Subject: [PATCH] T701: LTE interface dosen't come up

I could see that T656 was already created, as a result of https://forum.vyos.io/t/inconsistency-in-wirelessmodem-wlm-interface-behavior-could-be-bug/1492.

dropping this

Algo VPN, the premier personal IPSEC VPN distro is now preparing to bake in wireguard. Admittedly their distro is intended for disposable VPN VM's but they seem to think wireguard is is close to production ready. It seems they are moving to wireguard for android client connections.

Q82 Wireguard?

I am very interested in this, has any work been done?

I like the way it works now, but honestly as long as I can get to both the CLI and the OS shell somehow (with a command), I don't really care which is the default.

Thanks for discussion, marking this as wontfix.

You're spot on and I realize how naive my original request was. Pi-Hole isn't something that should be running on an edge device.

Sorry for the unsolicited feedback, but... BUT... ;-) Honestly, I think the way the Pi-Hole stack is put together does not lend itself well to a firmware-like platform like VyOS. In fact, personally I can't even suggest it for anything more than home use. Frankly, it's a bit cludgy on the back-end. Further, it increases the potential attack surface of your router, which is in general bad security practice. IMO the best course, even if by some twist of fate Pi-Hole WAS integrated into VyOS, would be to run Pi-Hole as a separate service. DNS is one of those things that's easy to run alongside routers; there's no compelling reason I can think of to run it ON the router. Buy a $35 Pi, run a tiny VM on existing hardware, etc. and serve that DNS server to DHCP clients via VyOS. That's my $0.02, adjusted for inflation.

trivial patch

Any updates to this?

First logging into a normal OS shell probably would help with third party tools (like ZeroTier and JumpCloud that I requested as features).

This did the trick. Just build a fresh ISO:

This seems to have done the trick thanks.

@UnicronNL maybe this will fix this issue:

Our nightly builds ships wpasupplicant 2.3-1+deb8u4, according to https://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3999 it's fixed in 2.3-1+deb8u5.

I have not approached any of the Pi Hole team yet, but I do appreciate the realistic feedback.
