  • Share VPN with OS X Sierra Internet Sharing

    Nov 24, 2016 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on:

    After finding that it suited my requirements, I finally decided on a solid VPN - F-Secure Freedome - as recommended by a friend in security.

  • My homelab

    Jun 27, 2016 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on:

    My first homelab ever was started as a single Packard Bell 486 which ran SuSE Linux 5.2. I used it with my @Home connection to host web, DNS and mail services. Over time, I'd move leftover computers to a data center and covered most of my colo fees with the proceeds from Google Adsense, which I added to my website …

  • OS X: How to Setup NAT on Lion and Mountain Lion

    Jul 15, 2012 · 6 min read  ·
    Share on:

    It appears Apple changed the way NAT works, starting in Lion and this upset a lot of people. Apparently, nat would just stop working for some folks after they upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. Finding really in-depth information about Apple's NAT implementation is surprisingly hard. While attempting to figure out how …

  • [Solved] Parallels Desktop: Interface vmnet1 is not present. This should be created at boot time.

    Jul 10, 2012 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I recently modified my Parallels DHCP settings because I'm really particular about the internal subnets I work with in the lab (192.168 is the ugliest subnet ever). Once I modified the file at /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/networking (OS X) my Parallels Desktop erred out and said Interface vmnet1 is not present. …

Recently, my buddy Buck Woody posted a link to the freely available Patterns and Practices book for A Guide to …

    Oct 23, 2011 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    There's a bit of a debate on how best to update your DNS resolver on Mac OS X when connecting to an OpenVPN Server. For whatever reason, even if use DHCP on the VPN server, OS X won't use the assigned DNS server(s). It's been recommended to use scutil, but the scripts are crazy long and I've read the resolver order …

  • OpenWRT & PPTPD: A Love Story

    Feb 20, 2011 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Firesheep got me thinkin' that I should probably do a little more to beef up the security of my Internet connection on public networks. PPTP has always been a favorite of mine, because it hides traffic well enough to deter most people and it's easy to setup on both Linux and Windows. I ran a Windows PPTP server for …
