I am catching up on updates to our routers, along with some service VMs, and then will start making my way across the network updating everything else. Some services might appear offline momentarily as VMs reboot after each update.

Updates Completed On:
– Routers
— kc.mo.us.routed
— kc.mo.us.catos
— kc.mo.us.ikus
— kc.mo.us.nardoragon
— kc.mo.us.ipv6
– VMs
— Games-3P
— NS1
— NS2
— Web
— Mail
– Malware RPZ Zone
— Two updates back to back because some more malware domains showed up this morning in the logs. Rewrite all the things to NXDOMAIN….

Have an animation and get nommed!

We have been busy working on bringing Minecraft and Satisfactory to our services for people to hangout and play alongside one another- This task has been completed and seems to be stable, working pretty well with minimal lag or other problems. If you have issues with any of our game servers, please reach out to Riot, they are responsible for that portion of MFN. The NOC cannot help with the game servers.

We have updated our email policies again to go scorched earth on a certain provider as a whole, hopefully limiting both Adrian’s and the project’s exposure to some things that…aren’t good for her to be dealing with and that our volunteers do not need to deal with. If you have email service with us, you can request overrides for your account.

Our NOC fwoofs are slowly issuing WireGuard profiles to those who requested them. It will be a few days, but you will get your profiles by the end of next week at the latest. We are also raising our data usage limits to 800GB and traffic shaping to allow for up to 400Mbps shared networking until Jan 16th. It is Crimmus season and we know people have steam downloads to make.

DNS RPZ has been updated with more OpenNIC related domains being dropped to hopefully prevent us from being used for malware queries. This is currently a manual process that require log reviewal to keep an eye on whats going on, so it takes a bit to react as the landscape changes but we are making an effort.

We have been getting feedback from the folks who have been helping MFN/FurrIX continue onward. I am hearing what y’all have mentioned and have concerns with, we will be making some changes to how we govern our services and projects. This will be a slow and long road because I am on the road a lot this time of year and need to approve changes before they go live. But yes, the language behind a lot of our policies could be structured better and project goals could be better explained.

Thats the updates from our team, hope you fwoofs have a wonderful day.

We have been working in the background today to slowly roll out updates across our routing gear without causing too much noticeable down time for our end users. Our Core and Catos routers are now on the latest firmware and both have monitoring setup.

Hoping to get a throughput page put on the website tomorrow for all of our routing gear, if time permits such. Still have to update the other routers first, however.

You might notice over the next few days that our website sometimes encounters errors or does not seem to load right. Our team is in the process of installing Anubis in front of our web server and are having to learn to configure and use the software as we go.

We apologize for any issues this may cause.
