edgy pasture
#

Cloud is money

little schooner
#

but its a solution.

edgy pasture
#

And good to know

little schooner
#

Chances of more than one drive failing at the same time is rare

edgy pasture
#

Was spooked because all drives would have same ware

little schooner
#

they wouldn't

#

physics prevents that

#

some drives went through more testing than others

#

some parts may have been bad from factory

edgy pasture
#

Also is 200gb a day of read/write going to kill my nas drives

little schooner
#

supplier may have good parts and bad ones

#

well, if its not drives rated for it

#

yes

thorny vector
#

They're all rated for the same time, as in if it fails before that time, it's a manufacturing fault. I have some drives that have been live for weeeeell beyond they're time.

little schooner
#

but if you buy enterprise drives

#

i assure you they last a long time

edgy pasture
#

They are nas drives

#

Ironwolf pro

little schooner
#

I only use enterprise drives

#

so I wouldn't know about NAS grade ones

#

But if you read on seagate's website, they have a 500TBW rating. sec, im verifying that again

#

yeah thats per year

#

basically it will last forever

edgy pasture
#

Nice

little schooner
#

73,000โ€ฌ for your 200gb per day of reads/writes

#

73 TB

#

i wouldn't even count the reads

edgy pasture
#

Its still 200gb

#

Renders

little schooner
#

i see.

#

Which nas drive is it?

#

what brand

edgy pasture
#

Ironwolf pro 8tb

#

4 of them

#

Might be regular ironwolf

little schooner
#

Hmm trying to look for its TBW but they dont promiently list it

#

but i see 1.2 million hour mtbf

#

that is many years

edgy pasture
#

Sweet

little schooner
edgy pasture
#

Wait

#

Wat

little schooner
#

meaning, its rare for it to fail at the same time unless something physically happened to your computer

#

or if you bring it up to a mountain top

#

hey, what you can do is simply have two NASes then, and have it duplicated that way

#

or maybe an external 15TB usb drive

arctic cave
hallow nimbus
#

Show off

thorny vector
#

i have similar downs, but those ups though...

desert sparrow

#

I feel with you @desert sparrowPepeHands

clear igloo

desert sparrow
#

stop. dont play like that.

#

that cant be the free wifi

fervent brook
#

it was

#

it was a temp location

#

and they forgot to program in a speed limit

#

that was some of the fastestใ€Œanimeใ€I've ever downloaded at a library

little schooner
#

@clear igloo by next year, the Netspeed people will finally have fiber installed in my area

#

They will offer speeds like that. I want it badly

#

It only like $70 a Month

clear igloo
#

nice ๐Ÿ˜„

waxen scroll
#

@little schooner tell your professor about spine/leaf today

#

Tell him you want to do it in his lab

clear igloo
#

Don't ask, just do

waxen scroll
#

We do that at my job too lol

#

Asking makes too many questions

little schooner
#

@waxen scroll is that the Cisco ACI stuff?

waxen scroll
#

Yes

craggy parcel
#

@little schooner Those 70 usd will get you 1gbit where I live. Except I live in an apartment building, where no one has the interest in getting fiber installed, and as such, it's not available for me.

waxen scroll
#

@little schooner you should make a network AI

#

@clear igloo The network, self healing

little schooner
#

@waxen scroll I want to try the Nvidia Jetson dev board for a cheap way to have AI recognize the people by name in video stream in real time and snapshots

#

I fear that I don't have the pre req to getting it really where I want it though. But I saw they have tutorial guides for video stream

#

And I have to tweak it from there

waxen scroll
#

@clear igloo maybe ill get azure ipsec up today

clear igloo
#

sounds like fun ๐Ÿ™‚

waxen scroll
#

we had basic training at work from MS and got a test voucher

#

should i bother using this?

#

never done it on ubnt before

#

not sure if CLI is better

clear igloo
#

never done it myself via the GUI

little schooner
#

@waxen scroll you can just do it through cli, since it will save to config and its explicit

#

That way when you review config, you aren't surprised why it works without rules

waxen scroll
#

@little schooner i decided to google it and of course someone did it already

stiff panther
#

mail server should port 25 or 587 or both be open?

little schooner
#

@waxen scroll im glad its a nicely laid out guide

#

one is encrypted and one isn't @stiff panther

clear igloo
#

Most ISPs block port 25 anyway and you shouldn't really open it unless you've got some protection ready to go

stiff panther
#

@clear igloo i got webmin with mail filtering and spam assasin if it this kind of protection youre talking about?

clear igloo
#

That and making sure it's not allowed to relay messgaes from outside

stiff panther
#

does that block replies?

#

and incomming mail to e.g support@mydomain.xyz

clear igloo
#

relay means people can use your server to send messages to other people, basically you become a source of spam

stiff panther
#

ah

stiff panther
#

are there anyone familar with webmin/virtualmin?

