I tried setting this up, and I can connect to my honeserver, but I've no idea how to access its LAN services. How does it work?

My cybersecurity course uses Linux... in a VM. We boot into Windows 10, then start Kali in VMware and do everything inside of it. I still don't know why, I just bring my own laptop with NixOS and add whichever package we are using to my shell.nix for that course.

I did contact Wube, they said they can't take interns sadly :') Would be awesome to work with them.

I was going to read this post, but I saw an AI image.

Yeah, that's a possibility. I did fly the router all the way here but if I really can't use it I will go wired. Sadly I couldn't get WiVRn working on wired, and ALVR had really bad performance.

My router is an Archer C6 from TP-Link. I've never used OpenWrt, but I have used Linux on my laptop & server for many years. Is this worth looking into/possible without any prior networking knowledge?

The uni is not at fault here, the dorm is a separate entity that just happens to have a deal to keep some rooms for exchange students like me. The dorm is from iQ Student Accommodation (who told me I could bring a router), and the ISP they use is ASK4 (whose T&C you are seeing).

Switches are also explicitly banned as they allow bypassing the device limit.

And importantly, the email is from my dorm (whose contract simply said they provided free fast wifi), while these unexpected T&Cs are from the dorm's ISP.

While I see where you're coming from, I do need to clarify two things:

  • I use VR mainly for two things: Beat Saber, and sometimes C++ game development (my degree). I can't develop on-headset because of the limitations Facebook imposes, so I am stuck with streaming. I am taking my own path through these studies, for example I rewrote all the assignments and engines to CMake and then Linux which has allowed me to learn a whole lot more than if I simply followed the classes. I wish to mess with networking as another extension to my studies, as it's not covered at all and now is the time I have dedicated 100% to learning (vs later in life).
  • I didn't really choose this university: I chose to do an exchange program for a semester and this was the one option that matched my interests/degree. And the uni seems awesome so far (we haven't started courses though). The dorm is a separate entity from the uni, but they do have a deal to provide rooms for half a year for exchange students. So this dorm was my best option to avoid a yearlong contract.

Thanks. I do unfortunately need wifi to do wireless VR streaming... I guess I need to find a way to tune it to interfere the least, but this is a whole alien world to me.
