 Vera Gradient | for some reason podman isn't setting its own route_localnet to 1 anymore for me, has anyone ran into this? for now I've fixed it by setting it manually on my sysctl config but I'm certain this should be set automatically in the first place | 16:52:32 |

 Autiboy | What version of nixos? | 01:59:31 |
 woobilicious | Anyone here run a custom sinkhole (i.e. pi-hole) setup for bind9 or similar? Not a fan of pi-hole since it's just a fork of dnsmasq, with all its limitations, and I wanted to setup encrypted dns stuff | 06:19:55 |
 magic_rb | I do bind9 on top of dnscrypt-proxy2 | 09:06:01 |
|  @cinerealkiara:matrix.org left the room. | 11:08:09 |
 @acidbong:envs.net | when NetworkManager uses Resolved or Dnsmasq as a backend, do they run continuously or only update resolv.conf when called? | 16:05:10 |
 K900 | They are resolvers | 16:05:59 |
| K900 | They don't manage resolv.conf because resolv.conf is not sufficient to express the logic they implement | 16:06:10 |
| @acidbong:envs.net | got it | 16:11:56 |
| @acidbong:envs.net | so they run in the background? | 16:12:06 |
| K900 | Yes | 16:12:10 |
| K900 | There's a daemon running in the background | 16:12:16 |
| @acidbong:envs.net | now NixOS-specific: why does Resolved module sets NetworkManager resolver, but Dnsmasq doesn't? | 17:01:52 |
| K900 | Because dnsmasq is weird and NM runs its own | 17:04:27 |

| woobilicious | Thinking I might use unbound since it's easier to configure, and then setup a service that periodically pulls adblock lists and adds them as a blacklist, dnscrypt seems like the technical better solution since it's udp based, but DoT seems more wildly supported | 04:59:23 |
 emily | dnscrypt-proxy2 can itself do blocking IIRC | 05:07:48 |
| magic_rb | I dont want blocking as a feature. I have ublock everywhere and dont run much proprietary software | 08:36:49 |
 Pratham Patel | At the moment, I have a very simple firewall rule for my router to ensure traffic between private and guest networks don't ever interfere. The configuration for that is here. Additionally, I have a helper function of sorts to create wireguard interfaces. Given I'm very new to firewall rules and routing, I'm not sure how to ensure that all traffic from the private network is routed via the wireguard interface but the guest network's traffic exits without ever touching the wireguard interface. Let's call it wg0 on the router.
I believe that this setup will require the following additional rules to the forward chain in the router-fw table:
iifname "isolated" oifname "wg0" drop
iifname "wg0" oifname "isolated" drop
iifname "trusted" oifname "wg0" accept
iifname "wg0" oifname "trusted" accept
iifname "wg0" oifname "wan" accept
iifname "wan" oifname "wg0" accept
And also require a new output chain in the router-fw table:
chain output {
type filter hook output priority filter; policy accept;
accept
}
This is what I have come up with so far. Is there anything else that I'm missing, or doing wrong?
