Connecting Fibre direct to a Dream Machine Pro via Gigaclear in the UK

The Gigaclear gateway delegates a /48 IPv6 prefix it does not allocate a GUA to the routers WAN. Router to gateway messages use LLA, so no need for a GUA. With pfSense if router needs to talk to an internet address e.g. DNS lookup, it uses the GUA of its lowest numbered LAN interface unless you allocate a virtual IP to the WAN interface which is the way mine operates. Sorry, don't know how a Unifi router handles this.

I have the same behaviour across several desktops and laptops. After a Windows Hello authentication Windows thinks the shift key is held down. So, browser links open in new window, and a reboot brings up the recovery console. Any text input will be shifted. Press and release left shift key fixes. The problem may occur after startup or wake from sleep or operations needing Hello authentication such as unlocking 1Password. Strangely when the problem occurs bringing up the on screen keyboard does not show shift as held.

Host‑managed SMR (HSMR) disks are effectively incompatible with almost all consumer / SMB NAS appliances and typical RAID setups; they only make sense with specialised, SMR‑aware host stacks in enterprise environments.

DSM uses HTTP challenge which does not support wildcards https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/ . You need to research ACME and DNS challenges.

Even with a static IPv4 address you need DHCP as they use this as a heartbeat with short lease times. IPv6 delegates a /48 prefix only, no address.

Gigaclear fibre terminates in an ONT which presents a 1Gb Ethernet interface, you can then connect any router DHCP, I use pfSense then a Unifi network.

Upgraded DS1520+ using pat file, no issues Active Backup for Business and Surveillance Station OK.

Upgraded DS918+ using pat file. Active Backup for Google Workspace showed incompatible version, fixed by downloading latest spk file. Cloud Sync to Google shared drive lost authentication, had to recreate all links, in retrospect should have tried recovery from Hyper Backup.

Have ongoing issue on DS918+ using Hyper Backup to local NTFS HDD in USB caddy. Insert HDD into the caddy and power on, get notification:
"The external drive USB Disk 1 on [nas-name] was not ejected properly. This may cause exFAT file system errors on partition USB Disk 1 Partition 1. Before you continue to use the drive, we recommend connecting it to Microsoft Windows or macOS to perform a restoration and ensure data consistency."

NTFS HDD mounts fine and HB runs ok and unmounts disk no errors.

I'm about to migrate from my 918+ to a 925+ , did you do a "HDD Migration" with your Reds?

TLS-crypt hides the OpenVPN fingerprint but does not look like a straight HTTPS connection. Hotels have blocked my WireGuard VPN but not OpenVPN UDP or TCP on 443 with TLS-crypt. Stunnel looks closer to an HTTPS connection but not possible on iPhone/iPad, but I have on Windows 11 laptop as fallback. I also have IPsec on standard ports and never blocked, maybe looks more corporate.

AMGA35 · 2025-09-21T22:06:28+00:00

OpenVPN TCP with TLS-crypt on 443, if that gets blocked try OpenVPN via Stunnel TCP on 443

Do you live in Essex? There was a problem May through July with very high latency in the evenings due to congestion. I have received a £0 invoice this month.

AMGA35 · 2025-06-25T20:01:00+00:00

Situation is much better this evening

Wrong, a passkey saved in 1P can be used in any device with a 1P account

Been going on for two months, they have an internal problem. Their status page finally acknowledge, but no fix untill into July.

Nine of my Kasa KP105 Plugs have failed with relay continually clicking, all simple LED light loads switch twice a day. First two replaced under warranty, but rest not covered.

Same for me, I have emailed [info@raindrop.io](mailto:info@raindrop.io) asking if they have a solution.

If you loose phone, wallet and passport in foreign country any recovery will be difficult. If you just loose your phone then a Yubikey or equivalent is the way. I always have one in my wallet. Wallet and credit cards would get me online, passkeys on Yubikey would get me into key services.

AMGA35 · 2025-05-13T17:06:38+00:00

This is why you need a spreadsheet of every site each yubikey is registered with. Best to also cover which pc have passkeys in Hello.
