@waxen scroll the supervisor here said I could be hired for a job

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

🤔

little schooner Aug 3, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

I can make money now!

#

There's two positions open here but I have to hand my resume to her at the end of day

#

@waxen scroll I knew working with prof for this long would eventually lead to something

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

but @little schooner you're already close to graduation and will need a 100K/yr job

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

need? o.O

south blade Aug 3, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

Is it bad to update pfBlockerNG, if I haven't updated PFSense to the newest version? :/

#

I'm afraid of something screwing up in the update, that's why I haven't done the PFSense update.

@thick minnow How's that Totalplay? My grandma needs internet but she's in a small town in Guerrero, not sure if it's available there. The prices sound good if I'm converting this right. LOL, better than the US.

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

@vapid dune going to university in 2020? better get that\ 100k

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

o.O I don't get it

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

school is more expensive than ever

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

oh

#

I didn't pick up on that. I'm from Canada

#

hmm anyone know if they make ethernet usb c adapters that can charge your phone at the same time

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

cant say C but regular usb they do. i have one

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

oh? what does regular look like

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

its basically a 3 port USB hub with an ethernet jack at the end

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

wait so you supply power to the hub and it powers your phone?

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

yes.. but the hub gets its power from your computer

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

oh

#

what I'm looking for is power and ethernet are inputs, and the output is a USB with power/ethernet to the device

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

im not aware of ethernet working on phones... does it? i wonder what a chromecast charger would do... i think the new ones are USB-C?

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

hmm

@waxen scroll home network and its persisted through a full factory reset of windows

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

maybe it's not a windows problem...

#

are they using anything like pihole on their network?

#

have you tried hardcoding the DNS server to something like 8.8.8.8 on the particular machine to test?

woven jay Aug 3, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Fixed it my friend was having the issue and it was the antennas on the back of the motherboard for the wireless card being a little loose

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

o.O use wired! lol

woven jay Aug 3, 2020, 9:05 PM

@vapid dune do you mean PoE

#

So like Powering a Google Home Mini from Microusb while providing Ethernet data?

vapid dune Aug 3, 2020, 9:11 PM

huh that's not PoE

#

but yeah powering my phone and supplying ethernet

@waxen scroll I'll work my way up but I barely have experience

#

Documented except internship

waxen scroll Aug 3, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

@hollow marlin so you could say Xeon is an undocumented worker

#

little schooner Aug 4, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

@waxen scroll I think I made typo. By documented I meant like, work that wasn't internship or free. Though I still include it on my resume

Howdy folks.

Just got my Nighthawk, the R6700. heard so many good things about them and was excited to try and pair it with my BGW210-700 AT&T modem. Downloaded the app then followed the setup instructions to a T; However halfway into the "quick setup" I noticed I could connect to the router's network yet I wasn't "connected" if that makes any sense? I've been doing some troublshooting/research(Google/other subreddits)but I couldn't find much of anything relating to my issue. Tried it on multiple devices and nope, still some variation of "connected, no internet"... Been trying to figure this thing out through the night but no luck, not sure what else to do. I'm by no means tech-savy when it comes to networking so there's probably a simple solution I'm overlooking but that's why I'm here. Any feedback would be appreciated.

#

Just some extra information, during the setup it requires you to connect the router to the modem via Ethernet and it tells you to use the "wan/Internet" port on your nighthaeky; doing that gives me the afformentioned issue BUT when I plug it in to one of the 4 other ports I can connect to the router and use the internet just fine, but neither routerlogin.net/com or the nighthawk app recognize the network. It'll tell me "you may not be connected to your routers wifi network" or "connect to NETGEAR## and try again.

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

its possible the BGW210-700 needs to be put into bridge mode. im not sure if you can do it or if you have to call ATT.

clear igloo Aug 4, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

You can do it on yourself, it's called Passthrough mode

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

wonder if pppoe has anything to do with the problem

#

if its on with the netgear but the modem isnt bridged maybe thats why

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

Hm, gonna try to bridge the modem

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Nope, still no luck unfortunately

#

Maybe I missed a step, or did something wrong? Researched how to put the bgw210-700 in bride mode and the internet says to disable home & guest ssid, select passthrough->dhpc-fixed->select router-> save then hard reset everything

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

hard reset would put it back into non-bridge, wouldnt it?

#

@hollow marlin muh DSL expert

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

Oh. By hard reset I meant I just unplugged everything then plugged it back in

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

is this DSL or fiber?

#

if fiber did you try the firewall disable like on this website?

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

It's fiber

#

But yeah that's the guide I followed

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

maybe factory reset the netgear then. perhaps a setting got screwed up

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Still nothing. Should I restore the modem's default settings and ask att to bridge it?

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

is it plugged into port 1 on the BGW?

