That kind of thinking is too advanced for the general populace

It’s always standard OPSEC to anonymize/obfuscate your infra details.

If they are really concerned about privacy, host a local LLM and query it. You’ll get a subservient AI which doesn’t argue with you about data permanence, and all your data stays inhouse. Stop participating in public forums.

My guess was that it’s users who fundamentally misunderstand federation, and think that deleting their comments will prevent them from being scraped or used to ID them later.

I really don’t understand these people. If you don’t want to be doxxed or scraped, stop participating online. It’s that simple. Even if you participate in a private sub, it will eventually get scrapped.

If you don’t plan to do heavy internet browsing, an HDD is good enough for a light distro. But an SSD will definitely improve the experience.

Regarding RAM, this is a tough one. If you use the right DE + terminal app combo, 2 GB should be good.

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.
