The scenario: the home network is centered around a Linux server. This acts as (amongst a number of other things) a large data repository. All our media files, photos, music and so on are stored on it. Apart from the convenience of having it all centrally located, it also provides data security: all critical […] With two young children starting to make increasing use of the Internet, my attention has turned in recent times to the thorny subject of Content Filtering. This posting is actually going to look at a technical approach I settled upon, however one cannot help mentioning, at least in passing, some of the wider issues involved. […] Love technology toys? Check. Read a lot? Check. Often would read if had remembered or had space to bring book? Checkitycheck. I am absolutely in the prime target audience for a Kindle. Amazon having just launched their latest and greatest (by all accounts) Kindle 3, I was on the very brink of buying it. The […] VirtualBox. What a splendid piece of software. Just a quick post to flag up this software, which deserves recognition. It’s a VMware lookalike, but entirely Free (as in beer and as in GNU GPL) Digiblue boo As owner of a Digital Blue QX5 microscope (one of the cheapest, greatest,  “serious educational toys” you can […] Previous articles have detailed various aspects of getting IPv6 running on a home-gateway router. The aim is to migrate as much as possible towards an IPv6-only situation. Here I cover the steps required to implement a simple point-to-point OpenVPN (SSL) VPN tunnel using PSK over IPv6 infrastructure. One key element for me is to migrate […] My much-loved Pinnacle Showcenter (written about previously here, for example)  finally packed up. Not sure what killed it – did the obligatory open-it-up-and-buzz-it-a-bit routine. PSU  seemed OK, but when the main board was connected up, something was dragging the PSU down big-time. No obviously failed components, so you are left with the likelihood […] Interesting appeal court decision in the UK yesterday. A certain Gary McFarlane, a “ Christian relationship counsellor” lost his appeal over a refusal to offer sex therapy to a gay couple. The story seems fairly well covered here, here and here (lefties, right-wing and The BBC!) with similar reporting. First off one cannot but wonder […] IPv6 DNS – It works for me….. but it shouldn’t. When in my IPv6 environment I perform a test ping to, say, Google, it seems to work great: ping6 ipv6.google.com PING ipv6.google.com(2a00:1450:8006::6a) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 2a00:1450:8006::6a: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=49.3 ms 64 bytes from 2a00:1450:8006::6a: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=44.6 ms . . . Which […] After three articles, where am I with my venture in to IPv6? What have we really achieved so far? Well, in functional terms, not so very much yet!! To recap: Here I covered a lot of ground, getting basic IPv6 running on a Linux gateway box connected to an ISP providing native IPv6, while […] Following on from my first tutorial, we have a box set up which has basic IPv6 connectivity. There’s a firewall in place with a simple but sufficient configuration. And we can ping6 from this box to remote IPv6 destinations. All of this has, so far, made use only of one network interface (in my case […] |
