I have the finish line in sight! I have been using MilitaryCAC.com, downloading a ton of DA Root certificates, messing with my Keychain Access, and banging my head against a wall for about 2 weeks now. I decided to say screw it and buy the Thursby PKard software, and I think it's going to work once I get a Mac compatible CAC reader!

I'm trying to get started on my correspondence courses, before I hit E4, and I just bought a CAC reader today at the PX. I know you can't just plug and go and that there are certain certificates you must install before being able to use your CAC on your personal computer. Does anyone have knowledge on how to do this? Thanks!

Even if you bought one at the PX, check with supply. Most units have a budget to buy a whole bunch of them for all the Soldiers. Might as well have an extra.

Your ISP may not like you using what's really a CAC secured VPN. The protocols make it a data hog and if you're paying for low speed, it will take a long time to establish the tunnel and the connection can get dropped frequently. If you have a home account and telework, at some point the ISP may notice the data consumption and time of day and conclude you have to get a business account. So read up on the limits of your current plan and check with the IT shop on consumption figures. When I was working for the Navy, we had a lot of teleworkers. Those who were constantly interactive with NMCI stuff eventually got dinged for the commercial account. Most figured out how to fly under the radar.

Not to mention that some ISPs *cough*Comhacks*cough* tend to hate off-norm traffic that can't be expressly monitored and may issue a terms of service 'warning' (read: 'Cease and desist or we shall sever your ties to the intarwebz and report you to FBI for you are a pirate reasons.')
