dull mirage
#

Well what do i do

#

I have two routers one main and the seconds works like a switch so I had to disable dhcp to get it to work but I can't get to admin now

#

Xd

primal ice
#

reset it then supply the second router with a static ip then disable dhcp on it.

peak cloak
#

like that, I assume that's dhcp server

#

it should still use a dhcp client

#

@dull mirage look in main router dhcp client list and try to find it

dull mirage
#

Bc the switch router is disconnected from main in order to get admin page of main router

autumn bay
#

so im looking for a doorbell and a camera but idk what to get as ubiquiti stuff requires the dream machine

peak cloak
#

ethernet cable should be in the LAN ports too

autumn bay
#

i have no idea what brand to go with Nest im going to get for the smart thermostat but i want something that works with apple home kit so im lost

peak cloak
#

unless there is a way to turn off NAT

dull mirage
autumn bay
#

i need a back door camera and a front doorbell plz help im lost now

peak cloak
autumn bay
#

looking for inbuilt storage or self hosting on an old laptop or Pi any suggestions ?

dull mirage
peak cloak
#

I don't see much activity here

#

I avoid going into dms

dull mirage
#

Okay np

#

So how I'm gonna do it

#

If I'm connected to switch that's is connected to main i can't get to main admin page

#

To get admin page i have to connect myself to main router but I have only one cable

peak cloak
#

it's a switch or a router?

dull mirage
#

Router

#

Low budged

peak cloak
#

what port is it connected to? WAN or the LAN ports

dull mirage
#

Lans

#

There is only lans and DSL

peak cloak
#

huh

dull mirage
#

Switch router

peak cloak
#

and dhcp is turned off?

#

what does ipconfig /all show

dull mirage
#

This is how it's looks when it work as a switch

#

Eat

#

It ain't kicked me from main admin

#

Okay uhh where is dhcp client

#

I see only dhcp

peak cloak
#

look for clients?

#

or devices

primal ice
#

connected devices. yeah.

dull mirage
#

Devices on lan?

peak cloak
#

ye

dull mirage
#

I tested it the router ain't showing there

#

Devices that are plug in in the switch router does

autumn bay
#

@peak cloak i got outdoor cat 6 will it fit in the same connector as 5e?

peak cloak
#

Not sure, the guage may be different

autumn bay
#

the outdoor 6 has thicker cables by the looks of it

#

and it has a metal wire just sticking out

#

so i got metal jacket connectors idk if thats correct just googling and

peak cloak
autumn bay
#

buying stuff

peak cloak
#

Never worked with those

autumn bay
#

yeah i got passthrough ones because its easier to connect

dull mirage
peak cloak
#

I mean it should, it's just a switch

dull mirage
#

getting connection refused

hollow marlin
primal ice
autumn bay
#

i got cat 6 on amazon

dull mirage
primal ice
#

if both router and (switch) are trying to use the same IP .

dull mirage
#

nah

#

Main admin page is 192.168.1.1

#

and second is 10.0.0.1

#

or im wrong but jsut like this its in the docs

#

and ipconfig is saying that dhcp server is 192.168.1.1

peak cloak
#

Well they need to be on same subnet

dull mirage
#

router switch and main?

peak cloak
#

The whole plug into lan thing is tricky since it's essentially a hack/exploit as it isn't designed for it

primal ice
#

disconnect the zyxel see if you can access it when its not connected to the main router. by manually setting your computers IP.

peak cloak
#

So it probably isn't listening for dhcp on lan ofc, which is why it doesn't show up

dull mirage
#

when i unplug it form main and try to connect to admin page of it i get connection timed out

#

err_connection_timed_out

primal ice
#

well if you changed it to 10.0.0.1 you would want to manually change your computer IP to 10.0.0.2

dull mirage
primal ice
#

you need to be in the same IP range

dull mirage
#

oh.. so what should i do?

primal ice
#

10.0.0.2 would still work.

peak cloak
#

No not really

dull mirage
#

my pc is on 192.168.1.14

peak cloak
#

It's acting as a switch

primal ice
#

change your PC's IP manually to 10.0.0.2

peak cloak
#

It may allow access to switch router but it won't allow internet access

dull mirage
#

this can be all useless! my main problem is i cant ssh or use ftp or playgames on lan... just ports.. I think it can be firewall that the switchrouter has on

primal ice
#

no its cause the switch is set outside of your "normal" lan network of 192.168.1.x

dull mirage
#

so?

primal ice
#

so any port forwards or anything won't go through cause its not part of that network.

autumn bay
#

they cant talk to each other from what i understand

dull mirage
primal ice
#

yes

#

you should set it to 192.168.1.10

dull mirage
#

how should i get to its admin page...

primal ice
#

by manually changing your computers IP to its network.

dull mirage
#

if i unplug it from main router and connect only my pc to it still gets timed out

autumn bay
#

cant you change it on the router ?

dull mirage
#

specify what router u mean...

autumn bay
#

draw your network on paint or on a piece of paper

#

then write what the ip of each is

dull mirage
#

¨xdddd

autumn bay
#

then you will know what is what

primal ice
#

his router will only deal with anything with an IP address range of 192.168.1.x if the switch is 10.x.x.x that is not within 192.168.1.x range

autumn bay
#

yeah

#

the subnet is different

dull mirage
autumn bay
#

yeah that switch isnt in the same subnet mask

#

its needs to be 192.168.1.x

dull mirage
#

if i do this i cant get to admin page of swithc router

primal ice
#

its not the subnet per say it is the IP range.

