😱 Not another one.
have to do wireshark tutorials and it's terribly dull
all of them but my diabetic failing vision makes some of the tasks harder
you also forgot wireguard, pls study wireguard https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install (pleased i remembered how to type that whole url)
wireguard is God's gift to sysadmins
Discussion
just get that script and run it on an ubuntu VPS, then add the conf to your local machine's /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf and shut up about how you wish you had tunnels
go look at http://oc.mleku.net rn and log into that
the machine hosting that version of nostrudel is sitting behind my monitor
it is forwarded by my 2 euro/month VPS running wireguard and my mini pc which also runs a bitcoin node has inbound connections due to me setting up iptables to do that, in addition to the WG tunnel out that the (one of two) nostrudels run from
The fact that I can understand that makes me depressed because it means I really am a nerd. 🤣
i didn't think you wouldn't understand it but honestly, i had been wanting to run tunnels for a decade and when i finally grokked WG and found that script, omg, my whole world got 10% brighter
Wait wireshark or wireguard? Two very different things
No, both boring network thingies. 😂
Woah hey, watch what you call boring. You can sniff so many peoples packets with Wireshark. That's gotta count for something.
wireguard is cool, it lets you connect things easily, wireshark is just a pentesting tool
like, my VPS now has no SSH, because it only has WG, and i connect to that and then through it use SSH
it flips the script, wireshark is not generally interesting to sysadmins who aren't infosec nerds
yes i checked, i thought i remembered it was a network packet sniffer, yawn... much more interesting is wireguard, a VPN that uses EC cryptography to enable network tunnels
i could think of ways to make it better (like automating possible direct connections between nodes in the VPN instead of traffic bouncing to the server) but the base principle is awesome, and it was way hard to do it with SSH before WG showed up
