Ram's Technology Notes
In the previous post, we covered an opinionated and simplified overview of IPv6 and some practical considerations/annoyances for deploying IPv6 in a home network. Specifically, I wanted to address these annoyances when deploying IPv6 in my network: Note that the rest of the details in this post are written for a Unifi gateway. Network Setup…

While IPv4 is still dominant in most home networks, understanding IPv6 is a good exercise for someone running their home lab as…
In the previous post we setup inbound and outbound SMS routing through a LAN Asterisk server using a voip.ms SIP trunk. In this post we will make use of this functionality to allow a Home Assistant instance in the LAN to send notifications via SMS. The nice thing about this setup is that critical notifications…
In this post, we will cover configuring a local Asterisk server to route Inbound and Outbound SMS using a voip.ms trunk. This will also cover routing inbound messages to all known clients at the time the message is received so having multiple clients (like Jami, Linphone) registered to your Asterisk server for the inbound extension…
One of my long-standing projects has been to have Asterisk running on my home network so my services have PSTN (and potentially SMS) access. In this post, I will cover the setup of Asterisk as a home lan pbx with voip.ms setup as the SIP trunk. VOIP Providers While there are many VOIP providers, I…
