Is there any way I could portforward like for example a mc server without leaking my ip

#

Is there any mask you can use to hide it?

waxen saddle Dec 26, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

VPN service that allows that sort of thing. LTT also uses some kind of masking service for their MC server. No idea what it is called though.

Does ltt still trust PIA?

PIA was literally a sponsor on the WAN show yesterday, so I’d assume yes

versed nebula Dec 26, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

Ok

#

Because i was wondering if i’d renew my suscription

#

Because of the merger in 2019

waxen scroll Dec 26, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

@clear igloo do YOU trust PIA or other VPNs that use lies in their marketing that say you need a VPN to protect bank info, etc over public networks?

#

If you access the internet through public wifi hotspots, shared internet routers, or even through your very own provider, your data, files and privacy may be at risk.

#

my files? uhhh

#

pretty sure most of the net is https, file xfers are encrypted, etc

#

just last week i logged into my bank on a open hotel wifi network. 0 concern.

#

If you're not using it for work, don't get a VPN unless you're a pirate. Simple as that. You dont need it.

#

This is of course assuming you're not bypassing a state sponsored censorship mechanism

#

which most people here arent

daring relic Quick question just to make sure. You need a modem for a router to work, right?

Modem & router have nothing to do directly with each other...
The modem converts signal from one standard to another - F.ex from cable TV signals to Network Ethernet TCP/IP. Originally its a modulator/demodulator
The router controls (routes) the traffic on certain network types (mostly Ethernet TCP/IP)

Many routers have built-in modems that convert signals without you needing to worry about it.

#

I'm in a little bit of a dilemma right now.

#

I'm planning out a future upgrade to my newly installed UniFi system involving 10G home networking.

#

Here's the current plan:

📎 Network_Diagram_-_v2_4.png

#

My main problem area is the crawlspace.

#

The crawlspace has no access to power without me running a cable into my attic somewhere and causing a mess.

#

I don't seem to be able to find any switches than can be powered by 10G Ethernet.

#

The CRS305-1G-4S+IN, the main switch used for 10G distribution in this setup, can be POE powered. But, only by 1G Ethernet.

#

aka you only have a 10g link between devices on the switch and it would be limited to 1g if it had to travel to another part of the network

#

So, I'm trying to find a 10G switch than can be powered by 10G LAN.

#

I'm guessing it would be 802.3bt power.

#

Either Ethernet or SFP+ outputs are fine, they're going to be adapted into Ethernet anyway. Whichever is cheaper.

So you want PoE pass-through and 10G on a single switch?

tribal ferry Dec 27, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

Well, yes.

#

A switch that can be 10G POE powered and pass through 1G 802.3af for my nanoHD.

#

The nanoHD does not have a 10G port so it can pass through either 1 or 10G.

peak cloak Dec 28, 2020, 12:18 AM

can't you just run another cable or is it such an awkward place?

tribal ferry what's the benefit of running another cable?

for poe

for the ap?

for the switch

tribal ferry Dec 28, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

i need a 10gb switch

#

the solution i'm trying to solve is not running a dc power cable for one

yeah the mtik switch

the 10gb one is poe

tribal ferry Dec 28, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

yes

#

the poe port is 1gbps

#

it's not 10gb

#

you only have a 10g link between devices on the switch and it would be limited to 1g if it had to travel to another part of the network

peak cloak Dec 28, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

yeah ik

#

so 2 cables

#

one poe (for powering the device)

#

one 10gig

tribal ferry Dec 28, 2020, 1:43 AM

ah

#

i see what you mean

it would be a big pain though after running this one

you could also maybe just use an active poe injector

find an outlet and place a poe injector

idk, but at that point you could just run dc

@tribal ferry found the issue, two burnt out led's

pretty simple fix

except they are small smd ones and will be annoying to solder

I could just bridge the led's and the probe side led's would not work, but at least the tester side would show as working

why would you want that? it makes it way harder to get back on after you get booted

peak cloak Dec 29, 2020, 2:01 AM

harder to get back on after you get booted

how

#

static ip means I wouldn't need to do dynamic dns

spark cedar Dec 29, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

wdym?

waxen saddle Dec 29, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Does booted = IP Banned? If so, then yea. A static IP will definitely make it hard to join a server if you've been IP banned.

#

If you're hosting a server, a static IP is practically essential. If you don't have a static IP, a dynamic DNS server (which is basically a static name assigned to a variable IP address) can create a "static" connection folks can connect with.

spark cedar Dec 29, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

no, booted means someone attacks your router with bot flood to the point where it kicks you off

#

DDOS attack

waxen saddle Dec 29, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

You're hosed then. A dynamic IP won't help if you use a dynamic DNS service.

spark cedar Dec 29, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

how do i know if i am or not?

waxen saddle Dec 29, 2020, 2:36 AM

How do you know if you're using a dynamic DNS service?

spark cedar Dec 29, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

yes

waxen saddle Dec 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

You would know if you used soemthing like dyndns.org or freeddns.org. These services allow you to create a dns name (like, moocow.dyndns.org) that will point to your IP address. A client on your network (on a server or router) will automatically check to see what IP address you have and update your dns name with your IP address if it ever changes.

#

If you're just advertising your IP address for folks to connect to, then yea, it might be harder for the attacker to find you. Assuming it's not someone you're handing your IP address to.

#

But if you're hosting a game server and say, the attacker just has to look for the server in a server list. Then yea, can't really hide.

#

I use to run a Halo 1 PC server. Any time my server went up, I was DDoS'd. I changed the name, and they had to manually join servers until they found the one they were banned on (mine) and then they'd start the DDoS flood again.

The best way to mitigate a DDoS is to try to avert one in the first place. The 2nd best way is to have control of the other end of your Internet pipe. ISP's don't typically allow for this unless you're a higher-end business customer.

Asking for assistance in bypassing filters isn't allowed here. It's for your own good, deal with it, or purchase your own computer and network connection. Your parents put a filter in place for a reason. Respect that. It's for your own good, rather than the trouble you'll inevitably be in once they find out you've circumvented their filter. It's not an if, it's a when. Better to enjoy your 30 minutes than to have none at all.

Exactly!! We need to pump those numbers up

#

Got a slew of alarms from an entire switch going down later finding out that MST is set with BPDU guard on an instance containing customer L2 circuit VLANs. No filter was done at the edge in the Ciena and the moment the customer plugged in their switch, the PO was shutdown which also contain some of the management VLANs to that part of the network. I had to argue with the team that set it up that BPDU guard in the core is not at all where you enable BPDU guard and they still could not see the reasoning.
