• Are there any work arounds for the Netflix new "household" system?

  How you connect to your modem will depend on the device you are using, but for windows laptops as an example you download the OpenVPN program and input your modem details there, much like you would any other vpn service. I think there would be some guides on youtube. https://openvpn.net/. Source: 10 months ago

• Can i use PFSense to control incoming user connections (without a vpn?)

  I just started playing with CloudConnexa for remotely managing my second pFSense. Really nice and is free for up to 3 concurrent users. https://openvpn.net. Can also self-host OpenVPN access server with a free 2 concurrent license. Source: 11 months ago

• Is the 7spotlight Markle family interview airing now? Is anyone watching and can provide comment? 👀📺

• Is it possible for a sysadmin to block only some packets from a VPN connection ?

  I too haven't used the client-nat directive in some years (I currently implement 1:1 NAT with pfsense to access my network because I'm too lazy to change the networks subnet from the default) so I decided to retest and it does appear that OpenVPN Connect clients do not properly support the client-nat directive but the traditional OpenVPN server/clients still do. I've just tested this on OpenVPN 2.6.3 Server,... Source: 12 months ago

• Would we still create Nebula today?

  No love for tinc[1]? It's the granddaddy of mesh networking, long before Wireguard, and while it's not quite zeroconf, it's very simple to setup and maintain. It also runs on everything. [1]: https://tinc-vpn.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Tunneling to Synology NAS without opening ports.

  Two other options are Tinc https://tinc-vpn.org/ or Nebula https://www.defined.net/nebula/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Port Forward Security & Alternatives

  And there is Tinc; the OG overlay network. I don't have experience with this. Seemed a bit of a pain to setup. https://tinc-vpn.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

• WireGuard multihop available in the Mullvad app

  For what its worth I have used the open source Tinc VPN [1] for mesh multihop routing for ages. It is nowhere near as fast as Wireguard but I could envision Tinc incorporating support for Wireguard if the author were so inclined. Like you mentioned Tinc does not mesh with other VPN's AFAIK.

• You may not need Cloudflare Tunnel. Linux is fine

  This is actually very simple in concept and is just as simple or even simpler to do with tinc (https://tinc-vpn.org). Since I can use tinc in bridge mode, I can run tinc on the upstream server and on a local machine which then provides access to several physical machines without running extra software on each of those machines, which is particularly useful for machines that are resource limited, like my Macintosh... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
