you probably already know where my question is going 😄

rocky badge
#

I have 3 virtual switches. One "WAN" is an external switch, one is "LAN" which is private, the last one is "ADMIN" which is a whatever is in the middle which allows my pc locally to hopefully access pfsense

#

"WAN" is only connected to the pfsense vm. "LAN" is connected to all vms. "ADMIN" is only connected to the pfsense vm.

#

@heavy meteor

heavy meteor
#

where are the vms connected?

#

nvm

#

do you want the vms to go out through pfsense and onto the wan port which is connected to the internet, right?

rocky badge
#

Yes

#

Remember all of this is virtual

#

Lol

heavy meteor
#

Can pfsense talk to the internet?

rocky badge
#

I believe so. It's saying there updates and such. Let me test.

#

Wait.. 100% packet loss.... hmm let me check

#

Hmm I'm so confused

#

@heavy meteor Ive never used pfsense before so Im very confused...

heavy meteor
#

Well, start with the basics.

#

can you ping your gateway from pfsense?

#

do your dns servers resolve hostnames?

#

are the gateways correct

rocky badge
#

pinged 10.0.0.1 just fine

#

cannot ping google or even my external home ip

heavy meteor
#

Is the vm using the lan ip of the pfsense vm

#

there may be policy telling pfsense to drop traffic

rocky badge
#

pfsense vm has 3 ips: 10.0.0.110 home lan 10.50.10.1 internal virtual lan not vlan and some random ip i forget

heavy meteor
#

So is the windows vm on the LAN network using 10.50.10.1 as the gateway?

rocky badge
#

Windows VM has 2 interfaces because I temporaly added the WAN interface for ease.

#

so it has 10.50.10.X and 10.0.0.X

heavy meteor
#

there could be policy on pfsense telling it to block traffic. I would check that out

rocky badge
#

Where would it be? Firewall?

heavy meteor
#

most likely

rocky badge
#

Theres no active firewall rules for WAN and Im sending a screenshot of LAN

elfin socket
#

Pfsense, that good for packet sniffing outbound traffic? Was thinking about expanding my IOT setup but i want to know if anyone is calling home to mother russia and Rostlecom

heavy meteor
#

oh, check the log if there is one @rocky badge

rocky badge
heavy meteor
#

firewall is allowing lan everywhere 😄

#

what dns is the windows vm using?

rocky badge
#

but logs says it being blocked...

#

All actions: 100% block

heavy meteor
#

that could just mean the interface then

rocky badge
#

because I know the wan virtual switch is working.

heavy meteor
#

i'm downloading pfsense now. It will take forever, I'm in a crappy wifi network

rocky badge
#

rip

#

why?

heavy meteor
#

why am I on a crappy wifi network?

rocky badge
#

no

#

why you downloading pfsense?

heavy meteor
#

So I can see what is going on with my own eyes. I've never used it before, so I'm checking things out.

rocky badge
#

ah

#

I would let you remote but I cant even do that..

#

@heavy meteor YAY.... ok so pfsense can ping google

heavy meteor
#

nice

rocky badge
#

but the clients arent getting internet from it...

heavy meteor
#

disable the bridged connection of one of the clients so that you are only on the LAN network then ping pfsense. Do you get a response?

rocky badge
#

o wait... the clients have to manually set a default gateway..

heavy meteor
#

You don't have dhcp turned on for that subnet?

rocky badge
#

no not yet

heavy meteor
#

gateways help 😄

rocky badge
#

yeah

#

I cannot ping or access the vm outside its network..

heavy meteor
#

You would need to allow that traffic

rocky badge
#

im trying to

#

I already allowed some but i cannot access that

#

ok dhcp is enabled and working

night night
#

This is from my phone's wifi at the furthest location in my house

#

Ethernet gets 900 down and 880 up

#

I nearly teared up 🤗

winged moth
#

How big is your house and what kind of access point ar you using?

rocky badge
#

I see a problem with the equipment our school IT is using... it's not ubiquit or netgear

winged moth
#

What is it?

#

On the wireless side, for a school, I wouldn't be using Ubiquiti. Probably Meraki, or that one that Linus uses that I can't remember the name of.

