    CVE 2023-50868 and CVE 2023-50387 in dnsmasq when DNSSEC is enabled

    Here's what I'd like to know. Reading some of the announcements of this issue, it sounds like it is an incoming DNSSEC request that is the trigger. Nothing I run is open to the outside (limited to responding to my LAN only). Where is the threat to my install? I'm sure I'll patch this, just with...

    Cloud storage

    For a NAS, you're better off biting the bullet and running a NAS. I had a 2 drive Synology and it worked well. Not the cheapest box, but well thought out and great software. I needed a bit more space, had a machine available, so installed TrueNAS on it and it is worth the effort of rebuilding...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

    Unexciting dirty update from alpha to beta 1 on the devices in my signature.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Last of the great procrastinators... I'm dinking with a debian router. Have to wrap my head around dual stack firewalling and getting traffic through for three servers.

    Hmmm, first you know nothing about anything I own. Secondly, made in China means I'm getting things built by people who know how to do it. Not a whole lots of tech is built outside China. If you don't manufacture things, you don't know how to design them well. Well, there's the whole being...

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Indeed, the choice is mine. Hmmm, I don't use YouTube enough to care about ads. Plus, my point is not wether I need to pay or not. It is the trustworthiness of who I choose to pay. For me, I'll not give a nickel for pfSense after this move. I'm a good consumer, I spend on odd things. I don't...

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Naaah, I've seen it plenty. It's one of the reasons I'll not use this. Unless I had bought one of their slightly overpriced hardware units, then I'd be happy to stay with the TACLite version as I'd have some faith in them not taking it away.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Nothing. I just have a thing for companies that don't know what they are doing from day to day. I'm not the one who pushed 'Upgrade for free today". Plus, given this, how long for CE? Naaah, not beholden to any particular hardware/software. @dave14305 has a good idea for my simple needs I think.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    That's how I'm leaning. I have fairly simple needs. A couple of holes poked through the firewall for things I run locally, DDNS, DHCP. Done

    Needless complication.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Well, as I said, *Sense is dead for me. One is not trustworthy, one is assholish for questions on things they don't think you need. I have found several candidates, but they all fail on a single item. No support for Cloudflare DDNS. I suppose I could run ddclient on a device and that's likely...

    At $100 a year, you'll soon have one of their hardware boxes paid for. Those come with TACLite free. At least for now.

    They've come up with TAC LITE $129/per year Better but still a 'no' for me.

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    Well, thanks for the unenlightening discussion on BSD. First, netgate people have posted in their forums on several points of migrating the home/pro version to CE. The announcement I read said only that those licenses will run for now. Not that they were good forever. I have no idea if the...

    pfSense No More Without Paid Version?

    I see that pfSense Home/Lab version is no longer offered. The path for existing users is to reinstall the CE edition and restore your current config. You can also buy a commercial license. As I don't plan to do this for a company that revoked their offer so quickly, (what is the chance they...

    Complete router meltdown after installing scripts

    You know, I don't really care. I find it odd that you are a) New to a router. b) Certain that nothing you have done could possibly be the problem c) Unwilling to do anything suggested to help your low powered router perform its tasks Best of luck.

    Is the RT-AX88U Pro overkill with PFSense?

    The AIO home routers that I have had experience with had much better range than business APs that I tried. IMO business APs are built to handle more connections and not maximize range. Makes sense, more devices in a business area along with more APs. In my home, the business APs did not provide...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    MoCA and a Rat's Nest of Coax

    To find a single coax run, do it the cheap way. Multimeter, aluminum foil. Make a ball of foil. Insert it into the end of the run you need to ID. Make sure it touches the inside wire. Go to the rats nest and put the multimeter in continuity mode. Touch one probe to the wire and one to the screw...
