    Azure, Google Cloud or AWS

    Quick question: who's eating up the resources? The DB server? Have you thought of multiple virtual-servers / scaling it up like this? Also, there is always the solution of Load Balancer/Proxy in front + multiple App Servers after them + multiple DB Servers. Pushing hardware resources to a...

    Should we (inventors) use a VPN?

    Could be a problem if the search history is linked into a "bucket", even without an identifier or an anonymous/random identifier. You could check this research (yes, it's related to browser history, but the same could be applied to search history logs stored by a service provider - it's a...

    Should we (inventors) use a VPN?

    Actually they do, but they do not tie it to a specific identification form (acccount, IP etc). Straight from their website: "Your search history is safe with us because it cannot be tied to you in any way." duckduckgo .com/privacy#s2 So there is a search history.

    Should we (inventors) use a VPN?

    Unless your "web searches" mean direct accessing websites (via offline gathering of contact) or some other ways, your web searches will be logged - with or without a VPN - by the search engine you are using.

    Software Development Outsourcing

    I'm not sure what do you mean by tax-free. VAT? Income? What form/incorporation? Also, does the differences in infrastructure/health/services etc worth the "savings"?

    How to internet enable a monitor?

    Facts: 1st: any device with a generic web browser (TV, Android BOX up to a point) that lacks the possibility to customize it needs input - either via a remote, a mouse, a touch-something or a keyboard. Although it might seem simple, doing this task everyday / at power on / etc might be a...

    Tracking websites visited through a home network

    For filtering, I would go with OpenDNS too. It might break *some* functionality on *some* sites that rely on 3rd party services. Along with that, I would setup a firewall/something that allows DNS requests only to be sent to OpenDNS's servers. For tracking, that's a little bit more complex...

    Website for a cafe and bar website

    There are N+Z+T options out there... But the simple question to be answered is: what do you want to achieve with your website or digital/online presence? From there, afterwards, you should be able to get an answer or a tailored solution to your needs. It might be a simple Facebook or Google...

    Extrernal Hardrive messing with mouse

    It might be that your WD Passport "eats"[draws] a lot of current from the USB Port/Hub. Try to use different ports - as in, not grouped.

    Secure your company from cyber attack

    Backup. Backup. Oh, did I say backup? And a recovery plan. And updates. Any measures someone takes will slow down an attack and maybe avoid simple attacks, but IT security (generally speaking - either network, data, website, app server, internal app etc) can't be bulletproofed (due to several...

    Migrating website to another CMS...

    If the OP can't get access to their current DB (for example, via a backup request :) ), I'm sure there are ways for digitally extracting(scraping) all the information needed (automated) and reformatted (or, at least, a big part of it) to a format accepted to be imported by the new CMS/Cart etc...

    Gym Bookings system

    First of all, I would setup a system that will display - in a very friendly way - the remaining free spots open on current/next class. Secondly, I would centralize all bookings in a web page and send a confirmation link to all those that booked, independent of the way they did it. 3rd, link...

    Employee Internet Monitoring with a twist

    1. Captive Portal (with username/password or maybe a daily password that's freely available, but has to be read somewhere); with or without filtered websites 2. Make a list of "should-be-free-to-use" sites and let people use them freely.
