Imagine a small loop-back-like device which is plugged into all open network ports - if any of them are removed from a network port, an alert is generated stating "device from port 48 on switch 1 in closet 0 was removed"
This just made me think of an interesting idea: Imagine a small loop-back-like device which is plugged into all open network ports - if any of them are removed from a network port, an alert is generated stating "device from port 48 on switch 1 in closet 0 was removed"
Your idea, however, is not totally uncommon to have a raspbery pi sized device at an offsite location, specifically not plugged into any sort of UPS, which is monitored by various alerting systems. In addition to the alerts that one should get during a grid power failure event from managed UPS and automated generator transfer switch systems, the disappearance of your "UPS canary" can indicate that something is going on at an unattended site.

Most mid- to high end switches already support that kind of functionality.

There are companies out there that offer proxies from 'real' US resident IP addresses. I think these companies use tactics like this to be able to offer real residential IPs (and not IP ranges belonging to hosting companies) This is the first one that came up on google - https://stormproxies.com/ - I'm not saying that specific company is in any way related to this device or tactic (it is just the first on google for…
Luminati.io merely uses the Hola extension to power a massive residential IP network. Hardware is so 2000.

They've gone well beyond the extension now. These days you have no idea if that "free" app you've installed has made a deal with Luminati to sell your bandwidth to the highest bidder. They also have an Android SDK too. I've received several emails like the following: > My name is Lior and I lead the SDK partnerships at Luminati.

I would like to give them an A+ rating for whatever graphic artist drew their artwork and did the CSS/webpage layout, however.

Yes, this one is malfunctioning.
or time for proper network security? port-security and disabling unused ports works great in these cases, especially if you are the sole user of the network.