#

no idea if it will help but sometimes thats how it works

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

Nah it was port4 but I'll give it a try

#

Still nothing

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

👺

#

when you configured the netgear when you first logged in, what kind of questions did it ask for the internet?

autumn sky Aug 4, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

Nothing regarding the internet, it just had me setup a netgear account.

#

During "quick setup" the app told me to plug in the router via Ethernet, connect to the router network and "boom" you're good to go

is this why i can't connect to my GCP server

📎 Screenshot_108.png

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:14 PM

?

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:15 PM

port forwarding is off

#

or "ip"

#

i assume they're the same

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

assume what?

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

ip forwarding and port forwarding are the same

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

no

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

ok

#

so then what is ip forwarding

#

i just want to be able to connect to my GCP server but the ip isn't working

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/using-routes#canipforward

#

o.O have you tried fixing the firewall

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

i have

#

but it's not working

#

well i added a rule

#

idk if i did it right

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

what's not working?

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

or if that's enough

#

the ip

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

what do you mean? "the ip"

#

it's pingable.

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

im running a server on the VM but i can't connect to it

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:19 PM

try harder? 😄

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

you said "it's pingable"

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

yes

#

as in I can ping it.

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

what

#

i just pinged it and it timed out

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:20 PM

even the ssh port is open

OpenSSH 8.2p1 Ubuntu 4ubuntu0.1

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:22 PM

what ip

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

the one literally in your screenshot o.O

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

there is 2

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

the one that says "external"

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

yeah ok

#

if i open cmd

#

and ping it

#

it times out

vapid dune Aug 4, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

sounds like your home network is broken. I'd get that checked

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

could it be a firewall thing

#

on my pc

waxen scroll Aug 4, 2020, 8:04 PM

Firewalls @gilded ice apply! HUEHUEHUE

little schooner Aug 4, 2020, 8:40 PM

@waxen scroll not bad

gilded ice Aug 4, 2020, 9:58 PM

i was able to fix the issue

#

it was something with the server

@thick minnow If it's just Minecraft why not just port-forward 25565 for that VM and call it a day?

#

I mean you wouldn't be forwarding Unraid.

#

You'd be forwarding/exposing Minecraft. The security concerns involved would be of the minecraft server itself, not Unraid.

@chrome hound So is the juniper switch just for monitoring and such?

delicate drift Aug 5, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

Hi guys any help? What is a default gateway?

rare glade Aug 5, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

its the ip address of your router. your computer sends traffic to the default gateway to get to the internet

chrome hound Aug 5, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

@rocky badge no it just one of the devices that can handle 10gb, we monitor using Zabbix via ping/SNMP and other heath checks

rocky badge Aug 5, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

ah

#

nice

chrome hound Aug 5, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

they have others, they are just more expensive options

delicate drift Aug 5, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

@rare glade thank you

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

@rocky badge Its AE (Active Ethernet). Its really just a dedicated fiber to each ONT. We have about a 70/30 AE/GPON and I like AE but its expensive as hell compared to GPON but you get full gig/10gig link. In the video the Juniper is just there as an access switch but the model they used is way overpriced

#

@chrome hound There are plenty of Calix and Adtran 10gig alternatives ONTs that are way cheaper than a 2300-c. And seeing how they did a fiber handoff they could of just handed it directly to him

chrome hound Aug 6, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

@hollow marlin get really good pricing as we are treated as a government entity

#

sure we could have handed him a direct fiber hand off, but that removes our abilities to monitor

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

We're Juniper partners and 2300-c is still $750 at cost to us. I can get a Calix 10gig for less than half that

chrome hound Aug 6, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

our pricing was around 600 ish

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

Monitor at the blade? Why is a remote device needed

chrome hound Aug 6, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

but we are also using these in multi tenant installs

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

Thats a whole different situation

chrome hound Aug 6, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

yep but we have a lot of setups to content with

#

in a lot of cases the 12 port copper ports would be divided off to 12 customers in a business park setup

#

or we would drop in a Nokia, it just depends on the setup with QinQ at the end points

#

most of our true residential setups we use a Zhone simple device, fiber to Copper conversion

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

We are full Ciena for multi-tenant deployments. We only will deploy SRX/EX for HPBX setups but for multi-tenant and Juniper's terrible power loss reliability, nah, Ciena only

chrome hound Aug 6, 2020, 4:54 AM

#

to each there own

#

so far up time been awesome, I have a juniper for my 10g connection, no complaints here

#

https://www.speedtest.net/result/d/7ab4e5da-d1fd-4de2-a3f2-fb269265b294.png

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

Our core is all Juniper with around 15k HPBX deployments, I love Juniper, but throwing a single power supply with terrible power loss reliability providing service for 12 customers is terrible IMO. 1 customer, sure, 2+ def no

#

Uptime is not the problem

chrome hound Aug 6, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

well it all depends on the deployment

#

maybe I miss typed but Nokia is pretty typical for multi tenant deployements

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

It is but Ciena has been on its tail over the last 2 years as Verizon began pushing it, so did most. Us as well as 5 other providers all moved to Ciena for multi-tenant and metro-e

#

The last provider in my region I know of dumped Nokia about a year ago.

