Yeah that’s fine. The steps were so simple I figured they could work without router config changes if they made some kind of connection handshake in a third party service’s server.

But given all that, I wonder if it makes sense to look into if your router has its own vpn server (or flash the firmware with one that does.)

Is wire guard a service you pay for? Otherwise how does wire guard in your home machine not need your router to forward ports to it? And then the remote client need to be pointed at your home’s external IP?

Can you use timedatectl from the cli, or change the /etc/localtime symlink? Then reboot or restart your Window Manager?

Debian was interesting with their back port / forward port repos for drivers on newer hardware. I had to grab a wifi driver and put it on a USB stick, then figure out the dir to put it in so I didn’t have to manually modprobe or whatever to manually load the driver.

20 years ago on fedora I had to manually mod probe like three different drivers to get my PCMCIA Broadcom wifi card to work. I’m sure fedora is better by now, but damn I still have bad memories about that.

Usually enabling Ubuntu’s third party / proprietary repo covers all necessary drivers.

I remember having lots of driver issues on fedora but that was like two decades ago. I’d imagine they have that sorted now.

Anyway this is good news. Grow the user base.

Didn’t RTA. What distro?
