Can confirm, am poor bastard.

What VPS are you using?

You should be able to setup a firewall, blocking all access to the SSH port. Then setup a VPN so that only you can access via SSH after making your VPN connection.

If you connect via a static IP, you can also create an ACL for the VPN connection just in case. You can set an ACL for the SSH port forward rule directly as well, but I don’t like that personally. I prefer keeping things behind the VPN.

lol, this is fun

The guest VM requires TPM to install Windows 11.

It depends on your hypervisor platform. Some platforms can enable vTPM (emulated TPM) without host hardware support, like KVM with swtpm.

Hyper-V can do passthrough TPM or emulate vTPM but still require the host to have hardware TPM enabled to do so.

No, your guest VM still requires TPM enabled

That right there might beat Microsoft and Google name changes combined

Yes, that one too! smh

Their enterprise products as well. Azure is now Entra, all the admin page rebrandings like defender, purview, intune, the URL changes, etc.

Please just stick with a name already!!

Yeah and they didn’t perform the same tests on any iPhone model.

This is the way

Every time you speak it’s like an episode of Columbo

Very strange, but glad you worked it out!

I’ll keep this thread in mind if I ever run into something similar.

Well, dig is available also of course, but nearly all distros still include nslookup despite it getting deprecated. I like the simplicity of its interactive mode.

Host is also really great with more human-readable output.

Don’t get me wrong, when things are getting hairy, you’re going to make a lot of use of dig. I just find that most troubleshooting can be taken care of a lot simpler with host or nslookup.

nslookup is available on macOS and most Linux distros as well (and very helpful indeed).

Yeah if you can dig a record and received a response it’s not a routing issue.

But aren’t you on the same subnet as your DNS server? There’s no routing happening if you’re on the same subnet which I was assuming.

Even through dig defaults to outputting A records when no other options are specified, I would use the A option anyway just in case:

dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan A

If you use “ping study.lan” do you see it output the A record IP address in the first line of output?

Did you try using nslookup as I described?

Yeah MakeMKV is great. That should be top on any ripping software list.

How exactly are you testing this from your client, with ping? What are you using to query the DNS?

If you run nslookup from the client

• Does the ‘server’ command return the correct DNS server?
• Does <A-record>.lan return the expected record?

I’m assuming you’ve run ifconfig to verify your client’s NIC has been assigned the correct DNS via DHCP?

JFC, thank you. I didn’t realize until it was spelled out for me. I’m definitely not that kind of smart.

This is why I always sucked at games like Myst

Yeah, I use that feature all the time. It’s really great. I can upload an image of text data and get an output in table or summary format.
