| about: | Hey guys,
After openbsd and a pcengine apu, and always keeping in mind cosmic rays and that quote from the Google engineer when asked what he'd do differently, I've been seeking an ideal home Internet firewall/routing Device. The ISP where i am provides managed devices for customers, or they can also disable whatever kind of nat traversal is on, and provide a static address. With such an address, security is paramount, and, for example, after hours of troubleshooting why port forwarding wasn't working on a cheap and old router the isp technician warned me that i was letting the wolves in (::rollseyes::) and then turned off the NAT traversal complexity (+$5/mo), and the cheap Walmart router was immediately pwned. Wow. The new router is a Mac pro a1481, which must be like a honey pot for state actors, but is a great host for an openbsd VM guest firewall, and an openwrt VM guest wireless access point. Gotta have that 128GB of ECC on the 12-core system. Those ad/spam/ai filtering LLMs need some elbow room! :) Peace and love my digital friends. |