#

Hi!

cedar igloo Aug 6, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

hello?

little schooner Aug 6, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

so... I don't remember if I was taught this, but if I have a Cisco switch that is capable of L3 operation, it is mandatory to specify a port-channel interface to be configured either switchport or no switchport before interfaces can be added to an LACP channel group. Is that correct?

#

@rocky badge hey do you use any NFS shares in your esxi environment?

rocky badge Aug 6, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

@little schooner Yeah

#

I'm just testing with NFS

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

@little schooner switchportvsno switchport does not matter when the interface are added. The moment they are added they inherit the PO configuration. Switchport and it'll be a typical port-channel, no switchport and it'll be a L3 port channel

little schooner Aug 6, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

@rocky badge I am trying to figure how I can deploy template VMs from an NFS share

rocky badge Aug 6, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

🤔

little schooner Aug 6, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

because it doesn't let me pick NFS datastore to pick a VM to clone

#

@hollow marlin what is PO again?

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

abbreviation for port channel

little schooner Aug 6, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

oh

#

@hollow marlin hmm. So last night I tried it on cisco ws-4948 and it kept giving me error when I added G1/17 and g1/18 to port-channel, then did int range g1/17-18, and tried to specify channel-group 1 mode active

#

it said an error such as...

#

let me find it

#

@hollow marlin command rejected (port channel1 gi1/17 ): either port is L2 and port channel is L3 or vice-versa.

waxen scroll Aug 6, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

@little schooner if the Po exists already you need to make the port config exactly like it

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Worst comes to worst run default int gi1/17

little schooner Aug 6, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

hm

hollow marlin Aug 6, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

You can do it on both to make sure but will default it to a basic switchport

little schooner Aug 6, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

@waxen scroll oops... i think i did make the port channel interface first before letting it automatically doing it

#

@hollow marlin ahh... i knew there had to be a command to reset the int config

#

can't believe i didn't remember that default

#

ahhh lol

#

okay it seemed to have worked now

#

thanks @hollow marlin and @waxen scroll

#

@rocky badge Ultimately, I would like to keep my VM master templates on NFS share, and then, in the GUI of vCenter, I can do New > VM from template. Then, it should show my NFS datastore as location to browse for VM templates to clone from

#

though im getting the feeling that this isn't what NFS share purpose is for esxi

#

unless it has to be within a Content library, which was something i am going to research

waxen scroll Aug 6, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

@clear igloo i should bait the networking forum with a hard issue

When I tried , the admin panel says that there is already the TXT record for my www, and I need to keep that TXT record for ownership domain verification

@vapid dune Do you have a few minutes to help me in detail ?

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

https://serverfault.com/questions/834320/adding-both-cname-and-txt-dns-records-for-one-subdomain

#

just switch to A/AAAA instead of cname

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

@vapid dune In short I need CNAME to point out that the website is hosted on google sites ( ghs.googlehosted.com ) and the TXT to verify that I own the domain. I do have A and AAAA records here, but they are pointing to the IPs. I am a total noob where it comes to the domain management and the website was working fine, but google changed the "sites" and now the "classic sites' are converted to new ones, which does have a different setup than before.

#

@vapid dune Can I PM you with some screenshots so you could help me in detail? I bet that it will be way faster if you just tell me what to type and where 🙂

I think you have the confused, you can't add a DNS entry for a domain you don't own, so is ghs.googlehosted.com where you need to forward your CNAME to?

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

@chrome hound The domain provider is the HOME.PL , I am on their admin panel page and I'm trying to link the www.acdelektronik.pl to the google sites website

#

https://support.google.com/sites/answer/9068867

Use a custom URL for your site - Sites Help

You can use your custom URL with a site on new Google Sites by creating a web address mapping.
Step 1: Check that you own your URL Go to google.com/webmasters/verificatio

#

I have the step 1 done, and the page verified

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

I mean they probably might not let you have a cname be your root record

#

you're trying to set it for whole domain?

#

ie foobar.com and txt record is on @ ?

#

I mean the google instructions say to create the cname for www

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

on TXT I have the TEXT VALUE ( google-site-verification=------------------ ) , and HOST ( www. ) .acdelektronik.pl

#

and that's what made the google work fine for the verification , I'm 99% sure that the TXT is ok

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

is the txt on www?

