by Joe 02 May '23

02 May '23

Hey NZNOG People, Hope you don’t mind me flicking this through to you folks, the NZNOG conference of 2023 was fantastic and I am hoping I can get some of that talent to come present at AUSNOG 2023. :) AusNOG 2023 will be held at the Sea World Conference Centre on the Gold Coast (Yes this is not a typo, it is not in Sydney or Melbourne this year) on the 7th & 8th of September, 2023. The Program (was Programme) Committee is seeking submissions from people wishing to present at the conference. Please note that AusNOG 2023 is a technical conference so presentations must be of a technical nature (i.e. no sales or marketing presentations). Preference will be given to presentations that result in actual operational outcomes. We plan on recording presentations for release after the event for those who are unable to attend, please don’t let that deter you from submitting, if your presentation can not be published let us know and we will ensure to not record it. For further information, details of important dates, or to make a submission please see the website at the URL https://www.ausnog.net/events/ausnog-2023 Lastly a big thank you to the PC committee; Jocelyn (Program Chair), Belynda, Mark and Phil. Joe

Apologies if you have received this through other channels. NZNOG 2023 was held in Rotorua in late March. Each year we produce a survey. This is very useful, for example it helps us to: - Give feedback to speakers - Get feedback ourselves around the conference in general, and programme - Plan future NZNOG conferences Please help us out by completing our survey, at the following URL: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FRP898D Even if you did not attend, please have a look - you can of course skip the sections about feedback for 2023, and provide feedback to help us plan future conferences. -- Nathan Ward for the NZNOG Trustees

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
