'Port' or app specific communication tunnel, should be inside the network request header, not 16 wasted bits. IPv4 is four 8-bit registers, port is two 8-bit registers. That's 6 total. The vast majority of use cases for port is unnecessary or wasted. But those 16 bits still exist.

This was necessary 60 years ago, yes, when these technologies were novel. This isn't the case anymore. This IPv6 swap is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. 255.255.255.255.255.255 is just as easy to remember as 255.255.255.255 and you're clearly a nigger if you disagree.

My fucking headscale server is broken and I can't figure out how to fix it, and this is obnoxious as fuck. My entire homelab is sourced specifically from my tailnet's exit node, which is also my homelab's gateway and it's own exit node. So now my nigger self has a whole bunch of useless trash that's locked away. I mean, I could just repurpose the IPs, but that's too easy. But that's also because headscale and wireguard is getting, has gotten, (((usurped))) by tailscale which wants you to register with some centralized kikery. Why the fuck do I want my private VPN locked behind some website I do not own or control?

I have more to rant about, but it makes me look retarded, but that's because you're retarded.

Today was leg day. Help me AOUsama, you're my only hope!

I could help, but trust is paramount.

My headscale server is within a subnet. This subnet only has one device on it that has access to the internet and act s as the router and gateway for the subnet, the exit node.

My headscale nodes are all physical devices I own, however when they reboot, they need to re-access the headscale server, which needs to be routed to by not only my physical router (physical router -> exit node -> headscale server), but after that it needs to go through the exit node gateway, then be routed (still the exit node) to the headscale server. This all works properly except on device reboot. It does and doesn't make sense.

I'm told that the headscale server shouldn't be exposed to the internet. But I'm sitting here thinking I should expose it, to at the very least test if that fixes things, right now this triple router, gateway, router hop hop hop is kinda gay.

Oh, also all of these devices are LXCs on my PVE, so there are more firewalls to take care of.

Are you using DHCP or fixed/manual IPs

Everything is static except within the tailnet, which I don't care about, there are only 3 devices. I've never done networking before, this is insane. I get all these rules are necessary, but to the uninitiated it's rather insane. But that's my fault, I went head first into things I have virtually zero grasp on. It's fine, I'll probably just completely remake this PVE all LXCs i ncluded. There's a 100% chance I fucked some conf file real hard.