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

yes , that's what google wants

#

I think

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

it shouldn't be

#

the txt is on @ or blank

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

the website doesn't allow me to use blank , so I should change it to @ ?

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

you can also verify using a different method

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

the different method was CNAME , but I couldn't get that working

#

just tried and I can't make it @ or blank in the TXT

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

where's your domain hosted?

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:50 AM

whoops it says "home.pl" above

#

yeah can't help you there it's not in english LOL

#

wait do you own your own domain?

#

it's not like a sub domain you're using is it?

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

no, home.pl is a domain host like godady or domain.com

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

ah okay

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

I can add normal CNAME , A, AAAA and TXT records here, but can't use blank

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

can you put your domain instead of blank or @ in that case?

#

just put foobar.com (where that is your domain)

#

maybe they want FQDN instead of a relative prefix lol

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

📎 TXT.png

#

only the "www" works in that read area, and google says it's fine for verification

#

so for TXT I think that www will be ok , and I need to know how to add the ghs.googlehosted.com for the CNAME

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Yeah but you can't have www and cname

#

They can't coexist

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

Can I have more than one CNAME ?

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Not on the same subdomain

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

📎 Google-CNAME.png

#

📎 CNAMEaltmethod.png

#

This is the "alt" CNAME method from google on how to verify

#

@vapid dune I'm not fully sure which text I should paste in which field, and should I include the domain name or not

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

you need to create a CNAME www. that points to the FQDN of the goole host name

#

text records and CNAME are seperate entried in DNS

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

The top 2 screenshots is all what I have to make the verification working

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

box 2 should be the google URL

#

host is your choice, www bob myuncle

#

you posted it up before, I am jsut to lazy to scroll up to it

#

I am forgetting the term, but basicly you are saying this host is really over hear on this FQDN

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

So it should be like this ??

📎 CNAMEal.png

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

host should just be www

#

you still probably need the text record so goolge can keep validating you are the domain owner

#

but its a separate record

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

If I make it just www. for verification, than I can't use the www for ghs.google.com.

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

I might be mistaking, but I don't think you need www for the verification text record

#

Google searches your TEXT records in your DNS and looks for there code and if it finds it, it says yep you have control

#

and just FYI DNS entries like this are public, so blacking that out and posting your domain doesn't stop any one from looking up the FQDN you have blacked out there

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

I had the TXT working but TXT is linked to WWW and google also needs the ghs.google.com. linked to WWW ( which can't be both done at the same time ) Google gave me the alt method with CNAME , ( screenshot above ) so I can piint it to ... rxxxxxl.www instead of www ?

#

ok, looks like I got it working that way

#

there is only one problem left

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

but I don't think you have to use up www for your text record it can just point to host, so use the @ symbol

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

@ is not allowed

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

ok every DNS service is a little different poke around there help pages and see if they use another symbol to represent the domain host

#

but I am pretty sure google is jsut scanning all your TXT records looking for the key

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

just got it working with a separate CNAME so not a big deal

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

well it should work with any cname really, it just depends on yoru needs and use case

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

One last thing www.webstie.com , works fine, but the website.com ( without www ) points out to the domain host.

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

I found this guide on DNS records types that might help explain there use a little better

carmine ferry Aug 7, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

How can I fix that ?

chrome hound Aug 7, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

I am not sure you can, that base host may not let you point to a FQDN

#

but if you can change it, there should be a host record entry see if it lets you change from the IP to the google FQDN

#

but that will effect all of your DNS entries so anything using a dynamic pointer (the @ sign) will change from your IP to the FQDN

vapid dune Aug 7, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

iunno I have my domain on cloudflare

You can just use other ways of authentication...

There used to be no restriction over ESNI and DoH
So people with the knowledge of enabling ESNI+DoH with a Firefox browser basically gets unfiltered results

hollow marlin Aug 10, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

Well now that ESNI is being blocked I don't see how that is of any benefit.

#

GFWC has the one best engineered IPS ever made and the last podcast I listened to explained how TLS 1.3 was just to much for modern hardware at the moment and this was predicted months ago

foggy thunder Aug 10, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

not that "TLS1.3 was too much"

#

if you view it from the cost effectiveness, you can see why

#

SNI-based HTTPS RST attack can be pinpoint accurate, with minimal collateral damage

#

ESNI denied this type of attack
So the solution is to switch off ESNI entirely

once I ran 5 more cables outside, things were basically the way I wanted it

fast, no delay communication

#

i stuffed it inside of the soffit

either the tenda nova mw3-3 or the mercusys halo

#

and okay, i’m either gonna have three or four boxes. does it work for majority of homes? i don’t know much about it, but the setup would be one in the living room (near our current router), one in my conservatory (other side of the house), one in my bedroom which is about halfway in between the living room and the conservatory but a floor above, and if we buy four one in my parents room

they remove old isos and you cant update to a certain windows version, say if you're on 1604 and want to update to 1703 it will force you to update to 2004. its a fucking pain in the ass and i dont get why they do it, honestly windows 7 is so much better

Windows 7 is not "so much better". Its worse in every single way. None of the fun and modern stuff work on it well and requires more external installations

hey guys not sure if this belongs here or not, I am looking for a replacement SAN for my aging NetApp mainly I am using ProxMox with NFS shares, so I am trying to match the same share to make my life easer, I am also on a budget so I was looking towards freenas, but have 0 experience with it

vapid dune Aug 12, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

I guess you want to move from SAN to NAS?

