Re: BGP of TELUS is it safe now?
after 2 years, finally TELUS passed, here is the result: Your ISP (TELUS Communications, AS852) implements BGP safely. It correctly drops invalid prefixes.

WAN ip address could change anytime since TELUS is not giving static ip address for residential use, however having said that, based on my experienced with TELUS the time to change the DHCP WAN ip address seems very long, since it is seldom that I noticed that the WAN ip address of my network at home changes, unless a power failure did happen that the router shutdown for a period of time and when it is online again a different WAN ip address was assigned. "There have also been issues with my smart security issues and for some odd reason one of my wireless set top boxes is using 88% of my networks total data usage even though I only watch maybe 1hr a day on Netflix and unplug it from the wall when I wake up and only plug it back in when I got to bed late at night????" - This is definitely not coming from the outside of your home/network since it is coming from your own IPTV. By the way what is the brand/model that TELUS gave you?7.2KViews0likes0Comments- 5KViews0likes0Comments
Re: Using 2 routers and IP Address
DrPacman The only equipment that I use from telus fiber is their Nokia optical modem. I did not use any SFP since I am using the TELUS provided optical modem that provide the conversion from fiber signal to ethernet. Yes I have a gigabit switch after the optical modem and 2 pfsense router connected to the gigabit switch. As per description of yours, I would say that you are not using any optical modem?11KViews1like1CommentRe: Using 2 routers and IP Address
Good for you. I am actually using pfsense on both routers. I have 4 servers running in my basement for GSM communications and VPN's. Normally the smallest number of hosts an ISP can provide is 4 ip's but useable are only 2, since the other 2 ip's are for network and broadcast addresses.11KViews1like3Comments