#

subnet is what bits to match.

autumn bay
#

yeah but its 192.168.1.x

dull mirage
#

as far as i remember it had 255.255.255.0

#

both§

autumn bay
#

yeah so the 0 is what you can use

#

you can use from 2 to 255

dull mirage
#

thats subnet

autumn bay
#

yes but your ip range can be anything from 0 to 255

primal ice
#

anyways. manually change your computers IP to 10.0.0.2 then you can access the switches management page.

dull mirage
#

how please

primal ice
#

what OS are you using?

dull mirage
#

win

primal ice
#

ME 7 8 10 11?

dull mirage
#

10

dull mirage
autumn bay
#

it is

dull mirage
#

ye im dumb

dull mirage
autumn bay
#

yes

dull mirage
#

I'm in

#

Uh

#

Why can't I remember pass from yesterday ._.

autumn bay
#

oh oh

primal ice
#

ahh and I made a pretty picture. oh well you found it. heh.

dull mirage
#

Im sorry xd

#

What should I set?

#

Dhcp off

#

Firewall off
Change ip

#

Right?

primal ice
#

change the switches IP to 192.168.1.10

dull mirage
#

I'm talking about switch router ye

#

Dhcp off and firewall to?

primal ice
#

sure

dull mirage
#

Gotta type from mobile

#

Okay dhcp off

#

Start IP

#

192.168.1.10

#

End ip? @primal ice

primal ice
#

no just the switches IP

#

that sounds like the dhcp range

dull mirage
#

But

#

Ups wait I'm gonna switch to eng

#

Or?

#

Ok

primal ice
#

just change the 10.0.0.138 to 192.168.1.10

dull mirage
#

Ok

#

Ain't works

#

Oh ye bc my pc ip

#

Weird

primal ice
#

right now you should go back to getting IP automatically.

dull mirage
#

Err_connection timed up

#

Out*

#

I set my pc IP back

#

Maybe restart the router?

primal ice
#

sure

dull mirage
#

Hmm

#

Should I connect it to main router?

#

I can't get there

primal ice
#

what do you mean?

dull mirage
#

It's unplugged from main router

primal ice
#

oh yeah plug it in

dull mirage
#

Ok

autumn bay
#

what are you trying to do ?

primal ice
#

can you access the main router and the switch now?

autumn bay
#

because im confused

dull mirage
#

No

primal ice
#

are you getting internet?

dull mirage
#

No

primal ice
#

you set your computer to automatic from dhcp

dull mirage
#

Y

primal ice
#

in an admin command prompt try ipconfig /release

#

then ipconfig /renew

dull mirage
#

Okay it needed time

#

I have internet

#

I can access all admin pages eow

primal ice
#

grats

dull mirage
#

Now gonna test the ssh

#

Nope :/

#

@primal ice any ideas?

primal ice
#

check the qos setting in the zyxel, make sure its disabled.

carmine moss
#

could someone help me setup a routerboard 3011UiAS-RM with a capsman server for a hap 2 and a hap 3 as ap's

dull mirage
#

find it

#

found it)

#

qoality of service right?

primal ice
#

yes

dull mirage
#

@primal ice Did still nothing

primal ice
#

okay what exactly are trying to do?

dull mirage
#

and lan games cant work too

low pond
#

pinging 192 168 1 19 responds?

dull mirage
#

yes

low pond
#

maybe nmap check if the port is open or so

dull mirage
low pond
#

use nmap to check if 22 is open from your system

dull mirage
primal ice
#

yes

low pond
latent bobcat
#

i just use 192.168.0.20x for my custom ips

dull mirage
#

WHAT

low pond
#

wut what

latent bobcat
#

why would you use 192.168.1.1x

#

theres no way you have 254 devices

dull mirage
#

that doesnt matter does it?

primal ice
#

it does not

low pond
#

Not in the slightest

low pond
latent bobcat
#

idk i just thought it was weird

low pond
#

nothing weird in it 😛

latent bobcat
#

i thought people do that for when they have 250+ devices on a network

primal ice
#

i'm thinking his router is not doing nat reflection.

low pond
dull mirage
#

that website

low pond
low pond
dull mirage
#

duh

low pond
#

it isnt signed or something

dull mirage
#

Nsis downloaded

north mulch
#

i use 10.1.1.x/24

#

easier to type

primal ice
#

10.20.128.x/24

north mulch
#

ewwww, different numbers

low pond
north mulch
#

should do 10.20.30.x

low pond
#

technically if you do 0.0 in the middle then it can be really short to enter i guess

dull mirage
#

whaat

north mulch
#

idk if that works that way or not

dull mirage
#

i have nsis and i need nmap

north mulch
#

that seems like some chrome wizardry or something

#

i know ipv6 can do that

latent bobcat
#

wait if ur on windows why don't you just do pc.local ?

dull mirage
#

IDK i knew nothing about that

north mulch
#

or 127.0.0.1

low pond
dull mirage
#

im completly lost here...

