Network Engineering is not just a job. It is a lifestyle
I have been using WireGuard VPN and recently I want my folks to browse the Internet safely via the OPNsense firewall. What this means is I will be implementing a full-tunnel VPN and not a split-tunnel VPN. I really don’t want to generate a WireGuard key for each user because it is not scalable. I …
For five years, I have been using Ubiquiti Unifi access points. I got tired of issues with upgrading the APs, and random disconnects. Also, the controller is now showing some promotions.

Have you encountered an issue with your VyOS instance where after upgrading the system, the interfaces either missing or got mixed around? I have been dealing with this issue with my Supermicro MBD-A1SRi-2758F-O board with Intel x520-DA2. It is a hit and miss issue. The symptoms are the hardware MAC address of each interface got …
From the previous post, we chatted about upgrading the VyOS system using different methods. However, what if something went sideways and did not go according to the system upgrade plan then what now? This is going to be a short post and we are going to explore the options based on two different scenarios: After …
I just want to say this and this is also has mentioned in the VyOS wiki that despite VyOS is based off Debian Linux, do not use apt upgrade or apt dist-upgrade; otherwise, you will break your VyOS instance. There are several ways of upgrading the system. The first one is to use the direct …
