    From deon@21:2/116 to Oli on Sun Dec 13 11:19:56 2020
    Hey Oli,

    I'm going to be switching routers, I have a MikroTik Hex router that I'm going to use for a while.

    The downside is I'll loose the Tor config, so if you are still connecting over Tor you'll need to change to binkp/binkps. (From memory you have those details).

    I could look at moving the tor stuff to the Pi as well - its not something I know a lot about, so if there is something quick and easy (and a docker container), I can set it up quickly, otherwise it'll go on the list of things I






















































    need (and want) to do.

    No problem, I have both addresses in the binkd node config and can easily switch between them.

    #node 21:3/100@fsxnet uvacs3kkxy....p4lxamniid.onion
    node 21:3/100@fsxnet -pipe "gnutls-cli --logfile /dev/null --no-ca-verification





















































    --strict-tofu --disable-sni *H:24553"

    but binkps (TLS) is down too at the moment (the TLS proxy answers the connection, but then I get a timeout)

    (and a docker container), I can set it up quickly, otherwise it'll go on the list of things I need (and want) to do.

    It's just two config lines in /etc/tor/torrc:

    HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/binkd
    HiddenServicePort 24554 127.0.0.1:24554

    For most mails your node polls my node over TLS anyway. The Tor stuff is just nice to have experimental stuff (and IMHO easier to setup than TLS).

    The IPv6 address doesn't work.

    The IPv6 address doesn't work.

    Thanks - yes, I'm aware.

    Because of the new router, all my IPs changed (argh...) - and I'm about to change ISPs anyway (which hopefully will give me static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses).

    So I've turned off IPv6 temporarily, and I'll get it back on soon.

    Everything should resolve to an IPv4 address for now.

    Howdy,

    but binkps (TLS) is down too at the moment (the TLS proxy answers the
    connection, but then I get a timeout)

    Ahh, I lost my internal DNS which this was dependant on.

    I think I fixed it - but havent test it yet.

    I still get an IPv6 address from DNS and binkd tries to connect to it by default.
