Shugojin posted:I thought that passed but that might be just FCC rules and not laws, but either way it's kind of toothless because it's difficult to prove that the landlord stating "I just don't want more things run in the building right now, your internet has to be something compatible with what's already here" is part of a deal with a particular ISP tl;dr: Exclusivity agreements are not allowed but landlords are not required to allow new providers to install services. So if your building has POTS lines and cable TV there can't be any agreements where either provider is prevented from offering internet service but there's no obligation to let the new fiber service in.

A community manager won’t be able to do anything for you. Majority of the time they just work for a management company but don’t own the building; this is why you see a property change management hands multiple times in a short period of time. The person you need to speak to is the asset manager for the company who owns the property but good luck getting that information. For new development it was pretty common to contract out the install to a company who will cover the cost and labor of installing all the cabling in return for an exclusivity agreement for so many years (5-10). That seems to be what the FCC is prohibiting. Even after it expires, most property owners are not going to pay to have new lines installed.

For a bit AT&T was getting pretty aggressive about paying to wire existing buildings for fiber, I believe they pulled back bigtime though.

Hi all, this is really a Tailscale question. I can't seem to get my head around this very well apologies if stupid. I have basically this setup right now and it works.  I have an OPNsense router with Tailscale installed running as an exit node and when I am outside the home I can use it as a Tailscale exit node and access network storage etc. This is my normal use case. I bought a travelrouter (one of the GliNet ones that runs opnWRT and has tailscale installed). I can connect it to the tailnet I have set up but I am unclear on how to configure the travel router vs the laptop etc. Ideally, I would like to be on vacation and connect via wifi to the travel router, which is running tailscale and linked directly to the home router exit node so everything on the travel router can connect to the home network and run backups, use network storage etc. So far trying different options I can't seem to get it working, if I use subnets on the travel router and point it to the home router as the exit node I get no internet connection for example. Any suggestions on how I should configure the travel router and if the devices that connect to it via wifi need to run / not run tailscale?

Issue: pc laptop detects, and connects with, my home Wi-Fi but randomly will report the WiFi as “no internet, secured”. When this occurs, my pc laptop cannot connect to the internet. My pc has a vpn. When this happens to my pc laptop, the other devices connected to my home WiFi are fine and operate as normal. Ex/ my iOS phone has the same vpn, connects to the same home WiFi, but never experiences the weird “no internet, secured” issue. What the heck is going on? Super frustrating!

Flipperwaldt posted:I imagine anything but this is overthinking it: Ok so I ran that exact setup with the tailscale router settings as in the img below and I lose all internet connection / can only ping or connect to the travelrouter itself. Sadly that didn't work.  I can turn off tailscale on the travelrouter, and then turn it on on my laptop connected via wifi to the travelrouter and I can access the home LAN / exitnode and internet so all other points of connection are functional. FYI the travelrouter lan IP Is 192.168.8.1 the homerouter lan IP is 192.168.1.1 In an attempt to fix I set the travelrouter tailscale subnet up for 192.168.8.0/24 . Connecting to the travelrouter via laptop (which isnt running tailscale), I can ping the travelrouter but no internet etc, same as in the 1st attempt. The homerouter (exit node) is running a subnet of 192.168.1.0/24, should I be adding the 192.168.8.0/24 subnet to the homerouter (exit node) as well for this to work? According to the Gli.NET forums there are 2 possible issues, 1 is that USB cellular tethering (which I was using at home from my phone, connected to the travel router) causes issues and 2: from the gli,net forums quote:Tailscale forces the use of 100.0.0.0/8 as a virtual subnet, which happens to be the CG NAT used by many mobile network operators. If you have any other ideas I'd love to hear it otherwise I'll take the travel router to work on Monday and see if getting it on the network there and connecting fixes anything.

