  • Adobe has a huge presence in the creative industry. Lots of professionals (read majority) can’t use a FOSS graphics suite because Adobe is an industry standard. And Adobe cannot run on anything except Windows because (I forgot the exact article) certain portions of Adobe are highly entangled with Windows, and porting it to Linux makes no financial sense.

    Before others talk about the alternatives, Adobe still has huge inertia. It will be years before they are dethroned, assuming they continue to fuckup.


  • Thanks!

    I have a feeling that Asus can have like QC issues, unlike Dell. I have heard of bad and good stories about Asus. One good thing is they offer H/W at significantly cheaper rates which makes it very lucrative for the lower segment of the market. Also, Linux support on my Ally and my Asus laptop has been great.

    PS: I am not a Asus fanboy. In fact I might buy a Macbook next time.










  • Are you sure L2 is 192.168.1.0/24 and not something larger that includes 192.168.30.0, e.g.: 192.168.0.0/16?

    Bro/Mam/Sir! Bravo!

    You absolutely fixed it in one line. My friend stupidly set the netmask as /16 even though he doesn’t need such a large IP pool. I changed it and now WG is working.

    There is only one issue remaining, that is my local DNS queries are not being answered on my laptop (On phone + WG, it’s working). But it’s working when I direct my dig queries.

    dig server.lan = not working

    dig @dns.lan server.lan = working

    But ping dns.lan is working. I suspect my DNS IP has not properly percolated to my laptop.

    Thanks a lot!!


  • I’m terribly sorry. I have fixed the case numbers with the item numbers.

    I suspect at least part of the problem is that Android does not tunnel hotspot client traffic.

    On android, it works fine in all scenarios. The Linux laptop is causing issues. I checked another case (Case 5). If the client is Windows, everything works fine. I’ll try to replicate this on another linux machine and check.

    WG running on the Firestick

    I had to search a lot but I found a client which works on the first gen Firestick. Check https://airvpn.org/. They still release a compatible WG client on the ancient android/Amazon device.