#

What do i have to do

primal ice
#

what is your main router?

latent bobcat
dull mirage
primal ice
#

model Number

dull mirage
north mulch
#

model number is what he asked for

dull mirage
#

my eng is kinda messed up sorry

north mulch
#

i jumped in late and didn't know the question / issue. it might be that you're router you can't reach isn't getting an ip address anymore. maybe connect the unreachable router into the reachable router and see if it issues an ip address to it after a power cycle. you can also run arp -a to detect devices on your network

dull mirage
#

nah

#

i can ssh through it or ftp

dull mirage
north mulch
#

just reset to factory defaults?

dull mirage
primal ice
#

what port on the sercom are you using for the zyxel

north mulch
primal ice
#

if its port 4 try using port 2 or 3 it has some funky port settings

dull mirage
#

@primal ice it in lan 3

#

Should I plug it into 1?

primal ice
#

you can try

dull mirage
#

Oh

#

Lan 1 is wan it it problem?

primal ice
#

still think its not doing nat reflections though so its trying to ssh out to the internet and not your local lan.

#

yeah do not use port 1 then.

dull mirage
#

Well so port 2?

primal ice
#

from the manual port 2 and 3 should be the same.

dull mirage
#

So we have 1 and 4

#

1 is wan

primal ice
#

port 4 is set up to be tv.

dull mirage
#

Well

#

Wait

#

My pc Is plugged into lan2/tv at Zyxel

#

Zyxel is switch router

#

Well back to main router

#

Where to plug it

dull mirage
#

my pc was plugged into tv at "switch router" i fixed that but still cant ssh or ftp

peak cloak
#

@north mulch the issue is that he is trying to use a router as a switch. For some reason it's blocking the connections which it shouldn't since everything is plugged in LAN, he also can't get into the web interface which I just think it's not possible without some custom firmware since you can't change the IP of the router lan ip which is on the 10.0.0.0/8 while his main network is 192.168.x.x

dull mirage
#

admin pages works now

#

Only issue are the ports

#

Ssh ftp games lan games nto working

peak cloak
#

huh

dull mirage
#

we changed it to 192.168. since the switch router was on 10.0.0.

north mulch
#

idk, seems like a even better reason to reset the router to defaults, that way you're troublshooting from a default config

dull mirage
#

its deafautl config...

#

It was reseted multiple times for this.

#

Chnaged things:
Dhcp - OFF
FireWall - OFF
Qos - OFF
Ip changed

north mulch
#

are you're trying to ssh to this router directly?

#

was that enabled in the security preference page of the router?

primal ice
#

the switch part is fine its the router now not routing properly on the lan .

dull mirage
#

im trying to ssh to different mechine at my local network

peak cloak
#

this is all sorts of messy

#

like the switch router is now on the 10.x.x.x network? while main is still on 192.168.x.x?

north mulch
#

they should both be on one range for something this simple

dull mirage
#

all is on 192.168

north mulch
#

/8 /16 or /24

dull mirage
primal ice
#

its /24

north mulch
#

on both devices?

primal ice
#

hrm not the greatest thing, but on the sercom enable upnp.

#

yes both devices.

primal ice
#

in the sercom management under home network enable upnp

#

you might have to restart it after enabling it.

dull mirage
#

yo....

#

it enabled.....

primal ice
#

hrm

dull mirage
primal ice
#

it could be.

#

set up a rule on the firewall for tcp and udp incoming lan outgoing lan any address any port permit

#

again might require a restart of the router.

#

could also be the device you are trying to connect to firewall settings.

dull mirage
#

portforwarding cant be it? i have them few

#

it dont have like firewall

#

only thing i see is this

primal ice
#

under internet firewall ip filtering

#

ip filtering is the firewall rules

dull mirage
primal ice
#

no

dull mirage
primal ice
#

no of it

#

er none

dull mirage
#

i see this:

#

and this:

primal ice
#

internet connection?

#

er configuration

#

also that router may not have that function.

north mulch
#

have you tried ssh between 2 devices connected to the same switch?

dull mirage
#

yes

#

i found in manual security

#

it can be the firmware

north mulch
#

did ssh work in that case?

dull mirage
#

no

#

connection refused

north mulch
#

does 192.168.1.19 have ssh allowed through it's firewall?

dull mirage
#

its firewall is down

#

for testing

north mulch
#

is ssh actually enabled on that device?

