“Will not connect to the internet” is probably too vague to troubleshoot. Isolate exactly what part is failing. Is the device receiving an IP address? Are you able to ping anything on the local network? Are you able to ping a remote IP address? If you aren’t receiving an IP address, is DHCP running? Can you statically set your IP and ping out? Is there another switchport you can try on the router?

That’s the real problem. Crypto bros can take something genuinely interesting and kill it by association. IPNS is a really neat idea. Self-certifying name resolution over a DHT swarm would be fun to play around with, but if pushed by the bros isn’t going to get any adoption.

I’ve been using Tailscale for awhile now and had no idea Funnel existed. I’m sitting behind CG-NAT and that is the kind of solution I’ve been after for my media server. Thank you so much for the heads up.
