LOL Not really, but boy it has been a day. Started at 7:00 am and I finally resolved (?) the issue. In fact I've got through every last bit of my network, and at this point in the evening, I actually don't have a solid reason why the issue was present. Something in my VPN settings glitched, or something got triggered on pFsense and got hung up....something, something with Tailscale. It wasn't CLoudflare this time. LOL

You ever do so much to a problem that when you 'fix' it, you have no real idea what the fix truly was? You ever have a problem and find all the shit you cobbled together in the name of 'just get it running and back online'? I did, and decided that I would fix that shit too. It took all flippin' day.

You guys that do this for a living....I salute you! jebus crispies!

ETA: 8 bells and all's well today.

I hate, hate, hate when I fix something and I don't know why the fix worked (or what the fix even was...). I want my suffering to result in something learned so it doesn't happen again.

I want my suffering to result in something learned so it doesn’t happen again.

Soooo much this. I'm down to learn about technology any day of the week. But when I 'fix' something and I don't know what the 'fix' really was, it is a rush of mixed emotions. I am ecstatic relieved the problem is fixed, but left empty not having learned the 'why it broke' in the first place. And then I'm always fearful that the problem will gestate in my lab and rear it's ugly head again at some other inopportune time.

This. If I pay the cost in frustration and anguish and soul-searching and demanding justice from an uncaring god, I want something for it. I want documentation. I want my lessons learned from the post incident review. I want something I can hack into mgmtConfig to make sure nothing else will do that too.

Struggling for no payoff is the absolute worst thing.
