Skinny Modems and RFC1918 DNS
by Simon Lyall 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

We are getting reports from a couple of people that some Skinny Modems are getting confused with some DNS records. It appears that if the IP returned from the lookup is a RFC 1918 one they won't return the result to the client. One modem in question has: Skinny Smart Modem VRV9517UWAC34-A-SP on it and I think VRV9517 is the model name. This appears to be a fairly recent problem, showing up since people came back from break. Not ruling out some other cause but direct testing of queries is doing the above. Possibly a recent software upgrade or "security" setting. Direct queries against the DNS servers themselves seem okay, it only breaks when you use the modem as the DNS server. Not confirmed for all of RFC1918 space, but definitly 192.168.1.x Anyone seen similar or know of a fix? (for now we are getting people to use 1.1.1.1 or similar for DNS). -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.simonlyall.com/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar

Well, there are already unintended consequences from the particular messing with the DNS at the edge that we are talking about, including the migration of users to centralised DNS services away from local ones, in fact: even people who like the idea of DNS as a control plane should dislike this. > Of course, the real problem is the vulnerable devices, but taking the approach that all of those just need to be fixed is accepting a lot of harm in the meantime. They still need to be fixed, though. What measures like this do is relieve the need for fixes and make them stay broken for longer. > These are one-shot band-aids that don't solve problems; they just obscure them. I realise I've long past the point of becoming a grumpy old man, but that doesn't make this kind of thing a good idea :-) Joe

(In-confidence) Hi NZNOG 2degrees (AS23655) would like to give notice to the community that we are leaving AKL-IX, WLG-IX, CHC-IX by the end of November 2022. We will be providing more exact dates for each IX closer to the time. This is part of a wider piece of work to consolidate our network, which will see the primary peering AS become AS9790 which will still be connected to each IX and present the same prefixes advertised by AS23655. If you currently have bi-lateral peering with AS23655 we encourage you to reach out and establish bi-lateral peering with AS9790 via peering(a)2degrees.nz<mailto:peering(a)2degrees.nz> We will be providing notice of further withdrawal of AS23655 as we progress with our consolidation programme.

NZNOG 2023 Announcement
by Richard Nelson 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

** *Hi all, * * The NZNOG Trust wishes to announce the NZNOG 2023 conference. We will host this on March 23rd and 24th, 2023, in Rotorua at the Rydges Hotel. As usual, the conference will be on Thursday and Friday, with tutorials available on Wednesday 22nd and a workshop from Monday to Wednesday. A dinner will be held on the Thursday night of the conference. More details on the conference will be posted to our website when available. Expect a call for papers and an announcement when registrations open. A discount code will be available for the hotel. From our negotiations with hotels it has become clear that due to the return of tourism, accommodation could be in short supply so we recommend booking early. We do have arrangements in place to allow postponement of the conference if the pandemic resurges but at this stage we do not anticipate that it will be necessary. We are seeking sponsors and will shortly finalise our sponsorship document for NZNOG 2023. For details contact sponsorship(a)nznog.org. www.nznog.org Richard Nelson On behalf of the NZNOG Trust *
