I thought that too at first but this wasn’t the case. I bug is, that if a switch-event of these specific switches are routed through one of those plugs, the plug reacts to it, even though it is not addressed to it. So the behavior also changes over time, depending on where the events where are routed. They switched the correct target lamp as expected, but also random plugs on the way.

I had a similar issue in the past. I’ve got a bunch of Ikea switches and Aqara Smart Plugs. At some point, using the switches also switched random plugs on and off without any automation set up for it. I wasn’t able to figure anything out through the logs and it drove me mad for weeks until I finally read that it’s due to a bug in the firmware of the plugs and Aqare couldn’t be bothered to fix it. I had to manually downgrade the firmware in order to get everything working again.

What you describe sounds very similar to what I experienced. Maybe have a look if that kind of bug was introduced recently for your devices too.

Did you test your gluetun setup manually and made sure it generally works (e.g. by setting up another container that is connected to gluetun, go into the shell and try to ping a public service, that you’re sure isn’t blocking requests from VPN users)?

If it does work and only qBittorrent can’t connect, it could be due to the trackers blocking VPN users. I’m not torrenting but I’ve read about that in the past.

Yubikeys. I have 2 of them and both have the same entries in case one breaks.

I’d hope so too, but as there are so few platforms offering proper support for hardware keys, I wouldn’t hold my breath for it.

What you call “much smaller mini edition” is still more extensive and thorough than 99% of posts on this platform :D and I really enjoy and appreciate it!

Thank you again for this high quality post! It’s always a pleasure to read.

I’m happy that GOG finally added proper F2A, though I’m a little sad that they didn’t implement FIDO U2F. It’s not only way more convenient to just use a hardware token as a second factor, but if my knowledge is correct, it’s also more secure.

They dropped the Tidal integration and I’m still heartbroken. It was the best setup for music discovery. Haven’t found a replacement yet.
