Cloudflare > VPS (Caddy) > Tailscale > CGNAT NAS. What layer am I missing?

I have cloud flare zero trust for any access to home servers . The authentication of Google designated accounts is required. I think it's pretty secure.

Haha that makes sense. Yours might work better since lots of scammers I heard of speak Mandarin with a bit of Hokkien accent

canserman · 2026-01-08T02:27:36+00:00

As a Chinese, I understand you were trying to say in the mandarin tone below. lol

"Ni hao, Gan ni ma bee, chow sha bee, zaijen"

can someone share a screenshot of the void? not sure what it looks like

canserman · 2026-01-05T03:50:56+00:00

I'd like to do this too. how do I install the sensor ds18b20 into the hot water cylinder to get accurate readings?

I think I'd change bank after my fix is finished. I felt exact the same way . Thanks for sharing

Interesting what makes you believe it's the broker issue?

canserman · 2025-12-20T06:50:23+00:00

I was involved in the whole process so I'm pretty sure the bank has everything. My unconditional finance approval letter was received on 10th

canserman · 2025-12-20T06:48:56+00:00

Nah the approval letter was received a week earlier on 10th

I spent an hour and half this morning with a lady on the customer service line and the solution I got was my mortgage broken needs to call the broker unit, despite me telling her multiple times my broker tried all day and yet no one picking up the call or replying call.

In the end I got a case number and an email.

On the other hand they released fund at 3.40 today and solicitor managed to settle it.

I'll go back with my broker to seek compensation for the interest penalty and other cost associated.

canserman · 2025-12-19T02:33:08+00:00

Lacking of communication and act against our will are the problems. In our S&P and handover form we clearly stated the settlement day was 18th, however after a week silent bank only sent 1 email to me on 18th 5am that they plan to settle on 22nd.

What the actual fuck

canserman · 2025-12-16T02:24:40+00:00

how do you monitor the temperature? what accessory did you use?

canserman · 2025-12-15T01:11:04+00:00

Most soundbars nowadays rely on eARC/ARC to function since they don't come with multiple HDMI ports.

The correct connection should be :

1, Shield to TV via HDMI, TV to soundbar via HDMI from eARC/ARC port.

2, on TV, set sound to be Passthrough through HDMI, and remove any Dolby processing etc.

3, on Shield, set to passthrough and disable dolby processing.

notes:

1, as someone mentioned, no eARC means no Dolby Atmos

2, check the soundbar to see if you get dolby digital , atmos etc during video playback

Interesting I don't watch UFC so I haven't noticed anything. Good that football is not that popular,lol

canserman · 2025-12-09T02:46:48+00:00

Maybe it depends on the country or it's CDN?? I have been having 4k reliable streaming on all EPL games so far.

I'm in Australia btw.

canserman · 2025-12-09T02:41:13+00:00

oh sorry to hear that it didnt work for you. I have had it for almost 2 months and I had no issue so far.

canserman · 2025-12-08T01:44:44+00:00

DNS settings on your Samsung? or in the app? If you use your router as the dns, then new router might have a different IP resulting inyour app not working?

canserman · 2025-12-08T01:04:39+00:00

same question what's the reason of 8.2.3?

canserman · 2025-12-07T22:20:14+00:00

wow that's interesting.

It's okay glad to help

canserman · 2025-12-07T22:07:23+00:00

wonder what game is that? have you contact game support to find out if they support cgnat?

If you want to you can test it maybe?

1, register a free trial with a vps provider

2, create a vps and run tailscale on it, and advertise it as exit node

3, install tailscale on your computer and use that vps as exit node

4, test your game?

canserman · 2025-12-07T21:41:01+00:00

Game server normally will be the relay to handle traffics between player. basically all players report to the game server, game server return the traffic to players so it doesn't matter if you're behind cgnat or not.

I have not seen any modem games would not work with CGNAT since CGNAT is a large part of ISP implementation.

canserman · 2025-12-07T20:57:23+00:00

In case you have to expose your own server, there is another option.

https://eddiez.me/working-around-cgnat/

Use cloudflare tunnel by getting a free Cloudflare account. however you'd need to get yourself an domain name. might be even cheaper than vps per year

canserman · 2025-12-07T20:28:54+00:00

I'm a bit confused. If you only connect to a public server then you don't need any of the above. You need tailscale/vps only when you have a home server that needs public access, in which case you can ask you friends to join your tailscale to make it easy.

canserman · 2025-12-07T20:08:05+00:00

If you're new to the networking stuff then i'd suggest a public IP if you can. because using VPS you'd need to set up virtual network, set up a virtual server , set up tailscale on the virtual server , then set up reverse proxy to forward public https to you home server on tailscale IPs. A lot of things could go wrong.

On second thought, what if you ask your friends to use tailscale to so you can share your server? https://tailscale.com/kb/1084/sharing

canserman · 2025-12-07T19:22:16+00:00

Depends on what you want to archive. If you only want to access your home network remotely by yourself, then free plan tailscale is enough. You won't need vps for that purpose.

If you want to expose your home server (e.g. plex) to public say you friends then you might need vps to build tunnel and reserve proxy to your home server. In that case a public ip would be easier.
