🏚️📞😱 Something is making HTTP requests as Googlebot from my home network

Community iconc/networkingby

A weird and disturbing thing is happening on my home network. I'd like some advice on how to diagnose it. My mastodon host (chaos.social) keeps blocking my IP address. I reached out to the admins and they told me it's because they are getting HTTP requests with user agent string claiming it's a Google bot. They shared a following log line with me.

Configure iPhone to see cell Internet and local non-Internet LAN at the same time?

Community iconc/networkingby

I have an off-grid setup with a few devices on a local network that is not connected to the internet. I can tell my iPhone to use the non-internet wireless LAN to talk to those devices, OR I can tell it to use cellular data to talk to the Internet, but there’s no config on the iPhone side to let them be both live at the same time.

Automating pfsense interface up/down?

Community iconc/networkingby

I'm looking to automate/script my pfsense wireguard tunnels so that each wireguard tunnel only goes up if there are one or more clients connected to the subnet associated with that tunnel and goes down once all clients have disconnected. I was wondering if there is already a plugin that accomplishes this or can be adapted, otherwise what is best practice for running scripts on the pfsense box?

Options for under performing Cat6 cable

Community iconc/networkingby

I needed to connect two buildings and was having machines in to dig a 4' (1.2m) deep trench between them for a water line so I went to Amazon and bought a 250' (76m) pre-terminated copper Cat6 cable. As I was going to be burying it I wanted to be sure it worked, so I used it as a "fly lead" for my laptop for a week or two first and it worked fine. I know it initially connected at 1Gbps, but (stupidly) I can't be 100% certain it stayed at full speed the whole time.

I've been using my carrier's router for a while now but I've been having some issues. Though speed tests show nice speed, the consistency of the signal is very bad. I work from home in an office with my SO and when we're both using the internet the signal can become really bad. Currently getting 20% signal strength and having a hard time keeping my teams call up.

TP-Link cold feet - go for ubiquiti instead?

Community iconc/networkingby

So I just added a TP-Link switch (TL-SG3428X) and access point (EAP670) to my network, using OPNSense for routing, and was previously using a TP-Link SX-3008F switch as an aggregate (which I no longer need). I’m still within the return window for the new switch and access point, and have to admit the sale prices were my main reason with going for these items. I understand there have been recent articles mentioning TP-Link and security risks, so I’m thinking if I should consider returning these, and upping my budget to go for ubiquity? The AP would only be like $30 more for an equivalent, so that’s negligible, but a switch that meets my needs is about 1.6x more, however still only has 2 SFP+ ports, while I need 3 at absolute minimum.
