  • Ctrl+H not working? Let’s figure it out…

  • ASP.Net Development Server prompting for password over VPN

    So there’s this problem where a WebForms app prompts me for a password when I’m logged in remotely:

    This prompt doesn’t appear normally, and it sucks because you can’t Google an answer for this one

    See that NTLM Authentication option? Turn that shit off if you’re working over VPN!
