VPN Help

Submitted by paradoxum on November 27, 2013 - 11:34am

Hi,

Firstly, I'm not even sure this is possible -

I would like to set up my windows 8 desktop PC at home as a VPN server, and then at college use my USB stick with portableapps on it to launch apps such as firefox, thunderbird etc, using the proxy/connection settings which will connect them to my home VPN, and then allow me to access the internet freely via this method. Is this even possible?

Pls. recommend a simple straightforward ebook reader other than Calibre!

FBreader will not do the trick since it wants to insert a book into a manager or library. What I need is a simple, robust solution like Foxit for PDFs: I click on the ebook and it launches it, does not want to arrange it. (Or maybe I need to launch a separate file in FBreader as well as Calibre's ebook-viewer.exe.

Sadly, the ebook reader in Calibre crashes under a 40 MB .mobi, which otherwise works fine on my Kindle. Any other ideas?

Doesn't update any applications

Submitted by avmaksimov on November 9, 2013 - 3:11am

I try to use stable ver.11 and beta 2 of ver.12, but unfortunately for all applications (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird, Skype or Notepad++) platform gives me information about update but after click Next button message 'All your programs updated' appears but none of application was updated.

Thunderbird and Skype I update manually via download from site and install. Now I have problem with only Notepad++, but I think I'll have this issue with any applications.
