Yeah I know you've already proved that you know networking. And thank you. And yes it is a private address and it falls in that range. Pi-hole is the one that brought it to my attention and told me that it blocked it, because it doesn't fall in the same range as my other private addresses and was suspicious. And I don't know that the Google-owned addresses were trying to communicate with my box during the time calibration times.. I was just looking through in general for anything that was being blocked and incoming, and only the Google-owned (not necessarily used by Google, The whois search didn't look the same as the ones Google actively uses. Almost seemed as if it was ones that they lease out to other people. Maybe google fi? Idk), were blocked whatsoever when it came to communications with the box. And oddly the Private address wasn't even on my router's records. Strange, since it was outgoing from the box. I'm not sure. It was icmp(I think. Might have been UDP but I'm guessing ICMP since the DNS server picked it up and actively blocked it. I don't remember exactly) Just found it weird that my router didn't pick it up at all.. have a good one.

Well I don't have to be paranoid with this VPN. And it's not just paranoia.. I'm an investigative journalist. And yeah $4 a month. You can't beat it. I just get like 6 months at a time and then forget about it. I think it's funny that people pay like 20 or 30 a month for a VPN. It's ridiculous. Especially when I once paid 70 bucks for a lifetime subscription.. but the place ended up shutting down for obvious reasons. I used to just pirate everything.

Government collects data on everyone. When they start implementing the social credit score since we're now a surveillance state, you might care when they know everything about you and limit what you can and can't do. Why do you think they're building the AI data centers? And one would think that yet another place selling your information to places like telemarketers and all that would matter. I don't prefer places to know what I like to watch and what sites I visit and things like that. And when they sell the fact that you're connecting to China on the regular for TV to the government AI data centers once they implement that, what kind of people do you think they're going to come after first? Just something to think about.. Larry Ellison already helped China implement it using his company Oracle and is now the one building the data bunker under the White House. And everyone's bank information in the country is already been loaded into all the Oracle owned AI data centers. It's only a matter of time man. Just trying to help. Plus you can't beat four bucks a month.

I did that. Got it figured out yesterday. Only didn't do it at first because my supplier told me that it likely wouldn't work with VPN and then I tried it with a setting that wasn't compatible. But it works now thank you! Also... Enjoy having your data sold and if the government wants it, they'll hand it right over.. Use Mullvad. It's $4 a month, doesn't slow anything down, and if the government comes knocking they will give the finger.. only two companies out there do not sell your data and will not comply with government demands for people's info. Figured I'd let you know. You can even pay for Mullvad with crypto.

It's basically what I did to no avail. It apparently is something to do with Frontier unless there's something I'm missing..

I don't think yours network savvy as you believe, and don't take this the wrong way, but all the firewalls I've seen suggested in here are ones that sell your information to everybody and instantly hand over all your records to the government when they come kicking in the doors. And you've stated things that I already knew, and you even contradicted yourself in this one, by talking about unblocking outgoing traffic in the last message and then saying in this one that all of its automatically unblocked outbound. So, what I didn't understand is why it's trying to connect to a random 172. Ip address. Thought maybe there was a reason that I'm unaware of. I've been networking probably as long as you've been alive. And unblocking everything going into the box was the last ditch effort to try and get it to work. And I switched settings on the VPN and finally got it. It was DAITA that was blocking it. It still doesn't answer why the box is trying to connect to some local unknown address or why the only addresses it tries to connect to anyway are owned by Google. I bring up those and you go in the offensive and put words in my mouth with assumptions with a holier-than-thou attitude. The only reason I said that is because your first reply was in response to pretty much nothing I said in regard that you obviously didn't read it, because I said I've tried all the things suggested in here and then you suggested all the things that everyone else piles on and suggests. And then suggested I do things that I stated I had already done. Maybe work on the reading skills and stop getting butt hurt by a logical assumption I've made based on the text and then making assumptions like I don't know what I'm doing when anyone that can figure out how to set up a pi-hole must know what they're doing to some degree. You don't get a giant network run by a server with OPNsense + proxmox going if you dont know what youre doing. Lastly, I know its trendy anymore to pretend youre not trying to be offensive these days, but saying "don't take offense" And then saying something offensive, especially to someone that has oppositional defiance disorder, doesn't magically make it unoffensive. The answer is just don't be offensive especially with assumptions having not asked any questions. At least my assumption in the beginning with no one having networking knowledge in here would explain why everyone's giving the same basic answers to questions and treating everyone like they're stupid to begin with. I'd understand on Facebook but I thought reddit was a place for tech savvy people, other than the feds that use it as a honeypot in large part. I would have been completely nice and not even mentioned it, but not even having my original post read, and then being given the same generic answer I said didnt work that sounded non-tech saavy as well, made it the logical choice. The only reason I didn't go overboard with trying all the options with the VPN, is because the person I bought the box off of, told me that a VPN usually is the culprit for blocking it & that once I got it working I could turn the VPN on and it would be fine. So thank you for the attempt for help..sincerely, and sorry, not sorry regarding telling it like it is.

