Connect to your local router from wan through ssh

In a previous post, I've described how to open remote management for your bbox2 / local modem-router via ssh.

I've found an easier and more secure way to achieve this :

Prerequisites :
* You have PuTTY (or an ssh client)
* ssh server on your local network is reachable from wan

In PuTTY settings > Connection > SSH > Tunnels, define the following :

  • Source port : 8080 (or any free port on your computer running PuTTY)
  • Destination : 192.168.1.1:80 (assuming your router ip is 192.168.1.1 and the default web interface running on port 80)
  • Click on [Add]
  • Apply changes

You can now connect on your router web interface from your computer running PuTTY via the following address : http://localhost:8080/

Resolve "Cannot download packages whilst offline" issue in Deja-Dup backup software

If you got the error message "Cannot download packages whilst offline" but your internet connection is active, this is probably because you've managed the network configuration yourself and the network manager is reporting an offline status even if it's not correct. To fix this issue, simply edit the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change the following configuration to be inline with: [ifupdown] managed=true Then restart the Network Manager : sudo service NetworkManager restart #1

ubuntu 20.04 / netplan / change mac address and static ip

I wasn't able to set together a virtual mac address and a static IP using netplan: either the mac address didn't change, or IP was not set. I finally got the trick using a fake nic definition that matches the new virtual mac address I've set.    network:   renderer: networkd   ethernets:     ens160:       match:         macaddress: 00:0c:29:5a:69:00       macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6     ens160_2:       match:         macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6        addresses: [ 139.99.5.72/32 ]       nameservers:         addresses: [ 8.8.8.8 ]       routes:       - to: 0.0.0.0/0         via: 139.99.5.254         on-link: true     ens192:       addresses: [192.168.103.14/24]       #dhcp4: true   version: 2

Connect the Xiaomi Yi Ants Cam to your Synology Surveillance Station

1) Ensure the current firmware of your cam allows you to see the steam without authentication. You can check this using vlc and connecting to rtsp://192.168.1.128:554/ch0_0.h264 If you are able to see the stream, you can go to the next point. Otherwise you have to downgrade the firmware of your cam : Simply place this file on the root of an SD card, insert the SD card in the cam and reset it (a reboot may be sufficient) 2) Create the following file on your synology using putty /volumeX/@appstore/SurveillanceStation/device_pack/camera_support/Xiaomi.conf with this content: [Xiaomi*Ants] api = custom resolution_h264 = 1280x720 default_resolution_h264 = 1280x720 fps_h264_640x480 = 5,10,15,20,25,30 fps_h264_1280x720 = 5,10,15,20,25,30 default_fps_h264_1280x720 = 10 default_image-quality = 5 h264 = rtsp mpeg4 = rtsp mjpeg = rtsp motion = h264,mpeg4,mjpeg motion_param = sensitivity,threshold rtsp_keepalive = none rtsp_protocol = auto,udp,tcp 3) In the surveillanc
