@lina we had a 1476 bytes MTU on the PPPoE interface. I would have expected a 1396 bytes MTU on the #WireGuard tunnel interface, but ping's with various sizes showed it had to be 1392 instead. Does that make sense, would the padding explain that?

I forget who the Arch Linux expert out there is, but I can't get wireguard to resolve DNS at all. And my laptop has the exact same setup, and it works fine. I have tried everything I can think of or look up. If anybody out there can help me shed some light on this, I'm using a ProtonVPN config. Thanks! And a boost would be welcome if you're amenable... ;>)

If you have used and loved #Tailscale, and you still like the product but want a sensible insurance option to reduce your exposure to potential #enshittification, what *hosted* options have you looked at as alternatives?

Part of the appeal of #Tailscale for me at least was that they provided a really thoughtful UX layer over some existing cool OSS tech like #wireguard.

Also, many of us have tried self-hosting and want to minimise what they self host if at all possible.

MastodonJonathan Gerlach (@JonathanGerlach@mastodon.social)I've been really liking Tailscale, but they just took $160 million in funding and I have a weird feeling that the lenders will want to make that money back plus a profit.

FFS! A server can't run both #Docker *and* #Wireguard on #Linux.

Docker creates a "bridge" network interface which, apparently, interferes with WireGuard.

That was a depressing evening of eliminating the impossible. Completely stopping Docker allowed my VPN to connect.

And there's no way to actually run a Docker container without the network bridge (any documentation that says otherwise is lying).

Through a #wireguard tunnel ssh works in both directions.

With wireguard use PersistentKeepAlive on the "forgetting" side of NAT. Usually a home modem does NAT, so the computer that is not at home needs PersistentKeepAlive, and the home modem ideally has a fixed IP address or a DNS host name.

#SysadminLife pondering…

Given
- Remote #Debian/#Ubuntu server
- can‘t be accessed from internet
- behind (CG-)NATv4, no IPv6
- can reach any outside tcp/udp port

- A network under my full control
- Firewall can do: #IPSec, #Wireguard, #OpenVPN, #Tailscale/#Headscale Client
- I can self host any opensource service/container, and expose it

Challenge
- Make services on that server accessible TO my network
- server MUST NOT reach ONTO my network
- No 3rd party service dependence

Hey #homelab users!

You probably already know me by my free @BoxyBSD project and I often got asked about IPv4 addresses. Currebtly, I tinker with a new but also honestly not free service. The idea is creating a static IP service for homelab users. I'm aware that there're already some around, so what could be some benefits here?

- Static single #IPv4 & #IPv6 /48 (so you can subnet your homelab to several /64 without breaking #slacc)
- Bigger subnets (IPv4: /29, /28, /27 | IPv6: /32)
- Full RIPE personalization (inc. abuse & Co)
- #OpenVPN, #Wireguard, #GRE Support
- Auto configure (e.g., you load the wireguard config on any client and the addresses Arena immediately bound to that interface)
- Split usage / multiple tunnels: Use different IPs from your subnets at different locations
- Integration into #BoxyBSD
- Location in Germany or Netherlands (selectable)
- Hosted on redundant #FreeBSD nodes

Pricing:
- The starter package probably around 10€/month (not more) + 15€ setup including 2T traffic
- Pricing for addiriinal/larger subnets not yet sure, probably higher setup fees to avoid hoppers and spamers to keep the addresses clean
- Optional traffic packages (when exceeding speed Limit of 10Mbit which should still be ok for most homelabs)

World this be interesting? Im aware that many ones already do this by VPS themselves, so this might just be a bit easier and optionally offering whole networks including RIPE personalizations.
