Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • You checked if you have a DS-Lite contract? Those are very popular. Especially with O2, Vodafone and the fiber ISPs.
    The problem: You get only an IPv4 CG-NAT IP and a regular IPv6 IP. If your ISP (for example at work) did not configure an IPv6, you will not be able to connect (A and AAAA DNS records).
    I assume you set up the port forwarding in your Fritzbox (under Internet > Freigaben > Portfreigaben)?
    If it has the proper external port connected to your internal port it should connect.






  • You lost an arm. Remember to use the \ to escape the markdown ;)

    I don’t know much of smart cards and the whole hardware based authentication beyond knowing they exist at all so please take my questions for what they are.

    I was thinking the encryption on those cards are done with a private key and a writer/reader by the manufacturer (like HID). So if the NSA busts down the door and demands the key you could technically decrypt it.
    So if you generate your own private key that vector is obviously mitigated, assuming they are providing the tool with a non-reversible hashing process or a guide on how to generate the key so it wouldn’t aid in the brure forces decryption.

    Thank you for the info :)


  • I also use Firefox on Android with a fairly recent stock ROM phone. At best the whole process to pasting my password into the webform takes 5 seconds.
    If the vault is still within unlock period the auto-fill takes even less time (assuming the authentication URL regex is correct. It’s a bit annoying with subdomains)







  • How is it more inconventient and slower?
    The only reason should be that it needs to decrypt the vault upon login which (depending on the iterators of the encryption and the processing speed of the system) can take a second more. Until then it’s equal to a native integration.
    Upside: You are not locked to a browser anymore as (at least Bitwarden) is agnostic.
