New post: Joining DN42. The parallel hobbyist BGP network on WireGuard.

The setup: ASN registered via a git PR, MikroTik CHR on bhyve as border, three WireGuard peerings, FreeBSD jail running PowerDNS + nginx.

The fun part: blog.chofstede.dn42 serves the same content as blog.hofstede.it, but with a TLS cert signed by DN42's own CA and zero packets on the public internet. Two front doors to the same building.

Well, now that is looking healthy 🙂

DN42 with working DNS resolution, Dual-Stack with IPv4 and IPv6, proper speed of almost 200mbps / 40mbps and 4 peers that exchange routes cleanly with my router (two MultiProtocol, one seperated into IPv4 and IPv6)

Even have a server running in DN42, that is actually reachable:

v4: 172.21.66.194
v6: fdce:73f7:a2dc::194

Time for a Beer 🍺

@mikrotik Is there any official statement from Mikrotik regarding the claim that backdoors have been used by the US?
