-[[Setup Guide]]+====== DODSORNET ====== 
 + 
 +DODSORNET is a [[https://tailscale.com//|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. 
 + 
 +===== Features ===== 
 + 
 +* 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 [[https://tailscale.com/kb/1072/client-preferences|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. 
 +  * [[infrastructure:caldav|Calendars and Contact sync*]] 
 +* Some services are only available through the VPN 
 +  * [[imageboard:start|Hydrus (the image board servers)]] 
 +  * [[infrastructure:media|Jellyfin]] 
 +  * [[infrastructure:immich|Image Backup (Immich)]] 
 +  * [[infrastructure:backup|Backup (Restic)]] 
 +  * The modded minecraft server 
 + 
 +===== Setup guide ===== 
 + 
 +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 [[infrastructure:sso|SSO]] for info if you don’t have an account here. 
 + 
 +After you login, you will have access to the VPN!
