We’re missing the most important rule here. Did the nephew open a ticket?
I legitimately can’t tell if this is a joke or some dude trying to do a humble brag post on LinkedIn. So many ‘look what I can do’ posts on that damn site.
LinkedIn is Poe’s Law for corporatism made into a lifestyle.
Guest vlan? Smart.
Blocking 80/443 knowing all to well everything depends on those: evil.
Throttling to 56k: the original original poster just being a dick.
Took 45 minutes: Maybe find another job. You’re not good at it.
Conclusion: The sister was right. Evil incompetent dick.
I mean fuck me, i can build an entire bespoke DDU from bare metal to cool down in less time than that.
I have a feeling this is satire, and I’m usually the type of person to miss the joke and think it’s genuine

Bit harsh.
The OpenWRT guest wifi guide isn’t a simple switch like you would get on your OEM router, but involves manually setting up a bridge device, a new firewall zone, and a new AP on one of your radios.
This can take some time if you want to do things the right way. 10 minutes to setup with no extra config steps. Add another 10 if you need to move around your firewall rules, and another 20 for random debugging.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/guestwifi/configuration_webinterface
Although, you set it up once. After that it’s just a checkbox.
and of course you need to tag the new network on all your switches, routers, APs… not to forget testing and integration in your monitoring system. 45 minutes is absolutely fine.
Oh true , hadn’t thought about that - I just assumed it was a single device
I feel like when ‘Zero Trust’ first became a thing, the theme was ‘you should have every endpoint under your control hardened so it need not feer untrusted peers being able to connect’. E.g. if you think you absolutely need VPN to a ‘private network’ for security, then you are failing to be hardened in a ‘zero trust’ way, because you implicitly fear that your systems would fall to untrusted peers.
I feel like it’s evolved to ‘don’t let anything be able to connect to anything under your control unless you have admin privilege over it as well’. Which is particularly a nightmare when you try to collaborate between two companies, each balking at the other’s hard requirement to have admin access to all network peers of interest.
what a dick move tbh. i get ya wanna be secure, but why not just let him do his thing on that alternate network?
guess this is satire. zero trust and byod mix well, just isolate from your shit and you are done. block port 25 outgoing and known c2 IPs to not taint your IP.
This is just Uncle BOFH.
Kid should be learning social skills at a family party.
As a former kid struggling with social skills, I think that would’ve done me some good. It’s easy and convenient to fall into avoidance behaviour, but overcoddling did me no favours.
I was told overcoddling reduces resiliency. Parents always coming in to fix things without letting their kids try to solve it on their own. The kid may fail but the act of trying and figuring out why it failed helps greatly. Most parents just “don’t want to see their kids upset” though.
Take it with a grain of salt, as I don’t have any kids.
The real question is : Why did you invite anyone over, before having a guest VLAN set up ? Classic beginner mistake.
Sounds like the network people at my company. They are asking us to spend more time in the office, but they don’t provide enough desks, they don’t provide working wired LAN and they only provide semi-working Wifi. All with proxies that don’t work and filters that don’t let me access the webapp I am supposed to maintain, which is blocked for “being a commercial website”. Thanks, I know, I have to program that crap.
I have two seperate guest VLANs, one for my family, and one for the people I love.
Whatever happened to just talking to each other? I’m glued to my devices all day every day, yet even I ignore the phone during holiday family gatherings.
Nobody’s forcing you to go; if you prefer be on the internet rather than interacting with your family, please just stay home.
Most people feel obligated to at least pretend they like their family.
Don’t worry, you’ll eventually get over your feelings of obligations towards others before you reach 40. Life becomes a lot less stressful once you stop giving a fuck about being a people-pleaser.
For me, i felt like that also when I was 35. I didnt want my family to be in my life since I didnt feel good around them.
Now at 50, I have again connected to some of them. Because you get back to those feelings that life is not endless and you start to think about that you will one day not be here anymore. And its nicer if that happens when you have made peace with at least some of those people.
Tldr, age made me think different at different stages. Maybe it happens for others as well. :)
It changes one kind of stress for another in a lot of cases. If you annoy everyone you come into contact with, you end up alone, which isn’t great for your mental health, and turns every interaction into an annoyance, so you end up stressed by the necessity of interacting with people you don’t want to interact with. There is no escape from humanity when you are human.
How about running guest WLAN?
I’ll admit it. I can feel that vibe and I don’t totally disagree.
45 minutes setting up an alt vlan?
Was he getting paid by the hour?
The experience of managing a consumer-grade LAN appliance:
Open web browser
Start typing 192.168.0.1
It auto-inserts 192.168.0.12 because that’s the IP address of your NAS, and you’ve logged into it to adjust something at some point in the last six months. You register it has done this as you’re releasing the Enter key.
click Back.
Type the IP address again, this time carefully deleting the 2 it oh so helpfully inserted.
Wait 3 to 5 business weeks while the 16-bit ARM microcontroller they put in these things serves a web page like old people fuck. It loads to a completely useless stats page that has no information that anyone has ever needed to know.
Click LAN Setup.
Wait 3 to 5 business weeks while the 16-bit ARM microcontroller they put in these things serves a web page like old people fuck.
Parse the wall of acronyms before you, click the link that says DHCP.

It continues in that fashion until you get what you need done or your network stops working and you have to get a pen and press the Reset button on the back of the device.

I avoid this by having my router interface on 1) a double digit IP. And 2) a non-standard port
IT professional doesn’t have local DNS? LOL

This also goes for some NAS appliances and the in-dash console of newer cars. Underpowered ARM implementations are the scourge of this decade.
Imagine not having an opnsense firewall deployed as an IT professional
Lol wtf? Why even spend 45 minutes doing that if you’re going to completely block those ports?
Just tell him “no”.
Throtting and port blocking is for housemates who pissed you off, not nephews.
“oh I’m trying to fix it just give me a few more minutes away from everyone” lights joint
It’s about sending a message.
Guys a madman, didn’t even ask for a ticket.
Fuck you with your ISO 27001 compliance!
Also, fuck that kid.
Also, fuck that kid’s mother.
She’s the enabler here.
What idiot IT specialist does not run a segregated VLAN for guest wifi access? That is just rude.
And separate wifi networks that are connected to different vpns from around the world.
A broke one.
