I have a computer that stopped accessing the internet and I haven't been able to figure out the issue, so I went on another forum to ask for help. I was urged to post the results from command
After I realized what information I posted, I got nervous and deleted the question. Then I factory reset my router. I then put all my devices in my home network on a VPN. (I was already using a VPN on my computers, but not any other devices) I can spoof a MAC address on that computer no problem. Is there anything else I should do? It looks like factory resetting my router changed some of the numbers on my public IPv6 address but it did not change the private. Is there a way I can change that? Should I?
Also, I am curious, possible stupid question. If all the devices on my network are using a VPN, is my internet still discoverable and hackable? I'm thinking someone close by could pick up my wireless signal, but if they are far away, can they access it if all the devices are using a VPN?
Any help or advice anyone can give me, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
ip a && ip r
because I was told that's the most basic network diagnostic. So I posted it. Then I realized it contained my MAC address, my private IPv6 address and my public IPv6 address. And anything else that I haven't realized. Did I mess up? Do I need to be worried? What can someone do with that information? And if I should be worried, what should I do?After I realized what information I posted, I got nervous and deleted the question. Then I factory reset my router.
