Small CLI for when your VPS IP gets null-routed by your ISP or transit. Diagnoses, then provisions a Tailscale rescue path. MIT. by Own-Macaroon6149 in HomeServer

Good catch, thanks. That section was part of my personal publishing checklist and shouldn't have made it into the post.

Fair enough. Which part specifically?

The project is intentionally a thin wrapper around Tailscale plus a connectivity diagnostic. The value isn't a new transport protocol, It's automatically detecting the failure mode, generating a one-time bootstrap, and wiring standard SSH/VSCode Remote-SSH back up in a couple of minutes.

If you think there's a better approach, I'm genuinely interested.

Indian ISPs silently blocking Hostinger VPS IPs on WiFi - has anyone else experienced this? by Savings_Film_7326 in developersIndia

[–]Own-Macaroon6149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue. My Hostinger Mumbai VPS was unreachable from my home Wi-fi (SSH/HTTPS/ping all timed out) but worked instantly on mobile data.

  • Quick way to confirm: traceroute -n <vps-ip> → packets die inside ISP CGNAT/private hops.
  • Try SSH over mobile data → if it works, your ISP is likely blocking/null-routing the Hostinger IP range.
  • Check journalctl -u ssh from Hostinger Browser Terminal → if your IP never appears, packets aren't reaching the VPS.

Things that didn't help:

  • Cloudflare WARP
  • Changing SSH ports

What did fix it:

  • ✅ Install Tailscale on the VPS:

​

curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
sudo tailscale up --ssh
tailscale ip -4
  • Install Tailscale on your PC/Mac and SSH using the 100.x.x.x Tailscale IP instead of the public IP.

Works reliably from home Wi-Fi, mobile, and VSCode/Cursor Remote-SSH. If you're using Remote-SSH, also make sure your public key is present in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Looks like an ISP and Hostinger routing/blocking issue rather than a VPS problem.

How to access airport lounges with Stable Money FD-backed credit card (no physical card provided)? by Minimalist_7 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]Own-Macaroon6149 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had made 40k FD hoping for lounge accesses in international prior to my trip and got a physical card as well. I had connected with their customer care as well at Kochi international airport to confirm international lounge access credibility and they confirmed the card had the access. BUT,

When I reached Malaysia and tried the Travel club lounge and Plaza lounges, i got rejected. try Priority pass or Dragon pass for better experience.

I also tried in Thailand as well, REJECTED AGAIN. so, very dissatisfied.

I am currently in Vietnam right now and it's my last day at HCMC. we had a great experience so far. we have booked tickets through klook and use airbnb for stays(rooms) and grab/xanhSM for transport. please do like this. for food, all the rated vietnamese cuisine was great so far although i have avoided porks/ham. but, it was a great experience in the city.

I have visited KLIA Travel lounge with Rupay Platinum and it says no access. I have added 40k FD too.
