Hey there!

I am a week or so in and still havent got it working.

I have a DSL contract with Vodafone, while the DSL lines are from Telekom.

Hardware

• Draytek 130 DSL Modem
• Turris MOX Wifi 6 router (openWRT-based)

Trying Bridge Mode

In the OpenWRT LUCI interface I setup a VLAN with Tag 7 on the but no success.

Here is a video of the setup process

I was able to connect at first but only got a "wrong credentials" website by Vodafone. So while a connection was there, it sended wrong credentials.

Assuming maybe the modem had old credentials configured, I reset it and enabled bridge-mode there.

I connected to the modems interface (needs setting a static IP and the docs are wrong!)

ip link show
#get name of ethernet connection

ip link set <NAME> down
ip addr flush dev <NAME>
ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 dev <NAME>
ip link set <DEV> up

xdg-open http://192.168.1.1/

I followed the docs and enabled bridge-mode, disabling PPPoE passthrough.

bridge mode

I did the same on bridge mode but got no connection at all. Also no error page, Vodafone told me I has 3 wrong loggins free (so I had one wrong login?)

I went into the modem and disabled bridge mode, using the default PPPoE-Passthrough.

Trying PPPoE passthrough

I went into the modems interface (which is incredibly strange to do) and changed it back to the normal PPPoE passthrough.

The modem then asked me for credentials, I entered the ones I got.

It shows the status as "ready" but WAN1 (I assume the main interface) is not online. A few stats from the modems console:

Resetting the MOX

I want to try to use the modern reForis interface, which doesnt react well if you change defaults in LUCI. So I am currently resetting the router.

Suggestions?

I am thinking about just getting a Vodafone router and putting mine behind that. Double-NAT I dont care, I dont have a server.

It would have just worked in that case 🫠

I may also want a newer modem but the market is not really good, they are often expensive and my 250mbit (download) contract, and the available contracts, dont even reach what that modern Zyxel modem could do.

Any experience? What did you do?

Sicher nichts neues, aber fand das Video sehr gut, und echt ekelhaft was der da abgezogen hat.

Ich hah Squid Game schon abstoßend gefunden, aber das ist halt real, in einem "freien Land" wo Menschen aus hunderten Gründen in Armut enden können

Egoismus und Manipulation werden durchgehend verherrlicht.

Ich fand vor allem berührend, als ein Mann gesagt hat "Geld macht mich nicht gesund, aber ich es gibt mir Zeit mit meinen Kindern, ich möchte meine Zeit nicht mehr eintauschen müssen"

I have reset the link. If you want to join, write me a private message :)

Some Lemmy clients have trouble finding communities, so here it is:

!linux@feddit.org

feddit.org/c/linux

Update: switch to Ironfox, the maintainer is legit and the app is now even on Accrescent.

The DivestOS developer Tavi has stopped his work on the project and all apps.

Thanks a lot for your great efforts! I have used Mull, Mulch, Carrion and Hypatia and they were all great.

Now we are looking for a future of the Mull browser, while the other software projects are also important for sure.
