    DDNS script example to update CloudFlare not working

    OK - answered number 2 myself by modifying my domain DNS. Instead of all those A records, I changed them to cname's pointing to the one A records that has the IP address. Then only one to update. I guess this is the 'correct' way I should have done it in the first place - seeing as they all...

    Best way of using dnsfilter on merlin for smartDNS and pihole ?

I currently have the router dns set to 9.9.9.9 I currently have the DHCP DNS set to...

    Firewall Enable DoS Protection - I have to turn it off for cloudflare / emby to work.

    I have introduced cloudflare's caching stuff to my domain. I am using nginx on my lan (was always doing that). Everything is working fine (sab, deluge, sonarr, radarr) but my emby server was just getting a black page with 522 errors on the images. I found a web page where someone said on his...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    OK - I am making some headway into this now. I installed openvpn on my laptop, imported the file from PIA, and got the same issues on my laptop. I then connected to my 4g wifi hotspot on my iphone, so outside my LAN, and immediately it worked. This tells me my router is the issue here. It is...

    Thanks for the continued review - removed the pull and the auth-token as john9527 suggested (thats new based o other posts). Tried with multiple settings for cipher negotiation (enable with fallback and disabled), tried different TLS Control Channel security (inbound, outgoing, disabled)...

    I ran that - still the same issue, I will remove this issue from this skynet thread then and post it separately to see if anyone has any vpn/pia/openvpn ideas. Thanks. Dec 20 23:51:14 ovpn-client1[14629]: OpenVPN 2.4.6 arm-unknown-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO]...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Hi Netbug, You wont believe how many times today I have clicked edit and pasted in the certs!!!! I have tried all the old PIA ports going back years from posts on here with the older security and certs, never any works. I have settled on your config however, as I have someone with apples and...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Hi Netbug - Thanks for that - yours was actually the first link I came across and did at the start - which seems like days ago now.

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I have been using skynet a while. Today, I though I would add a VPN to my PIA at the router level, read a load of forums, and it seems so easy. This is so my roku's can go direct to eh UK and save me the cost of the dns geo unblock service. Mainly I keep coming back to this one thread which...

    How do I 'easily' swap out the USB drive ?

    I did searches for backup USB etc ? Nothing found. I wish to replace the USB key with a new one, rather than re-install all my bits and pieces and re-configure download monitoring etc, is there an easy USB duplication process ?

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Newbie question (for my clarification). Am I correct with the following : Any router with no open ports and no port forwarding would stop all remote wan traffic from coming into a router (ignoring exploits) except traffic that was 'requested' from inside the lan. After installing skynet, and...

    Help locking down my IoT devices

    hhmmmm - that is quite drastic and takes a load of the 'smartness' out of the smart home - at least until I get a proper lan based system implemented. I currently have ifttt recipes doing stuff based on if iphones are home or not. Plus - Garage door device (garadget) is wan connected - no option...

    Help locking down my IoT devices

    Yep - I can do that from the ones that are close to the guest network. I was hoping to do it another way however and not enable the guest network - as I have three different routers, and also need to connect in the lan from some of the iphone apps that control these things.
