Trinitycore has a guide https://trinitycore.info/ if you follow it properly it will result in a working server. Any time I’ve seen someone have a problem following it, they either missed a step by mistake, or tried to go off on a tangent, configuring it for their own needs during install/setup.

First make it work with the instructions, and once it is working, then tinker with it :P

It’s more likely trinitycore (which forked from mangos quite some time ago). https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/

Mangos do still have a Wrath server branch. But specifically for 3.3.5 trinitycore is more often used.

Wireguard vpn into my home router. Works on android so fire sticks etc can run the client.

They’re deporting themselves now too? That’s efficient.

Actually how is your ISP giving out IPs to you? Mine uses IPv6 PD to give me a /48. And I then use SLAAC locally on the first /64 prefix on my LAN. Plus another /64 for VPN connections.

If you mean receiving RA/ND packets from your ISP (which are used to announce IPv6 prefixes) then you need to allow icmpv6 packets (if you don’t want to be able to be pinged, just block echo requests, ICMP in v4 and v6 carry important messages otherwise).

If your ISP uses DHCPv6 Prefix delegation you will need to allow packets to UDP port 546 and run a DHCPv6 client capable of handling PD messages.

If you have a fixed prefix, then you probably don’t need to use your ISPs SLAAC at all. You could just put your router on a fixed IP as <yourprefix>::1 and then have your router create RA/ND packets (radvd package in linux, not sure what it would be on pfsense) and assign IPs within your network that way.

If you have a dynamic prefix… It’s a problem I guess. But probably someone has done it and a google search will turn up how they handled it.

EDIT: Just clarified that the RA/ND packets advertise prefixes, not assign addresses.

I believe the privacy concerns are made moot if all consumer level routers by default blocked incoming untracked connections and you need to poke holes in the firewall for the ports you need.

Having said that, even knowing the prefix it’s a huge address space to port scan through. So it’s pretty secure too with privacy extensions enabled.

But for sure the onus is on the router makers for now.

I used HE for ages until my isp gave native ipv6. I also used sixxs back then too. Both provided good connectivity for the few sites that were around using it at the time.

This is my biggest bugbear about a lot of UK isps. They are dynamically allocating ipv6 prefixes for absolutely no good reason.

I’ve only ever done ipv6 using Linux directly as a firewall or a mikrotik router. So cannot help with pfsense I’m afraid.

You start by adding ipv6 and serving both. One side needs to move first. Content providers or isps.

The big tech companies are using ipv6. In the UK the isps are mostly offering it too.

Host both and help us move towards dropping Ipv4 some day. It’s not going to happen in a day.

Don’t be so sure. Piers Morgan will do whatever he thinks makes “good television” and especially good sound-bites that can have his ugly mug displayed ad-nauseam.

He saw a weakness and exploited it. I doubt he’s “chosen a side” at all.

I think his unrealistic 24 hour plan was to give putin what he thought he wanted. Eg all the territory he’s captured so far and assurances against nato action/withdrawal of some western personnel at nato border country bases. You know putin’s public story.

He just didn’t know putin’s real objective. Maybe now he’s getting a bit of an idea. He’s too simplistic to fathom that there could have been an ulterior motive.

I did defederate from hexbear for a while a year or so ago. Just because at the time their users were generally just actively trolling for reactions in pretty much every community, and it just got too the point I defederated. I’ve since removed them from the defed list.

Generally I agree. But ML seems to have become a bit more clearly biased in their moderation. To me it’s not a reason to defed, but a reason to view the content they do allow in their hosted communities with that bias in mind.

I know the OP is using wifi calling as a solution. But since we’re talking voip providers.

I use voxbeam. But they’re wholesale, you need a fixed IP for incoming calls, their support are good. But they’re probably not going to want to help you with end-user type questions. They only support SIP. But, pricing is generally good and plenty of reasonably priced DID options.

That’s unusual. In the UK it’s generally only going to work if you’re in the UK. When I connect to my VPN (in my house, so residential IP), it’s hit and miss, the wifi calling icon will appear and disappear as it feels like. But otherwise it’s generally locked down.

I seem to remember, training exercises was what they told the initial troops that went into Ukraine was happening. So, while I really doubt they will do anything. That’s really not an indicator either way for Russia.

Yeah I think allowing a write in answer is too risky. You will end up with 12 unique text answers otherwise.

I do like the idea of the equivalent of an open verdict. Which is probably a mix of options 1 and 3 from your list. If you don’t believe either of the provided options are suitable and you don’t want to skip then this option would be a nice thing.

Needs a skip option for questions you’re really not comfortable giving a reply to (I maybe missed it if there). I hit one I really did feel was far too subjective to give a reply to that might even potentially be taken seriously.

Otherwise a nice idea.

Yeah but on one hand you hold the possibility of peace and in the other rampant profiteering.

For an absolute scumbag the choice is obvious, no?

Oh, good. Maybe they will stop trying to scrape my websites at some ridiculous rate using faked real browser UAs. I just blocked their whole ASN (AS45102) in the end.

Didn’t have the link to hand. But a search turned this one up: https://reggiodigital.com/blog/nginx-rule-blocking-bad-bots/ it looks to be the same list, and you can see the ones I’ve added to the end of that list.
