I don’t have a Dream Machine nor a 192.168.0.0/16 network but my access point receives an IP via DHCP from a non-Ubiquiti router just fine. In fact, the controller running in Docker doesn’t even come up itself after a power failure so I’m really lost on what you’re talking about here.
I use (paid) Apple News, and I really enjoy it. Are there no other “pay once” platforms out there?
My only complaint is that some articles still show ads despite being subscribed, but that’s taken care of with DNS-based ad blocking (though you have to also block a a hostname pointing to an Apple DoH server which I find funny).
Those websites (and tons of others) will tell you who your ISP appears to be. Whether or not a service considers it a datacenter isn’t set in stone, but usually it’s easy to tell based on what’s shown there.
Edit: If you’re getting the captchas it’s probably because you appear to be on a VPN.
Are you familiar with web development by chance? Can you see anything in your browser’s developer tools like failed XHR/fetch requests? I’m kind of wondering if they’re doing something specific since you said traffic is flowing as expected on other websites.
If your VPN exits from a datacenter (common with VPN and cloud providers) it could be that while their website wasn’t smart enough to block you, the server the content streams from is and is refusing to stream the content. This would probably show up as a failure in the developer tools (HTTP 401 Unauthorized, some JSON with an error, etc).
As they should.
Oh wow, I didn’t notice.
What does Wireshark or tcpdump show on any relevant interfaces?
This whole debate is so tired. Just use IPv6, it’s 2024 and it’s so fucking easy these days.
To me it sounds like they want to host a store on Tor or i2p considering it’s typically recommended to disable JavaScript while browsing those networks due to security concerns.
I really love what Ubiquiti is trying to do, but I understand where you’re coming from. I ditched the EdgeRouter X because I just couldn’t do anything really advanced with it.
