  • currently my setup is a dsl modem that goes, to my router/WAP which is a eero, that i plan to eventually replace with a Banna pi R4 which will run openwrt. but as of now the eero goes to my 48 port in my server room, and i have all my computer jacked into that. so to answer your question, my firewall is handled by my router and individual local rules by my machines. im kinda new to self hosting and port forwarding and pfsense looks pretty useful. i know pfsense is based on freebsd so is that a big plus vs openwrt?

    please let me know, what some potential solutions could be.















  • I just use steam gift cards because if my account ever gets compramised it wont have a credit card attached. I recently had a freind get his account locked out and got an email "saying your steam account has been locked please contact are support to recover. It was a link to a discord account and my freind was super tired from work and wasnt thinking right and told them his security questions TO A “STEAM SUPPORT” on discord. He DM’d me and i just finished work and he told me about his new 3060 and i said we should game later. Then he told me about the discord steam support, i googled if steam uses discord and Big suprise it was a scam. I sent him a link to the steam form and he went “oh fuck” and realized his steam account just got stolen. He eventually got it back but lost $40 that was in his steam account :/

    Stay safe out there and dont open spooky emails.
