Any advice for setting up a PiHole to block ads? Got Ublock on phone/computer, but can't do that for the console that we run media / big screen YouTube through.

Oh man I wish, I know nothing about setting up Pihole.

The server and everything on it is my qpp's domain.

From conversing with her, it was not a difficult project. She installed the program and followed the documentation for it to a tee and it does indeed work pretty well. Won't catch absolutely everything but majorly cuts down on it.

I'm hoping to put together a resource at some point about the basics of making and running small servers at home - I'm in the process of putting my own together to learn. I'm hoping then I'll have more I can offer on the subject.

Cox home network facts

Just called Tier 2 tech support for Cox looking to unblock some ports. Namely, port 80, for web servers. Turns out that's not going to happen.

The following ports are blocked for inbound traffic:

80

25

135-139

143

445

1433-1434

1900

(For a total of 13 ports that will never respond.)

The tech support on call seemed to imply that outbound traffic on port 25 is blocked as well.

Also, static IPs for residental networks are never, ever going to happen.

Unblocking those ports? Nope, never. No if, ands, or buts about it. This is entirely due to malware using those ports to either open an outgoing RAT/C&C connection, or breach the network via exploits on software commonly run on those ports (looking at you, intrepid Microsoft Server user who doesn't know how to secure it).

But notably, the default port for HTTPS (443) isn't blocked, and I specifically asked about it. Totally go for it, it's fine. Of course, if you start hosting malware and generally causing trouble for the neighboorhood, that's no bueno and is grounds for account termination. "No internet for you!" (The whole neighboorhood can be affected because your bandwidth is shared up to the cable node.)

Tips to Forward Ports In your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS LAMP Server

This how-to is a wrapper for the fantastic portforwarding help site www.portforward.com To support, and make it very easy for, those who want to set up a home server on an ubuntu 12.04 LTS server running LAMP

I will assume you have installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS with LAMP and are trying to setup a webserver and need to do a port forward for port 80. Perhaps you followed the great how to for LAMP on ubuntu 12.04 at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/step-by-step-ubuntu-12-04-precise-lamp-server-setup.html.

While we’re at it we’ll choose a setup to do port 443 as well so we could potentially host websites on https later. Once you’ve gone through the process you can repeat it for any ports you may require as defined by the service you are trying to serve to the internet.

First determine your home servers IP address and host name. In a terminal type

ifconfig

Now you should see a line in the eth0 or eth1 section starting with “inet” eg

inet addr:192.168.1.91 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Note down the number after addr: – eg “192.168.1.91″   This is the <IP address> of your ubuntu server. You may need it later during the port forward process. (NB: NOT the one after BCAST or MASK and not one beginning with 127)

Now we will get the host name. In a terminal type

hostname

Note down the result – it’s the <server host name> of your server. You may need this rather than the IP address during the port forward process.

In a browser go to http://portforward.com

Click “free guides”

Select your modem/router brand

Click to “close” the ad for PFConfig

Select your model of modem/router

Select “Apache” to set up the ports for your web server. FYI the A in “LAMP” stands for “Apache”.

Now follow the instructions, hopefully you can get through them and open the ports to your ubuntu home server. You shouldn’t need to use the software they offer and you can test if you were successfull by attempting to visit your own website using a browser. eg

http://www.mypersonalnoipaccount.biz

If you have successfully installed an Ubuntu server LAMP stack and have successfully pointed your port forward to it then you should see an “IT WORKS” page. If not you can see which of your ports are open by visiting http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/ and clicking “check ports” under servers. It will take a while and at the end you should see a green line indicating port 80 is open

You can also see if your Ubuntu server is ready to accept connections on any port by going to the terminal and typing

netstat -an| grep 0.0.0.0|grep LISTEN|grep :

The number after the red colon is the port the server is waiting for connections on.

Good luck, I hope you enjoy hosting your own server from home.
