I cut my office off from the house HVAC during the winter and use my rack to heat it.

My office is upstairs and very far from my router so I've been using PLE to run a trunk up to my office and server rack.

Up to now everything has been sitting in the floor. I found this rack in IKEA inventory and made sure it would fit this little space.

As luck would have it the backing doesn't provide any strength or stability so I left it off completely which works really well for having a power strip on the bottom shelf.

You're looking at my trunk switch from downstairs, my PLE receiver, TP Link wifi power strip that controls the light, my upstairs APC and VeraPlus controller.

It turned out to be just deep enough for a picture and radio shelf so it looks like a cabinet.

The shelves are adjustable so it'll work for just about anything - so long as you put it in the studs.

Anyone else do their spring cleaning in the fall? :)

Non standard ports.

Ssh keys.

Web certificates.

That depends on the port/service you're forwarding.

It also depends on your ISP if they filter some standard ports.

Non-standard ports can obfuscate your service, prevents it from being detected by crawlers and bots.

Start small and don't ignore security standards.

Patch your stuff. Use common sense.
