ipv4

I have been trying out Scaleway's arm64 VMs with FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE. As they don't offer official images, it's necessary to upload the qcow2 release image to their object store, convert it to a snapshot, turn the snapshot into an image from the command line, and finally boot the image. Once...

I'm working on a project where I'm planning to implement custom read receipts at the IPv4/TCP layer by modifying the BSD networking stack. My goal is to detect if someone is harvesting data from my server by tracking whether packets are being properly received and acknowledged. What I've Done...

UPDATE: I may have actually solved this, by swapping the order so that the jail creates the RFC1918 address on that interface FIRST, and then creates the loopback interface second. Now this confuses me even more, since I cannot route using ipv4 from the host system on that FIB, but it is...

I set up the following json file for shadowsocks: { "server":["::1","127.0.0.1","162.223.88.40"], "mode":"tcp_and_udp", "server_port":8388, "local_port":1080, "password":"foobar", "timeout":86400, "method":"chacha20-ietf-poly1305" } Then I receive in the...

My Internet wasn't working properly, and I wasn't able to ping my router. Some Internet sites worked, while others didn't. Used a live Linux CD, and the Internet was fine, and I could ping my router from it. That showed that the problem wasn't my router or the Ethernet cable. It turns out that...

While trying to understand if it is possible for me to have more than one IP address in my computer (I don't even have one that is static at the moment), I found the discussions on this thread which seems to say: 1. Does this mean that it is possible to have multiple IP addresses mapped to a...

Recently I have started to DualStack my online services and wondered how many of us actually started/completed the conversion? Please share your experience/issues and future plans too..

After updating to 12.2-RELEASE my box no longer can reach a default route for ipv4. ipv6 seems to autoconfigure, but ifconfig does not show an inet entry. I have been able to fix it manually, but it requires me to do it after every reboot. Manual Fix after reboot: sudo setfib 0 route add...
