Re: [44net] bgp router setup

I would not build a Debian image. It will never be updated and will lead to security issues. A good walkthrough with all the commands and some scripts or demo config files is a far better option and a good firewall setting walk-through is also a big plus. There is a really good Vultr blog post on how to configure your VPS for BGP. The only thing it has not is the VPN config. Extra tip: ditch Bind, use PowerDNS. It is more secure and still very easy to configure. 73 Ruben ON3RVH -----Original Message----- From: 44Net <44net-bounces+on3rvh=on3rvh.be(a)mailman.ampr.org> On Behalf Of Af6ep via 44Net Sent: Monday, May 17, 2021 23:53 To: 44Net general discussion <44net(a)mailman.ampr.org> Cc: eric.fort.listmail(a)fortconsulting.org Subject: Re: [44net] bgp router setup Perfect, thanks!...... Actually it's this one I was looking for: https://youtu.be/OxsmGaFZ2MM?t=1500 but only because I've now adjusted the start time to cut out / skip over the issue of WHAT 44NET is, and WHY you may want to do this so as to get direct to the lesson on actually doing. I'm doing this on Vultr and debian so it will be a bit different...... but not by much..... It is my hope that when I'm done I'll have a debian image one can simply ask for, use cookbook directions to modify the appropriate files, and be quickly up and running. I'll also include directions to build the most current image starting with a bare bones install of debian current or testing. (my version of building the image should go something like bring up the debian vps, apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install bird2 bird2-doc openvpn bind9 bind9-doc ufw resolvconf dnsutils....... that way this one vps can act to route the one or more bgp subnets to their subsubnet locations via vpn and act as a stealth primary forward and reverse nameserver for the ip space it handles.) Mail, net-news, and https et al can have their own servers wherever on your network.
