  • Doug - tonight learned a little more about DNS, LAN routing, subnet mask -- horrific clouds of uncertainty now firming up, building something in 1kb of code seems quite a good challenge, cold golf!
  • David - learned: about the vocabulary of networks, in a nebulous cloud, undifferentiaed concepts, hope to learn a bit more. moving soon, ISP, router research coming up. cisco net certification.

Lesson or Demo[edit]

  • Read aloud: clarify for meetup. We are taking notes in a riseup pad (or I am--help appreciated, and links). We have meeting notes posted to the wiki. noisebridge.net, search Infra, or Meetups/Infra. (the Infrastructure page has a disambiguation link.)
  • Shell, web services, self-hosting, networking!


Personal cloud storage (nextcloud) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV Recommend yunohost.org for getting it up

VPN question. As a rule, you access a VPN over the internet.

So instead of

[computer] -> [lan/router] -> [ISP] -> [internet]


[computer] -> [local encrypt] -> [tunnel via vpn] / 
  [computer / vpn traffic] -> [lan/router] -> [ISP] -> [internet] -> [vpn provider]

 [vpn provider] -> [internet dests]
