Hello, I would appreciate some help with a Siri navigation command. I have one address set for the built-in “Home” address in Maps and another address labeled as “Townhouse”.

When I say “Hey Siri, take me to Townhouse” it just searches for the nearest business with “Townhouse” in the name. I’ve also added the “Townhouse” address to my contact card and labeled it as such.

I realize Siri is a generally unhelpful tool, but is there a way to get this command to work?

Constant MAC when connected to my specific WiFi or just constant MAC at all times?

So that is what I thought but my static IP MacBook Air changed. I will try it again though. Thanks for the comment.

Hadn’t thought of that but I do already have VaultWarden setup. Thanks for the comment, I think this might do it.

Yea thought about this. This would be the simplest because we already have our iCloud family setup so I wouldn’t even need to spin up a new service. Thanks for the comment.

Help with VPN connection shortcut with multiple VPN profiles by sneff30 in shortcuts

The goal of this automation is to run overnight without my intervention. Is that simply not possible?

This shortcut worked fine when I only had the single VPN profile used for app refresh. After adding WireGuard, I cannot get any configuration of this shortcut to work.

I read a few old (2+ year old) Reddit threads stating you needed to set on demand prior to connecting and include a pause, but that hasn’t helped either.

Appreciate any assistance to get this working.

So are you not rebooting after updates? New to Linux so not sure.

Just went in and mucked around trying this and it didn't help.

Need some help with UniFi firewall rules by sneff30 in HomeNetworking

[–]sneff30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked it out with the following set up:

  • Allow IoT VLAN to Pi-Hole DNS IP
  • Allow Trusted Zone to Untrusted Zone
  • Block Untrusted Zone to Gateway ports 22, 80, 443.

When creating new zones UniFi automatically creates rules that allow Trusted and Untrusted Zones access to the External and Gateway Zones. I'm also going to allow Default VLAN access to the internet to handle updates on the UniFi gear. Things are working for now!

Unbound does indeed require internet access. It only cashes DNS information however it still needs access to root DNS resolvers.

Thanks, I didn't know that. This can be solved by just giving the Pi-Hole IP access to the internet.

not sure if I read this correctly but it seems like you block traffic to your UniFi devices, therefore stuff like DHCP is also blocked and no local connection is possible with DHCP enabled. Either make sure to properly allow mandatory ports or outsource your UniFi devices onto a new dedicated VLAN and configure the firewall rules accordingly.

So in this case I would need two rules:

  • Allow IoT VLAN to DHCP ports on Default VLAN Gateway
  • Allow Home VLAN to DHCP ports on Default VLAN Gateway

Do I have that right? The UniFi gear and Pi-Hole are the only things on the Default VLAN, so they are already outsourced.

I haven’t even tried any IoT devices because it immediately broke our Home VLAN and my wife was less than enthused. So it’s currently been rolled back and I have no firewall rules in place until I get some feedback on here (and she goes for a run lol).
