There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. As Alec shares in the article, it turns out that adding Tor to a “standard” DoH configuration doesn’t significantly impact performance (as measured by latency).

This article contains some good information on IPv6 for those who are just starting to get more familiar with it, although toward the end it turns into a bit of an advertisement. Although Linux is often considered to be superior to Windows and macOS with regard to security, it is not without its own security flaws.

Want/need to better understand IPv6? I recently came across this series on AWS security by ScaleSec. This is truly an information-dense article, and if working with the AWS API Gateway falls into your job responsibilities then this is probably a good post to read. Denise Fishburne has you covered. There’s a lot here!

I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Here’s an interesting article on the role that virtualization is playing in the network functions virtualization (NFV) space now that ARM hardware is growing increasingly powerful. Servers/Hardware.

I’ve got a new collection of links and articles from around the Web on various data center-focused technologies. Michael Kashin has a great article on how Open Virtual Network (OVN, part of the Open vSwitch project) implements virtual networks in OpenStack. Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Ivan Pepelnjak has a great article that tries to get to the kernel of truth in the middle of the intent-based networking hype. Here’s hoping you find something useful! Networking. Servers/Hardware.

I’m not sure if this falls here or into the “Cloud Computing/Cloud Computing” category, but Shannon McFarland—fellow co-conspirator with the Denver OpenStack Meetup group—has a nice article describing some design and deployment considerations for IPv6 in the OpenStack Kilo release. VXLAN overlay networks between AWS and GCE?

As usual, here’s my random collection of links, articles, and thoughts about various data center technologies. Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. Someone pointed me toward this article on using Sophos UTM for remote access to their home lab. Networking. Pete Lumbis shows you how. Servers/Hardware.

As usual, I gathered an odd collection of links and articles from around the web on key data center technologies and trends. Michael Ryom has a nice (but short) article on using Log Insight along with a NetFlow proxy to help provide more detailed visibility into traffic flows between VMs on NSX logical networks.

Kirk Byers has a helpful article that provides some suggestions and guidelines for how to make your network automation/network scripts become more than just your own personal hobby at work. I highly recommend this article. Networking.

Modify the security group(s) to allow UDP port 51280 to the instance(s) that will have defined Wireguard interfaces. Most of the Wireguard tutorials I saw focused only on this approach, so you’re likely to find other articles out there that share similar (or the same) information.

Anthony Spiteri, who works at an Australian service provider running NSX, has some in-depth articles discussing vShield Edge and NSX Edge ( part 1 , part 2 , part 3 , and part 4 ). Here’s a nice article on using Ansible with Arista EOS. If you haven’t read Brent’s article on building network tools with Docker , I highly recommend it.

I have used senses to report on vulnerable open SSL implementations for my Heartbleed articles. ipv6 is designed to overcome the problems of ipv4 address exhaustion. So it would be very, very hard to scan for all the ipv6 addresses. So this was a business doing security and their main website and back into real compromise.

Sean, Your DNS article does not discuss how SBSe sets the DNS forwarders entries in the Server's DNS properties. This article does help me to configure my SBSe DNS. Thanks for the very informative article. Installation of the DHCP role is straightforward enough until the question of IPv6 is raised. 7/19/2011 3:45 PM.

The author of this article is publishing a workaround, not setting expectations. The address listed is actually your ipv6 ip address. Apparently, Lion disables a security protocol this depended on. You expect home users to do these convoluted steps while your software is broken? Whats going on here? 2/11/2011 10:37 AM.
