@Burgi naw , she's a long term resident of the area. For some reason she suddenly moved 25 floors up

flooding!

naw

I figured fatty chased her off, but fatty isn't downstairs

@Bob No worries. I'm trying with firewall rules that you have suggested. When you are back, it would be of great help if you could assist me with this. Can I not achieve this with a firewall rule to allow all IPs from my Google Wi-Fi subnet?

@hypersonics Not unless you have that static route, because otherwise the Google router would simply send (route) this unknown subnet to nowhere.

@hypersonics Looks like it's not supported: snbforums.com/threads/google-wifi-and-static-routes.36924

Failing that, if you don't want to rearrange the network you can access the ER-X's WAN IP, which should be an address within the Google subnet. But you'd only have the one address across all laptops and you'd need to port forward to the correct internal address.

Making the ER-X primary is probably cleanest

@hypersonics The firewall rules I suggested were to further isolate the two. Since you actually want them to communicate, you don't want those rules.

(also, once you guys are done... SU question? ;p)

@JourneymanGeek this was spawned from one :P

ahh lol

caught my eye cause I set up an ER-X like three weeks ago in a similar config

ah

(i've been out of the loop lol)

But needed to clarify a fair bit, which was flooding comments

3:49 AM

Sore eyes again

@JourneymanGeek tbh maybe should've created a separate room but... eh, it's quiet in here and maybe others can chime in :P

oh tis fine ;p

@Bob maybe some kind of "super" SBC with low latency and high bitrate is what I'm using? :S

even with the Priva III, since apparently semi-clueful guy on reddit thinks I'm not using aptX on the Beats

Did some experimentation with OBS: On CPU-heavy games like Assassin's Creed Origins, there is not enough CPU power for x264 encoding at a preset slower than "veryfast". If recording to disk, using the CRF rate control mode will produce better results than CBR (and has less impact on game framerate as well), but it does tend to produce large spikes in bitrate.

Not planning to live-stream anything - if I'm posting gameplay videos, it'll be recorded to disk first.

Not too sure if @slhck is around...

@hypersonics Ok, to make the ER-X primary, what you want to do is run the wizard again. That's the WAN+2LAN2 wizard, or Basic Setup if you've updated the firmware (it's an alias to the same wizard):

If you untick Only use one LAN, it'll configure two subnets for you: one on eth1, and one on switch0 (a hardware-offloaded switch connecting eth2 through eth4 together).

(You can later break those other ports off switch0 and add more subnets, do fancy VLAN configs, etc.)

Since you have the ADSL modem in bridge mode, you just need to plug it into eth0 and enter your PPPoE connection details on the ER-X.

and... eye's mostly back to normal ._.

@hypersonics From here, you have two options. If you keep the Google Wi-Fi device in routing mode, you'll have a second level of NAT for the Google Wi-Fi devices (basically the inverse of your current situation). This means you can access your ER-X second subnet devices from the Google Wi-Fi subnet, but not the other way around.

If, on the other hand, you put the Google Wi-Fi device into bridged mode, this means it acts simply as a dumb Wi-Fi access point with no routing capabilities. This means the subnet is entirely managed by the ER-X, eliminates the second level of NAT, and all devices on either subnet can communicate with each other (routed by the ER-X) unless you add additional firewall rules.

Of course, Google does not recommend the bridged mode approach, and they list the features of the Google AP that you cannot use in this mode: support.google.com/wifi/answer/6240987?hl=en-AU

back in a bit

9:17 AM

@hypersonics Personally, I would do the Google bridged approach, since multiple levels of NAT tends to make networks difficult to manage (I would know... ran three layers of NAT for about 5 years before fixing it). But if you still want the additional Google routing features, you could just put it in routing mode, with the caveat that you cannot directly initiate connections from the ER-X eth1 subnet to the Google Wi-Fi devices unless you forward ports for each application.

(I used the UniFi APs rather than Google - the UniFi APs were strictly APs only, and did not have a routing mode at all.)

@hypersonics Lemme know if any of that doesn't make sense and I'll try to explain it further. I'm not sure how much you know of networking concepts, so I'm kinda assuming you mostly know how routing works and just need to know how to configure the devices.

My initial goal was to have a separate subnet for the three laptops, which is what I have got now. However, my intention is to communicate (mainly via SSH) from a Linux client that is connected to Google Wi-Fi with the Linux laptop 1 that is connected to ER-X. So, basically across IPs existing...

@JourneymanGeek ^ Wrote it out as a full answer :P

which is actually longer than that PDF download question O_O

@JourneymanGeek hm?

11:06 AM

I don't remember what I said that about ._.

o.O

@JourneymanGeek thought you were responding to me, but I have no idea what it meant :D

nor do I ;p

(but yeah, not quite at 100% yet. zee eyes!)

> What inevitably results is a battery that self-ignites, sprays its highly flammable solvent electrolyte out of itself, and promptly ignites that as well, now that a fresh supply of oxygen is available. That's just bonus fire however, there is still a ton of fire from the lithium metal oxidizing with the ample store of oxygen inside.

I've reread this answer so many times and I still giggle every time I get to "bonus fire" :P

@JourneymanGeek ...eyes?

@Bob been quiet the last few days. Had sinus and a swollen, watery eyes.

oof

Hey, superguys. :)

user226528

What's new?

user226528

(When I asked "What's new" I meant anything except this slave news that every single news outlet has reported about. I think I've heard it to death.)

eghhhhhhhh

the only proper NX client on android is nomachine and it fails to work as it can't access /sdcard/

12:01 PM

Other remote desktop solutions don't work for you?

nx is quite lightweight

vnc is sloooow

user226528

TeamViewer?

insecure.

user226528

Color me intrigued.

I want to use an open standard with my pc, and one that might be backdoored (like teamviewer) is not something I'm going to use for unattended access.

I do have it installed but I have the service disabeld.

12:12 PM

modern NX isn't really open

user226528

What makes you think TeamViewer is backdoored?

unless you're using something that supports... er... NX3 I think?

user226528

And I used to use it. Am I in danger?

@FleetCommand it had been exploited before.

user226528

If by "Before" you mean in 2008, I am aware of that. Otherwise...

user226528

12:15 PM

But that's a decade ago and, which piece of software hasn't been exploited once or twice?

I am p sure it got exploited a couple years ago

user226528

I see. If you remembered anything more tangible, please don't hesitate to ping me. I take the security very seriously. But of course, I'll get to the bottom of this.

and well, even though it's changeable, I don't trust a company that defaults to 4 char pins in 2017.

And in linux I need to run it under wine

@JourneymanGeek freenx

and what, x2go?

ahh ya

I've not had much luck with the open source varients :(
