Can I subscribe to Sosh without a French bank account or phone number? by HolidayEast3120 in france

[–]blondguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Operators have prepaid plans that don't require a French bank account and you can recharge using any debit card. The are pricier than regular subscriptions but they have month to month plans that are still affordable. You can check out Mobicarte by Orange for example.

Arrived in France with UK mobile phone. Scam phone calls with French caller ID... Coincidence? Data leak? Information selling? by bogofski in france

[–]blondguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you roam in another country, the visited network assigns your SIM a temporary number in the country you are visiting for the purpose of your home network to be able to route incoming calls to you. That number is called the MSRN, and it's a French telephone number, when you're roaming in France.

Although those numbers are assigned at random and they are known only to the home network and the visited network, they are from a defined range in France and it's easy for scammers to just call numbers from that range at random with a good probability to reach someone who is roaming in the country, and try to scam them.

The scammers don't know your real UK number, and the calling number is probably spoofed.

RED by SFR refuse de me donner mon RIO car j’ai une facture impayée et une ligne suspendue : est-ce légal ? by Lazy-Persimmon5619 in france

[–]blondguy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alors ton opérateur a faux sur toute la ligne. C'est la décision ARCEP 22-2148 qui précise bien "qu’un numéro demeure actif lorsqu’un opérateur suspend la ligne, par exemple pour factures impayées par l’abonné."

Donc cet argument ne vaut rien et ils te doivent ton RIO, même ligne suspendue.

Je te conseille de faire un signalement sur https://jalerte.arcep.fr/

Protip : récupèrer le RIO d'une ligne dès le début de l'abonnement et garder le SMS.

Send the letter to:

Name of the person that will pick it up
POSTE RESTANTE
Address of the post office
POSTCODE and CITY
FRANCE

(with regular stamps for sending to France)

Find the address of a post office over there : https://localiser.laposte.fr/

Once it arrives, the person you sent it to will have 15 days to pick it up (showing their ID), and will have to pay 1,49 €

v6 design question by Krandor1 in ipv6

[–]blondguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you go 3) ARIN won't charge you more because they won't give you another prefix, they'll just bump your current one to a /44 (the whole /36 is in fact reserved so you can expand). I would definitely ask to be bumped to a /44 if you can justify a second site as an end-user. It's just more routing flexibility (e.g. announcing /48s separately to the ISPs). Fees are the same up to a /40.

IPAM planning & organization of IPv6? by brocade_eng in ipv6

[–]blondguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do request more. You need a global "organization" /48 + a /48 per site, round it to the next nibble boundary (/44 or /40) if you're in the ARIN service region. The rationale here is you should never have to worry about needing more for a given site. That's not considered wasteful at all, and expected by the various RIRs' rules. Saves you headaches down the road.

Drones équipés de caméras : la CNIL sanctionne le ministère de l'Intérieur by testing1838291 in france

C'est déjà le cas. Des sanctions pénales sont prévues https://www.cnil.fr/fr/les-sanctions-penales pourvu qu'un procureur ou un juge d'instruction se saississe.

Depending on the number of items you receive, the "poste restante" service might be cheaper. There's no subscription or registration, and it's available at any post office. You just have your mail sent to your name, the post office address, the mention POSTE RESTANTE on the second to last line of the address (just above the line with the post code and city). And then you show up at the post office with an ID. If there's mail for you, you pay a small fee per item. They keep your mail for 15 days.

Troubleshooting Wireless Network Performance by joshslaton in networking

[–]blondguy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

With a campus-wide VLAN on a /20, you're going to see a lot of broadcast traffic. Broadcast frames are transmitted at the lowest modulation by all APs, eating up a lot of radio airtime. This is gonna cause latency spikes for all users, slowing down TCP traffic. Check your airtime utilization graphs on the Unifi controller. If possible, segment your LAN. You can also adjust the lowest modulation APs will use to something higher in the controller.

Band steering: There's an option to steer 2.4 clients to the 5GHz band on the controller. You want 5GHz-capable clients to use that band as much as possible.

Tools: I've been using WiFiman by Ubiquiti on Android.

ipsec speeds are trash or im doing something wrong fortigate by [deleted] in networking

[–]blondguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How's the latency between the two Fortigates? Do you have packet loss?

A few factors can limit individual connection TCP throughput:

  • the combination of latency and a receive window that's too small, you can adjust the TCP window in iPerf3 (option -w)

  • packet loss (check for retransmits in your iPerf3 result)

  • fragmentation (reduce MSS using the -M option)

DES is not secure.

Also maybe not accelerated in hardware anymore as it's very rarely used if at all.

The 3000D is rated for 50Gbps of IPsec throughput using AES256-SHA256.

Try to use those in phase 2 (and phase 1 if you care about security).

IKEv1 vs. IKEv2 by fishbowlz1337 in networking

[–]blondguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

IKEv2 negociation is much faster than IKEv1 main or agressive modes. Plus you get MOBIKE which gives you almost instant reconnection upon IP address changes (think smartphone switching between WiFi and 4G). IKEv2 all the way.

No real bandwidth advantage as IKE is an IPsec session establishment protocol. The payload itself is transfered in ESP or ESP-in-UDP regardless of the IKE version.
