First of all, stop talking for others.

You hate dogs. Not we.

Second, I don't let my dog roam around and I am very well aware of people being anxious, but clearly you just hate on anything with dogs and are ranting here.

>And you're obviously thinking of a smaller dog and roomier office than I am, if that dog isn't still getting in the way.

Except, you know, I have a big dog and he does exactly that. Laying on his bed all day.

>This policy of allowing dog is pushed by a majority that cannot understand that some of us simply don't like dogs at all.

Should we also ban roses, because some people don't like them? How about no meat at the workplace because it could bother vegans?

There has to be some kind of compromise by everyone if people want to share a place. Be it accepting that some people love dogs, hate roses,....

At the end, if the majority likes something, you are on the losing end in a shared environment at least (as bad as that sounds). One could also argue it is rather selfish that you want a shared environment to suit your needs only.

If something bothers you that much then you have to somehow find a compromise. Maybe you can sit away from the dog owner coworkers or something or create "dog areas" and "no-dog areas." (Another compromise, like I mentioned).

My point is, just the existence of a child in the office isn't bad. If it starts yelling etc. then it gets annoying.

Same with dogs. How does a dog that lays on his bed all day next to his owner bother you?

Children in the office aren't bad either, if they behave.

This has nothing to do with dogs being in office.

It's just a rant from the guy because he had some bad experiences with dogs.

THe problem (regardless of office or not) is not that dogs are allowed, but rather dogs not behaving.

I think that usually refers to that they take over a part of the required contribution or that it allows you to pay more into the pension.

Yes. This drives me crazy as well.

What you have to do is use group policy to manage your firewall (secpol.msc) and tell it to ignore local firewall rules.

Yes. But that article never worked for me.

>in a relative world, everything is a compromise.

Modern men call it: "There is no free lunch!"

You could start here:

https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Gigabit_Networks_...

>It is easily possible to saturate a 100 Mbps network using an OpenVPN tunnel. The throughput of the tunnel will be very close to the throughput of regular network interface. On gigabit networks and faster this is not so easy to achieve. This page explains how to increase the throughput of a VPN tunnel to near-linespeed for a 1 Gbps network.

I think the protocol just wasn't designed for such high speeds.

>but given that most of the sites and service you use aren't able to deliver 1Gbps to you directly

You would be surprised how wrong this statement is.

Especially if you are a gamer, almost any platform can max out a Gbit connection easily.

Besides at those speeds you start seeing all kinds of issues (like OpenVPN implementation being very inefficient).

If you have 1GB, then forget anything OpenVPN. Use IPSec or Wireguard.

With OpenVPN you will bottleneck at ~300Mbit\s. With IPSec and Wireguard I have had no issues getting ~900Mbit\s to my own server.

Why don't you switch to paid Gmail?