#

getting Error - No cookies when logging in when trying to proxy to webmin panel

#

nvm

craggy parcel
#

Be sure to secure that Webmin installation. As a minimum, do not allow access from the entire world, only trusted/internal IP's. VPN requirement would be preferred.

little schooner
#

In my eyes, VPN is the requirement for outside access

thorny vector
#

@little schooner nah, leave 3389 open to the world. It's fine.

hallow nimbus
#

If you do that on my network i will ban you from existing

clear igloo
#

@hallow nimbus I'll open all your ports ๐Ÿ˜‰

hallow nimbus
#

Nope Nope Nope

clear igloo
#

๐Ÿ˜„ yup yup yup

#

except 3389, no RDP for you

hallow nimbus
#

3389 is the most insecure port of all of them

#

So people need a vpn to connect to those ๐Ÿ˜„

fervent brook
#

leave 666 open

clear igloo
#

I use vlan 666 ๐Ÿ˜„

fervent brook
#

hopefully you aren't using port 666

#

that's kinda for something more important

waxen scroll
#

vlan 666, vlan 13, vlan 1337

fervent brook
waxen scroll
#

if you're a chinese company, vlan 888

#

i have a chinese coworker who keeps opening change requests until the number has an 8 in it

#

that one is used, the rest discarded

stiff panther
#

I can't resolve my local hostnames over openvpn

waxen scroll
#

thats good. it means the VPN is working

#

๐Ÿ˜„

stiff panther
#

@waxen scroll but it work with the ip's

#

and i want to use the hostname and not the ip to access the servers

waxen scroll
#

so the VPN is supposed to redirect your DNS to the place you're VPNing to because you need to reach those services. if it kept your local DNS server and the remote at the same time, the random nature of selecting a DNS server for a query could send it to the wrong one

stiff panther
#

like im away from my home network and i connect to my vpn and going to access my server by server.mydaomain.lan but the vpn cannot resolve but it resolves the ip 10.0.1.1.

waxen scroll
#

so maybe i misunderstood... you cant DNS on the network you VPN'd to

stiff panther
#

well then i have to proxy pass the panel to my subdomain

waxen scroll
#

i believe you have to go to the server side and tell it what DNS servers to push to the VPN client

little schooner
#

Yes, you need to push DNS server

#

And then it will use the ones local in the network where VPN server sits

#

Be warned that if you use apps that are isolated, like in Samsung Knox, DNS resolution and VPN access will fail

#

But that is a 1% edge case

#

I learned this the hard way with Wireshark

stiff panther
little schooner
#

More like this

push "dhcp-option DNS 10.66.0.4"

stiff panther
#

@little schooner thanks so much

little schooner
#

welcome

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector 3389 open? No problem. Most of the servers I administer, does in fact have that port open to the entire world... Gives absolutely no problems, what so ever...

hallow nimbus
#

Gets 50K login requests a sec

thorny vector
#

@craggy parcel u u know rdp has a butt ton of exploits, right?

#

Just setup a VPN, then rdp through that, so much more secure

hallow nimbus
#

Thats what i do

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector Yeah, but the majority of the servers I administer, are linux servers, no RDP on them anyways. ๐Ÿ˜‰

hallow nimbus
#

SSH on port 22 ?

craggy parcel
#

And the windows servers are blocked.

thorny vector
#

Then why would 3389 be open on them? Some other application running on it?

craggy parcel
#

@hallow nimbus Not a chance. Too many port scans catches that... But I never changed the port for security, just to avoid getting my logs filled with scans. With password auth disabled, most automated attacks would fail anyways. Also there are some filtering in place, that restricts the scope of allowed sources...

hallow nimbus
#

I just vpn to my network and have a limited amount of ports open

#

AKa game ports

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector Nah, more like there is no filter, or access restrictions to prevent traffic from reaching the servers. But they are not actually listening. Kinda like kids. ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

@hallow nimbus That's also nice, until the VPN connection is not working. ๐Ÿ˜‰

hallow nimbus
#

I had that earlier this week

#

OS froze

#

Stupid windows

craggy parcel
#

Yeah.. Never had one freeze, though..

hallow nimbus
#

And my vpn is running inside a VM so yea when windows freazes my Vm freazes aka fun

thorny vector
#

@craggy parcel that sketches me out. Never know when some zero day based on malformed packets is going to come out. And if your tunnel isn't working, man that's some basic stuff. I use openvpn, and my edge router handles it with no issues

#

@hallow nimbus do you have hardware that you can run ESXi or proxmox on?

hallow nimbus
#

I do have that hardware but i am in need of a new storage server soon so gonna change everything then

craggy parcel
#

Yeah, well, if the tunnel is not working, and shit hit the fan, I have an annoying boss that wants the thing back up yesterday.. The fact that the equipment if physically located about 2 hours drive from the office, kinda calls for a backup plan, in case the VPN connection is down, and it has actually happend more than once...

hallow nimbus
#

Get a second VPN connection on a seprate machine

#

๐Ÿ‘€

thorny vector
#

Do you have a netblock, or just one public IP?

hallow nimbus
#

I just have one public Ip

#

Sadly

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

craggy parcel
#

@hallow nimbus Haha.. yeah, could work, however, there seems to be a bug in the firewall, that occasionally makes it forget some of the rules, and which rules are unpredictable.. But never had all my access options fail at once... Yet...

hallow nimbus
#

Dropkick that firewall and it should work again

craggy parcel
#

A firewall located some 150 km. away, is hard to kick.. ๐Ÿ˜›

thorny vector
#

The only time I've ever had my firewall get funky was when snort started to persist rules even after I would turn them off

