This can happen in random circumstances. A long time ago Amazon did not allow me to ship to my home address. By trial and error I found out that if I changed a specific o in my address to something else, it suddenly worked. There are no spe

Also, use two routers in serial. One is provided by my isp, the other is my own. The chances of both getting compromised at the same time are lower.

Looks nice! Maybe add some explanation about licensing on the first pages. And the name sounds like "butty" in Dutch, so that will be hard for me to recommend out loud for my Dutch IT students.
