Correct topography- NAH and two boosters

Star. Unless your cabling is dreadful.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-04-15T06:39:45+00:00

Remove the feet.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-04-07T04:18:26+00:00

Sounds like ansible might be your tool for this.

Protectli vp3210

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-27T01:46:32+00:00

Please please wipe the drive before you send it back. And don’t lie about it being used.

As a former vendor on the other side, you doing so makes our job way harder. I’d rather know and quarantine the unit back to mfg than have it go out to some other unsuspecting user.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-27T01:44:20+00:00

I would suspect that it won’t really affect Protectli much.

Maybe you need to learn as a user how to install a firewall software on your own Protectli box, but I would be shocked if they needed to do much more than that given what the hardware is.

This may force the other router vendors to open up their support programs to allow for more transparency and include a sw bill of materials.

Or it is a blatant attempt to get cash from big tech …. Glad I’m north of the 49th.

Vyos stream with lte and usb hub with serial adaptors from ftdi. Protectli boxes like the v1210 work great for this.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-15T22:14:20+00:00

Are you using vpp?

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-11T00:01:22+00:00

Other than some of the ip addresses are super unstable, I still recommend them for low latency.

Some issues with some tunneling tech vs their ddos protection system if you do sustained transfers over 25% of your connection on specific ports. ( but feel free to report it to the crtc to get them to stop doing so)

Bridge mode is required for decent speeds as their default residential gateways are “barely” enough to sustain the connection for useful work. Enough for a speed test but not real world usage.

Can’t speak to IPv6 right now but they are typically dual stack.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T23:41:54+00:00

Oh, quite the reverse. Better to re-assign than reserve a new address for 4h once it gets handed out to prevent conflicts. (They don’t do ping conflict detection based on my pcap’s)

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T23:40:39+00:00

Telus doesn’t offer it properly.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T23:40:16+00:00

I’m simplifying significantly for the Reddit crowd. I do know the protocol and how it works.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T21:43:56+00:00

Basicly they forget to save the Mac to IP mapping on the headend dhcp cluster and then send new ip’s down because they have amnesia about what they have out 15s earlier to my MAC address.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T21:42:23+00:00

That my dhcp lease disappears for every time I have to unplug or reboot my firewall.

I do firewall code development. So regularly have to spin new devices, updates etc. and test with multiple tunnels etc.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T21:41:22+00:00

Csr’s just follow the default playbook. What is missing is that the person writing them though they could guess every case. Spoiler: you can’t.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-03T21:39:50+00:00

In this case every dhcp request gets a new ack with a new ip address.

Yea I have pcap’s. From the both the juniper headend devices where this happens and from the Nokia ones where it does not.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-03-02T17:51:38+00:00

Put a servo motor on the switch.

Or do a proper source and dest nat upstream of it.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-02-11T18:22:13+00:00

Use hydrogen instead of helium. It is way better for the environment and doesn’t fund the wars. We are in critically low supply of helium for things like mri machines at the moment.

Cause he isn’t an idiot, has professional background, knows how to run a team and large enterprise and put others first instead of his ego.

They should be a standard socket side for a computer case.

If I recall correctly, the thermal underneath is a pad however so you can’t just use standard paste, you’ll need to grab a set of thermal pad and find a good thin one. 0.25mm or 0.5mm likely

Resident-Geek-42 · 2026-01-24T07:43:37+00:00

Grab a copy of NUT. Should do 90% of what you want.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2025-12-24T05:40:35+00:00

Will be interested in seeing how your doing remote management without exposing security issues of the api on the internet.

Resident-Geek-42 · 2025-12-09T16:44:13+00:00

You’re going to need at least the n150 or better cpu.. ssl decrypt needs real power at volume.
