LOL Not really, but boy it has been a day. Started at 7:00 am and I finally resolved (?) the issue. In fact I’ve got through every last bit of my network, and at this point in the evening, I actually don’t have a solid reason why the issue was present. Something in my VPN settings glitched, or something got triggered on pFsense and got hung up…something, something with Tailscale. It wasn’t CLoudflare this time. LOL
You ever do so much to a problem that when you ‘fix’ it, you have no real idea what the fix truly was? You ever have a problem and find all the shit you cobbled together in the name of ‘just get it running and back online’? I did, and decided that I would fix that shit too. It took all flippin’ day.
You guys that do this for a living…I salute you! jebus crispies!
ETA: 8 bells and all’s well today.
Man, I know that feeling. One thing that helped me better deal with issues like this, was to have a changelog. Basically I write down what a setting was, what I changed it to and a reason. If something goes wrong, I can at least undo what changes I’ve made and see if it helps. It’s not perfect, but it might shave some hours off a RCA.
This is what led me to set up SnipeIT and keep a log on every change on each device. It gets wild as the devices and services increase.
I’ve seen the app rolling around in Awesome Lists, but always thought it was for larger operations with a lot of infrastructure and not necessarily a home lab. I might look into it seriously.