#

just trying to eliminate configuration issues on the hosts

dull mirage
#

well

#

even games cant work

north mulch
#

It sounds like you have some configuration issue somewhere, likely on the modem or router.

dull mirage
#

But i have modfied firmware from t-mobile

main sorrel
#

Is ubiquiti stuff (dream machine pro, POE switch, NVR, cameras, etc.) still a good choice for a home network? I heard a rumor (though I can't recall where) that ubiquiti was planning on getting out of the security/surveillance business. Basically I want home security stuff but I don't trust ring, etc. and want it all on hardware that I own.

rocky badge
#

Doubt the rumor is true, they're still developing new hardware and software lol.

main sorrel
#

i would tend to be of that opinion as well.

rocky badge
#

Plus Protect (Surveillance) is going to be used heavily in their new programs

#

I've only used UniFi Network, not Protect, but a lot of my friends do and its been fine for their usage. Just general home recording and such.

main sorrel
#

it would seem like a big change in their business strategy, since my understanding is that they really make their money from commercial infrastructure, and companies will pay big bucks to have an all-in-one system like that.

#

how's your experience been with network? i have an edgerouter that I think is great, but that isn't really representative of the whole unifi ecosystem

rocky badge
#

Yup....new plans to integrate networking, access control, user directory, surveillance

rocky badge
#

I don't have a lot of firewall rules besides blocking traffic between stuff and port forwarding. No policy based routing or anything else.

main sorrel
#

i don't have any of that stuff now and i don't really forsee really needing it. i'm more looking for a good system that i can essentially set up and then not really have to worry about. the only "complicated" thing i have is a pihole, so i'd need to change the DNS of the router. I'm not going to do any hosting (except maybe the odd local game server for friends) so...idk. The main reason i'm drawn to it is the security stuff, and if i'm doing all that, i might as well use the whole ecosystem to simplify all that stuff too.

rocky badge
#

Tbh, with UniFi its been fine at several locations....

#

Then again its not like a lot of complaints where they're either running beta firmware, weird/unsupported configs, or super super advanced usage

main sorrel
#

agreed. or if they are, they theoretically have people on staff to make sure that nonsense works

rocky badge
#

but ever since school started back up and such, I've had no issues just leaving it running

#

I just leave it and it runs on its own and auto updating. Which is super nice

main sorrel
#

okay, good. that is reassuring

nimble fractal
#

I need help...I'm in a dilemna

#

The wifi on my laptop is problematic

#

the second test was run immediately after the first with nothing changed in any way

#

This is from my phone which is connected to the same WiFi…. I chose a distant server to emphasise speed difference

#

The 2 devices are connected to the same WiFi network and are equidistant from the router… (they are actually at the same spot)

#

The router is only broadcasting a 2.4 GHz 802.11n signal (no 5ghz)

#

Speed tests from other sites such as fast.com show similar discrepancies

#

And when I get decent speeds on my computer… I still get a lot of buffering on sites like YouTube and Twitch with up to 80mbps speeds… a check in task manger shows utilizations far less at 2-6 mbps total when streaming

#

My Laptop is the only one facing this problem among all the devices that connect to this network

#

I have tried all tips found online including network driver uninstallation and reinstall and even gone as far as completely wiping the laptop( I keep most of my work remotely backed up)

#

The problem still persists and is actually very recent

#

network card info

#

problem persists even if I use dynamic IP address

#

Results when using same Speedtest server as computer

#

Location: Kampala, Uganda

#

latest test... I find the difference in upload and download speeds annoying

#

All tests are run with as many apps closed as possible on both devices( all visible ones on phone, all visible ones plus some that run silently, like steam and spotify, force closed so background bandwidth taken < 0.1mbps)

north mulch
nimble fractal
#

speed went up during speedtest and immediately dropped once it was done...I had momentarily closed discord but had an edge tab(The new Chromium-powered edge) with a very slowly buffering Youtube(LTT) video

#

final info(not eligible for win11 because I have a 6th gen Intel, but probably wouldn't have been able to download it anyway with this issue)

#

I repeat...the above stated issues do not occur on any other device that connects to the same wifi

pulsar thorn
#

Some ISPs give speedtests priority

peak cloak
#

or they run speedtest servers themselves

#

right on their network, so no going through peerings

waxen scroll
#

speed of peers isnt their problem

latent bobcat
#

my wireguard config is broken somehow

#

it sends a valid peer connection back to my client but it doesn't send internet data

peak cloak

when it's right on their network it's usually faster no?

dusty prawn
#

how do servers have different public ips per server

peak cloak
dusty prawn
#

what does that mean?

peak cloak
#

plus any big "server" is not one singular server, it's a whole network

peak cloak
# dusty prawn what does that mean?

you know how you have an ethernet port, that's an interface, you can multiple ethernet ports which will be more interfaces but you can also just use vlans and other network devices as interfaces

