Where do I start?
I ordered FTTH service from VOX, trusting that they would be on the ball with the order as I have experienced with them in the past, boy was I wrong?
After I have placed the order, OpenServe was quick to install the new ONT on-prem, and that was where things went south...
I'm totally going to dive deeper into the OS, the wiki looked a little intimidating at first but once I started working through it it's not that bad.
I guess the best way is to lab everything up and get to know the OS through trial and error.
I did exactly that today, not going to brag but I think it's a pretty solid config. :ROFL:
I just missed a few things that Mikrotik does differently than other vendors.
yeah, normally on other routers everything is blocked on your WAN interface by default, I realise now with Mikrotik it's a different story, but hey, so we learn :)
Ah I see, I use the router to serve DNS requests to clients,
So I've just added rules to accept TCP/UDP 53 from LAN and drop anywhere else.
I'll check if that helps.
I only noticed ICMP was open when I torched the interface and checked the rules, not sure if I put the rule there or if it's part of the default config,
But it's gone now.
I don't think its really going to make a difference, the 86 000 packets per sec will still hit the interface and consume...
So for the last few days, I've been having heavy packet drops on my fibre line,
After logging several calls with my ISP and them just doing the normal port reset etc, I decided to check my router to see what is going on.
Upon investigation I found this:
I'm getting bombed with 86k...