#

depends on your budget I would say, but FreeNAS is pretty nice in my limited to FreeNAS experience

chrome hound Aug 12, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

tbh I am not sure I understand the difference between SAN and NAS, it more than likely I am all ready in a NAS setup since I am not using any iSCSI targets off the NetApp, its all via NFS shares

#

so with freenas does it let you have NFS shares?

little schooner Aug 12, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

@chrome hound yes

#

SAN is literally just a network dedicated for storage traffic and rules

#

If for some reason there is too much performance penalty for coexisting with the regular access layer network

vapid dune Aug 12, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

if you just want a bunch of disks with redundancy/integrity and some folders with permissions/shares/etc then freenas is a fine choice imo

#

especially if you just buy some used server hardware and throw in an HBA card lol

chrome hound Aug 12, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

ok I see, so I wouldn't say I have dedicated switches, but I do have dedicated Vlans and Nic ports on each ProxMox server, where the data traffic is separated to a different port and vlan

Trying to decide on which router to get. We have probably about 15 devices and I wasnt sure which 1 to get right now I'm using the spectrum factory modem and router and my internet keeps dropping like every 15 min. So I was thinking it was the router. If yall could, which 1 would be the best.

fastest speeds but also being able to connect to lots of devices

rotund tendon Aug 14, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

@waxen scroll

little schooner Aug 14, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

@rotund tendon the first one has the latest ax wifi technology

#

but it might be too bleeding edge

#

The last one looks well established and highest ac speed

rotund tendon Aug 14, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

Bleeding edge?

little schooner Aug 14, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

@rotund tendon well because I think those hardware don't have wifi 6E support yet

#

it only has early 802.11ax support

#

it will be obsolete soon is what im saying

#

WiFi 6 is definitely an improvement if your home has a bunch of wifi 6 clients

rotund tendon Aug 14, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

Not sure if we do

little schooner Aug 14, 2020, 12:52 AM

its fine to go with the AC one to save on cost

its still a good value

The ac x6 is 230 at Walmart

undone cedar Aug 14, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

what speed would i be getting 0 ping on while other people in my house are on zoom calls, watch netflix at most 10 devices while still having enough devices for parties so about 30-40

#

is there a specific router good for that

#

@little schooner ?

little schooner Aug 14, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

@undone cedar I wouldn't use any consumer-grade router for that purpose. 0 ping is also unattainable. There is always going to be some delay. A couple of unifi AC lites or AC pros and bandwidth shaping rules at the router for upload and download speeds should make for a good experience with that many people.

#

Consumer grade routers err more on the side of giving the best speeds for a few clients

undone cedar Aug 14, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

Is there anything that would be close to 0 ping

#

maybe like less than 10 at least

#

cause right now i have about 30 and i have a 100gbs speed wifi

#

what speed would that be?

#

and how many eithernet ports are on there

little schooner Aug 14, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

@undone cedar so that's the thing, they operate as it's own unit. It's not an all in one unit like those routers

#

This just has a single port and one up link

#

You use a separate switch or router

undone cedar Aug 14, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

oh then idk

#

i kinda want a one unit routeer

#

cause the instalation is much easier

little schooner Aug 14, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

@undone cedar I see

undone cedar Aug 14, 2020, 1:16 AM

i would need at least 4 eithernet ports

3 can have low speed although one should be fairly fast

vapid dune Aug 14, 2020, 1:20 AM

Yeah APs are the way to go for coverage and reliability

#

Not exactly impressive speeds.... But decent latency... What is the height of the transmitters?

glossy tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

550km for the satellites idk for the router itself

craggy parcel Aug 14, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

I wasn't sure if it was sattelites, drones, balloons or whatever people experiment with. 😉

glossy tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

I think others satellite provider are about 5mb/s max (don't quote me on that) with 500ms of ping

craggy parcel Aug 14, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

So it's a very low orbit, which explains the low latency. 😉

hollow marlin Aug 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

I think the latency issue with more that it had hop satellites during transit, where starlink doesn't.

glossy tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Yep and that's only with a small part of total constellation