#

like a router has multiple interfaces

#
Codes: S - State, L - Link, u - Up, D - Down, A - Admin Down
Interface        IP Address                        S/L  Description
---------        ----------                        ---  -----------
eth0             10.10.30.61/24                    u/u  
lo               127.0.0.1/8                       u/u  
                 ::1/128                                
wg92             172.23.84.34/32                   u/u  tech9
                 fdc1:e70f:34b0::4/128                  
wg93             172.23.84.34/32                   u/u  Kioubit.dn42
                 fdc1:e70f:34b0::4/128```
#

a server can too

#

wg is a wireguard tunnel which goes over the eth0 interfaces

#

but something like 1.1.1.1 is a whole network of servers

#

using anycast

#

so it goes to the shortest path to the closest server

dusty prawn
#

this sounds confusing

peak cloak
#

networking is a whole wormhole

#

bgp is one monster in itself

sudden kayak
#

apparently it's confusing enough that Facebook got it wrong so... thonk

peak cloak
#

anyone use a yubikey?
thinking of getting it to store ssh keys, pgp keys, and the other 2fa stuff
how is it?

how the fuck do i fix it

I have no clue

check wireguard logs?

you would need to look that up, I forget how to enable and look at them

theres no server logs apparently

cant you use unraid and zfs together?

no

maybe if you hack it together

So why does the benevolent leader Lienus use it in production at LTT?

Anyone able to help my identify what my network issue is? I can run some tests if needed, I am on wifi, but things arent all that bad in terms of ping times and packet drop rates. The issue is I get dns errors for hours at a time seemingly randomly

#

Discord calls, I can stay in, but cant join, chrome allows me to refresh a page, but not look for a new one, and I can play games like csgo or p2p fighting games like rushdown revolt

#

I'm kinda stumped as to what it is, my brother has in the past used a wifi jammer against me, (which he couldnt be using anymore, I fried it with 12v through its reset pin and it smelt burnt), I'm really not sure what it could be tbh

#

And when stuff loads at all, websites load really slow

#

And discord, but games are 100% fine

#

And for context the ping test was 100 packets to google.com

#

Things were fine, for a bit, but for the last week things have been bad

Did you tweak the settings on your computer in any way, such as to use a different/specific DNS, static IP, or VPN?

cold trout
#

this is the sort of things that happens

#

And just then, I couldnt send messages, but I could get yours

nimble fractal
# cold trout Havnt touched my settings in ages

I'm a bit confused now, but anyway I'm not a qualified network specialist...what I would do is to try to change my dns provider to something like Cloudflare(1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) or Google dns(8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) in the settings to see if that helps. If you are not familiar with the process, I do not particularly recommend it unless you have guidance

cold trout
#

will do, which one is better?/what are the perks?

#

I can change it real quick, just unsure which one I should change to

nimble fractal
#

Personally I use Cloudflare

cold trout
#

Fair enough, I'll do cloud flare

#

It says 1.1.1.1 (Unencrypted)
1.0.0.1 (unecrypted), does that mean anything?

nimble fractal

could you send a screenshot

cold trout
#

sure

nimble fractal
cold trout
#

Fair enough, just wasnt sure

#

It doesnt bother me to much

#

I dont have much to hide

nimble fractal
#

Just in case, disconnect and reconnect to the wifi and see if there is any change, In case you completely fail to get a connection, switch back to the previous settings(Presumably it was automatic, giving you your ISPs DNS servers)

cold trout
#

will do, and yeah it was

nimble moss
#

i finally fixed and setup my pihole on my raspberry pi zero!!

thick minnow
#

Bruh i thought you meant peehole

nimble fractal
#

let me reask my question

#

I have a WiFi connection at home shared by multiple users

#

All devices are getting satisfactory speeds both in speedtests and actual performance with streaming and downloads, averaging around 40mbps,with the highs in the 70s and the(very rare) lows in the 20s [Mbps]

#

except for my PC, which is only getting 300kbps-8mbps on the same wifi network

#

The problem persists even after disconnecting some of the other devices

#

My PC is the only device on the network that gets this slow, no matter the time of day

#

But to add to the confusion, at rare moments the speed on the PC increases to match that on my other devices, with no changes made by me at any point

#

Right now I am getting less than 1mbps on my PC, I have failed to maintain a Zoom meeting, but getting 43 mbps on my phone connected to the same WiFi (It has no SIM card so I am confident that I am not using mobile data), and I am attending the same meeting from there with very clear audio and video (Well, as good as it gets)
The PC keeps this very slow speed even after disconnecting the phone and turning it off for good measure

#

these are the network card details for my laptop

sly wadi
#

If I have a pfsense vm under proxmox, and I want to connect my laptop to the internal network via an extra ethernet cable on the server, how would I go about doing that?

topaz cosmos
#

are your router settings restricting bandwidth to your laptop

crisp bay
#

one q: do you really need 2 ports for VyOS?

nimble fractal
topaz cosmos
#

Uh change that back to default that could be messing with it? Idk, just test it

peak cloak
#

I have 1 virtual "port" on my test router

#

it's not going to any end devices on my network yet, in that case I'll add another one

crisp bay
#

so one physical port is fine?

