Function Update-CloudFlareDynamicDns
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Updates specified CloudFlare DNS hostname to the current connection's external IP address using CloudFlare API v4
https://api.cloudflare.com/
.DESCRIPTION
This module is useful for homelabs. Remember how DynDns used to dynamically update your IP address for free? The functionality provided by this module is similar but updates CloudFlare hosted domains. CloudFlare is free and awesome, and I recommend it, if even for its simplified DNS management and free HTTPS.
This should be setup as a scheduled task. I set mine for 5 minutes.
.PARAMETER Token
CloudFlare API Token.
As of 22 Dec 2015, you can find your API key at: https://www.cloudflare.com/a/account/my-account -> API Key
.PARAMETER Email
The email address associated with your CloudFlare account
.PARAMETER Zone
The zone you want to modify. For example, netnerds.net
.PARAMETER Record
This is the record you'd like to update or add. For example, homelab.
Using -Zone netnerds.net and -Record homelab would update homelab.netnerds.net
.PARAMETER UseDns
Resolves hostname using DNS instead of checking CloudFlare. The intention is to reduce the number of calls to CloudFlare (they allow 200 reqs/minute, which is usually plenty), but the downside is that if the IP changes, it won't be updated until the hostname expires from cache.
.EXAMPLE
Update-CloudFlareDynamicDns -Token 1234567893feefc5f0q5000bfo0c38d90bbeb -Email [email protected] -Zone example.com
Checks ipinfo.io for current external IP address. Checks CloudFlare's API for current IP of example.com. (Root Domain)
If record doesn't exist within CloudFlare, it will be created. If record exists, but does not match to current external IP, the record will be updated. If the external IP and the CloudFlare IP match, no changes will be made.
.EXAMPLE
Update-CloudFlareDynamicDns -Token 1234567893feefc5f0q5000bfo0c38d90bbeb -Email [email protected] -Zone example.com -Record homelab
Checks ipinfo.io for current external IP address. Checks CloudFlare's API for current IP of homelab.example.com.
If record doesn't exist within CloudFlare, it will be created. If record exists, but does not match to current external IP, the record will be updated. If the external IP and the CloudFlare IP match, no changes will be made.
.EXAMPLE
Update-CloudFlareDynamicDns -Token 1234567893feefc5f0q5000bfo0c38d90bbeb -Email [email protected] -Zone example.com -Record homelab -UseDns
Checks ipinfo.io for current external IP address. Checks DNS for current IP of homelab.example.com. Beware of cached entries.
If record doesn't exist within CloudFlare, it will be created. If record exists, but does not match to current external IP, the record will be updated. If the external IP and the CloudFlare IP match, no changes will be made.

.SYNOPSIS
Creates a Self Signed Certificate for use in server to server authentication
.DESCRIPTION
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\Create-SelfSignedCertificate.ps1 -CommonName "MyCert" -StartDate 2015-11-21 -EndDate 2017-11-21
This will create a new self signed certificate with the common name "CN=MyCert". During creation you will be asked to provide a password to protect the private key.
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\Create-SelfSignedCertificate.ps1 -CommonName "MyCert" -StartDate 2015-11-21 -EndDate 2017-11-21 -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -String "MyPassword" -AsPlainText -Force)
This will create a new self signed certificate with the common name "CN=MyCert". The password as specified in the Password parameter will be used to protect the private key
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> .\Create-SelfSignedCertificate.ps1 -CommonName "MyCert" -StartDate 2015-11-21 -EndDate 2017-11-21 -Force
This will create a new self signed certificate with the common name "CN=MyCert". During creation you will be asked to provide a password to protect the private key. If there is already a certificate with the common name you specified, it will be removed first.

# Tweaked Win10 Initial Setup Script
# Primary Author: Disassembler <[email protected]>
# Modified by: alirobe <[email protected]> based on my personal preferences.
# Version: 2.20.2, 2018-09-14
# Primary Author Source: https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script
# Tweaked Source: https://gist.github.com/alirobe/7f3b34ad89a159e6daa1/
# Tweak difference:
#
# @alirobe's version is a subset focused on safely disabling telemetry, some 'smart' features and 3rd party bloat ...
# ... while retaining win10 defaults + security features. Aim to be suitable for end-user rollout.
#
# If you're a power user looking to tweak your machinea, or doing larger roll-out..
# Use the @Disassembler0 script instead. It'll probably be more up-to-date than mine:
# https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script
#
# Note from author: Never run scripts without reading them & understanding what they do.