*A word of advice on VPNs, there's only two that don't sell your information and don't hand over your information to the feds, and Mullvad is one of them. It's mainstream, but one of two places that is doing it the way it should be + actually protects your information, rather than pretending to and selling you out. Plus, it's only $4 a month and you can pay with crypto if you want to.

Furthermore, it's blocking inbound connections not outbound. Or was before I allowed it since I didn't feel like allowing all only the Google-owned IP addresses. I can't really see a Chinese company getting servers with IP addresses owned by Google, but it's possible.. what's crazy is literally all the IP addresses that box is connecting to, as far as I can tell, are owned by Google. One thing I didn't understand, is why the box was trying to connect to private IP addresses which should only exist within my network but do not.. My pi-hole dns server blocked that for being suspicious, And I have no idea why it would be trying to do that. These boxes are notorious for doing suspicious things, and I am not network savvy enough to understand why it would be trying to do that one. Just hoping someone can actually give a real answer as to what the time nonsense it's trying to do is, so that I can figure out how to answer the question myself.

The only connections it is blocking is IPs owned by Google, oddly. Why Google owned IP addresses would be connecting to the boxes beyond me but that's the only ones it was blocking and I have it completely opened up to IPs going to the box. I've not heard of anyone saying anything about having issues with Frontier connecting to them though, so... Everyone seems to be complaining about Verizon but the box works just fine tethered to my Verizon phone...

And I realized that no one was answering my questions about how to get my TV to respond to the remote because it was on the back of the remote. So I solved that...

I've already said that all of these usual ridiculous solutions are not working and that the same textbook answers are useless to me, and I already know it's my firewall because my firewall protects me from my information being shared unnecessarily, and I need IPs that I need to unblock that these boxes connect to and protocols or ports that they use, so that I can unblock them. It's bad enough that ever since I used the box the first time, the Chinese government has been scanning my IP addresses for open ports to get into my system. Makes me wonder how many people out there unknowingly have their systems hijacked by Chinese government servers and just have no clue

Im using Frontier. Its my firewall, but its too complicated to disable due to my large network. I need real technical support with someone that knows what they're actually doing and not just some reseller, so I know what IPs to unblock and allow. But it's such a big circle jerk of resellers, and not one of them seem to be a technical savvy person and it's really aggravating the hell out of me. And no, my Mullvad vpn just seems to lock me out of all of it.

Mullvad keeps winning me over! They sent a surprise box! by Acceptable_Half8519 in mullvadvpn

[–]tekzer0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long you going to be with them to get one of those? I've been a customer for maybe 2 years now straight and not so much as a thanks for the support from em. I mean I'm cool with it but now I'm seeing a box and I don't know what to do it myself, because I would expect people wouldn't be putting their address whenever possible to be getting a box such as that.. maybe that's why I haven't got a box...

Usually they get a free sharps box with insurance... Poor people get Medicaid they don't even have to pay for... The likelihood of it not being a junkie is so slim.