peak cloak
crisp bay
#

yes bare metal

peak cloak
#

look at "router-on-a-stick"

#

I'm running virtual

crisp bay
#

oh okay I'll look into it

peak cloak
crisp bay
#

yeah I understand now, thanks!

nimble sable
# peak cloak

are there any disadvantages of doing it that way? using VLAN with one router port to seperate WAN from LAN?

peak cloak
#

you have 1 gigabit link for both LAN and WAN

#

@crisp bay

crisp bay
#

yeah

#

it'll be shared then

peak cloak
nimble sable

#

#

whelp if its just that device, then I would say its the wifi card in the laptop. possibly a bad connection on the antennas or the card itself is going bad.

#

I kinda need help rn. I am currently trying to connect my FreeNAS fileserver to my PC via ethernet. So there is no DHCP server that can assign addresses for the NICs. Is there any way to configure that on FreeNAS?

I actually used the same article

But thanks anyway ^^

nimble sable
#

hey, how come I've never seen 172. private address? like 192 is common in home routers, 10. with corporations due to the large address base availability...ive never seen like 172.20.2.0

peak cloak
#

like on the dn42 network they use that ip range

#

100.64.0.0/10 is also private, supposed to be used for cgnat

rocky badge
#

My school uses all 3 pera

peak cloak
#

or like 169.254.0.0/16 for ipv4 link-local

rocky badge
#

10.x.x.x for most stuff, 172.16.x.x for guest, 192.168.x.x management

peak cloak
#

huh

peak cloak
#

wouldn't it just make more sense to have everything on 10.0.0.0/8?

nimble sable
#

easy to guess

rocky badge
#

eh, I'd just put everything on /24, /22, /20 VLANs lol

peak cloak
#

well I mean yeah, not everything on flat /8 lol

nimble sable
#

the way the school does it makes it easy to tell

#

"oh your ip starts with 172, yeap that's guest"

#

I'd think

nimble sable
peak cloak
#

Like when I was using tunnelbear to test something pretty sure it was a 172. address

nimble sable
nimble sable
#

maybe I should change mine

#

172.17.2.17 is fun

peak cloak
#

172 range is also confusing kinda for a newbie

#

Since for 10.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x it's 0-255 on the X's

nimble sable
#

I mean

#

it is what you want it to be

rocky badge
#

beyond the first two octets, its also 0-255

peak cloak
#

172.16.0.0/12

#

172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255

nimble sable
#

I can make mine 172.17.2.0/24

peak cloak
#

Ye

nimble sable
#

wow I'm such a nerd

#

oh also, anyone here use a "static ip only" /"no new mac address" type of setup at home?

rocky badge
#

no

nimble sable
#

it's mighty tempting to do at home

rocky badge
#

infact I have the opposite

#

Everything must be DHCP compliant

nimble sable
#

oh ya

#

but the dhcp leases only to certain Macs

#

and leases are infinite

rocky badge
#

Still no since that sounds like a major pain in the ass lol

peak cloak
#

Yeah

#

Statics seem like pita

#

Dhcp exists for a reason

rocky badge
#

"honey why can't my new device connect to the WiFi?"
"oh wait, let me register it first"
"just tell me the 12 character code"

And if you really need security use something like 802.1x

Can't ask for wifi

peak cloak
#

You know the type of people who think they know tech, but they really don't that much

#

He's one of them

little schooner
#

at my college, they do whitelisting by the oui portion

#

one point it was requested that all equipment Mac addresses be noted for further hardening

#

I think that policy fell through tho, bc of how annoying it was

#

at one point, even all vpns were blocked

#

thankfully, they loosened that restriction

nimble sable
nimble sable
nimble sable
#

...which is also a question i wanted to ask for ppl who have a guest wifi at home

little schooner
nimble sable
#

the list of mac addresses that have connected to my router haver remained the same for 4 years

little schooner
#

also their phones have randomization for Mac addresses

#

it's enabled by default

nimble sable
#

i can list out all 20 macs from memory bynow, lol

nimble sable
little schooner
#

makes it less reliable

nimble sable
#

interesting

#

but the mac remains the same as long asyour connected to the same wifi?

#

or does it jst change every hour regardless or smthg

little schooner
#

when you connect, it changes then

nimble sable
#

aah ok

little schooner
#

I think each time it reconnects

#

unless it rotates on time interval , not sure

nimble sable
#

i just realized cuz my windows machine does NOT like grabbing ARP/ reverse dns or whateverr fromt he router, so i have static ip's assigned to everything (like if i type in "mymacbook." every other machine is like "oh yea router says this is the ip")

#

so i'm like...well, why not just have whitelisting

#

and do like a /29 subnet

Hi

#

NAS shows in SMB log that Shield is connecting to it with SMB3_00.

#

I use Total Commander on phone and there is an option for SMB 2.0
When I don't checkmark it it shows "NT1" in the protocol my phone is using (where Shield logs say SMB3_00), when enabled it shows SMB2_10.

