but you know who you are and I know you’ll be reading this post shortly after its published.

All server maintenance periods are over at this time. If you have any account issues or would like more information about the new SSTP VPN service, please drop us a line and let us know. The public videos mentioned above can only provide a broad insight into what we’re doing, but we are working on very specific videos for our actual clients that will show you how to perform each setup yourself with relative ease and its presented in the most non-technical way that we can present it. In future videos we will delve into how each vpn service (PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, & SSTP) actually works and what its doing that you can’t see. Each process will be fully explained. We feel its imperative that each and everyone of you knows exactly how our services work and how they provide their services to you. I haven’t seen very many videos that depict how these services really work, so we’re planning on breaking it down and showing you all each process. It is our hopes that the more knowledge you have, the better you apply it. Comments & questions on this blog posting can be sent to our contact form here.