#

Rukus.

slow moth
#

they stopped using rukus

#

its mentioned in the server upgrade vids

winged moth
#

What do they use now?

#

He uses Rukus at home. Although if they got rid of Rukus at work, that would explain why he's using such an overkill piece of hardware.

rocky badge
#

they use entrasys and cisco

fast lichen
#

Is there a way to bypass udp dpi firewall?

winged moth
#

DPI?

fast lichen
#

Yep

winged moth
#

Oh, deep packet

fast lichen
#

Deep Packet Inspection

winged moth
#

Are you in control of it, or is it like a work/school device that you're trying to bypass?

fast lichen
#

It’s umm... an ISP firewall

winged moth
#

wat?

fast lichen
#

Yep

winged moth
#

Where do you live? And what are you trying to do that it's blocked?

fast lichen
#

VoIP .. and I live i the United Arab Emirates

#

I don’t want to use socks nor vpn

winged moth
#

Are you able to change the port for the VOIP service?

fast lichen
#

Not really.. it’s dpi dude

#

DPI over tcp and udp

winged moth
#

I mean, if you set it to something like port 80, they might have it disabled for high traffic ports.

fast lichen
#

The ports themselves aren’t blocked

#

The packets are getting thrown if it knows that it’s a VoIP packet

winged moth
#

There's only so much traffic you can do DPI on. Unless they have a pretty impressive device, they probably have a few ports disabled to lower the load. I mean, past VPNs or luck, there's not much that you can do to get around it.

fast lichen
#

Yeah.. they got it for millions of dollars

#

Man.. I’m sure there’s a way

winged moth
#

Doesn't mean it's powerful enough to run DPI on ISP levels of traffic without crippling their throughput.

#

That's part of what firewalls are supposed to do, prevent there from being a way. VPNs are the best solution to it.

fast lichen
#

I told you there’s a way because every firewall has a weak point

#

I’m sure of it because I got through with TCP.. UDP is left

rocky badge
winged moth
#

What kind of issues were you having? PFsense has been pretty plug'n'play in my experience.

rocky badge
#

remote access, connecting to the internet from pfsense, then getting internet on the clients, dhcp not working, etc

winged moth
#

Should basically be, get an external IP set. Set up DNS servers, set an internal IP. Then you log into the web interface and start with the more intricate stuff like DHCP, DNS relay if you feel like it, more details firewall rules.

rocky badge
#

Idk why it wasnt getting ia gateway automaticaly because that was the problem.

winged moth
#

The clients or the PFsense box itself?

rocky badge
#

both

winged moth
#

Might be that your ISP only provides gateways to known devices AKA their devices. As to the clients not getting a gateway, it seems you messed up the DHCP configuration.

rocky badge
#

this is all virtual

winged moth
#

Ahh. Hyper-V. I can't help as much there.

#

I know that with VMware Workstation you have different types of NIC. If you were using a bridged NIC then you could have manually set the gateway.

#

I never assume that my external IPs will be provided automatically so I plan on that and gather all the needed details first so I can manually set them.

rocky badge
#

Ah

frail igloo
#

@rocky badge I have all my servers running of hyper v

thick minnow
#

is it sad i want to emigrate to Minnesota just because they get 10gbps unlimited fibre for $400 a month?

elfin socket
#

Only if you can use all that.

#

LA has Frontier Fiber and 350 Up 350 Down 6 ms ping to Speed Test LA would be good enough for me

#

Just annoying that my packets get shot off to Chicago for some reason when the Speed Test servers might as well be in rock throwing distance

#

That and LoL servers

vagrant heath
#

I'm thinking of using the fiber ports on my switch to connect my PC.
Anyone have Fiber NIC's they recommend?

rare ember
#

what else do you have connected via fiber ?

#

also what speed fiber connection would you want to use ?

elfin socket
#

Editing 4k to a nas over the network?

#

Hmm, do they even make affordable sfp for desktops?

