Wg-quick warns that unwind may leak DNS queries

2022-09-14 Thread Michael
Hello,

I was hoping to get some clarification on a warning I noticed today 
after running wg-quick (part of wireguard-tools) to connect to a 
commercial VPN provider. I run OpenBSD 7.1, with all the patches 
installed.

The notice was:

"[!] WARNING: unwind will leak DNS queries"

I was not able to find any discussion of this on the internet. My 
purpose in using unwind is to reduce the need for third-party DNS 
queries (primarily for privacy). Is wg-quick saying that unwind may leak 
the queries to the VPN provider? If that is the case I am not concerned.  
The VPN provider has a connection check that says "No DNS leaks". 

What I would want to know is if my DNS queries are visible to 
my ISP. I thought that they are not, with unwind + VPN, but this warning 
causes some doubt.

Any advice on how to clear this up would be appreciated.

Michael

... I added support for OpenBSD's ksh to the port in -current

Not a stupid question, this mc feature ("subshell") is implemented
in a bit of a complex way.

mc only supports it with certain shells: bash, zsh, tcsh, fish, dash
(and ash, but that's not available on openbsd)

Also there is a default terminal mapping on the ^O key which you may
need to override with "stty discard undef"

I'll see if I can get it to work for ksh, but for now if you use one
of the supported shells, it should work.

Re: A minimal browser in base

2022-09-14 Thread Marc Espie
We used to have lynx in the base system.

It was removed because of security concerns and no-one willing to 
audit/replace it.

This is a fairly common pattern in OpenBSD. Considering the complexity of
the web, I don't see this ending any differently with any other text 
browser.



Issue with FDE and bootblocks on 7.2 snapshots ?

2022-09-14 Thread Joel Carnat
Hi,

I’ve been trying to install my T460s from scratch (using FDE with UEFI boot and 
gpt disk configuration) using the 2022-09-13 snapshot. At the end of 
installation process, I keep getting « Failed to install bootblocks ».

I tried a several times. Also tried a non-FDE installation (using UEFI gpt) and 
it also failed.

I’ve just run the FDE installation using install71.img and everything went ok. 
Then I « sysupgrade -s » and everything went ok too.

Just saying in case it is a bug in install72.img.

Regards,
Joel