#

A good update fixed that

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector What firewall was that? Some custom linux box setup as a firewall, or a dedicated appliance?

thorny vector
#

My edge router runs pfsense. I have an older server that I repurposed to be a router, and since it's got the beef, I run deep packet inspection with snort running in as IPS

craggy parcel
#

We use a dedicated appliance from a firewall vendor, for that purpose.

hallow nimbus
#

Wait you guys have a firewall ๐Ÿ‘€

thorny vector
#

I just wanted to get away from branding, mostly because of how Cisco is starting to handle liscenses,and everyone usually ends up following them

#

So all of my security appliances, routers, etc are whitebox

craggy parcel
#

@hallow nimbus Yeah. Don't you? ๐Ÿ˜›

thorny vector
#

I even built a custom switch

hallow nimbus
#

No lol ๐Ÿ˜‚

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector Yeah. I can see the idea in that, but it also puts more of the responsibility on you, when there's problems. Which can be a good and a bad thing. ๐Ÿ˜‰

thorny vector
#

And job security ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘Œ

craggy parcel
#

There's certainly some fun in making the boxes yourself, but I doubt that my boss will save the money on maintenance in exchange for my time. ๐Ÿ˜‰

hallow nimbus
#

Custom boxes are fun until something breaks

thorny vector
#

That's why I have a homelab. I expiriment there

hallow nimbus
#

Then its a fucking nightmare

craggy parcel
#

@hallow nimbus Actually, when it breaks, the fun part begins. ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

@thorny vector Yeah well, I've come to the point where experimenting in my free time, with work related stuff, is not going to happen. I'd rather get paid to play. ๐Ÿ˜‰

thorny vector
#

Then get good at making them then. I've had zero issues, other than some bugs and such, but those were easy to fix, I either updated or rolled back applications

#

@craggy parcel I enjoy it

#

Recently stuck and ESXi host inside of a pelican case

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector So do I, but if what I play with are to be used for work related tasks, I'd rather get paid for the time spent doing it. Makes it MUCH more fun. ๐Ÿ˜‰

hallow nimbus
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

thorny vector
#

Runs a whole subdomain of my home network that vpn's home from it's wan link whenever it's connected to the internet

craggy parcel
#

@thorny vector Also if I should play at home, I would need to buy the equipment, and pay for power, myself. And that's not fun either.

hallow nimbus
#

I allready have a homelab starting

little schooner
#

I've read that fortigate has dedicated processors to handle firewall and content inspection

#

that means I can get 1gbps with content inspection on?

thorny vector
#

I do

little schooner
#

edgerouter barely can do such a thing

craggy parcel
#

@little schooner Sounds like the right way to do things. ๐Ÿ˜‰

little schooner
#

it caps at 280 mbps

hallow nimbus
#

F

little schooner
#

fake processor

#

faker.

hallow nimbus
#

You guys have a 1Gbit connection sadd

#

While i am sitting here with 250 down and 25 up

little schooner
#

Not yet but i mean 1gbps for local routing

hallow nimbus
#

Oh

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

little schooner
#

i have 190 but 8 up

hallow nimbus
#

YIKES

little schooner
#

its stupid

#

COMCAST

hallow nimbus
#

Even worse

little schooner
#

grrrrr

thorny vector
#

Get an older server, with some decent xeons in it, and put pfsense on it

hallow nimbus
#

Can we ban comcast from existing

little schooner
#

@thorny vector I have pfsense in a VM used as VPN and basic CA server

#

I have a very strange NAT setup

#

it is very bad.

#

bad that I have to reduce MTU value

thorny vector
#

Wtf

hallow nimbus
#

I have a test pfsense server running now before i put it in 100% production use i wanna know if it funktions correctly

little schooner
#

any mtu value over 1320, I can't connect to my network

craggy parcel
#

@hallow nimbus We have 500 mbit in the datacenter. We needed an upgrade, and the 500 mbit connection was actually LESS than our previous 100 mbit. ๐Ÿ˜›

little schooner
#

and depending on what service I am reaching

#

like for dns, my mtu value can be 1400

#

but for rdp, it cant be more than 1320

#

its stupid

hallow nimbus
#

I have 10Gig internal networking tho but that means nothing if i cant use it to connect to the outside

thorny vector
#

Something is borked

little schooner
#

Yes, its my bad NAT setup

hallow nimbus
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

thorny vector
#

@hallow nimbus false! Means you can throw data around like a ragdoll

little schooner
#

this problem goes away if I place PFsense at the root of my internet connection

#

so modem > router > switch

thorny vector
#

Then do it ๐Ÿ˜‚

hallow nimbus
#

Thats true @thorny vector But i wanna trow it around on the internet aswell

#

Now i have to rent a server in a data center voor some things

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Like running my livestream

little schooner
#

@thorny vector easier said than done. I fear I may break something in the process

