  • Yes, we went over this point multiple times, including the distinction between a reboot and a factory reset. He said the device does this to “protect itself”. Although I only care about protecting from blips, I think a small UPS may be the way to go. Though guess that means if the power is out for more than 15 minutes, my AT&T modem may still factory reset itself!











  • To explain how HAproxy and competing tools solve this:

    Two servers are prepared to be the single reverse proxy, but one is active. They constantly communicate with a “heartbeat”. When the active one fails to send a heartbeat, the secondary executes the steps to become the active primary. When the primary’s heart starts beating again, it becomes active again.

    So there can be a few seconds of downtime, but the failover is automatic.