#

I wonder if you could by used sfp to keep long term costs down?

vagrant heath
#

10Gb/s fiber. Nothing else. I want to do it because I can

rocky badge
#

@frail igloo two physical. 2 virtual

#

@thick minnow in Chattanooga there's 10 gigabit unlimited for 299$/mo

#

The two physical: AD, FS, IIS, etc.
Virtual #1: Windows Server: IIS and play around VM.
Virtual #2: Ubuntu Server: Multicraft server for MC servers when I need one.

frail igloo
#

I have 2 physical hyper vs and and 15 virtual

rocky badge
#

Then I have a 10 Pro VM, 10 Enterprise VM, 8.1 Embedded Pro VM, PfSense VM, Ubuntu 17 VM, and something else I forgot.

frail igloo
#

Two severs just for hyper v dc reverse proxy exchange file server and much more

rocky badge
#

I use both for Hyper V, IIS, Fileshare, and Remote Services.

#

Aka my image hosting

elfin socket
#

Purdy, that Montana?

rocky badge
#

I forgot

#

im not the best at remembering stuff

rare ember
#

@vagrant heath understandable, but unless you have multiple devices that "can" it seems a bit pointless to spend the money to give your desktop 10gbit when its going to be pretty useless

#

what switch do you have ? out of curiosity ?

#

but hey, also if you have the money to do it, what the hell go for it 😃

#

im not sure how much you are looking for a 10gbit capable desktop card probably around 100 - 200$ + the cost of the cables

vagrant heath
#

As of now I have a Cisco catalyst 2960-S Series SI
But am going to get a Layer 3 Switch
soon(tm)

#

Said Layer 3 switch will be 10gig

#

But my Cisco contact is waiting for the next hardware refresh. Amazing how much free gear Cisco staff get.

frail igloo
#

Thats on one server @rocky badge

rocky badge

nice

elfin socket
#

Looking to upgrade the home with a 24 port switch and putting 2-4 Cat 6 runs into every bedroom and living room.
Thoughts on this guys setup for his house in organizing his cables?

#

I want a patch panel and switch for easier troubleshooting, and im thinking about basing it around his solution, but with more management in the switch.
A lot of houses have a structured wiring closet though, and im trying to figure out whether to go with a wall mounted rack, or a low profile structured wiring closet.

agile basin
#

I would say go rack

elfin socket
#

Was thinking about something like this, but a bit upsized, with a managed switch for vlan.

agile basin
#

Netgear has some nice 24 port managed switches

rocky badge
#

maybe a edgerouter instead of that tplink?

elfin socket
#

Im trying to figure out whether to build it using netgear, tp link, or ubiquiti.

agile basin
#

Nah, an Actiontex instead

#

Do a mix of netgear and Ubiquiti

rocky badge
#

^

elfin socket
#

I want something i can manage more easily.

agile basin
#

Netgear switch and patch panel

rocky badge
#

do you need wifi too?

agile basin
#

Ubiquiti router and Access Point(s)

elfin socket
#

I hear ubiquity has good APs, but Small Net builder recommends tp link. But i want to make sure theres software support down the line.

rocky badge
#

Ive never used tplink

elfin socket
#

Theres a vaulted ceiling, so I want the ability to use an AP with POE injection.

rocky badge
#

Netgear POE switch

elfin socket
#

A POE 24 port switch seems overkill when i only need 2.

rocky badge
#

theres some with 1/2 poe

elfin socket
#

If I had more IP cameras, id get a POE switch.

#

Hmmm, WiFi roming is when you got 2 access points on 1 network using the same SSID?

rocky badge
#

yes

elfin socket
#

They just had a new article

#

I know Ubi supports it, not sure about how netgear handles that.

rocky badge
#

you will want a docker for the controller and then the APs

#

or if you cant setup a docker the clodudkey

elfin socket
#

My thoughts were that, since i got a low power NUC, i could try to use a 24 port netgear managed switch, and 1-2 Ubi APs and run their software on the nuc.

agile basin
#

You could?

elfin socket
#

Cloud key can be replaced by a low powered pc running their software?

rocky badge
elfin socket
#

Question: is it a bit too much to ask for something thats scalable, somewhat easy to manage a few times a year physically, but mostly manageable on a tablet?