#

and i have exams tomorrow

hallow nimbus
#

F

little schooner
#

during winter break i'll consider changing

hallow nimbus
#

INB4 cant

#

Because too bad of a setup

little schooner
#

remember, Im the one who has ethernet cables coming out of the wall like this

clear igloo

IS THAT THING IN UR LIVING ROOM @thorny vector

#

That aint that bad for a starter rack @little schooner

little schooner
#

@thorny vector massive

thorny vector

Nah man, I like it. And yep

hallow nimbus
#

Its still better then mine

#

I dont even have a rack

#

My servers are standing on the floor ๐Ÿ˜‚

thorny vector
#

@hallow nimbus the sound of fans keeps me zen

little schooner
#

@hallow nimbus i was considering getting like a low profile server that could fit inside a real network cabinet

hallow nimbus

@clear igloo we should cross the streams

little schooner

Yea i am sitting here doing 4K60 footage at 110MBps 50 min video rendered in like 30 to 40 mins

#

Thats on my TR

little schooner
#

Yeah. I need something fast like that

craggy parcel
#

@hallow nimbus The codecs for HEIF and HEVC is kinda available for free on the Microsoft store.. You just need the link, which is easy to stumble upon on that thing called the internet.

hallow nimbus
#

I saw a video about that

little schooner
#

all my photos from photo are in HEIC

hallow nimbus
#

oof

little schooner
#

the space savings are crazy

craggy parcel
#

@little schooner Taken with what? An iphone?

little schooner
#

galaxy s10

#

also, if you guys want easy integration into file explorer to view HEIC files directly and previews, copytrans has the extension software for it

#

that what I am using and it can convert to jpg with double click

#

well, convenient until microsoft supports it natively

waxen scroll
#

@clear igloo are you doing any "network as code" stuff?

clear igloo
#

yes

waxen scroll
#

is it worth my time?

#

i know 0

clear igloo
#

You're talking about automation programming stuff right?

waxen scroll
#

sort of.... im talking about some how managing the network using a repository and having many different devices understand what you want regardless of what syntax they use

clear igloo
#

ah, I haven't done any of that yet

waxen scroll
#

wondering if its a hipster fad to ignore or to actually pay attention

craggy parcel
#

@waxen scroll Are you thinking solutions like terraform?

clear igloo
#

I'm thinking of Ansible stuff

waxen scroll
#

i think so? like i said i only know about this concept existing and not any details

craggy parcel
#

Terraform is able to setup an entire virtual environment, including VM's and networking.. Never used it myself, though.. But I suppose, that if you plan on using AWS or AZure for your project, and needs the ability to quickly recreate the entire environment, it would be a great solution. But for existing environments, I'd avoid it.

waxen scroll
#

im more of a corporate datacenter infrastructure guy, my customers are business units and not just devs. im not on some dev team

#

still need to keep my ears open for industry shifts

#

we're also getting into azure with my team managing all the network pieces

#

we've seen what happens when we dont lol

#

@clear igloo someone did a 10/8 in azure and fucked everything up

craggy parcel
#

Well, VMWare has their NSX solution, and as VMWare can be automated using PowerShell, and just about any language, that can speak HTTPS, you could use that as well, to manage the networking part. Again not something I used myself, as it's not part of our VMWare environment.

little schooner
#

@waxen scroll when companies say their firewalls have different speeds for different feature sets like UTM, Inspection, is it safe to assume if that is the only thing running on the box?

#

So if I enabled those three different things, I can expect speed to drop even further?

waxen scroll
#

usually, yes

little schooner
#

omg................

#

terrible

clear igloo
#

yup, and usually only at 1500 byte packets too ๐Ÿ˜„

little schooner
#

I wanted something nice like this

#

Watchguard or fortigate

waxen scroll
#

our security team one job ago got BURNED by that. one idiot turned on all features and it took a month to figure out why the datacenter network was stopping to take a breath

little schooner
#

aww man

#

thats a real bummer

waxen scroll
#

the asa's internal ethernet ports or whatever they're called were dropping packets like crazy

#

the ports are between modules

#

like firewall and firepower

craggy parcel
#

@waxen scroll An ASA with Firepower extensions by any chance?

waxen scroll
#

yes

#

the moron was doing this and inspecting almost all traffic in the DC

clear igloo
#

inspect all the packets!

little schooner
#

So wait, @waxen scroll then I just have to make sure I ask before buying to see by how much I can really expect from it if I wanted two out of the three?

craggy parcel
#

We had one too, and it managed to kill the entire network. Not many packets were passed through until firepower got disabled.

little schooner
#

so like ask the sales guy

#

man, that takes more work

waxen scroll
#

yes, ask the sales ENGINEER

little schooner
#

ahhh

waxen scroll
#

๐Ÿ˜›

little schooner
#

okay, the engineer

#

I like it when I call in and they know exactly what they are spitting out of their mouth when they try to sell stuff

#

but that never really happens often

craggy parcel
#

@little schooner Yeah, ask the sales people at your supplier, then find a consultant that's actually deployed those things in the real world for years, and have him/her verify the claims from the sales people. ๐Ÿ˜‰

waxen scroll
#

@little schooner normally you should be getting a test device for free and then generating traffic

little schooner
#

yeah... but you think they would do that for home customer?

waxen scroll
#

no.

little schooner
#

aww.