What is better?

sterile sandal
#

Docsis has changed too

little schooner
#

smb1 is insecure and should be if none of your apps or services depend on it

topaz mirage
#

Total Commander can't do SMB3_00

#

So NT1 is SMB1?

#

I never seen "NT1"

little schooner
topaz mirage
#

Thanks

#

Eeeeh...

#

My friend asked for login to my wifi so he can have internet in his workshop.

#

Can I somehow secure my NAS? He isn't into IT, but still. He has like 5 year old Android phone that had like two updates 5 years ago 😅😂

carmine moss
#

could someone help me setup my mikrotik router it's partially configured. But the main thing is i need capsman working correctly as it works but it doesn't assign an ip to my phone over dhcp. in about an hour orso if posible

little schooner
#

and keeping it up to date.

#

basically that should stop 99 percent of stuff

deep agate
#

NT1 is what samba calls smb1

topaz mirage
#

It is a OpenMediaVault so that's why I am a bit scared about security. However Synology gets new hack methods nearly all the fcking time...what gives...

#

I can see that there is a certificate tab

little schooner
topaz mirage
#

However he connects with phone. And his local IP can change am I right?

#

Or the other way around? Make firewall that accepts certain clienrs and reject everyone else...

peak cloak
#

Which is isolated

topaz mirage
#

My TP Link router (AX73) has Guest network, but when I disable Local Access it disables internet.

#

Pretty useless if you ask me.

carmine moss
#

if someone atm could help me figure out what is wrong with my mikrotik capsman setup would be great as it's very weird the problem

carmine moss
#

so the weirdest problem is if i log in via mac address on one device it drops the connetion in a second idk why as it's a new device

primal ice
#

possible set up to only have 1 logon at a time, I know that is how pfsense is by default.

@little schooner

#

PS: I can't find a good explanation on how VPN for single device is possible. I can understand that the whole network will be routed through that remote IP, but only 1 device...? With software/app and no router settings?
Do I need public (and static) IP in order to use a VPN? And if not, can I stay with dynamic publicly unaccessible IP and use VPN to remotely connect to my home (access NAS, PC...)?

peak cloak
#

As in the device is hosting a vpn or it's connecting to one

topaz mirage
#

Huh?

#

Can you speak in sentences. I am just guessing what you are talking about.

peak cloak
#

So it allows communication over the tunnel without having to worry about the layers below it

topaz mirage
#

I don't want to affect my PlayStation and other devices...

peak cloak
#

What's your end goal?

topaz mirage
#

Security I meant privacy

#

But I'm not sure if I need public IP as many people have it without knowing it and guides might not mention this requirement.

peak cloak
#

I don't get it

#

You are trying to connect the Nas to just a vpn like nord?

#

If you are are using your Nas for is locally you don't need it

#

But, if you want to host a vpn to be able to connect to NAS from anywhere, then that makes more sense

#

Then, yes you do need a public ip endpoint

topaz mirage
#

No I have download clients setup on the NAS and I would like some privacy from my ISP.

peak cloak
#

Ah, Linux isos

topaz mirage
peak cloak
#

I think you could specific traffic to go over a specific interface with iptables

So what exactly does windows use for mapped drive credentials? For whatever reason mine is my old Microsoft password even though I've changed it

blazing gorge
#

i have a dumb traceroute question.. my instructor is asking why traceroute IP address would be different say after two minutes apart. but they aren't and haven't after 30min 😐 only reason i think they would change is if the server shut down or something

#

or if the traffic was too much and was redirected

#

bleh i'm putting that

#

👀 wrong chat

peak cloak
#

but they could change, mostly cuz of something down

#

like a pysical line could be down

#

bgp is used on the internet to handle routing between AS's

#

so if it sees a link down it could reroute

#

I don't know of a route that would switch every 2 minutes

#

maybe bgp flapping, but that ain't a good thing

blazing gorge
#

ok yeah that is what i thought @peak cloak so idk what they are asking then

merry elk
#

What@peak cloak said. It'll only really change if it finds a faster path

blazing gorge
#

now i get to watch stupid ted talks about the internet and write a paragraph about it

blazing gorge
#

yup

thick minnow
#

can i get help setting up an ipv6 tunnel on my ubuntu machine?

hollow marlin
# peak cloak I don't know of a route that would switch every 2 minutes

MPLS-TE and auto-bandwith is really the only non-fault related rerouting extension. Basically every 90s (most vendors by default) the router will sample a few intervals to get a rough average bps, if the detour/secondary path has more available bandwidth, it'll reroute it.
In theory routes changing every 2 mins is a bad thing

thick minnow
#

or is this not the right channel to ask

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

they have instructions

#

you need to also have direct access to the net

thick minnow
#

ive been following the instructions for an hour but i get an error each time

peak cloak
#

or router needs to forward a specific protocol

thick minnow
#

RTNETLINK answers: file exists

#

is one i forgot the other one

#

im also using linode as my host

peak cloak
#

wait

#

your using linode for ipv6?

