DODSORNET is a tailscale network which took over from the previous tinc network.

Originally created in an effort to play 0 A.D but has later been repurposed and is the only way to reach certain services. It also provides authentication for some services.

* You can freely access your own devices as if you were on the same local network. By default, other people cannot connect to your devices.

• If you want to expose a service to the network just ask Dandellion to add a rule allowing it.
• You can also make a whole server accessible by adding a tag to it.
• If you want to make sure no one can ever access a device (even if I were to add a rule allowing it). Enable “Shields up”. See Tailscale docs for more info

* Most dodsorfas services will automatically pick up and use the VPN if available

• That means no one on your network can see what service you are using, just the VPN connection

* While using the VPN you will be automatically logged into some services.

• Calendars and Contact sync*

* Some services are only available through the VPN

• Hydrus (the image board servers)
• Jellyfin
• Image Backup (Immich)
• Backup (Restic)
• The modded minecraft server

The steps are a little different based on what platform you are setting it up for.

Generally you can find the required program on https://tailscale.com/download (Also available on F-Droid/The Google Play Store)

* If you are on windows, follow the steps on https://vpn.dodsorf.as/windows

• This has had some issues sometimes, if you can't get it to work its ok to ask for help.
• There are also some troubleshooting steps available at https://headscale.net/0.23.0/usage/connect/windows/

* On Android, simply download and open the app, tap settings, then click `Accounts`, then press the three dots (a kebab menu, as it is called), then hit `Use an alternate server`. Type in https://vpn.dodsorf.as * If you are on an apple device (iOS/MacOS/tvOS) follow the instructions on https://vpn.dodsorf.as/apple

After this is complete, you will get a web pop up to our single sign on solution. Here you will log in using your SSO username and password. See SSO for info if you don’t have an account here.

After you login, you will have access to the VPN!
