How do I open the icon to see the pics?

That image represents a "broken link". The original picture has been removed and the link no longer works.

Might have to have a hunt around for the image link. I assume they were hosted externally, but it they were hosted on Just Commodores, it might be worth a reach out to the admins for support

I've got a question for you. VPN's, I have set up a laptop with Windows 10 as a wireless router running a VPN, it keeps dropping the shared connection. It's plugged into the NBN modem with a cable, I have the shared connection set up through Windows mobile hotspot and then I connect to that with wireless. It will work for a few hours then I will lose internet, go in to the settings on the laptop and the connection is no longer shared. I have to share it again. Is there a better way? (Apart from a new modem that can run the VPN?)

Have you got sleep, hybrid sleep and hibernation turned off?

probably power saving for wireless or something.

Worth a look assuming it's not docked/powered as Windows disables adapter power saving when it is. I'd also be curious to know what VPN client is in use

Express VPN, power setting is never sleep. I'll have to check the wireless power setting tonight.

Do you have it powered or on battery? Honestly express vpn is probably the best service available. Running it via Windows sharing vs on router is almost doing yourself a disservice

 

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

It's powered.

I'm not having much luck using Windows sharing. Going to have to find a router that is VPN compatible. The Optus modem/router isn't. Unless there is a way to get in and edit the settings without a reflash.

 

[Pollushon]

Pretty much everything current supports a VPN function. You VDSL or fibre?

VDLS. We're in the dark ages...
