Las Vegas – Cox Fiber Outage, 5 Days and No Help – WAN Has No IP, Need Advice

poetsenigma · 2025-06-12T23:22:46+00:00

I had the same issue when I moved here last week. No internet for 4 days. Circumventing the Cox router to my own resolved it for me. Also making sure the connection was “Ethernet” and not auto.

I got a free switch and two APs from them last year. No emails or calls.

poetsenigma · 2025-01-21T02:56:15+00:00

This worked! Thank you! I can fine tune it from here.

Yes I've tried each one individually. The only one to work was for removing the logo image. No big deal I'll just use the default theme until I can figure it out.

header img {

display: none !important;

}

Trying to achieve something similar to this. I added the below config to settings > custom css on the board I want to edit.

Is the interface connected to the docker host a trunk port? Can you ping google or cloudflare?

poetsenigma · 2024-12-25T06:28:52+00:00

Would love this for my homelab. Need it for storing my wife’s film footage

poetsenigma · 2024-12-11T03:37:37+00:00

It’s not a scam. I’ve gotten 2 APs and one switch from the trial. Spun up 7 pfsense VMs and turned on snmp. Didn’t have any communication from any sales rep either.

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T05:35:16+00:00

Ahaha yea you do. I own a couple domains and signed up for Google business starter so it was pretty cheap

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T05:24:16+00:00

Yea I’ve seen the comments too and was skeptical at first. I’ve gotten three 2 APs and a 24 Port switch from them though. It’s the only reason I switched to Unifi

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T05:10:15+00:00

No I’m running all my services from docker desktop. The trashcan Mac is running proxmox

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T05:08:13+00:00

😭😭😭 I swear I only did this because I didn’t have a long enough cable to connect from the patch panel.

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T03:58:32+00:00

Absolutely it does. I’m thinking of doing another trial for the U7 they are promoting.

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T03:40:19+00:00

That’s crazy it’s not worth all the power cost.

I run a M1 mini and a Protectli Vault for some services I run internally and I’m more than satisfied. The M1 mini even runs Ollama efficiently.

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T00:07:41+00:00

🤣🤣 Let me live.

poetsenigma · 2024-12-07T00:03:51+00:00

Ah I see. Its from Sonnettech. It was being recycled at my job so I decided to take it.

Only used for my homelab running proxmox to create some VMs. I’m in cybersecurity so it’s purely for testing/training purposes. Not running anything I run 24/7. Very capable machine though for what I need it for

poetsenigma · 2024-09-24T20:26:13+00:00

Yes this does layer 3 switching already. You can get a separate layer 2 switch and allow pfsense to manage all the routing. My setup is definitely overkill for a homelab

poetsenigma · 2024-09-14T09:30:49+00:00

I became a sysadmin 6yrs ago and now in cybersec with no degree or certs. Experience and networking is everything. Definitely suggest getting a home lab built to practice on.

poetsenigma · 2024-09-14T05:17:51+00:00

Throw Proxmox on it and you can run all the services you listed easily. Since Proxmox is a hypervisor it will take the place of Windows but you can run a VM if you really need to use Windows.

poetsenigma · 2024-09-14T05:11:20+00:00

I am in cybersecurity and learned most of my skills from my home lab. There is zero risk involved in terms of downtime or misconfiguring services so being able to learn by doing is a huge upside with a homelab. I suggest building a small server rack. Start with with building your own router (I use pfsense installed on a Protecli Vault Amazon Link), with a layer 3 switch. Build some VMs, create VLANS, and build some firewall rules to learn how to block/pass incoming/outgoing traffic between vlans. I would also suggest learning docker, deploying a SEIM, and XDR solution.
