Grub Rescue cryptouuid not found
Seanbg replied to Seanbg's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
It won’t boot to an installer when even if choosing boot from USB in bios. Keeps going to this screen. I'm currently in the process of writing over each sector on the disk which is going to take about 2 hours. -
Got a laptop here which I previously LVM encrypted. A member of the family needs a laptop so giving them this. having I can’t remember the crypto password so I thought formatting the disk would work but it just goes in to grub rescue. any idea how to bypass this? I don’t care for any data.

PFsense sell hardware under the name NetGate which is what I am currently looking at. Thanks for the suggestion on Ubiquiti though will also have a look at that thanks.

thanks a lot for your help.

Yep thanks this will definitely do, just wondering do they also act as WAPs or would that need to be a separate purchase? if you are buying their official hardware.

Quick question are there any home routers that enable you to set different DHCP pools or preferably allow private VLANS. I am trying to get a router that would allow me to have a guest network for visitors that move in their own isolated VLAN or be part of their own network with a different DHCP pool so they can't connect to the smart features in my home but can still have internet. Any suggestions welcome.

oh no I was just being stupid I found the port number change

Yeah I know I do know they have monitoring software but I'll deal with that if it comes to that. I am not using it for anything malicious and if they ask me to stop it I will and just find another way round it

Sorry probably didn’t explain good enough, I love in a place where I connect to the closest WAP and that’s it. I only have very limited access as to what I can do and none of them are adminy stuff. I also have to manually add the MAC address for each device I am using (which I don’t understand as even a basic CAM table holds the MAC address as soon as it is connected but hey ho I don’t make the rules) I will try openVPN I haven’t personally heard of it before but I’ll try every possible solution even if my first works.

Cool will do as for the reserved:port number I believe that doesn’t work is because the port is either closed or the firewall blocks untrusted traffic on that port. (For instance I know the company staff’s IT team use teamviewer for remote access even though they have a basic ADDS setup). And also the way I was using it before was via the public IP:port number and the router forwarded the port to 3389 where the DNS query on the router I believe resolved it to my PC which allowed RD connections.

Thank you very much I’ll try this tomorrow when I have some free time. Great to know there are multiple options going to try all of them thank you so much for the support. I’ll let you know how I get on.

After thought, if there was a way to connect the RDP protocol through port 443 that won’t be blocked by the firewall. Again not sure how to do that but it is an after thought.
-
Exactly what I was going to suggest but if it is a home network it may not be able to do that.

Hello everyone a quick background. I am currently a student and have recently moved out of my parents house where I had full access to the router and its settings where I enabled port forwarding from ‘X’ to 3389 so when I connected to the public IP with the ‘X’ port it was able to forward that port to 3389 (I did this for security so it didn’t use the default RDP port even though you either need admin credentials or be part of the Remote Desktop user group with their credentials but even so it’s good to have multiple layers of defence. Having said that if you have any suggested improvements please do say so I love to learn). on to my problem, now that I have moved I have moved in to student accommodations with a firewall that blocks RDP connections and since I don’t even have access to the closest layer 3 device never mind the firewall (assuming it is physical) I cannot use the old method of requesting a connection. So I assume the firewall only blocks out incoming traffic not outgoing (I may be wrong is there any way to check this without breaking TOS?) so I would like to have my Desktop have a call out for a RDP connection to connect to? I have no idea how to do this so was hoping for a little help. i know the firewall is Linux based (don’t ask how I know) if that helps at all. and before anyone says yes I could absolutely use tools like teamviewer and similar but where is the fun in that plus I would really like to get this working. thank you very much in advance. ps. Sorry if what I wrote is hard to understand not the best at explaining myself.
