Test the security of the router and network you are on right now:
1-click and 30-seconds to test the security of the network you are on now.
Visit https://status.omniwan.io/ to see status updates for your data center.
Sometimes the appliance and FNS connection need to be re-optimized.
You can schedule an optimization with an engineer by contacting support@totaldigitalsecurity.com with your request. Please include all relevant observations and details in your request.
During optimization your network will be disrupted for up to 30 minutes.
If you experienced a power outage, or your internet provider dropped the connection or had technical problems, here is the routine to restart the system:
1) Do a hard power cycle on your internet modem. Do not "reset" - just unplug, wait a minute and plug it back in. Let the modem complete its restart routine before continuing.
2) Then, do a hard power cycle on your FNS security appliance. Allow plenty of time for the full restart and reconnection with the modem.
3) Check your internet connection. You may or may not need to restart the WiFi router. DO NOT "RESET" - simply unplug, wait, and plug back in.
4) Wait at least 3-5 minutes for all components to "shake hands" and settle in before evaluating the network.
This procedure should fix any DHCP issues, and restore your connection successfully.
Contact a TDS engineer to re-optimize your signal, if necessary, by emailing Support.
Want a quick, comprehensive and free test of your internet network? Just run the ShieldTest by clicking below:
Sometimes, when running the ShieldTest from http://totaldigitalsecurity.shieldtest.com/ the test is blocked before it completes.
Here is an example of an error message that may appear:
If you have anti-virus or other security software turned on, it may block certain aspects of the ShieldTest diagnostic.
If you use our F-Secure Device Protection product, you can clear the test by allowing it in the popup dialogue.
For some machines, it may require temporarily disabling Browser Protection to run and complete the test.
We can easily whitelist and exempt blocked sites for you.
Here is what we need from you:
- Last date/time the error/block took place.
- The LAN IP address of the machine that is having the issue.
- Any screenshots or error messages produced that are relevant to the reported issue.
Send the information to support@totaldigitalsecurity.com and we will clear the sites that are being blocked.
