  • It doesn’t really matter how you setup dynamic DNS and SSL. I prefer to handle dynamic DNS on the router, incase it’s smart enough to refresh the IP after DHCP renews it. I do SSL on a seperate nginx instance, but I run a few other sites; it might be easier to configure it directly on home assistant, but I haven’t tried.

    If you want some extra security, I’d look into mTLS, as that establishes some cert based authentication at the TLS layer before HTTP, but it can be complicated to configure.








  • Well, your router is trying, but your ISP isn’t replying, so I’d say you don’t have IPv6 yet.

    I have had ISPs where if you send a bunch of DHCP solicits/discovers too quickly, then they stop replying. So maybe disable DHCPv6 for a few hours, and enable it while watching it on the packet sniffer, incase it sends a weird response.

    Also it shouldn’t make any difference, but in IPv6/ND change all to bridge; your router looks like it’s advertising itself as a default route to your ISP’s router, and that just seems wrong.


  • I see is coming from a couple of Amcrest cameras

    Oh yeah, that still seems to be from your LAN. On the Mikrotik set your WAN interface in the filters tab of the packet sniffer. Also if you haven’t already, your WAN shouldn’t be bridged with your LAN, since your router will route between them, a bridge is like a network switch.

    Basically I’d like to see the Router Solicitation on your WAN from your Router, and hope that your ISP responds back with a Router Advertisement; or a Solicit for DHCPv6, and the whole exchange.

    Also 2001:470:1f06:redacted looks like a Hurricane Electric IP.


  • It’s even weirder than just an NZ company too:

    While MetraWeather is the official supplier of lightning data to the BOM, it is a US weather company called AccuWeather that owns and maintains the Australian Lightning Network.

    Also I haven’t heard great things about those “relatively cheap” AS3935 sensors, and personally haven’t had much luck using one with ESP Home.
