CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@AAKL yeah I figure after everything goes to disaster there will be much finger pointing and something will change "so it doesn't happen again"

Wired has some more details on the issue. Basically, all currently existing models are fine. All new consumer grade routers that are assembled outside the US are banned until and unless they apply for and receive approval from the FCC.Link: https://www.wired.com/story/us-government-foreign-made-router-ban-explained/#Networking

New by me: The FCC’s Router Crackdown Shouldn’t Surprise Anyone in CybersecurityThis really did not come out of nowhere.Consumer Wi-Fi routers have been showing up in botnets, proxy networks, and larger cybersecurity conversations for years. The FCC action is really the policy side of a problem security folks have been watching for a long time.I wrote about the ruling, what it actually means, and why this is just as much a privacy story as it is a cybersecurity one.https://www.kylereddoch.me/blog/the-fccs-router-crackdown-shouldnt-surprise-anyone-in-cybersecurity/#Cybersecurity #Privacy #InfoSec #Networking

Well, OK then. This is a huge deal. The FCC is going to ban all foreign made consumer grade routers. The devil has always will be in the details of how it is enforcedHow much you want to bet that for any American produced home routers they are going to mandate features that make them easier for the government to track block and otherwise monitor?https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-updates-covered-list-include-foreign-made-consumer-routers#Networking #Internet #FCC #Router #Government #USA

@Larvitz or dual or tri wan opnsense - they make it pretty easy, generally

@itsfoss that looks pretty cool! I've been wanting an openwrt official for a while.I've been trying to get ipfire up and running on a rpi4 to use as a travel firewall but it looks like hardening openwrt with selinux and adding more firewall software is the way to go, so I'll probably take notes from turris. Thanks!Edit: obviously the little pi won't be able to contend with that beast but still, its a fun little decent project

Any Wireguard gurus out there?Is the following possible? I have a network behind two firewalls with the outer firewall being on CGNAT.I can create a WG tunnel via a VPS outside the CGNAT (random VPS on public Internet) to allow hosts on the network inside of the second firewall to expose TCP ports like an adhoc web server or whatever.This seems to work fine. I can curl a page inside the firewalls by connecting to the public VPS on the configured port for the tunnel.I've tried to get a Wireguard VPN connection to work over this tunnel. That is, a client outside the CGNAT firewall tries to create a VPN connection on the inside the second firewall. Trying to do this by creating a Wireguard VPN connection through an existing Wireguard tunnel.Both firewalls are OPNSense, remote client can be anything but am trying a Win 11 VM currently.I still need to spend more time working on it but I'm really not getting anywhere and was wondering...Is this even possible?Anyone done this? Perhaps there is a different/better approach I should try? All ears. #Wireguard #Networking #VPN

@LarvitzI'm looking forward to the #WireGuard tunnel for my home server

@HopelessDemigod Also not remotely enough flashy leds and funky tiny displays. Screw boring Ascends

Am I doing this correctly

Built some Grafana dashboard for my AS201379 BGP core-router (my two edge-routers will follow) Using node_exporter for FreeBSD and frr_exporter to get insights from the routing fabric.Nice!#grafana #networking #routing #ipb6 #freebsd #frr #monitoring

@dlakelan FWIW, I've had great results with the (now discontinued) EdgeRouter-X. It was sold at an amazing price point and I get ~970Mbps through it. Strictly Ethernet.

@drixter I installed a LG in my AS as well today https://lg.hofstede.it

A little video I picked up in r/shittysysadmin on reddit.It speaks to me 🤪#sysadmin #DNS #networking #routing #internet
