[1184.40 --> 1185.18] Anything like that. |
[1185.18 --> 1188.32] I've got exit node capabilities, all that good stuff with Tailscale. |
[1189.20 --> 1195.16] So then I just installed Tailscale actually on my router in Raleigh and the router at my mum's house, which has got the Synology. |
[1195.34 --> 1200.26] So I've now got a three-node Tailscale OpenSense network going on. |
[1200.36 --> 1201.16] It's pretty sweet. |
[1201.58 --> 1202.16] That's great. |
[1202.30 --> 1207.74] And then the other package that I've started installing on OpenSense is AdGuard Home directly on the router. |
[1207.74 --> 1211.56] So I use that as the primary DNS server on the router itself. |
[1211.66 --> 1217.78] I disable Unbound and then I point port 53 through into that service that's running on the router itself. |
[1218.32 --> 1226.22] So I have ad blocking on the router and it means I can do DNS rewrites and all that kind of stuff if I need to for DNS reasons. |
[1226.90 --> 1229.16] It's just so nice. |
[1229.90 --> 1232.64] How did you communicate any of this to the family members? |
[1232.74 --> 1235.08] Do you say you're going to have ad blocking now on your network? |
[1235.08 --> 1239.38] You're welcome. Or do you kind of not say anything and just see if they report an issue? |
[1239.70 --> 1240.64] What's your approach? |
[1241.18 --> 1244.12] It's easier to ask for forgiveness, isn't it? |
[1244.20 --> 1244.36] Yeah. |
[1244.86 --> 1249.70] Well, there is something to the fact that like if you tell them, I mean, my family does this to me all the time. |
[1249.72 --> 1254.64] If I sit at their computer and then something breaks afterwards, it's my fault, even if I didn't even change anything. |
[1254.80 --> 1254.92] Right. |
[1255.02 --> 1261.40] So there's a bit of a logic to just not saying anything and just seeing how things go and just knowing that they're taken care of. |
[1261.50 --> 1263.82] So is that your approach? |
[1263.82 --> 1274.78] Yeah, particularly for the ad blocking stuff, because, you know, I know that mobile games are quite popular in this in this household and they are really bad for ads. |
[1274.94 --> 1281.38] And whenever I'm traveling with my wife, she always goes, God, I always forget when I'm at home just how many ads you're saving me. |
[1281.44 --> 1281.88] Thank you. |
[1281.94 --> 1287.22] So I'm hoping that in six months time we'll have a conversation and she'll be like, oh, yeah, well, look at all these ads. |
[1287.44 --> 1291.44] And by the way, you know, when I was out there, I did a little something for you. |
[1291.44 --> 1291.80] Yeah. |
[1292.00 --> 1297.18] And the upshot is for me, I can do, you know, easier DNS rewrites and that kind of stuff. |
[1297.22 --> 1302.08] And then I've got a standardized setup between the three different places because I do AdGuard on all three. |
[1302.24 --> 1303.66] I do Tailscale now on all three. |
[1303.72 --> 1305.32] I've got OpenCenter all three sites. |
[1305.80 --> 1307.30] Yeah, that is really nice. |
[1307.42 --> 1309.28] Just keep it nice and consistent for you. |
[1310.48 --> 1311.28] Less mistakes. |
[1311.92 --> 1312.58] Easier to support. |
[1312.72 --> 1315.50] There will be a link in the show notes, by the way, to how I set that up. |
[1315.50 --> 1318.06] I am using AdGuard as the primary DNS. |
[1318.36 --> 1328.60] I think it uses Unbound as a recursive or upstream provider, which then finally after those two hops goes out to Cloudflare to the Internet to do the final Internet-based DNS resolution. |
[1329.52 --> 1331.14] You know, it's so funny what you've done here. |
[1331.14 --> 1338.04] There is a place in the business world where this could be sold as a product for businesses and doctor's offices and whatnot. |
[1338.26 --> 1341.96] You come in, you set up, you know, an open audible firewall. |
[1342.42 --> 1346.82] And then if they have multiple branches, something that they're always trying to solve is how to link those branches together. |
[1346.96 --> 1350.04] So then you offer Tailscale as a solution to link those branches together. |
[1350.28 --> 1354.92] AdGuard does the DNS for them and the ad blocking to help make their system safer. |
[1354.92 --> 1363.90] Like this, just this little thing that you've done on this trip could be sold as a standalone, like service and offering product that a consulting company goes around. |
[1363.96 --> 1366.46] Because I have seen that in my days in IT. |