#

Those solutions are enterprise, right?

rocky badge
#

Ubiquiti yes

elfin socket
#

What about netgear prosafe?

rocky badge
#

ubiquiti has apps. Netgear is through the web browser on mobile.

elfin socket
#

The fewer passwords i need to use, the better. Want to monimize my attack surface.

#

Well, if they got a good experience through safari, thats good.

rocky badge
#

you could get ubiquiti switches

elfin socket
#

Doesnt need to be 100 though an app.

#

Yeah, im struggling to determine whether to get a netgear or ubi switch. Tp link keeps on coming up, but its usually for unmanaged. Think i need the management?

#

Maybe if I used this Netgear nighthawk with link aggregation to the switch?

rocky badge
#

for Vlans on the switch

#

and link aggergation

#

you'll need managed

elfin socket
#
rocky badge
#

I have the R7000

elfin socket
#

I hear alot about level of the switch, do I need a level 2, 3?

#

My uncle was/is a Cisco CCIE but hes a bit of a miser, so I want an idea of the plan when i show it to him.

turbid frigate
#

Levels refer to the OSI model. Basically useless unless you are troubleshooting something and need to communicate where the issue is to people

rocky badge
#

sorry had to go do something... ok

elfin socket
#

Oh, thats a good chart. Epseically since it shows packet filtering.

#

Thanks for the help.

turbid frigate
#

Your welcome, basically ignore when a product talks about levels when buying something since 99.99% of the time its just adding things for marking purposes

rocky badge
#

lol

elfin socket
#

Oh, so a layer 3 handles routing, layer 2 would be unmanaged. So in terms of netgear, a “smart switch” is level 2+

turbid frigate
#

kinda like how shell has "V-Power Nito+ Premium Fuel" AKA 93% octane

elfin socket
#

Been confusing layer with level, havent touched this subject for 2 months.

#

When you get the chance, can you tell me your thoughts on how he set up this network?

turbid frigate
#

If those are external IP's I swear....

elfin socket
#

Ive also been looking at cablesupply.com’s youtube channel for specific info

rocky badge
#

I dont trust dns records for smb shares

turbid frigate
#

@elfin socket So... you want a home network stack?

rocky badge
#

let me boot up my VMs..

turbid frigate
#

\ServerName\Share, I use it all the time. Communicates with windows hostnames

#

Unraid?

elfin socket
#

Not sure. Im jist trying to find a best practices guide for enthusiast networking.

#

And a sound method to manage and troubleshoot.

rocky badge
#

no

#

hyper v

elfin socket
#

Also I want something that I can use IOT devices access to the internet, but not my own network. Right now thers 3 belkin wemo light switches, and 2 thermostats cloud managed.

rocky badge
#

VLANs

turbid frigate
#

@elfin socket Look into ubiquiti. Basically get a rackmount router, add either a managed or a smart switch (not unmanaged) that supports SFP+ for trunking incase you want to expand. Make sure said switch has enough power and POE+ to support the AP's you will need. Add a pactchbay to connect the cables that run through the walls, and your done

elfin socket
#

I dont want them to look at network storage. So theyre on a guest network.

rocky badge
#

My IoT is on the same network because my network storage needs wifi and password

elfin socket
#

Networked storages are password protected of course, but the less access the better.

turbid frigate
#

If you want to host servers get a 24U rack and just sit it on the floor by your electrical closet or something

elfin socket
#

Too large, needs to be wall mounted.

turbid frigate
#

If you want to keep VLAN's separate but want internet on both of them you will need multiple routers BTW

elfin socket
#

Well, iot will be wireless.

#

Yeah, i was thinking reusing an older but up to date router for IOT if its gets bigger.

#

Btw, anyone use Samsung smartthings? Does it work with uPnP off?

#

Is there a real difference between manage and smart switch?

turbid frigate
#

Big difference

rocky badge
#

yes

elfin socket
#

Web interface, command line?

#

But smart mamaged cant do vlan? Dont do routing?

turbid frigate
#

Unmanaged switches are only configurable with command line serial interfaces with special adapters and physical access, smart switches allow configuration over the network in generally a nice GUI

elfin socket
#

So if I want to manage via tablet, ubi software or Netgear Smart managed?

