Wireguard on Unifi
In a recent Beta firmware for various Unifi cloud consoles, Teleport was released. Under the covers, this appears to be run over wireguard. I have been using Wireguard as VPN for some time, though when I migrated off my USG I have had to run this from a raspberry pi in my network instead. After […]

Valid SSL certificate on a UDR
I recently got a Unifi Dream Router as an upgrade from the Unifi Security Gateway. One of the differences is that the controller is hosted on the router itself, i quite often use the local access as opposed to going via unifi.ui.com. Since this is exposed locally on 443, i wanted to be able to […]

Configuring Multicast DNS and IGMP across VLANs on Unifi
Since I have two VLANS, some things stop working if I am trying to use a device on one network from the other. As an example, at the moment I have put my Sonos speakers on the IOT VLAN, but i want to be able to control that from my mobile which connects to the […]

Adding host records and cnames to a Unifi USG
At the moment I have my local domain name set to gsellis.com – the first issue I came across was that I lost the ability to look up my domain names on the internet – because the USG held the record of truth for gsellis.com. I am fairly sure I should be able to configure […]

Configuring OpenVPN
After my vpn stopping working due to changes in openssl, i reinstalled it on a newer raspberry pi and tried to move my keys over – this didn’t work, first due to the diffie hellman only being 1024 bytes, then for some reason my client couldn’t negotiate tls, so rather than invest time getting the […]

Debugging SQS::QueuePolicy in AWS
At work I needed to deploy an SQS queue along with policies to restrict access to the correct roles. I came across an annoying error, which took way to long to figure out. I originally started writing this as I assumed it would be some obscure problem that could affect other people…..in reality it was […]

Getting settled in
It’s now the Sunday of my first complete week in Sweden. I hoped I’d have sorted more out than I have. After being offered a job last week, I got the contract through on Tuesday and went straight down to Skatteverket to register and get a personnummer. This seemed to go well, as the person […]

A few days ago I completed quite a long drive from the UK to Sweden. The journey length was about 1100 miles. The route I took was : All in all I spread the drive over three days, the first driving in the afternoon to Dover where I stayed over night. Then on the […]
