Seems like ZeroTier really took over the work that Pertino was doing. Not directly, but in a sense.

This information is very out of date concerning Pertino itself. But the theory on how this works remains relevant.

IMO, you should put the 'old post' notice at the top of these.

One wrinkle you should be aware of (this needs to be fixed in our web UI!) -- if you change the ZT-managed range from /24 to /23 or /22 you will also need to change it on all the devices. We should add a feature to renumber automatically since right now it's tedious.

@IRJ said in NOTICE: Changes pending for Pertino Web Console:

Sounds like the free option may be going away.

It's gone off their website and has been gone for ages. Along with most of the original team.

Grandfathered users might still have it.

I think they pulled IPv6 support awhile back. All my Pertino devices are IPv4. Also, note that I have problems with builds 520+ when installing it on Windows DCs/DNS servers. The DNS records do not dynamically update when Pertino is installed. 510 works OK, though. I have a custom 529 build that support gave me that is basically 510 but enables some more verbose logging so they can find out what is going on.

This is an old article from 2013 being reposted because @scottalanmiller stopped maintaining the original.

@scottalanmiller I was planning on it

@hubtechagain has a thread about it. He's pretty impacted (by the outage, not from his fiber intake.) Pertino responded that they are aware and are working on it.

can you merge threads now? would be nice.

I just checked. No merge feature yet 😞

I haven't but I haven't had a reason to use Pertino for a bit.

Yup, got those email notices yesterday. Thankfully, I should only have a few random desktop shortcuts to correct.

Here is the info on how to do it. Just Google it and it brings you to MangoLassi 🙂

Pertino themselves use this info to help customers. ML had it documented first. Pertino saw the reports that NTG had it working, asked us how to do it, we pointed them to the ML docs and voila...

I have 3 ZeroTier networks set up. It works great. They do have a bridging function, but it might only be for the Windows client as I turned it on with a Linux machine, but it didn't do anything. If you are using a Linux box, you can just set up the static routes like normal and use it as a bridge that way.
@dafyre set up a php script and bash script for hosting your own controller. They both work really well.

Yeah, I saw that. That's awesome! I'm hoping that's a sign they're getting bigger clients. I talked to @CraigElliott recently and they had something like 10TB or so of network traffic in one month on the Pertino networks...pretty awesome!

Yes, so lots of Ubuntu users will be impacted in the next two days.

It does? Everytime I've looked in the last few years, it had been removed.

I was going to check again to confirm, but it looks like you cannot even see anything without signing up for a logmein account. Screw that.

@thecreativeone91

Going through pertino changes my hostname (like on pertino's website) to (random example)
g8d64jfs.pertino.net
So just wanted to confirm cause my connection isnt going through

Your domain can never be pertino.net. Your domain has to remain your domain. You need to change your DNS (your, not Pertino's) to reflect the Pertino IPs of your hosts.

With so many services starting up, there is a lot of chances for things to have not all fired up yet.

Right on - but from what I understand, and from what I have downloaded, this is a linux machine, and it ties into the Windows Server, somehow... not sure, still studying..

The easiest way to do it would be to mount the windows share on the ownCloud box and make that the repository.

Having not tried to integratge AD let alone pass permissions, I have no idea how well this would work.

Pertino does now have the iOS app and would simply pass AD auth.

The Pertino Android app was broken with ICS or KitKat (I forget which). I have not tested if they fixed it yet with the new 420 release. The other problem with Android is apparently some changes in what 3rd party apps are allowed to write to. As long as you are pulling it down live you would be fine, but there seemed to be new security issues with writing to SD.

@JaredBusch Correct. This has been the one downside for AD Connect if you have users that frequent the office. Traffic is forced across the Pertino interface. 430 will allow you to designate "zones" where devices use local routes instead.

@thanksajdotcom Client updates are automatic, however they do not necessarily get pushed at the same time as releases. The Windows update should go out very soon. In the past, we required manual updates.

Oh believe me, I remember...
