If I were to use the following call:
Mutex my_mutex = new Mutex();
bool got_lock = my_mutex.WaitOn e(500, false);
and then got_lock returns false, do I need to call "my_mutex.Relea seMutex()"
on it? So put another way, should I always call ReleaseMutex, regardless of
whether or not I got the lock?
Thanks.

No - if you didn't acquire it, you shouldn't release it.

I use a mutex to disallow starting a second application instance. This
did not work in a release build until I made it static member of my
MainForm class.
In a debug build, first instance got ownership, second did not and
terminated. In a release build, the second instance *also* got
ownership. I "fixed" it by making the mutex a static member of my
MainForm class.
Did the garbage collector eat my mutex because it is not referenced

Hi there,
I'm trying to understand the impact of killing a process that owns a
system mutex (used to ensure there is only 1 instance of my program
running)
Here is my code pretty much:
try
{
mutex=new System.Threading.Mutex( true, mutexName, out createdNew)

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
