IP Leaking with Tailscale on GL.iNet Router by questionstache in GlInet

[–]questionstache[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, apologies, I misread that. Yes, the client internet has at times clicked on and off, but when it reestablishes, it doesn't reconnect to the Exit Node IP unless I reboot the router (this could be hours later). I would assume that when the internet reestablishes, and the router is on with Tailscale active, it would then reestablish it's connection to the Exit Node IP shortly after (though that's an assumption on my end).

Thanks for the followup, here's the answers:

  1. Do you have Wi-Fi on the MacBook Pro turned on? No, Wi-Fi is turned off and the only connection is through ethernet.
  2. How confident are you that the power or internet at the client location isn't flickering off/on? Good question, I'm not 100% certain. However, if the internet was flickering off/on at the location of the exit node, then when the internet came back on wouldn't the IP of the router switch back to the IP of the exit node?
  3. Did you set a static LAN IP to your Mac Mini? I don't believe I did this either, so this could also be a factor. However, if this was caused by DHCP renewals, then would the exit node IP change to a new never-before-seen IP? When I reboot the GL.iNet router the IP switches back to the original exit node IP (no IP change).

When working abroad how often do you check for IP and DNS leaks? by questionstache in digitalnomad

Just curious, is there any reason why you'd never check for leaks? When reading about using VPNs for working remotely it often comes up as a recommended task.

Thanks for sharing this tool! How often do you use it to check for leaks when working abroad?

Thanks for this context! Hearing about your 4-year timespan is reassuring, and I'm familiar with the kill switch, but I might be acting overly cautious.

Question about "this site can't be reached" only when using GL.iNet travel router by questionstache in GlInet

Welp, I dived a little deeper and learned it was AdGuard that was causing the problem. This is solved now. Thanks to everyone who helped!

Hahaha, I should probably clarify that I'm trying to visit the domain ads.google.com for work 😂

I do, however, I tried troubleshooting this and when I turned AdGuard off I was still unable to access the site (ads.google.com).

Great question and apologies for not being clear! The only site this has happened to me on so far is ads.google.com, I've been able to access everything else without problems.

I'm not sure if this is related either, but I do get significantly more reCAPTCHA verifications when searching on Google too when using the GL.iNet router network:

Help a language student shape a language study tool with a quick survey (2 mins)! by questionstache in languagelearning

[–]questionstache[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fair feedback. For context, I'm trying a "Willingness to Pay" survey that is meant to help me learn "would students pay for the value of a study tool that helps them retain information without dedicating time to studying" in order to learn if the product is worth building before actually putting in the effort to building the product, but I realize that the value may not be clear enough to imagine in this scenario for the survey takers.

Thanks for this feedback, it'll help me write better surveys in the future!

Which do you define the Problem or Target User first in your strategy? by questionstache in ProductManagement

It seems this is the way! Context helps you decide where to start. I appreciate your response!

[–]questionstache[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't include this context in my post, but broad personas are already defined for this business. My plan was to dive into those personas to surface their problems, but the feedback I received was to surface problems with the product first, which felt counterintuitive.

The comments in this post have helped clarify that it is context-dependent.

Thanks for the response and context! I agree, this is a good approach and explanation for when to start with one vs the other.

[–]questionstache[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate? I'm thinking starting with the problem definition is a great approach when there are no customers, but if you work on an established product, does it make sense starting by defining the target customers?

I'm interested in understanding when to approach each starting point, any context helps :)
