    Afrihost Gaming PPTP [alpha]

    So I've only discovered this thread now...(Mainly due to my internet running flawlessly for many months, thanks Afrihost) having not checked this forum. I've read through everything, but still not sure about where to connect to? I'm in Pta, and my usual pings to EU (Frankfurt mostly) sit at...

    Router Battery Backup

    Sorry for hijacking the comment, but I've been wanting to ask something about these 18650 cells. I have a Gizzu UPS for the router and ONT, and easily used to get through a 4 hour loadshedding session with both devices connected to the Gizzu. However now, it dies after 3h, so it can't get...

    DC Jack for Gizzu UPS

    Outdoor Warehouse and most 4x4 places will also carry these cables and jacks, since they're used for the extra batteries and chargers that some people install in their vehicles and trailers for things like fridges, lamps, etc.