#

@craggy parcel good advice

craggy parcel
#

I know people that kinda likes the Palo Alto firewalls, and claims that their tests actually shows the real world numbers..

little schooner
#

i heard palo alto is up there in the $$$

waxen scroll
#

and i bet thats why azure is being racist.... im regging using a home address

#

they'll change their tune when i name ddrop the company

little schooner
#

My university (not the college with prof) exclusively is using palo alto

#

their network is fast and fine

craggy parcel
#

Depends on the feature sets you need.. They are kinda on the same level as cisco ASA's in the same performance range... Somewhere around 10-20000 DKK. Convert to your currency of choice..

hallow nimbus
#

A lan event i was at uses palo alto

I'm having issues with high packet loss (15%-20%) and fluctuating ping. Basically, my internet looks like a sine curve.

I'm using a wired connection and get great speeds (200-300 down, 5-50 up) and have tried changing the cables and DNS settings already.
I am on campus at my University, so I don't really have access to the router directly.

Any ideas for possible solutions? I am currently working towards getting IT to my building to access the router.

at least it's aesthetic

Don't know, im in New York and this is a voice chat in a US-east server

except they actual took away our internet access a week later

this issue just started recently, like 4 days ago. I am going tomorrow to ask about it

Yes, because if it just started happening, maybe something is going on with their network

@tawdry totem do you have more than one ethernet outlet you can try?

tawdry totem

they dont block it to prevent outrage but you'll give up

Yeah, like at my school. They still find way to look deep into it

they match its pattern of traffic

but they lifted the vpn restriction a semester later

I tried vpn everywhere, but it kept killing my battery life

also, I didnt have anything to hide

that is very nice

here, we logon by username and password so

it doesn't even matter if you use vpn

they still know

tawdry totem

I also have to log in

And register my devices

little schooner
#

Thats also bad

#

they fingerprint you

#

@ancient vigil true, they wont see your actual traffic

#

but i guess they see when it started happening

#

this is a .00000001% edge case, but say you connected at 3am in the morning to destroy campus networks. The next morning they notice something is wrong and file police report. Police investigates "Okay who was connected at 3am in morning?" They find your mac or user/logon and... even though you did everything through VPN, they find out you are most likely a suspect

#

edge case dough.

#

hey, its good to be prepared for the real thing

I can try to explain.

I trust PIA so far. No issues with them.

Place I work IT for has a leased line with 6 IP addresses. We only use one currently. But I want to use another. I just plug a switch into the back of the modem right and then hook two routers to that. Then each router should be on a different IP right?

#

This is not an area of networking ive explored yet

waxen scroll
#

a leased line is not internet. so only you can answer that question because its your point A to B

#

you're responsible for the A and B sides, you run all equipment

#

the provider only allows your packets to go back and forth

#

@hollow marlin why so quiet lately

quick hollow
#

Well whatever it is.

#

We have internet. It comes in on a fiber line.

#

And we have a block of 6 IPS

#

And we are only use one. And I want to use more.

#

I can't for the life if me figure out how to make it work. I've been googling it all day and just get a bunch of rocket science.

#

Wish there was a simple way to just making a single computer use a different external IP

waxen scroll
#

so you can do that on your one router but it needs to be more than a consumer grade router

quick hollow
#

Yeah pretty sure it is.

waxen scroll
#

is it a cisco or something?

quick hollow
#

We got the fiber box coming in. That hooks to our cisco modem. That hooks to the router which is a Netgear router running DD-WRT

#

Been looking this up all day on the DD-WRT forums

waxen scroll
#

oof i havent used dd-wrt in years..... @clear igloo does dd-wrt multi-nat?

quick hollow
#

Something about 1:1 NAT or something. Couldn't figure it out

#

uuhh

clear igloo
#

Not sure, haven't touched it in forever

quick hollow
#

I really dont know

#

I was just going to try and put a gigabit switch between the router and the cisco modem and just plug the server I want to use into that switch.

#

Router is setup to use one IP

#

Server can be setup to use another I guess

waxen scroll
#

so in theroy that would work

#

probably better to make dd-wrt work though. i cant help with that though

#

LOL @clear igloo i see why hes having issues

#

its not even GUI?

clear igloo
#

oof

quick hollow
#

There is a GUI

#

But its not exactly brilliant

waxen scroll
#

i sort of understand what they're asking for but the problem is i havent seen it work myself and you might be breaking everything by doing it. so if you're not confident on networking or getting it back to where it was, its dangerous to do

quick hollow
#

We have two of these routers, one is a backup which is always on. Just have to hop the cables across

#

So i'm not too concerned with breaking it. Can always restore the config.

#

Have it saved as a file

#

But i'm not gonna break it right now with everyone using it.

carmine moss
#

I know on Cisco it's just 2 commands so it can't be impossible on DD-WRT

i dont have time right now but maybe we can discuss it in a while if nobody else helps. ill tag you. its really copy/paste but you seem like you need someone to look at what you're putting in

#

Alrighty thanks

#

But if all else fails. I think my hub between the modem and router plan will work.

#

What would be a good business router (not rack mounted)? Looking to upgrade this ancient one anyway.

#

Ubiquity Edgerouter?

little schooner
#

@quick hollow I have the Edgerouter and it easily supports multiple ips and nat

#

But I am looking at fortigate or a watch guard for next router

quick hollow
#

Which Edgerouter do you have?

