  • but I feel like unless you’re living a totally subsistence lifestyle in the middle of nowhere then everything you do is a potential poison to some extent and our bodies will deal with it or not

    I can respectfully disagree with that. I think there are some hobbies which can both bring joy to one’s life and not cause any harm (unless you take it to a crazy extreme). Example; collecting stamps. Doesn’t cause anyone any harm. Can be be harmful? If you spend thousands of dollars to get one rare stamp and ignoring your family duties, yes it can be harmful. However, such examples are extremely rare.

    Drinking can be done moderately, I agree. But saying it’s the same as any other activity is a no from me.

    But thanks for sharing. I may try some non-alcoholic beer.









  • Are you sure L2 is 192.168.1.0/24 and not something larger that includes 192.168.30.0, e.g.: 192.168.0.0/16?

    Bro/Mam/Sir! Bravo!

    You absolutely fixed it in one line. My friend stupidly set the netmask as /16 even though he doesn’t need such a large IP pool. I changed it and now WG is working.

    There is only one issue remaining, that is my local DNS queries are not being answered on my laptop (On phone + WG, it’s working). But it’s working when I direct my dig queries.

    dig server.lan = not working

    dig @dns.lan server.lan = working

    But ping dns.lan is working. I suspect my DNS IP has not properly percolated to my laptop.

    Thanks a lot!!


  • I’m terribly sorry. I have fixed the case numbers with the item numbers.

    I suspect at least part of the problem is that Android does not tunnel hotspot client traffic.

    On android, it works fine in all scenarios. The Linux laptop is causing issues. I checked another case (Case 5). If the client is Windows, everything works fine. I’ll try to replicate this on another linux machine and check.

    WG running on the Firestick

    I had to search a lot but I found a client which works on the first gen Firestick. Check https://airvpn.org/. They still release a compatible WG client on the ancient android/Amazon device.




  • Hello there. I perfectly understand the risks of my setup. Since it’s a commercial off-the-shelf router, i can’t run a reverse proxy on it, so this is the best that i can do (other than VLANs). It’s also a private network, so I guess it’s fine.

    I used a bit of AI which said that such embedded devices don’t work with reverse proxies. Finding which exact parameters as respected by the router will be time-consuming and the end result is not that great.
