Microsoft confirmed WINS will be removed from Windows Server releases following Server 2025, with support ending in November 2034. Organizations relying on NetBIOS name resolution are advised to audit dependencies and migrate to DNS/DNSSEC, conditional forwarders, or split-brain DNS.

This is an important long-term planning moment for IT and security teams maintaining older environments.

So Wireguard seems to stop working if the clients don't talk to each other within a certain period of time. Not sure which side of the communications is causing it, but I'm going to add some keepalive parameters, and have PostgreSQL go through Wireguard as well, so hopefully that'll keep things running. Either that or stuff's gonna go down and I'm going to feel silly. #serverops