#

Gonna buy an Edgerouter 4

#

Dont need anything special

#

Seems pretty soolid

little schooner
#

@quick hollow the er poe 5

#

Yeah get the smallest one they have

#

Is it the 4? That'll work fine

quick hollow
#

Right i'll order it. Thanks

#

Looks way more modern and easy to use than this ancient one.

little schooner
#

Nice

quick hollow
#

Very happying using ubiquity products. We use cloud key and ubiquity access points in all our warehouses/offices.

#

And I also have a cloud key and two ap pros at home too.

#

Might have to get Edgerouter 4 for home too.

little schooner
#

it does the job fairly nicely

quick hollow
#

We are actually buying the warehouse next to the one we currently own. I'm gonna install a ubiquity disk to beam the local network between the two buildings.

waxen scroll
#

@quick hollow so going through that article, what questions do you have

#

i think in general its easy to understand whats needed

quick hollow
#

Since i'm getting a new router now I think it best wait until I have that setup.

#

No point trying to figure out the ancient dd-wrt system now.

#

It should be pretty easy to map a different external IP to a single server on the Ubiquity right?

little schooner
#

by that, you mean like a port forward? or a NAT to an internal IP address that has a service running on a specific port?

#

I have a NAT that hits my WAN IP on router and it gets translated to hit internal VPN server on certain port

#

Now, if I could determine the source IP to be static as well, I could make another rule to send it to another server to the same port running the same service, since those would be two different rules

#

but I don't have that luxury

waxen scroll
#

i would assume its just as hard on ubnt

#

ubnt has a good userbase so usually weird crap like that is well documented

#

i mean i found an azure ipsec article for edgerouter sooooo

#

i wrote the original edgerouter internal storage expansion post myself

#

they have a weird userbase. lol

Ok I need some schooling on how guest firewalls work exactly and if I need one. I have a wireless network that currently allows you to connect to the ssid via password. Once you are on my network you have internet that is filtered by 3rd party and needs authentication otherwise it is heavily filtered. That part is easy.

Where I get lost is how can I have it so that my network is still not accessible unless they are a domain device? I think I am already set up this way I just inherited this network and want to ensure I have proper security in place. I have an older asa firewall that needs replacing and a separate for Fortinet guest firewall that I havenโ€™t renewed in some time now due to subscription costs. I am looking at Cisco firepower firewalls that have both guest and Wan channels.(might not be proper terminology) and Iโ€™m not sure if I even need this heavy of a firewall. We have 350 users and lots of guests at special events but all they need is internet and filtered heavily unless I give them specific access. If anyone can explain how I can allow someone to connect to my WiFi and they still not be able to be on my Wan I would appreciate it. If I havenโ€™t added it to the domain how are they not able to get in to my network is that the domain controller that handles that?

I am lost and itโ€™s probably because Iโ€™m over thinking this.

waxen scroll
#

you need a specific guest SSID. you need an AP system that supports CAPWAP which creates a tunnel through your network that you dont want them to access and drops them to the wireless controller which then drops it into a protected network segment meant for guests

#

this protected network segment would have its own WAN... like a comcast or something

#

i havent found a good image for this but this is close enough

#

what this image isnt showing is theres a tunnel on guest

#

i will warn you, many companies dont do this and just create a guest vlan with a guest SSID... they then put ACLs all over the place to let it ride the network with no tunnel praying nobody will compromise it

#

so be looking for both methods at your company to find out what they did

median ore
stiff panther
#

I feel lost

somber ermine
#

I know I have a guest vlan but my old filter was on premises and allowed us to authenticate to be moved into my networks vlan.

#

Now itโ€™s a vpn based filter so all of my internet goes out to this company that filters all internet making my process harder to get separate vlan access based on authentication of non domain devices.

@little schooner really?

#

an address is an address

waxen scroll
#

@little schooner im not sure what you're asking either

thorny vector
#

Maybe he means /30?

#

A /31 will only have a broadcast and network address

waxen scroll
#

a /31 has two host addys and thats it

#

i use them all the time โค๏ธ

thorny vector
#

No, a 30 has 2 host addresses. What you're doing is using the broadcast and network addresses of a /31 subnet, which means you can't do a lot of IP functions, like broadcast to that network, or address the network by it's network address

waxen scroll
#

and why do you think i would be using /31s over /30s? you answered my question huehuehue

#

theres no point to the waste of a /30 between two devices like a router and a router, or a layer 3 switch and a router

thorny vector
#

There is if you want to set up a routing statement towards it

waxen scroll
#

the routing tables import the first address of the /31

thorny vector

How? How many hosts do you have? Or is it public IP space?

waxen scroll

its a mix of private and public.... we have about 7000-8000 buildings worldwide. some of our WAN circuits have over 24000 subnets in the routing tables

thorny vector
#

I gotcha now

#

Fuck that

waxen scroll
#

their mistake was making an app in windows command line which reserved a HUGEEEEEEE chunk of private space because you enter a building number and it runs math to determine what subnet to use

its a big waste

Copied all the settings exactly from the old router.

This really sucks. Gonna have to come on the weekend to install it now :/

quick hollow

I just used the initial setup wizard. Set my gateway etc. I don't need to do anything else do I?

#

Ethernet port 0 has xxx.xxx.xxx.195/29 (dont wanna give out our IP on here)

Gateway is xxx.xxx.xxx.193

#

And I put in our DNS servers.

