  • Not hijack but he could disturb it. When US based organizations (afaik 9 out of 12) who run root dns servers change their root-file he could force ISPs in the US to ignore root servers that don’t cooperate. Or Microsoft to update Windows with modified root hints . Or force Google or Cloudflare to do so for their resolvers. Or AWS for their services…

    It wouldn’t stop anyone to ignore said changes and it would be discovered pretty fast. But he could censor the internet and users who don’t care or don’t have the knowledge. Or if you rely on a service who didn’t react (gmail anyone?)

    Even DNSSec wouldn’t help as he would control the start of the chain of trust.

    There are a lot of infrastructure and involved companies based in the US. I don’t say it’s hopeless but don’t underestimate the chaos he could evoke.









  • Our servers are in a data center and not in the office building. We work remote most of the time and are only in office for important meetings and other things where it’s just easier to work together when sitting on the same table. If you don’t work with confidential data like HR or top management where you have physical things nobody else should see, you don’t have a personal desk because there are more people working than workplaces.

    So the office is just “another place to work”. Wifi and LAN are just for internet, you can’t access internal services without VPN. Makes it way easier to manage instead of having to different routes to maintain.







  • Damn you’re right, it doesn’t work out of the box like I expected. Have to admit that I never used it this way around. But it should work with --netns (network name spaces) which Wireguard uses: https://www.wireguard.com/netns/

    Afaik it should work if you move Wireguard to it’s own namespace and than start qBittorrent with the new namespace (should even be doable without firejail).

    @imetators @lemmy.dbzer0.com sorry for chasing you down that rabbit-hole, it sounded easier in my head
