Indeed...looks like it is a CloudFlare issue. Some of the sites I was having trouble are accessible now.

Anyone experiencing problems accessing sites backed by CloudFlare? I'm running into multiple sites that aren't accessible, and this is happening across ISPs as well. Ironically, I'm not able to get to downforeveryoneorjustme.com either.

@GDPR Yeah, I noticed that too. Oddly I was just helping a client look for alternate accounting programs.

Q: Tag Synonym request: [task-scheduler] vs. [windows-task-scheduler]

HanneleA pair of tags I came across on Super User - both task-scheduler and windows-task-scheduler exist, but as far I can see they're both the same thing: task-scheduler: a component in Windows that, like the unix cron daemon, allows scripts to be run at defined times. (questions) windows-task-schedu...

Perhaps try a different flash drive?
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2019 15:41
I would suggest trying with only a single 256MB partition
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2019 15:41
Couldn't you use a large flash drive with a small FAT32 partition?

Not sure what the running theory on Clean Up Duty is but I'm wondering if it has anything to do with # of close votes cast through the VTC queue. I got this hat after hitting the max 20 reviews on SU....?

Breaking down the modem's functions in a chart like this makes it hard to picture where those interfaces would actually be.
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:43
The IP addresses are always assigned to the physical interfaces

Your welcome. Ping me on your original question when you write a new one and I'll see if i can answer it.

Yes, that would be an accurate way of understanding it. The router component gets "turned off" when you activate bridged mode.

Actually, it's probably not best to refer to the web server as having a LAN interface. It's really a service running on the modem that's reachable via "an IP address". It just happens to be the same IP address the modem uses for its LAN interface when in non-bridged mode.

I'm assuming this is what you were trying to learn by asking your original question? If so, I encourage you to post a new question. Your original question is too different and already has two answers, so editing it wouldn't be a good idea.

Ignore the arrows on the connectors...Visio keeps adding them. They should just be lines.
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:25
This is more accurate in bridged mode. There is no router.

Incoming traffic from the ISP is handled strictly at layer 2. It's passed directly to the modem's LAN interface.
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:21
Notice that its WAN interface has no IP address. That's key
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:21
This is what your modem looks like inside, in bridged mode

A switch is merely a Layer 2 device. It doesn't care about IP addresses.
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:12
Not odd at all.
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:10
Yes, it is a switch.
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:09
Why do you find that odd?
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:08
In this setup, you have Internet, but no access to the router's config page
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 12:08
This is how you would use bridging and have access to the Internet, if you didn't want to use a router.

Yes, ISP device comprises all those roles. Hang on I'll draw a diagram, though I'm not sure you'll find anything surprising in it. :-)

May 23, 2018 11:52
Not sure what you mean "decompose"? Are you wanting to see a picture of how it works?
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 11:49
OK, so without the router connected, the reason you can still access the modem's configuration page is that because bridged mode doesn't disable that page. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to get back into the modem to turn bridged mode off!
Twisty Impersonator
May 23, 2018 11:45
Do you have internet access with this configuration?