#

Gaming/meedia streaming switches are just branding, right?

#

I can accomplish the same thing with a properly managed plus or pro?

turbid frigate
#

Frankly, anything with gaming or media or content creation in the title is marketing

#

This is how you would have to connect two VLANS that want to both connect to the internet

elfin socket
#

Most of the time, its just software driven QoS?

turbid frigate
#

If even

#

Could just be a 10/100/1000 router that wants more money

elfin socket
#

“Oh hey, you are playing CoD, gonna autoassign ports to cod servers”

#

Can i skip one switch if I use a standard consumer router for the IOT and smartthings hub?

#

And i dont need more than 4 ports?

turbid frigate
#

You only need 1 switch

elfin socket
#

I figure i could always expand and isolate hard wired devices through the patch panel.

turbid frigate
#

you would need three routers though

#

the routers can be utter crap mind you

#

(atleast the one for IOT)

elfin socket
#

What kind of address scheme would you suggest?

#

Yeah, i got an older WNDR3700v2

#

Good enough for IOT, but place it behind my router?

turbid frigate
#

255.255.250.0 subnet mask with the second to last section being dedicated for labeling what switch / vlan stuff is connected to

elfin socket
#

Im still confused bt subnets and best practices for my use case.

turbid frigate
#

All that a router does is combine multiple IP addresses into 1 and not allow external things to access their insides unless the port is forwarded

#

so you can put a billion and one routers ontop of eachother

#

generally multiple routers are used for security. Past the first router is a web server, second router has the guest network, third router has servers + main network for example

elfin socket
#

When i switched ips, and my netgear router was plugged into the isp provided gateway via the WAN, i dont understand why it forced my local network devices to resign everything to 10.0.x.x.
I mean it was the WAN port.
Thats a double NAT right?

#

I mean i get it if it was on the other ports, but the WAN port shouldnt have had that happen.

turbid frigate
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Take a look at that playlist. He does a good job at explaining things

elfin socket
#

Added.

#

“Thank youtube for subtitles and 2x speed”

turbid frigate
#

Understanding Switches will be the best video for you right now probably

elfin socket
#

Am I doing things properly by decribing my security concerns and my requirements first before figuring out the hardware setup?

#

Kinda feel like I’m ahead of my time in figuring out how to isolate IOT, and the guides havent been written yet.

turbid frigate
#

Yeah, TL;DR keep an IOT network separate from your normal network

#

even if that means having a separate AP on a separate VLAN for them

elfin socket
#

Yeah, thats what i was thinking too. Rather than a physical switch or router I have to buy, just a seperate AP on a vlan?

#

And just configure my old router as an AP?

turbid frigate
#

Yup

proud ridge
#

Oooh, any BGP enthusiasts over here?

keen sorrel
#

Ubiquiti SHD or a Meraki AP?

#

Hmm, can we have a "data_hoarding" channel?

#

would love to have a channel to discuss data organization, management, backup, storage, etc.

hmm

elfin socket
#

Like a place to talk about SSD prices

#

or Hard drive prices.

#

I spent a month trying to decide between WD Red, Red Pro, enterprise, or HGST

vagrant heath
#

Also the Desc for this channel should be "Mostly speed tests"

elfin socket
#

"Connect EVERYTHING"

vagrant heath
#

Or "Almost Entirely Speed Tests"

elfin socket

make an Internet of things channel and identify the users as idIoTs

It's oddly enough thinner than a normal 3.5" drive

I was a bit surprised when I compared it to my 1TB WD Blue

it's like 1/5th thinner

elfin socket

maybe its just a variant of their 6TB drives and they removed a plannter?

mounting holes still are the same, right?>

fathom hound

Why wouldn't they be the same?

elfin socket

I've been thinking about getting blues just for backup, dont need the vibration or error correction of a Red

It's just like a normal drive with a bit shaved off the top. Mounting screws are down along the bottom

well, that should help with airflow.

