• dependencies

we get it and don’t care. they’re convenient and work well.

It’s called split horizon dns and it’s not that bad/nightmarish.

Yep, so if they’re able to access npm via the ip this is likely it.

Right. Can you access your npm server via the ip in your browser? Even if it’s not docmost that it returns?

If you can, it’s probably your browser using its own dns so you’ll have to change that to adguard as well.

NAT Loopback can be a bit finicky but once you set it up there’s no tinkering, it’ll just work forever. The only problem (which really doesn’t matter a bit with a document sharing platform) is that packets first have to go through the router. If your server and client are on the same network then they can communicate directly with each other instead.

I’ll start from the beginning.

You’re hosting a service on your LAN, and using port forwarding to expose this service to the internet on your public ip.

The problem is accessing your public ip from your private network. There are two ways to solve this.

a) NAT Loopback, which is a setting or rule you may be able to enable or create on your router to forward packets destined for your public ip (the ones from your private network) to your private server

b) Split horizon DNS, which is actually what you’re doing. Where you set it up so in one network (in this case the internet) you get one result, and on another network (your LAN) you get a different result.

If I had to guess, what’s happening is your dns isn’t resolving properly, and when your computer is trying to reach out to your public ip. The thing with dns is it’s a bit finicky, there are many different places to set your dns server.

First, you should check if it’s resolving correctly. It’ll show you the ip it resolves to when you ping it. If it resolves to your public ip, make sure your dns settings aren’t being overridden by your operating system, and try clearing the cache

i’ve heard the accuracy is off with those… but cmon 50% still means it’s right half the time

Do you have any resources on how to do this? i’d like to give it a go as well

Ah. I see, that seems like a long discussion

Well, cats are individuals in the same way birds, or squirrels are individuals.

Now, I live in Canada, and this discussion doesn’t exist so I don’t know the problems people have been having to constitute a discussion like this, but personally I think if you don’t want cats in your yard, you can put a fence up. Like you do with raccoons, or bears.

Not really, you can strip the cryptography from a photo. What would be more concerning would be the (likely) corporation controlling the certificates.

Does the link give a 404 for anyone else?

DNS can’t leak anything that https dpi can’t do.

We’d do that it’s there were bike paths. If cars didn’t run over cyclists cyclists also wouldn’t die

That not really possible though. In the same way your isp can’t see what YouTube video you’re watching, encryption stops musk from seeing what the military sends to each other. Unless of course the Ukrainian military doesn’t to the whole security thing, which is doubtful.

I hold the opinion that free will is not compatible in a universe with physics. Decisions can be random, but I don’t think the concept of “free will”, as every decision comes from the randomness of the universe, and outside factors. Not “consciousness”

That would be a really good way to break up the fediverse. That really sucks
