@AfriNatic
is this the correct setting? Got a new tp link router so not too familiar with the new layout.

Hi @AfriNatic. How about some feedback on the rollout. According to APNIC stats you have basically flat lined at about 15% and Webafrica at 54% Any reasons you can share?

There are some challenges with FNO's not supporting IPv6 yet and others that do switched it off as they are not ready yet. We also faced some high volume broadcast storms in CPT which was IPv6 related.

There is also the end user that use their own equipment that is not enabled for IPv6 while the network supports it. It's difficult for us to force IPv6 to be enabled as it's a hard sell to clients that don't want to enable it because "my connection works fine"

So far most of the network is enable and working as expected.

The whole "its working so why change things" upsets me. People use that excuse to not update their apps, their OS or make changes like implementing IPv6. Neanderthals, the lot of them!

It happens a lot in hosting and especially on Wordpress. We get a lot of abuse complaints because Wordpress installations, plugins and themes are never updated and then websites get compromised. Clients usually only take action after we disable the sites for abuse complaints.

We also see clients with MikroTik routers not being updated and secured and gets added to a botnet and clients are completely unaware. We send 3 x abuse mails after that we suspend your service until such time you can prove you have secured your router. If not your service remains suspended until you get a basic router from Afrihost or another retailer.

And this is why my wordpress sites all auto-update the WP and the add-ons, and why all my Mikrotiks run scripts to update them to the latest build of RouterOS and the firmware.
