Only one problem – no-on can predict when solar flares are going to strike. Following a large scale coronal mass ejection we have less than a day’s notice that a solar storm is heading our way.
If it happens, which it inevitably will at some point, the solution is to switch everything off until the storm of charged particles has passed us by. Once it’s over everything can be switched back on again and it will work fine.
With no lighting, no internet, no TV or anything, it would be a perfect opportunity to go and watch the spectacular light show that will be occurring – the aurorae like we’ve never seen them before.
The likelihood of such an event in any one year is very small. The last time a solar storm occurred of a magnitude that would have disrupted electronics around the world was in 1859 – the Carrington Event, back then of course there was hardly anything to disrupt so it wasn’t a problem; the main casualty was the telegraph system.

LOL - The big solar flare that everyone was worried about already happened and it had zero impact.
Is it possible that a major solar flare could cause damage to the power grid and shut down electronics. But for you to predict it will happen this year is silly.

Nothing happens or exist in this world that the imagination and feelings of one can do harm to you and me. Your question can really be answered by you! Did you feel that this warning of the breakdown of such internet will really come? Have you been informed from a reliable scientist-technologist with an unshakable proof that such feelings of the stoppage of the internet service really will occur? If man has invented such use of the internet(computers) it is logically it has its own studies in the event such usefulness of the computer will come to cease of functioning. If your answer are all positive, do you still feel threatened? Got it?

May go off for a bit if the solar flare is strong enough, but it wouldn't last very long.

seem into Your Ports, Port Forwarding and Firewall Configurations uTorrent Randomized Port: by ability of default, the port in uTorrent is randomized each and anytime it begins, that would want to be bothersome for each person that makes use of a router or firewall application. although, it would want to be reachable in the journey that your ISP is throttling your P2P information superhighway site visitors. undesirable Port/reliable Port: take advantage of a port variety from this variety: 49152-- 65535 (as those are dynamic and/or own ports; aka 'unassigned'). regardless of the truth that you do, stay far flung from the default ports 6881-6999, as those are delegated BitTorrent ports and are understood to be throttled by ability of ISPs.

I doubt it. Unlike a climate denialist, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Attributed to Voltaire, although it is questionable that Voltaire actually said this.