Honestly can't see what else needs to be done....

@quick hollow have you contacted your ISP to get them to recognize the new hardware?

carmine moss
#

Yeah it can take 30minuts or more depending on isp

quick hollow
#

Shouldn't need to since its just a router.

#

The cisco gateway hasn't changed

#

Or the fiber box

little schooner
#

@quick hollow it really should just work. I remember in my case, Comcast took a while to finally recognize it. Also, did you make sure it was on latest v1 firmware?

#

Not v2, v2 is beta like

quick hollow
#

uhhh

#

Ill check

#

Its on v1.10.7

little schooner
#

Upgrade it to 1.10.10

#

I think that is latest one

#

Yes it is latest one

#

If there is still problem, then having a config to read from will help us troubleshoot further

#

There is command for that... What was it...

quick hollow
#

To upgrade or to get he config?

#

I can get the config easy enough

#

Already saved a copy

little schooner
#

Upgrade first

#

And in cli, do "show configuration" and it should show you config in json format

#

After you've upgraded

quick hollow
#

Still I wont be able to test a fix until possibly the weekend. Can't have down time for testing during work hours.

little schooner
#

I see

quick hollow
#

Actually we do have a backup broadband line. Its not as fast as our fiber but I could throw the office on that while I test.

#

I dont know if it works though haha

#

I think we are paying for it still. But we are cancelling it soon since we can get like 200mbps on 4G outside our office so we are gonna use that as backup instead.

#

Interesting....

#

Updated the firmware and a dodgy route I noticed earlier has disappeared.

#

That might have been the issue.

#

I only ever put in my gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.193 and the primary IP I want to use xxx.xxx.xxx.195. For some reason before the update it had a route for xxx.xxx.xxx.192 which it added by its self and I don't think we have it. Pretty our range starts at 193. But its gone now.

i put my public domain key(DKIM) in my dns record but my mail is still not signed with DKIM

craggy parcel
#

Ain't the signing something you need to setup the mail server to do? Meaning inbound will be signed only if sending server is configured to sign it?

stiff panther
#

i set the dkim in the panel

#

DMARC passed

craggy parcel
#

What panel?

stiff panther
#

DKIM didnt

#

Virtuamin(Webmin)

#

i sent to my gmail account that is sent by my domain

#

but did not mention whos signed it

craggy parcel
#

Don't know how well Webmin/Virtualmin it does the job of configuring it.

#

And no signature in the headers?

stiff panther
#

it does say it was sent from my domain

#
mailed-by: *mydomain*
signed-by: nothing
#

this is driving me nuts

#

prob has something with the config of dkim

#

that virtualmin dev hasnt fixed

craggy parcel
#

Yeah, I'd check the docs for the mailserver, and the config files. If you have access to those...

stiff panther
#

yas got it signed

#

it was the config

#

edited the config and re generate and reloaded

Hi all , I have 1GB internet and I got 900-800mbps but on WiFi i got 400-500 on WiFi ac is this speed is ideal or not ?
Thanks

stiff panther
#

@hearty crescent good enough

spare bay
#

that sounds about right

#

it depends a lot on the model of your access point

#

the level of MIMO support will change what the theoretical max speed is

#

starting at about 400mbps at the low end

#

also interference, distance from AP, obstacles, etc

little schooner
#

@hearty crescent upgrade your wifi access points

hearty crescent
#

Thanks

pseudo blade
#

@hearty crescent If your devices won't use better than dual-chain ac wifi you probably won't get faster real-world speeds, so check on that before you throw money at better APs.

@waxen scroll I'm not sure who did it, but the prof's classroom router suddenly unplugged itself last night. That or it is some hardware bug.

Students have access to where the equipment is. I wonder if it was taken, but since I didn't check the room, I can't say for sure.

What I do know is that there is no longer a route from VPN to the classroom, and that the router in Datacenter lost physical Link with the class router, based on the logs

Okay so for the past year almost two years now my isp speeds are never reliable and my upload will cut out just about everytime I do a speed test at least 2-4times around peak hours for network usage 6pm-12pm I have even go to the fcc about it cause my isp has been saying its me maxing out my upload when Iโ€™m sitting here watching my network after directly hooking up to the modem and yesterday I started doing speed test at 2:51 PM directly connected up to the modem all the way up until like 5 AM which I have screenshots of if anybody wants to see those. If anyone could help point to where the issue/issues may be on my end and/or their end? Cause Iโ€™m at a loss and they seem to not know nor care. And before suggesting "why donโ€™t you get another isp" My isp is the only one for most people in my county for my state.

Guys for my dad to watch tv he needs our modem to be directly attached to that device (so no router in between), problem being we dont have an internet cable from our garage to our livingroom.. As such he bought AccessPoints with 2 ethernet ports so that he can watch tv. BUT these accesspoints dont have a router infront of them resulting in a 82.x.x.x address instead of 192.168.x.x , so when using these accesspoints for wifi u dont get an ip since there's no DHCP in place. So what I need is a cheap way to get internet from point A to B (through walls and whatnot) so that I can use those accesspoints for wifi instead of spending using these expensive things for a "virtual cable" or whatever u wanna call it.

