Stefan :veritrek:aaannd we are online with <a href="https://social.stefanberger.net/tags/OPNsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OPNsense</a> 25.7 ..<a href="https://social.stefanberger.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>

4zv4lFor a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homelab</a>/#selfhosted project, would there be any reason to pick one of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openbsd</a> ? (Just because <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/netbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#netbsd</a> seems amazingly portable it also interests me). So far I mostly run <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> containers with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/podman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#podman</a> and VMs with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#proxmox</a>, the only *BSD VM running is <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opnsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opnsense</a>. And so far <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#btrfs</a> seems pretty good alternative to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zfs</a>. I hear the network stack is supposed to be better and the system overall more “unified” but I fail to see what to try or do with it.

Kernel BobI'm doing the weekly home IT update chore this morning. I wasn't home last week, so there's a lot.- OPNsense minor upgrade (save 25.7 for next week) - New firmware for two Omada access points - PI-Hole 25.7 - Home Assistant Core and ESPHome Builder - Karakeep 0.26.0Then I'm going to take the first steps in the TrueNAS Core -> Scale migration. That'll go on for days if not weeks.<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PiHole</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/karakeep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#karakeep</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/OPNSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OPNSense</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Omada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Omada</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ESPHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ESPHome</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeLab</a>

Courtney RosenthalI recently posted about the ssh attacks on my network. The bulk of them originate from a small number of countries that either host hacker gangs or are outright hostile.My OpnSense router supports GeoIP blocking out of the box. It's super easy to setup, so I did.Blocking 7 countries eliminated about 40% of the attacks.. (From 2537/day to 1626.) Was it worth it? 🤷‍♀️ <a href="https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/maxmind_geo_ip.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/maxmind_geo_ip.html</a><a href="https://pdx.social/tags/opnSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opnSense</a> <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/infoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infoSec</a>

paulsorensenBuilt a secure DNS stack on OPNsense using:- AdGuard Home for DNS filtering - dnscrypt-proxy (Quad9 DoH) - Dnsmasq for DHCP + .lan resolutionAdGuard forwards to dnscrypt-proxy + Dnsmasq. I chose Dnsmasq (now default in 25.7) to keep DHCP + local DNS inside OPNsense, and AdGuard focused on filtering.Step-by-step guide: <a href="https://paulsorensen.io/dnscrypt-adguard-home-opnsense/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paulsorensen.io/dnscrypt-adguard-home-opnsense/</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/opnsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opnsense</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dns</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a>
