Ich brauche eure Hilfe. 😊
Ich suche gute Tutorials, wie man kleine Netzwerke mit mehreren VPS hinter einer Firewall bei einem Hoster wie Hetzner oder Netcup realisiert. Irgendwelche Vorschläge oder Erfahrungen? 🤷‍♀️
Persönliche Hilfe, natürlich gegen Bezahlung, ist auch herzlich willkommen. 👍😎

Es hat den ganzen verschissenen Tag gedauert, aber VLAN-Config per File und ein Uplink auf Port 22 mit allen #VLAN tagged scheine ich hinbekommen zu haben.

Nächster Schritt: Trunk mit zwei NICs, um das Ding direkt an die #pfSense anzuschliessen. Dann kann ich endlich den uralten und chronisch überfüllten 24x #Switch unterbrechungsfrei ausmustern, der immer noch mein Hauptswitch ist. Dessen Ableben ist ein Damoklesschwert über meiner heimischen IT-Landschaft, dessen Auflösung ich schon seit Jahren vor mir her schiebe. Bin ja kein Netzwerker und #JunOS ist jetzt nicht so intuitiv.

Der #Juniper 3400 ist deutlich jünger und hat einen erheblich geringeren #Stromverbrauch, trotz doppelt so vieler Ports. Danach kann die Serverlandschaft weiter wachsen, die #Weltherrschaft ist nahe...

This is super tempting as a #pfSense / #OPNsense box. 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD, dual 2.5G network ports for $149 with coupon. It doesn’t specify if it’s an Intel NIC but one of the reviews says they use it for OPNsense. [Edit: It’s Intel I226-V]

I've always been told that #OpenWRT was somewhat unprofessional, that it was just a bunck of duct-taped tools with a linux kernel in it, that I should rather use #opnsense / #pfsense for more complete use case.
Now that I got enough experience with both (several years of quite advanced use), I can say that I feel way more confortable with OpenWRT.

Hi I'm 90s Script Kiddie, I grew up online. I do #devops and #automation code stuff for my job. My hobbies are #gamedev, #vintageelectronics, #gaming, #repair ing stuff to keep it out of the landfill, old #apple hardware, #linux admin (I run my own mail, web, media etc servers) #network admin especially #pfsense, I love #books, #anime, #manga - reading in general really. #music too! Jazz, alt-rock, pop, folk, chiptunes... I also enjoy #cooking and am trying to get better at it. Beliefs-wise I'm something of an anarchist, yearning for a #solarpunk future I'll probably never live in, but I do what I can to do #mutualaid for the people in my circle. If you're my friend, I will set up all your electronics for you, replace the battery in your phone, give you some free mail or web hosting... whatever! I try to limit my consumption of news media for my own sanity, but I love reading about what people are doing in their own words. That's why I love the Fediverse, and it's why I'm lurking around on #gopher

I don't have a lot of friends. I've always been kind of a loner, and a little awkward. Luckily, I love my own company and have no problem spending time alone. Those few in my circle are people who I think make the world better by being in it.

I'm a #queer #bi #enby and I don't really give a hoot about what pronouns you use for me. Actually, I sort of feel like however you labeled me I'd want to break out of that box somehow. I guess I'm pretty contrary.

New #introduction who dis.

Any #PFSense / #OPNsense wizards out there?

Anyone ever see it where one's WAN interface randomly decides to become a private IP instead of proper public one?

This is like the 3-4th time over 2-3 years and it's really getting on my nerves. Rare enough for me to not dig in and fix, but common enough to where -> this must never happen again.

Maybe fault of AT&T gear? But would love to have pfsense re-check for IP if it ends up with a 192 somehow for WAN interface.

I think I might actually migrate my #firewall to #vyos. Just the fact that I can easily deploy #podman #container onto my firewall this is also possible with #OpenWrt but sadly it's a bit hacky as their partitioning is ephemeral in it's nature.
I'm still struggling a bit with managing core functionalities like firewalling but I will manage. Why isn't there already a GUI? Isn't their API supposed to be ready to use idk?
Solutions like #pfSense or #OPNsense are just a bit too inflexible for me.

2/2
#Homebrew (brew.sh) instead of Apple Store on Mac
Lots of virtual machines (for every service I usually have a separate one)
Mail/Calendar: #ProtonMail and #tuta
Contacts: #gos local app. iPad: None.
#Nextcloud for data exchange between different systems (contacts, files)
#pfsense as firewall
#iCloud on all Apple devices disabled
#macOS: No Apple Store Account
All WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS always by default disabled
#Faraday Bag for Phone and Notebook when I travel
#LLMs only locally

I have a really annoying issue with my #pfsense #firewall that if it looses power, all network activity fails upon reboot until you clear down the states.

Wouldn’t be to much of a pain, but the only way I can connect to the FW is to use network cable, as my wireless vlan doesn’t work either.

Today, I need to cut power across the house 😭

What are the chances of me getting my change approved by the family in the middle of half term? 😂😂
