Our oldest just started Kindergarten, and distance learning for these brand new students AND brand new computer users might be the worst situation of any age. It completely blows. And as the household's resident "self-employment is impossible when half your job involves going into homes and businesses and using people's computers," I'm tasked with being school monitor. This gives me the lovely opportunity to be the person my kid resents for having to pay attention in class. Oh joy.

On top of that we've had all sorts of family drama that I won't go into. But it's awful and has left us more cut off than ever.

ANYWAY!! I really like your website a lot. And I've downloaded your software so I can play with it.

One initial observation: I launched the software, put in an IP address, then hit enter and the program had a hard crash. It works when I click Start though. I'm on Windows 10.


It's been trying to say the least, I hope that by the end of the year we will have some normality back, but who knows. I've had my first covid jab, so I'm doing everything I can to try to stave it off.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. You know what, I don't think I've tried just hitting enter! lol. Users eh?

I'll have a look and fix it, I'm going to push some new binaries soon, I've done a lot of work behind the scenes in the configuration pages which now actually do something, I've got a few more things I want to fix up before the next lot of binaries, I've also added rpm and deb package creation to my deployment script which means natively installed app where I can use setcap to give raw socket permissions to the app on Linux, the AppImage has to run as root. (although the latest code introduces a ping engine that uses the ping binary on Linux as another option to running as root).

If you feel like giving any more feedback (good, bad, ugly!) I would appreciate it, I'm developing somewhat in a vacuum, I developed the tool for myself and figured others might find it useful which is why I released it.