#

It's just these accesspoints (2 of them with 1 master which is connected to the modem instead of the router so no dhcp) cost 300 euro's and its a rather expensive solution for watching tv xD

clear igloo
#

MoCA or powerline adapters would be your best bet depending on the age of the wiring inside the house and if coax exists in certain places that are optimal as well

sleek sphinx
#

As far as im aware there's no internet in the livingroom, at all

#

and when connecting to these accesspoints ur actually trying to get an IP from the provider resulting in (probably) no safety AT ALL

waxen scroll
#

@clear igloo lmao

sleek sphinx

since some devices actually got an IP like my dads phone which means i could prob get onto it using its WAN IP

Why no OM4?!?

we WAS gonna do OM1

i was like NO

sleek sphinx

@clear igloo he's using powerline adapters

but u cant use their wifi due to the problem of no proper dhcp

everything worked, even his obscure old software

took 1hr

normally i dont let customers of mine upgrade, we do clean

with this one i figured what the hell, his apps are gonna suck so lets try to upgrade

even the crap he put in C:\ ... still there after

Maybe a white list of known folders and anything else? Copy in

Also they do look at file extensions

@waxen scroll Do you think programs like Windows Live Mail with all their saved offline folders will transfer correctly, I still need to upgrade my parents their pc

so i cant see why mail wouldnt

@jagged latch also, you can take a system image in case

yeah , we did backups before this because i warned him it might blow and he didnt have recent backups anyway heh

#

Like this one time, my brother's storage controller completely failed after a backup was done

And the laptop was no more

Nice 80 bucks

#

That could cover my upgrade license fee

waxen scroll
#

win10 upgrades are still free

craggy parcel
#

@waxen scroll Where are the free licenses?

waxen scroll
#

its digital.

#

you download the tool on a win7 install thats already activated and you tell it to upgrade

#

once it boots into 10, the servers remember that computers fingerprint

#

futher installs can be done as "clean" and it will activate on first boot

craggy parcel
#

@waxen scroll As far as I know that was discontinued, for everyone but people having a need for "assistive technology", about a year after win 10 release

clear igloo
#

They said it was discontinued but it still works in most cases

craggy parcel
#

Maybe it still works, but it's not legally licensed version...

#

The question is, however, do MS care, that people do not pay for Windows 10, as long as MS get total control of their computers?

#

looks like comcast bumped up my download speed... again forgetting to increase upload <_<

#

I want my upload increased!

ornate jungle
#

What does your plan say you should have for upload? If it matches what you say you should get (or is close to) then you'll need to call and ask for the next plan up.

vapid dune
#

you need more fiber ๐Ÿ˜‰

ornate jungle
#

Or just DOCSIS 4.0 to be released, since it can do the same or more than gigabit fiber.

vapid dune
#

will it have the same latency?

ornate jungle
#

Depends on how your cable company rolls out their network, and how close you live to the headend, so technically latency will be a wee bit better on fiber yeah.

vapid dune
#

hmm they haven't even rolled out docsis 3.1 over here

#

oh "Previously branded as DOCSIS 3.1 Full Duplex, these technologies have been rebranded as part of DOCSIS 4.0"

#

I hope they deploy it soon

#

that and native ipv6

spare bay
#

does docsis 4.0 require neighbourhood upgrades?

vapid dune
#

I thought even 3.1 did

#

I assume every revision needs upgrading

#

then again fiber could go multi gig too lol

ornate jungle
#

depends on your cable company. if they've been proactive, all they'll need to do is upgrade the CMTS server (blade cards) serving each area. if they haven't been, well, they have a lot of work to do.

vapid dune
#

I think when they pulled fiber to this building they left a bunch of dark fiber

hasty bluff
#

@half pond What are your WAN settings? Dynamic or static IP? PPPoE?

stiff panther
#

I'm trying to install Discourse behind nginx, But this error came up.

little schooner
#

@ornate jungle for me, Comcast only lists download speed and not upload speed

#

Only by calling or live chat will they tell you upload speed

#

Why is this practice even allowed

#

It should be illegal

#

@ornate jungle so supposedly, they support docsis3.1 here but that's only for people with high tier internet packages

#

But the network support is here.

#

Again, they are just charging like this because there isn't any fiber company here

quick hollow
#

Okay got my edgerouter working finally for internet and the main network.

#

Now I tried to setup 1:1 NAT for a static IP onto a separate server

#

eth0 is our incoming WAN.
eth1 goes to our main network.
eth2 is what I want to use for my secondary server.

#

So I configured eth2 to use 10.0.0.1/24

#

I went into eth0 and added another static IP.

#

I went to firewall policies and added another WAN_IN rule. Destination is 10.0.0.25 which is my server. Set to allow all protocols.

#

Then went to NAT and added a source rule. Source 10.0.0.25 (my server) and translation to the other static IP I added.

#

Then destination rule the other way around , source the second static IP and destination is 10.0.0.25.

#

Did I do it correctly?

waxen scroll
#

basically yes, especially if it works. the eth2 wasnt necessary and you may want to rethink depending on what the server does

#

normally that kind of separation is OK and preferred, but since your operation is small that server might be doing more than just webhosting

quick hollow
#

tbh its my own game server. CEO is letting me put it into the server room.
