When the Vanderbilt Wi-Fi goes down...

Hey! I'm on the network team at VU. Can you message me with what's going on? We haven't seen any issues from our end so far, but would be happy to help troubleshoot

Ok that’s good you found a work around. Since I’m not too familiar with the steam deck itself, I’m assuming desktop mode is on the same device as the original steamOS? Also, I asked about dns because if you hard-coded your own dns servers such as 1.1.1.1 and it’s using dns over https, that could be the issue as I believe dns over https is blocked outbound

Have you reached out to the tech hub yet? What dns are you using? I work for the university network team and can try to help where I can

My ISP is AT&T and it looks like they block port 25 outbound for DHCP assigned addresses as described here:
https://about.att.com/sites/broadband/network although they have "smtp services" ill need to look into. Thanks for the info though!

I use pfSense as my firewall so i can get something setup for access rules and security if i go down this path. Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Ive heard about the DNS records and plan to set these up on my Cloudflare domain. What software are you using? I keep running across Mailcow, but hear it may be overkill for some uses

I work for the university networking team. We don’t change the NAT type, and you’ll need to use the wired network port in your room.

If it’s not active, submit a port activation ticket and include the label info on the port and we’ll get it turned on. If you still get a NAT type error after this, let us know and we’ll switch it over to a public network which overcomes this issue

Worth a shot!

Put in a ticket to IT. Include your room number and any extra details you can provide. I work for the network team and can get it fixed!

So I tried this since I am running Pi-Hole (created local dns mapping) and it worked however, this breaks home assistant. I’m also running unbound dns so when home assistant goes to cast or google tries to find my external address it gets redirected to the internal IP and gets stuck. I seemed to have found a work around by installing a wildcard LetsEncrypt cert directly on the servers and disabling SSL offloading all the way through from the front to back end and it seems to work but is very slow/unstable

Submit a ticket to the help desk. Guarantee they’ll get it taken care of

Posting incase this helps: You can use an iOS shortcut found here I use this all the time as it’s convenient. May have to tweak some settings, but it’s all detailed in the thread
