    Cannot get local DNS working for devices with DHCP config (ASUS RT-AX86U PRO)

    I don't understand that at all.... No suggestion of any actual command to try. Don't know from where/how you took the text you showed. This is done on one of my Ubuntu server's command line: $ nslookup capella ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.53 Server: 127.0.0.53 Address...

    Cannot get local DNS working for devices with DHCP config (ASUS RT-AX86U PRO)

    Well, that was really the premise of my question.... A bunch of computers on the same LAN managed by the ASUS router to get their local addresses, yet they cannot talk to each other... Isn't the router supplying the DNS settings to connecting clients also, and does it not include itself then...

    Cannot get local DNS working for devices with DHCP config (ASUS RT-AX86U PRO)

    I have never gotten local access between computers working on my home LAN without manually entering the target devices into the hosts file on each computer (both Windows and Linux). I really dislike this because if a computer connects to the LAN using a new ethernet adapter it gets a new IP from...

    Can ASUS RT-AX86U PRO send WOL packets to a specific device?

    Sorry, there has been so many loose ends lately that I have gotten messed up in my head. :( But this was from a suggestion I have seen that the ASUS router itself could be set up to send a WOL message to the server.... I think I will go for the ether-wake sent from an RPi4 device I know will...

    Can ASUS RT-AX86U PRO send WOL packets to a specific device?

    Yes, I figured that I could do that but it would mean downtime for the server service since the fiber is working OK and by powering the fiber box, router, network switch and the server itself from UPS it stays on-line even when my home power is down until the battery is depleted. So in the best...

    Can ASUS RT-AX86U PRO send WOL packets to a specific device?

    I have an ASUS RT-AX86U PRO connected to the fiber box asd my main router. On the LAN I have an Ubuntu server which must be running 24/7 even after a power outage is over. It is powered from an UPS which communicates to the network using nut when connected devices should power down before an...

    How to permanently disable wifi and bluetooth on Ubuntu Server 24.04.1?

    Does Webmin co-exist with Apache by using a non-standard port? The normal ports for http and https are needed for Apache and Subversion also works through Apache. I am going to copy over the apache2 config from the old server to the new and start bringing up the web services. At some time there...

    How to permanently disable wifi and bluetooth on Ubuntu Server 24.04.1?

    Never heard about Webmin before, but if it uses Apache I get worried because I have an Apache installation which serves multiple purposes like: - Host for a Subversion server which backs up a main server in another location using svnsync. - Host for a video service for a limited number of...

    How to permanently disable wifi and bluetooth on Ubuntu Server 24.04.1?

    Background: I have built a new Ubuntu Server 24-04-1 LTS using an ASUS NUC 13 i7 PRO device as a replacement for my old server running on a Lenovo IdeaCentre minitowe PC, whiuch I have moved a lot of data from the old to the new server and I have also added a MINT desktop to the server so I can...

    How to make sure my VPN server restarts after a power outage?

    That Lenovo is a big PITA... It came with Windows when I bought it around 2020 or so and I think used Windows itself to make it shrink its disk use to make room for further OS:es and then GParted-Live to use the space for partitions I really wanted. There I installed an Ubuntu desktop, just to...

    How to make sure my VPN server restarts after a power outage?

    I have a shelly-plug sitting in the power feed of a Linux Mint mini-PC at the summer home (100 km away). It is headless but with a VGA simulator attached to its video output to make it boot past the boot startup menu. It has sometimes locked up and I have added the Shelly in order to make it...

    How to make sure my VPN server restarts after a power outage?

    I can see the use for the Router based VPN, I use OpenVPN a lot but my servers are all on Linux machines behind routers. The only Router I have VPN usage on is the one at my summer home and that acts as a Client only, connects to my Ubuntu based home VPN through the home router's port...

    How to make sure my VPN server restarts after a power outage?

    I have an ASUS RT-AX86U PRO Router at home, but I am not aware of any WebUI on that router which would enable me sending a WoL command. Where can I find that? Concerning a secondary VPN channel I have not used the home router for that, instead the home router port forwards VPN traffic to my...

    How to make sure my VPN server restarts after a power outage?

    Sigh.... So I have two options: 1) Keep the VPN server on the UPS In this case the final shutdown will mean that when power resumes it will probably not start because it did an orderly shutdown to the off state... So this needs a human to enter the home and push the power button... Or find a...

    How to make sure my VPN server restarts after a power outage?

    (I don't know if this is the right sub-forum, but I could not find anyone better. Please move me to the correct forum if it does not belong here.) I am in the process of upgrading the hardware for my OpenVPN server on my LAN. Right now it is an Ubuntu Server 24.04.1 LTS running on a Lenovo...

    How to set up guest network on RT-AX86U-PRO

    VLAN seems to be a thing for the LAN and not for WiFi... At least on my router VLAN appears in the LAN section. I don't really understand what it is or how it is used.... But as I said I have to leave it for now due to travel.