#

then forwarding it to home?

#

ah now I get it

thick minnow
#

im trying to use lavalink since i have a couple of unlisted videos on my channel that i want to play in a voice channel on my bot but i cant do so without having an ipv6 tunnel set up

#

ive done this before but while using a different vps provider and it worked perfectly fine but now im using linode and i cant get it to work

peak cloak
#

if you just need a ipv6 address not a prefix, why not just use the vps provider's native v6?

#

this is the example that HE gives auto he-ipv6 iface he-ipv6 inet6 v4tunnel address 2001:470:xxx:xxx::2 netmask 64 endpoint 209.51.161.14 local x.x.x.x ttl 255 gateway 2001:470:xxx:xxx::1

thick minnow
#

i have no idea what that means

#

ah yea

peak cloak
#

you just need ipv6 on vps right?

thick minnow
#

lavalink uses load balancing and switches ips from the ipv6 block

#

and thats what ineed idk if linode has some sort of v6 block or whatever

peak cloak
#

they should

#

ah but you need a block?

thick minnow
#

yeah it uses some /48 block thing

peak cloak
#

they def do, do you need to pay extra idk

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

1234:1234:1234::/48

#

is what i need to include

peak cloak
#

you have a link?

#

that's wayyy to many for a simple application

#

/48 should be for a pysical site

#

a /48 is 65,536 /64's

thick minnow
#
peak cloak
peak cloak
thick minnow
#

yea basically

peak cloak
#

dumb

thick minnow
#

you cant do more than like 2 searches or play anything for longer than like a minute without your ip getting blocked

from yt?

thick minnow
#

yeah

peak cloak
#

how do the big music bots do it then?

thick minnow

gateway, but it's weird since you need a v6 gateway

#

could try a workaround

#

comment out the gateway line

#

see if it works

thick minnow
#

no more error

#

🤔

peak cloak
#

ok we could try a add a static route

#

I think it's like this

#

ip -6 route add 2000::/3 dev eth0 metric 1

#

so actually we need 2 static routes routes

#

ip -6 route add <HE-GATEWAY> dev sit0 metric 1

#

then

#

ip -6 route add default via <HE-GATEWAY>

#

@thick minnow

thick minnow
#

let me try

#

file exists

#

getting the same RTNETLINK error

peak cloak
#

maybe you already have a default assigned

#

show output of ip -6 route

#

not all if you don't want to, just see what's in there

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

so it seems the routes needed are there

#

actually no

thick minnow
#

have no idea what im supposed to do

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

yea

peak cloak
#

I have an idea

#

ip -6 route add ::/0 via <HE-GATEWAY> ?

#

@thick minnow

thick minnow
#

same errorr

peak cloak
#

hmm

#

I'm not too familiar with ip, so I don't really know what to do next

thick minnow
#

unfortunate

peak cloak
#

maybe @plain siren would know

#

I don't really know the intricacies of routing on linux, mainly just use vyos abstarction

thick minnow
#

should i be using public or private ip for the tunnel

#

im assuming public

peak cloak
#

wdym

thick minnow
#

i have 2 ip addresses from linode, one is public and one private

peak cloak
#

oh yeah for sit you want local

#

@thick minnow I want you to try something to see if the tunnel works

#

try to ping <HE-GATEWAY>

thick minnow
#

PING 2001:470:c02a::1(2001:470:c02a::1) 56 data bytes

peak cloak
#

nothing?

thick minnow
#

34 packets transmitted, 100% packet loss

peak cloak
#

rip

#

hmm

thick minnow
#

i had no issues using my old hosting provider

#

but i have no money to pay for that one anymore

#

so im using linode's trial since i cant set up a tunnel on windows locally

#

at least i dont think i can

peak cloak
#

you technically can

#

need to forward protocol 41 tho, which I doubt your router can

#

not port 41, protocol 41

thick minnow
#

dont think so

#

i have an xfinity gateway

peak cloak
#

yeah no

#

doesn't xfinity have ipv6?

thick minnow
#

idk

#

i dont like xfinity damn near everything is managed through xfi now instead of the usual gateway and its all ove rthe place

peak cloak
#

rip

#

I have everything separate

#

all that I have from verizon is the ONT, which gives my router a ip, and that's it

#

everything else is mine

sudden kayak
#

yeah :/ i have to be careful what i say publicly but Xfinity is moving everything to be managed through their apps and the xfi gateway instead of standard configuration tools

#

I'm not a fan of it but it's not like i have a say lol

Can I use a WiFi router to "extend" my connection from an LTE router?

nimble sable
stark otter

Does this setup work?

nimble sable
# stark otter Does this setup work?

aah idk, depends on your setting for "wifi router". I'd suggest either turning off dhcp on lte router OR turning off the router stuff on wifi router and just having it as a standalone wifi AP...most commercial router variants have some way to do this.
