    I’m a mechanic.

    This is both my reason and explanation lol.

    I do my own work has been said to be taken a bit too literally in my case. I got ripped off by Geek Squad when I was 18 and said “wow, it’s just like getting ripped off at a shitty mechanic shop” and ever since then it’s been all hands-on.

    career

    I sat on that fence but being a mechanic gives me guaranteed work and I basically work-out every day. It’s hard, but not brutal and the pay is decent. Surrounded by maga tho.

    My Setup:

    OpenWRT Router: wireguard server, backup DNS

    NAS: Main DNS Server - pihole, no wireguard

    VPS: Client - Endpoint 10.1.99.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24

    Phone: Client - Endpoint 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0

    10.1.99.0 clients can talk to 192.168.2.0 clients and back and forth. The NAS can talk to anyone, anyone can talk to the NAS. Any new client can talk to anything.

    They all use the NAS for DNS, so they all resolve hostnames and domain names.

    why not dns on the router?

    I didn’t like the unbound/adblock gui on Openwrt. I like pihole more. Personal pref.
