Whistles and looks away

UFW is a software firewall. SSH is a way to remote into computers. The joke is they turned on UFW and got locked out of the machine.

I’m pretty sure it was a joke.

Everyone did this at some point, but nobody would admit such a silly thing happened to them.

Never done this to a single server.

Managed to write the “ufw enable, deny all” part of ansislbe script without the “allow 22” part and run it against all my homelab once.

Hehe. I was joking there.

Have done it randomly on my backup raspi 3 so many times 🤣

I accidentally put all the interfaces on my router running openwrt into the wrong firewall zone so now I can’t access it via ssh or the web interface. I already had it configured though and it still works so I’m just ignoring the problem until something breaks

I did the same thing, set up OpenWRT perfectly, then changed the local range from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.0.0 to suit some legacy connections. Everything works, except I can’t change settings on the router, so for now I leave it alone

There is nothing more perminant than a temporary solution.

It’s super secure though, not even you have access!

Maybe you can put aside a day which has nothing else going on so you can sit down and fix it before it breaks.

Sounds like my Unifi experience with the old CloudKeys that liked to brick themselves if the wind blew in a way they disliked. Everything still ran fine, but I couldn’t manage any of it till I factory reset it all. I think it ran like that for 3mo before I could be bothered 😅

I know I forgot to reactivate my firewall yesterday, but I’m too scared of getting locked in to do it remotely. I have physical access to it, but gotta wait after work

Yeah, that’s my philosophy. Don’t mess with it unless I can get my ass in there and fix it in case it goes south.

But then that thing is going to be the single only thing I can think about and it keeps disrupting me from everything else, so I decide to risk it.