I love my blue, I just wish they had >1TB at 7200RPM

rare ember
#

i try to avoid mesh networks where possible, there performance isnt actually great

rocky badge
#

Why?

rare ember
#

well in comparison to multiple wired access points, you have to rely on access point -> access point wireless communication, which although has gotten better (since more recent devices now have dedicated intra access point radios) still doesnt compare to being a wired node

#

but thats just me, if i can wire it in, im going to do so

rocky badge
#

Yeah but the performance loss is not noticable or there is none.

#

Plus some people cannot run Ethernet in their house

rare ember

yeah true, i just like my 1gbit between devices

Hello guys and girls. Any good recomendations on a PCI-E network card for a desktop? My built in network port is failing 😦 I've tried looking for Intel cards, but there are so many models that it's hard to understand what to buy and not overpay. Also, i'm under linux most of the time, so it should have good linux support

#

(there are others, but they are regular PCI 😄 )

#

I have no idea what's the diff between them

fathom hound
#

I don't remember the model number, but there's a solid TP-Link wifi card (three antennas) that costs about $30 USD. Not sure about linux support on it though.

#

I used it in my PC for just under a year until I could run ethernet to it, never had an issue with it afaik

proud ridge
#

@rare ember Just get some Mellanox gear

#

@twin slate Wifi?

#

or ethernet?

twin slate
#

ethernet

proud ridge
#

Intel i350

#

Always ^

twin slate
#

I actually searched around a bit and bought this:

proud ridge
#

Although the Intel 1000PT will be fine

proud ridge
#

EEEEEK

#

EXPENSIVE

twin slate
#

it's top choice on many reviews

#

haha, try finding that damn card here in the first place

#

had to buy from a more upscale shop

#

others just didn't had it at all

proud ridge
twin slate
#

but I got it without a sales tax 😄

#

May not post to Latvia

#

😄

proud ridge
#
twin slate
#

nah, I already paid for it

proud ridge
#

These post to latvia

twin slate
#

I also paying via business, so there are tax considirations 😃

proud ridge
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I just like quad NiCs

#

If you like Mellanox gear there's some great stuff you can buy at the moment

twin slate
#

😄

proud ridge
#

I'm networking my home hypervisors with those atm

twin slate
#

I don't need it for a server

proud ridge
#

10Gbps for < €15

twin slate
#

my built in motherboard RJ-45 just fails 😄

proud ridge
#

😦

twin slate
#

I'm rare breed that has his desktop on linux :d

proud ridge
#

In future keep an eye out for Intel i350 cards - they sometimes go really cheaply and have four ports

#

Not a rare breed 😉

#

We're common

#

We just hide

twin slate
#

okay, but I doubt I'll need a new card in next 5 years 😄

proud ridge
#

LTT seems to have a predominently Windows-based fanbase though unfortunately 😦

twin slate
#

oh

#

wait

#

did I link a 200+ eur one?

#

😄

proud ridge
#

€35

#

which is expensive

#

for a single port NIC

#

I'd expect 4 ports at that price

twin slate
#

well, it's a top-notch cpu inside that thing

#

that's a flagship desktop card from intel

proud ridge
#

1 Gbps is 1 Gbps

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

twin slate
#

let's just say my experience with these in the past was good 😃

#

I have a 100 mbit connection to outside

#

😄

proud ridge
#

I have JackNet™

#

Weee

twin slate
#

And I don't have an internal network with servers and crap 😄

thick minnow
#

Same as my connection

#

PS ip in pic

proud ridge
#

That's fine

thick minnow
#

Oh k

proud ridge
#

It's my own /24

#

Upload is slow because it's tunneled in over a Virgin Media line 😦

twin slate
#

I may not have 200 Mbit/s down, but I have a symetrical 100/100 😛 dedicated.... for 17 eur/month

#

😄

proud ridge
#

Yeah

thick minnow
#

RIP

proud ridge
#

That's a good price 😂

twin slate
#

Europe

thick minnow
#

I want 1Gig down and up XD

twin slate
#

North-East europe to be specific 😃

thick minnow

twin slate
proud ridge
#

Not bad

#

But

#

Do you traceroutes look as awesome as this?

