Moving Away From Cloudflare
A few weeks ago, after going to FOSDEM, I finally decided to move away from Cloudflare. Thatβs something that has been on my mind for quite a while, but I guess the law of inertia was keeping me from doing it. Today I want to show how simple it can be.
Home networking and preventing DNS leaks
I'm thinking of getting my OPNsense device back up again. At my previous place of residence, I had AT&T internet, and AT&T had all sorts of configurable options in their modem that played well with my OPNsense device. At my current place of residence, I have Xfinity Comcast, and the only option I can configure on their modem that would allow me to use my OPNsense device is "Enable/disable bridge mode". When I first moved in here, I tried doing that, but for some reason the IPv4 gateway on my OPNsense device wasn't picking up anything. I believe I had everything configured correctly, the Xfinity modem was in Bridge mode, and the OPNsense router was assigned the public IP address from my Xfinity account. This was four months ago, and it's very likely I missed something in the configuration, so it can't hurt to try again. The worst-case scenario is that I reset my Xfinity modem to factory defaults and continue to use that. But it would sure be nice if I could have more control over that portion of my internet.
