  • If they are on the same subnet, why are they going via the router? Surely the NIC/OS will know it’s a local address within its subnet, and will send it directly; as opposed to not knowing where to send the packet, so letting the router deal with it.

    I’m assuming you are using a standard 24 bit subnet mask, because you haven’t provided anything that indicates otherwise and the issue you present would be indicative of a local link being used - this possible



  • I’m sure this is a meme, but the trust is proving the OS is not tampered with.
    Like, if malware was able to inject a malicious windows update URL into the OS, and inject a malicious certificate that gets the OS to trust the malicious updates by the malicious URL.
    The signature of the OS would then differ from what the TPM/CPU recorded during OS boot and what the TPM/CPU has hashed during running. This would indicate that the OS has been tampered with.
    So the trust in TPM is that the TPM and CPU are working together correctly (which is certified during manufacturing), so that the TPM can then attest that the OS (or software or whatever) hasn’t been tampered with.

    So yeh, it’s MS (or whatever software company) trusting that the software it is interacting with is running as it is intended



  • So, is public accessibility actually required?
    Does it need to be exposed to the public internet?

    Why not use wireguard (or another VPN)? Even easier is tailscale.
    If you are hand selecting users (IE, doesn’t actually need to be publicly accessible), then VPN is the most secure and just run a reverse proxy for ease & certs.
    Or set up client certificate authentication, so only users that install a certificate issued by you can connect to the service (dunno how that works for 3rd party apps to immich)

    Like I asked, what is your actual threat model?
    What are your requirements?
    Is public accessibility actually required?
