I live near Blandford Forum in Dorset, UK.  I&#8217;m married, have 3 sons and also share the house with a pet cat and dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been working in all aspects of IT &#8211; servers, networks and user support, both cloud and on-prem &#8211; for decades and have built a great deal of knowledge.  This site is my attempt to share some if that information that is poorly documented elsewhere.  I have especially tried to add some context &#8211; explaining not just how to setup an IKEv2 VPN for example, but why you might want to, the pros and cons, the problems you may encounter, and troubleshooting steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I firmly believe that you get far better results by thoroughly understanding and being in control of a well-chosen but simple product than using a more sophisticated product that you do not understand.  I&#8217;m a big fan of Draytek routers for this very reason. They are easy to setup, are secure out-the-box, and have some genuinely useful features that are well documented (especially on this site, soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work for <a href=\"http:\/\/infosysco.co.uk\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"infosysco.co.uk\">InfoSysCo.co.uk<\/a>, based in Dorset.  We offer our customers day-to-day user support, infrastructure support and datacentre services.  We support both on-prem and cloud installations, using Microsoft products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I&#8217;m Adrian Bromley.