#

twin slate
#

proud ridge
#

Not bad

twin slate
#

this one is really what's impressive 😃

#

proud ridge

Could you do a traceroute for me?

Telia

#

Nice

#

Narp, just announcing my space there because I needed some extra IPs on a few VMs

#

Well

#

Anycasting there

#

But

#

I really should move away from them

#

I only use them in Frankfurt

#

Use Hostio and Devcapsule in Netherlands and VMHaus, M247 and IOMart in the UK

#

No one in France yet 😦

twin slate
#

I use OVH servers to host Factorio servers 😃 It's in France

#

best spot latency wise for EU players 😃

proud ridge
#

eh

#

AMS is nice

twin slate
#

also nice from USA , both coasts

thick minnow

I am 45 mins away from ams XD

proud ridge

That's to BBC

How do you test this ?

I wanna see XD

proud ridge

You on Windows?

thick minnow

Yes

proud ridge

tracert IP

I prefer mtr but mtr is a pain on windows

twin slate
#

have an IPv6?

proud ridge
#

Yeah

twin slate
#

gimme

proud ridge
#

2a0b:3c47:a0::1

#

2a0b:3c47:a1::1

#

2a0b:3c47:a2::1

#

Hopefully those will go in over different upstreams

twin slate
#

nah, I don't have ipv6 setup

#

probably need to configure the router

proud ridge
#

stupid cogent

#

hate cogent

#

Get v6 😄

#

v6 is nice

thick minnow
#

Why tho ?

proud ridge
#

Why do I hate Cogent?

thick minnow
#

^

proud ridge
#

They're great for inter-DC stuff where you have NOC constantly maintaining route

twin slate
#

idk if provider supports full ipv6, gonna ask 😃

proud ridge
#

but for residential stuff not so great

#

do 😄

#

I ❤ IPv6

twin slate
#

otherwise LinkSys EA6400 has ipv6 section

thick minnow
#

XD

proud ridge
#

rbx

thick minnow
#

Yup

proud ridge
#

sounds like OVH

thick minnow
#

It is

twin slate
#

ahm it's on auto, so provider just does not give an ipv6 😃

thick minnow
#

Its my plex/Gaming server

proud ridge
#

Aorta is owned by LibertyGlobal isn't it?

#

@twin slate Tunnel some in 😉

twin slate
#

not like I have trouble with speeds 😄

#

me lazy

thick minnow
#

Yes it is

proud ridge
#

Fair enough

#

I just like having

#

I have too many things to care besides my network

twin slate
#

i'm a developer

#

so lots of coding 😄

proud ridge
#

Nice

twin slate
#

I have enough to deal with stupid Docker

#

😄

proud ridge
#

Aww

thick minnow
#

XD

proud ridge
#

Docker isn't stupid

#

I have a love/hate relationship with Docker

thick minnow
#

XD

#

Lol

proud ridge
#

I hate dev'ing for it

twin slate
#

you know - when you can do a thing in thousand methods - that's just bad design 😄

proud ridge
#

but in general it's very scalable

twin slate
#

BEcause you start to read google and everyone has his own stick

#

😄

proud ridge
#

yeah

#

that annoys me too

#

😂

twin slate
#

I prefer to work with Vagrant

proud ridge
#

Vagrant hmm

#

lemme look

#

Google own?

twin slate
#

Have my own custom provisioner that does what I need in a single click

thick minnow
#

LOl all my 5th requests time out

twin slate
#

no, HashiCorp

proud ridge
#

Nice

twin slate
#

it's a VM manager basically with provisioning

proud ridge
#

@thick minnow they just don't respond to ICMP on those

thick minnow
#

Rip

twin slate
#

VirtualBox, HyperV, VMWare and Docker 😃

#

works on all

proud ridge
#

Windows host?

