The setting… I recently started adopting WireGuard VPN into more and more of my server infrastructure. Consequently, I was wondering if the Linux-based JetKVM could also be integrated into these networks - especially useful since I do not want to use their cloud solution, but still want to deploy these onto remote locations as needed. So, getting WireGuard to run there was both harder and easier than expected - here is a write-up on how to do it.
What was going on? Recently, I had once again the unique opportunity to flash a “Fritz!Box 6490 KDG Edition” with the guarantee of no consequences in case I completely brick it. This time, because I needed the DECT functionality still working after this operation, I chose to stay on the proprietary firmware by AVM. 🤷♂️ So, here is my battle plan: Get the stock firmware for the device from its vendors download-server with its recovery-tool in case it goes really wrong.
Well, that happened… …just a word of warning: Be careful on the internet! I was randomly contacted by some dude on Steam late at night, stating that he wanted me to connect with his buddy - fine, right? While he did not identify himself properly, I shrugged it off, as he just wanted to hook me up with his friend quickly. I was like “Sure, why not?”, let’s give it a shot.