I'm using Adguard Home for DNS based filtering. I've had set the upstream resolvers to the DoH endpoints of both Cloudflare and Quad9. Recently, I've had regular resolution failures, and per logs, Cloudflare was giving me occasional SERVFAIL. There's scuttlebutt about rate limiting, if Cloudflare has their knickers in a bunch. I figured I set up unbound again after ages. Is there anything specific I need to configure to be on the safe side? This is my current config: code:

You’ll need to set up multiple vlans on your router to segregate devices and set up firewall rules/ACL. This would be overly complicated in this scenario when you should just be configuring share permissions instead.

Might help if you mentioned what access point you are using, what provider, what version of Windows you're running.. No one is giving you concrete advice because you aren't telling us the information needed to make an informed suggestion.. You're basically Kramering into this thread and asking for advice based on almost no information about your situation except what the problem is.

I don't know why your computer wouldn't be able to access those websites. If something is blocking those sites, the internet should still work, but you have to deal with the annoying message that you're not connected. Disable the VPN, see if message goes away. Those VPN services are borderline useless and I'm pretty sure the CIA fronts most of them.

I had a Dell Latitude that used to give me that 'No Internet, Secured' warning and I just kept forgetting the network and re-adding it until some Windows cumulative update made it go away forever, maybe try updating your Windows to the latest patch level, be it for 10 or 11.

So I currently have two opnsense routers at different locations, fat fiber links at both places. Each site has a unique subnet. I have an IPsec tunnel (route based) to do a site to site vpn. It works great. I can access either subnet from either location, all my data is encrypted over WAN, its fast, overall needs suited. What I would like to do next, I don't quite know if is possible or the correct way to describe it. I have some (new to me) equipment that expects to be on the same physical network. It doesn't seem to be happy trying to talk across a router. Is there a reasonable way to encapsulate the entire ethernet connection and ship it to a remote site? I can hang dedicated ethernet ports off my opnsense boxes for just this appliance if it makes it easier. I don't know how to describe what I am trying to do, or if its possible. GRE? L2 VPN? VXLAN? My MTUs!

Not a home networking question but thought maybe someone here might be able to explain something to me in kindergarten terms... We have cable internet in my small office and it comes with cellular backup. We've never used the cellular backup. We have a cisco/meraki router and a random switch. Where do I plug the cell backup modem into the router? And what settings do I change so that it uses that as a backup if the main cable modem goes out? or is this super complicated to set up?

You need something like L2 VPN that extends the L2 broadcast domain between the sites.

There are lots of technologies that can do this depending on the capabilities of the gear you’re working with. You’d eventually need a single subnet bridged across the sites, though. Depending on what it is, there may be easier answers like mDNS repeaters.

I turned off tailscale on the laptop, changed the travelrouter to connect to the exit node on homerouter and then lose all internet connection. So I set up the travelrouter with a subnet of 192.168.8.0/24 and connect to the homerouter exit node and still no internet connection. Not sure what else to do here, I bought the device because it is advertised to run tailscale but it does me no good if it just runs it on its own but can't connect to an exit node while blocking all traffic through it when doing so.

Just out of curiosity what are your subnets like for each side? I have home router (192.168.1.1) with a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet And travel router (192.168.8.1) with a 192.168.8.0/24 subnet Not sure if I need anything else there or cocked that up. I'll try running an exit node off of my NAS instead of the home router and see if that will work instead. Which model of the gli.net did you have again? Just want to look and see if theres something specific based on model differences or anything.

Can I get some recommendations for running lines throughout the house? We bought a house and are moving in a couple weeks, Frontier has 5gb fiber available there so you can see where I'm going with this. I'd like to run a drop to most of the rooms for hardwired connections, and then a couple extra for PoE cameras in a few spots. For the network lines what should I be looking at for cabling? It seems like Cat 6a will be fine for 10GBe provided the runs are short enough, which I guess is TBD right now since I don't know where I'm going to put things yet. Should I just be looking at fiber lines instead?
