TP link ER605 looks interesting and worth playing with. Looks like good ipv6 support is in tp link stuff, I also noticed it uses iptables under the hood, so if I have to telnet/ssh in at least I'll know what I am doing and not have having to deal with some proprietary crap. I have also been meaning ...

In the advent of 5G home internet that does not provide one with their own unique world routeable IPv4 address, what I envision is folks setting up a VPN on a VPS (cloud based server), so that they can still have access to things on their home networks. The only extensive modern VPN stuff that I hav...

I've tried a number of things over the years. Basically you need to have access to a number of good sites (100 ft) or you really aren't going to get the stuff to go very far. The terrain here vs elsewhere is pretty flat, and we have some pretty good mature trees. Without getting above the trees you ...
