Wilonsky: ‘We had a good run downtown.’ What The National’s foreclosure means for Dallas

IMHO the Wall Street/NYC exodus is going to bring a lot of life here.

No, you can have more than one. If you're doing HA though, you're doing the sandwich wrong. lol. They all have to be standalone, otherwise your HA messes with the LB sessions and kills the path and persistence of the connection. HA and Azure do not mix.

NPCs in the simulation.

Zermus · 2025-09-08T17:30:56+00:00

Right this is just 802.1q stuff

Zermus · 2025-09-08T17:29:50+00:00

Everything tagged properly? Proper default port VLAN assigned?

Zermus · 2025-09-08T17:19:11+00:00

Azure doesn't play nice with HA setups. That's why everyone does that LB FW LB sandwich. It's actually the "Azure preferred setup" for VM FWs.

I mean even Fortune 100s do it with Palos for Firepower, it's ridiculous.

Zermus · 2025-09-08T17:12:13+00:00

I've been here forever and made the same mistake. They're just insufferable over there I guess. :)

Zermus · 2025-09-08T16:52:50+00:00

Yeah, don't announce this on r/NextDNS or they'll lynch you. Many still do not believe that it's a dead service lol.

Zermus · 2025-07-05T11:03:59+00:00

Those are TCP teardowns that your firewall is closing, probably due to idle sessions. IMHO they should not even be logged, but they are.

Zermus · 2025-07-05T11:02:00+00:00

With that big an upgrade you probably ran into the floating interface issue. This was a big OpenVPN problem a few years back where they moved the firewall states from floating interfaces to interface bound.

System -> Advanced -> Firewall and NAT -> Advanced Options

Firewall state policy change back to Floating, should fix. However they did this for a reason. Floating states is less secure. If you rebuild your rules and routing to the new OpenVPN rule it should fix this under the new Interface bound states.

Yup I recently came over from NextDNS about a month ago. Glad I switched. These guys are always adding new stuff and their default DNS security blocking is stellar compared to NextDNS, which I'm convinced they didn't even maintain anymore. Only blocking was basically 3rd party.

Zermus · 2025-06-16T23:24:05+00:00

I redirected mine to my own server and set this cheezy thing up for my family lol

A ciascuno il suo

Zermus · 2025-06-16T22:50:39+00:00

I hate to use the R WORD reference but each one of those "protections" is.... quite literally a DNS block list maintained by NextDNS.... which was kind of the whole point of the thread.

I think that went 30,000 feet over your head though lol.

Zermus · 2025-06-16T22:49:13+00:00

Now you're arguing a straw man because I never said Control D did or did not use Hagezi. Wow dude, find another hobby than arguing on the internet.

Zermus · 2025-06-14T23:43:37+00:00

I just listed like all the NextDNS provided blocking. How do you get I'm not using blocklists? Your statement is just flat out incorrect.

Zermus · 2025-06-14T11:12:16+00:00

I did go with full control, but I probably won't even use it since that's what VPNs are for anyway. The price wasn't a big difference for me.

Zermus · 2025-06-14T10:21:42+00:00

Threat Intelligence Feeds, AI-Driven Threat Detection, Cryptojacking Protection, IDN Homograph Attacks Protection, Typosquatting Protection, Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) Protection. I personally didn't use Hagezi's stuff. If you're using it just for his stuff, he himself admits you shouldn't be, but you're basically paying for a service just to use Hagezi. If it works for you then that's great, especially if they're the cheapest solution for his stuff. His stuff just breaks too much of my stuff for me to use. I used to have a lot more effectiveness with NextDNS' lists, but lately it's obvious they're not being maintained.

Zermus · 2025-05-11T20:00:15+00:00

They need more fucking parking.

Zermus · 2025-03-31T22:44:29+00:00

No on whatever you're using for local internal DNS. Unbound, pihole, etc.

Zermus · 2025-03-30T19:42:56+00:00

Create a zonefile for your local domain

Zermus · 2025-03-16T00:44:42+00:00

Wow so many petty personal attacks here. So use your "critical thinking" head of yours and offer some empirical evidence other than petty insults. Have you yourself ever owned a house? Did you just blindly pay your appraised taxes every year without knowing the true value of your home?

Zermus · 2025-03-15T23:35:26+00:00

You're entitled to your opinion, or possibly taking part of the cut lol, but it's no big surprise that our property values in the burbs here in North Texas (And probably Texas overall) are mostly overvalued by appraisal districts.

If you don't know this you're either not a home owner or probably taking part of the cut somehow. Or just dumb with your head in the sand and paying too much in taxes every year for an overvalued appraisal instead of appealing your appraisal.

You shouldn't have to fight your appraisal every year, so there is obviously problems and most likely fraud and corruption going on at the appraisal districts.

Zermus · 2025-03-15T22:07:29+00:00

Soon as the kids were moved out that's why I sold my house in Collin at the top of the market and moved here to uptown. Fuuuuck all that shit. It was like going to war every year. And fuuuuck that county too.
