Except when you get there and don’t want to talk or do all the meeting and greeting until you know the server still works.

It let's me remote into their LAN, thus bypassing the firewall
Please forgive the ignorance here. What are you trying to do? I thought you were trying to reboot an offline server. I’m probably just confused!

Well, the original post (as in the image) is about locking yourself out of a remote server by changing a firewall rule, thus needing to drive to the server to access it locally.
By using wireguard to tunnel into the router, you can remotely enter the LAN, thus bypassing the firewall, as if you were accessing the server locally.

Do you mind explaining the details? I’m trying to learn as much as possible!
wrote last edited by [email protected]Most corporate network devices like Cisco will reset their config to the one written in memory when they lose power.
So in that case, just unplug and replug them to restore to previous config.
Just make sure you write your new config to memory or it will reset when there is ever a power failure.

I'll always be grateful for the firewalls like OpenWRT that will automatically revert any changes if you don't log back in after a few minutes (at least on the web interface). I'm not proud of how many times that's saved me.

So I connected through ssh back home to fiddle with the router settings, and in the PPPoE settings (where you set a pair of username and password that your router sends to the ISP such that the ISP knows you and knows what IP to assign to you) I made a typo, and apparently that instantly killed the internet connection at home and also for me. I had to call my mom to instruct her to fix the typo in the username. TBH I don't know that much about PPPoE either, I only do it so that the ISP assigns us the same IP address every time.