#

@hollow marlin they're using lasers between them and phased array radio for ground to sat communication

craggy parcel Aug 14, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Apparently the speed for just about any provider, depends on the number of users sharing the bandwidth.. But services with similar possible speeds seems to have the bandwidth to support similar speeds.

glossy tiger Aug 14, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

I guess they'll make multiple ground stations in like big cities to have enough bandwidth

#

Then it's spread out to the entire constellation to choose their routes

craggy parcel Aug 14, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

Also I seem to remember, that latency of about 150-300ms is normal for higher orbits, as they you need 4 times the distance to the satellite for the signal to get to the destination and back. It also appears that the lowest orbit before Starlink was about 8000 km, while Starlink is 550km.. That's a BIG increase in distance, and latency. 😉

waxen scroll Aug 14, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

can confirm 300ms. old job had a satellite base station

#

forgot whose satellite we rented channels from WaitWhat

#

also idk what spacex is doing but any time anything broadcasted on that channel it was sent all over to 100s of sites

#

using SSH was baaaaad

#

i think each satellite has a small zone it services to reduce that problem but I think that means in areas where people are going "screw comcast" it'll actually suck as more people load it up

#

the farm areas wont have issues

the drive should be good to use then. I would mark it though for being a potential problem down the road though. I had a 500gb drive that about every 2-3 years I would have to zero it out - have it mark the bad sectors. lasted 12 years. before finally just dieing. sadly it took music that I spent 3 years ripping from CDs with it but meh.

@little schooner now the speed is limited by the disk itself, not by the interface. so it would make sense because hard drives can become even faster

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 2:46 PM

If the networks aren’t firewalled off, you should be able to talk to the NAS just fine.

#

Try troubleshooting with IP addresses only. Once you get that working, then worry about accessing the server with a DNS name and work that out last.

@waxen saddle See i have setup my nas and my router such that i can access my nas anytime as long as i am connected to my network somehow! But now my neighbour who already has his own network wants to access my nas! (I am not that comfortable to grant him access to my network, and hence i want him to only access my nas via a guest login only)

little schooner Aug 15, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

@final canopy guest wifi on those routers sometimes have a setting that prevents same network client-to-client interaction. Is it enabled?

#

If it is, that will block your neighbor from accessing it

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

no i have all the setting checked as far as i know theres nothing such firewall enabled.

little schooner Aug 15, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

@final canopy does it work if you create another Ssid that isn't part of a guest network?

#

What router do you have, make and model?

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

i have installed a network card and have run cat6 line from my nas to his house and he connects it to his system when he needs access to my nas but this isnt a viable solution!

little schooner Aug 15, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

@final canopy yeah I wouldn't even allow such a thing

#

That's a no go for me too

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

many times my nas just refuses to grant him access and the only way to fix that is to restart which being on a off the shelf hardware takes a long time!

Can your network handle VLAN?

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

@waxen saddle not sure how to setup one!

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:26 PM

That’s literally the only way to make this work unless you want to set up a 2nd network tier.

VLAN + Firewall or get a 2nd router.

#

It is

little schooner Aug 15, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

@final canopy you sure it isn't just locking his user account due to failed sign in attempts?

#

It's weird how a restart suddenly fixes that

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

@little schooner no no thats not the case cause i just made an account specially for him on freenas ! which allows him to read and copy files off the nas but has no write permission

little schooner Aug 15, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

I see

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

and he uses that very account to login

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:29 PM

VLAN won’t solve that problem though.

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

no theres no failed signin issues

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Is he using it as a network drive? Or through the web interface?

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

all that there is with my current setup is that it randomly cuts off the access between the nas and his system and as soon as i restart the problem is gone!

#

Is he using it as a network drive? Or through the web interface?
@waxen saddle windows network drive

“Network connection has not been restored”?

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

right now my nas is getting a harddrive upgrade but when its working it shows green and i and my neighbour both can access without any issue

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Right. That screenshot shows you are using DNS to resolve the IP address. I’m wondering if, when the drive becomes inaccessible to your neighbor, if “Freenas” is pingable. If not, can he ping it by IP address?

#

I’m also not sure how he is plugged in to your network. Is the cat6 cable plugging in to his network?

#

Go ahead and finish the drive upgrade and we can go from there.

little schooner Aug 15, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

Try connecting with ip address only. Freenas isn't going to be a name neighbor will be able to resolve with a DNS server having record pointing to your freenas instance, especially if it doesn't have a domain name

#

There is such thing as mDNS though, for local DNS resolution

#

I think that process is automatic and why he was able to connect a few times in the first place

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

RIGHT NOW

ROUTER
TO (USING CAT 6 )
NAS
(using motherboard integrated network card)
Then
(using another addon network card)
i ran a CAT 6 cable
which goes to my neighbour house
And he then connects it to his main system and voila he has access to my nas

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

The NIC with the CAT 6 going to your neighbor, does it have a static IP address?

