H2O
I hope my "off topic" question is not misunderstood because I am just an OpenVPN newb supporter who is trying to feel his way through the peculiar protocol of moderator opinions regarding what I can and cannot ask here. I am excited about the product and the technology interests me to no small extent. However, it does seem to be wound up tightly with a number of other technologies, and it is difficult to think about it in isolation.
My first post ("Newbie Blues") made a few days ago was deemed to be Off Topic, but the moderator consented to leave it open for discussion to allow for the chance that someone may want to make a response nevertheless. Then my second post ("switch port closed automatically") was likewise deemed to be Off Topic, but the moderator did not feel inclined to leave it open for discussion and disallowed the possibility of response. I am just a bit confused about where the line is supposed to be drawn in these cases. For example, I was not so much asking this question here to get support for this switch per se, but because I was wondering in what respect OpenVPN might have a way to cause such an effect on the switch. I have noticed that this post's topic appears to have generated a number of interested views from curious users.
Finally, I was trying to be more compliant in my last post ("update-resolv-conf"), despite the rather humdrum topic, but it seems to have generated little interest. So I was wondering whether I should be asking my questions differently, better, more suitably in line with the requirements of typical questions allowed here? Any constructive advice along these lines would be appreciated. As I stated initially in my very first post here, "If this is NOT a place for such support, please let me know so that I can look elsewhere and avoid wasting anyone's time by putting out the information for review." I am not the sort who would dwell on a topic deemed unsuitable to the moderator's preference. Thanks.
