amanda_loddenActual, measurable progress! Towards a defined goal! Towards a *long-term* goal, even!
Today, I moved two servers behind a firewall that had been built for that purpose (there's two more to go, one of which isn't actively in use yet and one of which isn't actually built yet). I've wanted a proper firewall-with-VPN for years. I bought the hardware for the firewall... I'm too lazy to look for the receipts, but I'm sure it was sometime last spring.
But! It's up. It's tested, and proven to be working. And it's a puzzle-piece in the over-arching goal of being able to work from anywhere I damned well please.