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

The NIC with the CAT 6 going to your neighbor, does it have a static IP address?
@waxen saddle it just detects to his system as a normal lan network with dynamic IP

#

but only thing he can access is my nas nothing else not even the internet using this cable

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

Right.

#

The next time he loses access, go ahead and hop on here so we can help troubleshoot.

waxen saddle Aug 15, 2020, 3:48 PM

Ignore everything I said about VLAN or what not, your current setup should be decently "secure"

#

lol @little schooner

final canopy Aug 15, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

it might be secure but not painless

#

Let's shoot the trouble
@little schooner heck yeah!

Go ahead and finish the drive upgrade and we can go from there.
@waxen saddle i think this would be much easy when the upgrades are done

Hello Everypeoples

#

So... here's been a headscratcher for the past few months. LAN transfers are much slower than WAN. Internet speed reaches 480 Mbps but the LAN transfers barely brake 200.... tried Samba and FTP, and Samba is fastest at 200 MBbps, IPERF maxes around 150 Mbps
tried that auto tuning fix and that made everything really slow, and limited my internet to 220 Mbps
Windows 10 on both machines, using dedicated 802 AC access point, which shouldn't be an issue as I am reaching at least 450 on Wifi (400 on desktop due to distance/interference from router)

waxen scroll Aug 17, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

480 over LAN to the internet or 480 from the modem

azure bramble Aug 17, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

480 Mbps from internet

#

150-200 Mbps LAN machine to LAN machine

#

For purposes of discussion, primary router which has the AC dedicated network both PCs are connected to is a Archer C9

little schooner Aug 17, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

480 mbps, doesn't that sound like 1x1 antenna max throughput or something?

azure bramble Aug 17, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

480 is the max they set for speed, its 400 Mbps service with 20% overage due to issues

wired to the modem has the same speed

@azure bramble Is QoS enabled?

azure bramble Aug 17, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

No, I use the NAT boost on the network

#

I don't do much throughput normally so QOS doesn't affect conflicting services

#

I found with QOS, my speed decreased overal

plain siren Aug 17, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Is there something related to "Shaping" as an option in the router

little schooner Aug 17, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

@azure bramble well yeah, thats its job

#

to take away control from just one client using all the bandwidth

azure bramble Aug 17, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

Yeah, thats why I don't use QOS as my normal throughput from my other sources aren't significant

plain siren Aug 17, 2020, 4:57 PM

QoS shouldnt interfere with LAN transfers normally, although these damn consumer routers like to do wild shit

#

I usually have a special segment for my ethical hacker stuff

little schooner Aug 17, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

qos also almost always disables the offloading of packets, which reduces the throughput you can reach

#

if the cpu isnt fast enough, qos will always be slower

plain siren Aug 17, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

QoS can also choke up on its own CPU clogging

which is funny to watch

oh wait only just saw the screenshot it's 650 / 200 huh

#

try a different server... you're consistently using the same server that's 100km away

@waxen scroll So, I was looking at some more networking jobs, and came across one position at a college and they required that the candidate supports and maintains networking stuff related to EVPN, VXLAN, BGP, Packet/label switching, and some other stuff. And demand that you lead disaster recovery scenarios and know ruby scripting

#

well I cant say ive played with EVPN, VXLAN or packet label switching

#

evpn looks cool for what it does

#

idk if I really want to do too much of the advanced stuff. it seems like a lot of responsiblity and danger if something goes wrong..... if the company doesn't practice ITIL

Is there a way to patch together 4 incoming internet connections into one? I have speed limited by MAC address and was wondering if somehow patching them together could get a faster combined speed.

waxen scroll Aug 20, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Nope. Best you can do is split the load per computer for a max speed of just one of those links

I have a question if anyone can answer please help me. I currently own 1 modem and it is downstairs and I am all the way upstairs so to get a signal i use a wireless extender and connect it with an ethernet cable into my pc. I get roughly 18 PING. And I was wondering if i got a new modem and put it upstairs in my room next to my pc, and connected it to ethernet with no other devices taking bandwith up on my wifi. What ping would I roughly get? Could i reach lower than 5 or 5 at least?

vapid dune Aug 20, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

Ping to what

#

And why does it need to be lower

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

@robust owl On WIFI the best you can do ping wise to your Router is about 4-9 ms if you engineer the environment correctly

#

the offset between your router and your modem will be between 0.086 ms (when the router is actually the modem) and 0.500 ms (when the router is a seperate box)

#

so between 0.086 ms and 0.500 ms

#

if you want to fix your ping over WIFI, don't use a WIFI extender. The ping time between your first AP to your extender will be roughly between 4-9 ms, while the ping time between your second wireless device (the WNIC in your computer) will also be between 4-9 ms.

