NPushOver VS pfSense

Never heard of or used push over but I’m assuming this is their site

The general ones that use email never seem to send anything. The ones that specifically use Gmail don't work anymore since Google apparently changed some security settings. And the one that uses Pushover didn't work AND wanted me to pay too much for their app.

Pushover.

check out pushover, I use it for this exact case

https://pushover.net/

I use Pushover for receiving alerts and notifications on my phone. I think the mobile app may cost a small amount like $5 USD, but the service is free for up to 10,000 notifications per month. I can't recommend Pushover enough. It is freaking awesome.

At a glance, with the /stock/products/{productid}/locations you can easily retrieve the amounts for different locations. It should be fairly simple to then filter it either directly in the query or in the script. Then you can either add it to the shopping list with /stock/shoppinglist/add-product or use something like pushover.net to send notification straight to your phone.

I used to use PushBullet but they stopped supporting iOS which is why I came to Now Push. I may use https://pushover.net/ instead, there doesn't seem to be a ton of alternatives.

All you need to to do is register your helium account number and Pushover account number (you can sign up here : https://pushover.net/) and install the pushover app on your phone.

Don't mean to shit on your idea but how does this compare to an app like Pushover for instance? (https://pushover.net/)

One option is Firewalla Gold Plus, or you could buy a mini PC like it and run pfSense/OPNsense yourself.

Download and install pfsense as a virtual machine or partition: https://www.pfsense.org Configure it with the rules you want: https://youtu.be/VAGFGppSt74 Play with it, but be careful because it will block all traffic unless you check everything properly.

Another option is Firewalla, or buy a mini PC like it and run pfSense/OPNsense yourself. Two similar concepts, with the cost being either money or your DIY time. A lot of Firewalla users say that it's much easier for home use than pfSense/OPNsense, so you might find it worthwhile to spend a little more on it upfront and have to tinker less.

If you want firewall, I think you can use https://www.pfsense.org/ or https://opnsense.org/ , maybe running on an old PC or a Raspberry Pi. Not sure.

I've recently started using OPNsense. It's similar to pfSense, but seems to be considered a little more user-friendly.

For most router issues, I recommend people always put them in to dumb bridge mode and put a proper firewall like pfsense or opnsense as your gateway.

I have found that my historical average packet loss is about 0.02%. Something distinctly changed around 4/20 of this year, and now the average packet loss has gone up to 0.05% with spikes even higher, associated with periods of elevated ping times. It rarely did that before. Typically the IPv6 stack has more problems than v4 (especially an incident of packet loss on 4/28), and neither has been trouble-free since I started service in early 2020. My data comes from a pfSense installation.

I have done this using the Pfsense
