Updates about things relating to how our project advances and operates.

Updates

Our team voted to decommission our old website. So as of today, it is no longer reachable on our web server.

We also have been working to add server stats to our website and that seems to have went well and is live as of this post.

Also, various policies were updated to reflect us partnering with FurrIX. Give things a quick read over when you have time, project members. The biggest change is probably that we are going to no longer be offering in house VM hosting, as we just don’t have the resources to continue with that service offering. None of our other services are affected.

Partnership with FurrIX…

Marbled Fennec Networks has partnered with Furrix to continue bringing our project members and end users a network they can experiment on and learn from. For most project members and end users, nothing will change for you and the network will keep functioning as usual.

As of Aug 12th, 2024:

  • Marbled Fennec Networks will be the point of contact and will continue to operate as we always have. Connection activation, member and user support, network usage accounting, account servicing and finances will continue to be handled by the core group and face of the project. This team will most likely be comprised of two to four project members who carry the public facing brunt of the project.
  • FurrIX, the operating subgroup for furrix.zone will be in control of the upkeep and maintenance for all of our routers, core services and provisioning. This team will most likely be comprised of three to four project members who’s responsibility is just to ensure that we can route data from A to B without problems.

Things to make note of:

  • Marbled Fennec Networks is the point of contact for all account and support related inquiries. FurrIX does not have access to either our accounting or support systems.

More network changes!

Hey guys,
As some of your probably have pieced together by now, I (Skylar) took back one of my personal domains that MFN was borrowing for about a year. With the fully complete launch of FurrIX, fenfox.run has been pulled out of service from MFN/FurrIX’s routing stack and FurrIX now has their own domain under the name “furrix.zone” that was donated to Marbled Fennec Networks by Skylar W. and Ty Dwagon.

The project has also leased an additional /48 from NoPKT to give our project members and end users a choice of whether they want to use ‘2604:4300:f03’ or ‘2602:f992:f3’ as their subnet space when we connect them to our network. Only catch is that we cannot set PTR records for the /48 that we leased.

We also reconfigured our name servers after not fully understanding how to setup DNSSEC. Everything should now be working as intended on both server for both of our zones. We are also offering to allow project members to make use of our name servers for their own domains. You’ll need to provide our techs with a BIND ready file and they will handle the rest. At the moment, there is no GUI front end for the name servers.