#

if your modem is downstairs and I assume you have the router plugged right into it. Look for coax cables and try to do MOCA over COAX, this will probably be the simplest solution for you

#

ping time across internal COAX cables range between less than 1 ms to over 15 ms depending the quality of the run

currently installing sftp cabling in my new home.. finding some conflicting info on whether or not to ground the cables at end points. I got some cables from a patch panel to wall sockets and some keystones (in ceilings). Got my patch panel grounded to the main grounding point of the building.. apparently you can cause ground loops if you ground endpoints (?) but some threads I find are telling me to ground end point as well. any expert here? :)

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

the offical standard for CAT has support the grounding of the signal

#

it just needs to be grounded somewhere. In the patch panel, a switch which is properly ground, something it interacts with has to be grounded

#

otherwise the electrons that are responsible for transfering your data simply won't move

#

now if you opt to allow your equipment itself to handle the grounding (you can do that), usually you need to put a Line Conditioner -> Backup Power -> Network Equipment

#

most Backup Power solutions (usually a UPS) have surge protection as well

@topaz quarry not sure that's entirely true, a simple UTP cable isn't grounded at all

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

without a sink, electrons don't move

#

your drain wire is your ground

lime rampart Aug 20, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

ah right, I see the confusion, this is more about the grounding of the cable shieldings (they can act as antenna and get some voltage differences)

#

especially since I am running the networking right next to my electrical

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:18 AM

you don't want jamacian music intruding in your packet transfers

:D way to spice up your data packets lol

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

lol i find it amazing that even in 2020 if i don't ground speakers correctly I get radio lol

lime rampart Aug 20, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

yeah it's still the same basic tech from 100 years ago

#

just more refined

#

anyway I never did networking before so I am pretty pumped that everything worked out of the box pretty much straight away :-)

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

did you choose a custom routing solution?

#

like Pfsense, OpenSense, RouterOS, vyos?

lime rampart Aug 20, 2020, 6:22 AM

#

I didn't. My current setup is very simple and all the default software hasn't let me down yet

#

I might do that later tho, when stuff starts getting more complex:) I have some extra cat cables to my attic that I hope to make my tech nerd room some day

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

strong recomendation to do so, as the Internet is becoming the wild wild west

#

most off the shelf solutions, although work. usually have a very long list of exploits.

#

although I don't particularly care if people know i watch LTT when they attempt to snoop on my traffic. I think it's more of a principle thing

#

like the get off my lawn principle

#

if you go down that Path, Untangled is really user friendly (but it's $50 a year for home), Pfsese/OpenSense can be intuitive but require tutorials

#

RouterOS and Vyos are experts only mode

lime rampart Aug 20, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

yeah just reading about them right now.. my setup is definitely not complex enough to warrant these kinds of solutions (yet)

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

it's more about the firewalling capabilities

#

all the fancy stuff is secondary

#

also the security updates lol

#

they all get amazing security updates

lime rampart Aug 20, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

yeah I can see how security is a basic feature:) I'll think about it for sure

topaz quarry Aug 20, 2020, 6:27 AM

Networking Question: I have a wifi network, works fine. But I also have 2 computers that are not near my router, but are next to each other. Is there a good way to have them linked via an ethernet cable for direct peer:peer transfers? I'm not sure how the network topology would look like, or if I'd be manually mucking around w/ routing tables on each system to have it route over the cable vs. the wifi?

primal ice Aug 20, 2020, 5:11 PM

@balmy lance a simple switch like https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/5-port-switch/ls1005g/ or https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/5-port-switch/tl-sg105e/ I use the tl-sg105e works great really don't have to manage it unless you really want to.

#

@primal ice I wasn't sure that'd work, since each system would have 2 network interfaces (wifi + ethernet). How would the system pick the correct routing

#

and IP addresses are per-interface normally aren't they? So what IP would get assigned to this tiny island ethernet network

green hedge Aug 20, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

I usually see people with 1 ms or 2 ms ping when they have 30 Mbps Speed but when I have that much I get 59 ping?

balmy lance Aug 20, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

bandwidth and ping measure different things.

#

A car load of external hard drives has extremely high bandwidth, but very slow ping.

#

Using a traceroute may help you identify if there's a certain spot along the way to the remote server that is particularly slow. Either in or out of your network

#

possibly you're connecting to a server that's physically far away from you - so more hops between different switches & routers

#

possibly your wifi is buffering more than it should (look up 'bufferbloat' for more info), so it can maintain a better throughput, at the expense of ping

waxen scroll Aug 20, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

ping isnt the same as actual latency either. 😘

@hollow marlin daaaa?

A fine example of latency is Intels 10nm product development
