Comment on OpenWrt & fail2ban
tal@lemmy.today 6 days agoYou would typically want to use static ip addresses for servers (because if you use DHCP the IP is gonna change sooner or later, and it’s gonna be a pain in the butt).
In this case, he controls the local DHCP server, which is gonna be running on the OpenWRT box, so he can set it to always assign whatever he wants to a given MAC.

Yeah, this is my preferred way of doing it. That way I always have a nice compiled list of IP addresses, and if I ever need to change any of them, I have them all in a single menu instead of needing to access each device individually.
