I was trying to connect to a VPN for a new gig and couldn’t connect.

Error 800: The remote connection was not made because the attempted VPN tunnels failed. The VPN server might be unreachable. If this connection is attempting to use an L2TP/IPsec tunnel, the security parameters required for IPsec negotiation might not be configured properly.

Solution:
Login into the router at http://192.168.100.1. Go to the Advanced top menu item. Then check to enable PPTP PassThrough. You might want to try enabling IPsec PassThrough if that doesn’t work. PPTP worked for me.

Recently my email has been getting flagged by a lot of spam filters. I don’t spam, I don’t even send out bulk emails through my account so I had no idea why this was happening.

I finally received a bounce back message that stated: The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.7.1 Message rejected due to content restrictions (state 17).

In my signature I had links to my website, my twitter page and my linkedIn page. I removed these and now it goes through fine. This have proven to work with a few people who complained of not getting my emails.

If you’re email isn’t getting through, trying removing links.