#

But linux desktop?

twin slate
#

no, linux

proud ridge
#

HyperV tho

twin slate
#

use NFS for file sync

#

default VirtualBox shared FS is craptastic

#

😄

proud ridge
#

Hahahah I bet

twin slate
#

the only downside if you are on Windows - need to install NFS server in windows 😄

proud ridge
#

Yeah

#

That's gonna be... fun

#

😄

twin slate
#

but I kind'a migrated to *nix because turned out I have everything I need just working 😃

proud ridge
#

I'm trying to swing towards FreeBSD

#

But

#

I have to un-learn a lot

twin slate
#

except OBS, OBS has a bad implementation with mouse key shortcuts, so it only knows mouse 1 to 3 and that's it

proud ridge
#

At least when a server breaks running Linux

twin slate
#

so streaming from windows 😄

proud ridge
#

I know where to look

#

FreeBSD is entirely new to me

twin slate
#

it's not a user system

#

it's pure networking servers

#

that's best use of it

#

everything else is mediocre

#

Wana real sex and satisfaction - pick up Gentoo

#

😄

#

my first linux 😄

#

into the deep end right from the start

thick minnow
#

My first linux was ubuntu

thick minnow

So

proud ridge
thick minnow

I would either get edgerouter or pfsense

proud ridge

Build your own

Consumer are shitty

rocky badge

Edgerouter isn't consumer...

proud ridge

Cisco or GTFO

if you're going enterprise 😛

also depends if theres any licensing issues too

elfin socket

Comes from a state university

Wow, this case color

looks lovely

#

you could give it a paint job 😉

elfin socket

Prices look about the same as market, right?

rare ember
#

ive got a few old catalysts here in the office im tempted to take one home

rare ember
#

if you can get that first one for less than 500 id say its definitely a bargain

#

just bare in mind power requirements for stuff like that :p

#

and noise

#

OMG the noise

elfin socket
#

Yeah, it gets its own room

rare ember
#

ive always been tempted to buy a few old servers

#

but they are soooo frigging loud

#

it would have to go in a basement

#

or soundproof room

elfin socket
#

and you still need to supply airflow

rare ember
#

(even my razor blade i can hear in other rooms if the fans are whirring)

elfin socket
#

$150

#

looks clean

rare ember
#

thats not bad

#

definitely worth it if it comes all in one piece

elfin socket
#

Well, theres a lot to choose from. Honestly I'm looking for a half height one. or maybe rack mount half of it and use the rest as basically a big ass cabinet

#

seems like they got a bunch of them. nice for each one to get its own photo. RIP the intern who took the horribly focused pics though

#

I'm searching through this page, apparently someone lucked out and got a fluke network tester for $40

dapper goblet
#

I use ethernet from from my router and it is a CAT5E at 50 ft. I am not getting a third of our advertised speeds? Any ideas?

#

It is plugged into the router

#

should it been in the modem?

elfin socket
#

@dapper goblet Do a speedtest directly from the modem first.

#

Then use a different cable

dapper goblet
#

The cable runs under my house

elfin socket
#

Then speed test through the router through both cables.

dapper goblet
#

that is out of the question

#

and I only have 1 cable

elfin socket
#

you cant unplug the router, and plug in yourcomputer?

#

you need to remove the router from between

dapper goblet
#

so

#

just like

elfin socket
#

Also if your connection isn't 100%, like theres a bend, or the wire is damaged, you're connection speed is going to step down

dapper goblet
#

OH

elfin socket
#

just make sure you got your antivirus and firewall up

dapper goblet

and it probably gets quished

#

it goes via my vents

that why lol

Is Malwarebytes any good?

#

And i dont like it because it consumed way more resources then needed

@winter cobalt I personally use them

#

I've seen videos that they don't catch every little thing, but I don't trust those videos, and I use common sense when on the internet.

#

I use it too just wondering if they've done anything bad before.

i.e. Don't download a file named "Totally_not_a_virus.exe"

#

And no, they've not been shady.

#

ok, thank you.

#

They did have a bugged update a few weeks ago that used CPU resources terribly, but they've since patched that.

#

I did experience that, it was terrible.

#

Awful

#

Keep in mind that Malwarebytes is in a sort of beta-like state at the moment. While good, they're not a known as some titans.

@winter cobalt autocorrect is on fire today. Meant to say beta, not "net". Get a grip autocorrect or I'm disabling you.