[1366.60 --> 1374.62] I have seen businesses that were using a lot worse technology, a lot worse software and hardware going around making a killing selling setups like this. |
[1375.24 --> 1380.92] I know that Tailscale aren't sponsoring today, but I have used the heck out of Tailscale on this trip. |
[1380.92 --> 1390.78] It's like dark magic sitting down in a foreign country, typing a DNS entry that you know is at your house 3,000 miles away. |
[1390.88 --> 1393.38] And it just loads behind a firewall. |
[1393.66 --> 1394.98] It's just so cool. |
[1395.84 --> 1401.62] We still have the URL or, you know, we could use coders to tailscale.com slash coder or tailscale.com slash SSH. |
[1401.68 --> 1404.02] But yeah, they are not a sponsor on this show, but we love it. |
[1404.26 --> 1404.74] Still use it. |
[1404.96 --> 1405.56] So there you go. |
[1405.64 --> 1406.06] And you're right. |
[1406.10 --> 1408.50] If I was traveling over to families, that's what I'd be setting up. |
[1408.50 --> 1411.36] You're really making me consider OpenSense and AdGuard. |
[1411.46 --> 1428.14] I have to be honest with you, for the network here at the studio, I've been mostly for the content reasons and because it sounds fun, I've been really considering just doing like a Nix-based Raspberry Pi compute module 4 on a carrier board that has dual gigabit Ethernet. |
[1428.14 --> 1440.74] And then Nix is the OS and then just a really simple, really basic command line firewall setup and just do everything through an SSH connection and just see how slim and minimal of a firewall I can make. |
[1441.30 --> 1445.80] But Alex, you make OpenSense seem so attractive, especially with those add-ons. |
[1446.54 --> 1448.52] That really does get me. |
[1448.90 --> 1450.84] Tailscale and AdGuard sound really nice. |
[1451.30 --> 1452.22] So I don't know. |
[1452.42 --> 1453.64] It's been great for me. |
[1453.64 --> 1457.76] I know I have a bit of a bugbear about people saying, oh, it's been rock solid. |
[1458.84 --> 1460.34] What does that phrase even mean? |
[1460.58 --> 1461.84] Like, you know what I mean? |
[1461.90 --> 1465.98] But it's been rock solid for me, you know? |
[1466.64 --> 1468.24] Oh, there it is. |
[1469.66 --> 1472.56] Yeah, I know it's been it's been really solid. |
[1472.68 --> 1473.32] I do know what you mean. |
[1473.42 --> 1476.32] I appreciate the stability that you're trying to imply with that. |
[1476.72 --> 1479.68] So Alex likes it so much. |
[1480.06 --> 1482.04] You know, he's installing it for mom and dad. |
[1482.04 --> 1487.54] So now the only question is, are you going to leave them with any kind of docs or user logins or anything? |
[1488.02 --> 1488.84] What do you do there? |
[1489.28 --> 1491.42] I've got a Bookstack instance set up for them. |
[1491.66 --> 1502.28] But I wondered what other people are using for family members and friends and things when you need to communicate basic information, like what the Wi-Fi password you've set up is or what, you know, IP. |
[1502.28 --> 1507.26] Do family members need to know what IP address you have the access points set to? |
[1507.46 --> 1508.28] Probably not. |
[1508.94 --> 1512.20] But, you know, basic stuff about the network that you've done. |
[1512.36 --> 1517.46] If you got hit by a bus tomorrow, they might need to know the answer to, you know, basic stuff like that. |
[1517.84 --> 1522.42] I've actually taken to just a simple GitHub flavored markdown file. |
[1522.42 --> 1523.98] I then print out and leave in the drawer. |
[1524.92 --> 1527.60] It's not secure or anything like that. |
[1527.72 --> 1537.28] But I feel like it speaks the language of, you know, non slightly less technical people, which isn't to say a bad thing. |
[1537.32 --> 1539.58] It's just, you know, how it is. |
[1540.34 --> 1540.40] Yeah. |
[1540.44 --> 1544.56] I don't think you want to leave them something that they have no control over. |
[1544.56 --> 1546.70] I mean, like, you know, God forbid something happens to you. |
[1546.82 --> 1548.32] You don't want them to have to tear everything out. |
[1548.82 --> 1551.22] You want somebody to come in and go, oh, I see what Alex did here. |
[1551.28 --> 1551.40] Yeah. |
[1551.46 --> 1551.70] Okay. |
[1552.32 --> 1552.94] Oh, I see what the problem. |
[1553.00 --> 1553.12] Yeah. |
[1553.16 --> 1553.34] Yeah. |
[1553.34 --> 1554.14] We can take care of this. |
