Makenshi FoxThis week I will be replacing my router (#Ubiquiti #Edgerouter Lite) with an Alta Labs #Route10. The ERL has been great, but there is one specific condition which causes severe performance issues. The ERL can offload #ipv6, #vlan and #pppoe at 1gbs, but not all at once. So, if you try to transfer a lot of ipv6 traffic, it drops to software and it then affects all traffic passing through. The main "culprit" is Steam which prefers ipv6 (as it should!) The new router should not have that limitation.
flatplanetA fun hour or so of troubleshooting #IPv6 just to realise that I'd forgotten to reconfigure the #dhcpPrefixDelegation onto the #vif after making it #vlanaware #edgerouter #slaac #ubiquity

My #edgerouter lite works good with #OpenBSD 
Never had any luck with installing #NetBSD 
on it.
Or you can use #openwrt 
So I am using this #edgerouter with #OpenBSD
But i have issues turning it on. It can't find usb on poweron, so on the console i give the reset command. and it boots normally.. just a small inconvenience

NicdI wrote a post about installing #OpenWrt on my #EdgeRouter X, just to share information. The post also has links to IPv6 configurations for the stock firmware, which did not work for me, but might work for others.

Ok, so I installed #OpenWRT on the #EdgeRouter X I talked about yesterday, and… it went great! Had to flash it in two parts but it worked perfect, #IPv6 works out of the box, and my network is up and running again. 💜 And I got a public IP from the ISP so even that worry is gone.
Now I just need to figure out the firewall rules to allow IPv6 traffic to hit my home server (and the server only).

Welp, wasted a whole evening on trying to get #IPv6 to work on my #EdgeRouter X. Maybe I should install #OpenWRT on it... Anyway, turns out my new ISP has their own NAT on IPv4 and that's just great for my #SelfHosting. 🤦♂️ Gotta call them tomorrow and see if I could get a public IP somehow.
WolfensteijnThe Ubiquiti Edgerouter-X is a nifty router. With hardware offloading enabled the performance is good enough to route gigabit fiber.
With the new (still in beta) firmware version 3 they added a better webinterface and the option to configure Wireguard VPN tunnels.
Please don't use this Wireguard option to tunnel between home and a remote server. Both on gigabit connections.
Wireguard tunneling is done on the CPU, and that has no power whatsoever.
ITnetXA nice little Project. ESPterm on Ubiquiti Edgerouter X. Now i can configure router wirelessly without need to change any configurations. Perfect Out of Band Management #ubiquiti #edgerouter #espterm
