Ok. Found some DNS settings on my router, and fixed the internal domain name “problem” but it’s still only internal. If I set my public IP(internally) it doesn’t connect.

I can connect to an internal computer from external, even though the client says “not ready”.

I cannot connect from internal to external computer. Instantly shows “remote desktop is offline”

This leads me to think that somehow I have something wrong in router settings, or I have a security feature blocking something. I just don’t know enough about routing to know where to look.

I got past the key mismatch internally. Maybe it was blank spaces.idk.

But still having issues externally. Just doesn’t connect for some reason, though I’ve confirmed all the ports are open. :/

It seems I may have “fixed”(?) One problem, as internal network connections succeed now (same key, same settings, just restarted the containers a few times and let it sit?)

External connections still show the same. :/

Not to mention mugs with crowdstrike branding on them, but only for 1/3 the invited people.

Second note, the metal pipe has to be continuously metal from at minimum where it enters the house, don’t trust that if you see a metal water pipe (or drain pipe) that it’s grounded.

Home assistant, and frigate. Along with whatever type of smart lock you choose (even building one with esphome, diy version)

Sounds like a market niche, you could start it up, call it something like “macrosoft”. … then start making scripts that do the work for the user, don’t release the scripts because people pay for them. Let this go on for many years and you find yourself shoving “AI” down your users throats and screenshotting their desktop without explicit permission…
