A Furry virtual Internet Exchange
Providing IPv6 tunneling, routing and site-to-site connectivity for homelabs
and related users. Packet transit for free, from fellow furry IT hobbyist!
A subproject sponsored by Marbled Fennec Networks
We provide IPv6 connectivity to approved project members and end users over the WireGuard protocol for use on devices such as Mobile devices, SBCs and servers. Project members and end users who are approved for connectivity can get access to a /128, /126 or /64 on link. Direct connect users share a max throughput of 350Mbps at any given time on our routers.
Our project's goal is to roll out IPv6 to homelabs where upstream connectivity is limited, poorly configured or non-existent. Project members or end users who reach out to our support desk can apply for /127 interconnect with their choice of a routed /64 or /60. For complex setups, our team can split routed allocations across two endpoints. We also offer subdomains from '*.members.furrix.zone' and the setting of PTR records for making connectivity easier. Our address space is public, meaning the addresses can be reached from the internet to make it possible to host websites, apps and other services over IPv6. Routed allocation users share a max throughput of 350Mbps at any given time on our routers.
Our routers have up to 100Mbps of bandwidth set aside for handling site-to-site connectivity for cases where two endpoints of another project may not reach each other well directly, but both endpoints can reach us fairly well. For this use case, we offer IPv4 /29s internally for tunneling your traffic from one endpoint to another through our network. Bandwidth is limited up to 100Mbps. Monthly transfer is capped at 500GB per project member or end user. The bandwidth on our routers is shared between all connected endpoints and throughput will vary throughout the day.
FurrIX currently operates two name servers that offer OpenNIC and ICANN compatibility. Our name servers are setup to serve our domains but are also open for our project members to make use of for their domains as well. If you can provide a BIND compatible zone and config file, our team can serve your domain.
NOTE: Our name servers are rate limited and have a shared bandwidth limit of 50Mbps. Service is offered on ports 53, 443, 853, 5353 and 9001 over the TCP and UDP protocols.
Server can be access over DoH using 'dns.marbledfennec.net' or directly through their respective IPs.
FurrIX is a subproject of Marbled Fennec Networks. If you are interested becoming a project member or end user, you should head over to the main website and give our policies and FAQ a read over. If everything checks your boxes, feel free to reach out to our support desk and see where things go from there!
All network usage, VM hosting and project interaction be it through FurrIX or Marbled Fennec Networks is governed by the policies set on the main website. Service request, account changes, inquiries and abuse reports cannot be processed here on the furrix.zone webpage. This page is only for providing an overview of the network component of Marbled Fennec Networks.
This routing stack domain serves as the back bone for all services and hosting provided by the parent project. Both FurrIX and Marbled Fennec Networks are operated by volunteer techs in their spare time and is a hobby that they do for fun, without any pecuniary interest. Neither project operates under guarantee of any set Service Level Agreement or targetted uptime. All services are provided "as is" and are to be understood as being used at one's own risk. No portion either project, the network they operate or the services they provide is said to be fit for any purpose, what so ever.
Our project maintains two /48 IPv6 allocations hosted from Kansas City MO and has setup routing across several virtual routers to provide service to our project members and end users. Users can choose either our [2604:4300:f03::] or [2602:f992:f3::] network upon getting connected. Both networks run on the same equipment and only differ in prefix.
Our network is built upon the Debian OS with ProxMox running on top to provide a fully virtualized environment for hosting our routers and services, along with nightly backup images to a secondary. We operate five OPNsense powered router VMs, of which three are end user facing, within our network.
Our network is serviced by a 1Gbps ethernet connection on our physical server. Our two shared routers are setup with QoS for the sharing of up to 350Mbps download and 175Mbps upload speeds per router between project members and end users. Our game services router is QoS'd for up to 250Mbps total throughput. While we have 1Gbps at the port, we do our best to share it amongst our project members in a way that everyone has the bandwidth they need for their projects.
FurrIX has setup LibreNMS and uptime-kuma to provide 24/7 monitoring with alerts for all parts of our network from the routers to our website. If anything fails, email and discord alerts are fired off to our team!
In addition to our monitoring, we have a status page that anyone may checkout over at https://status.marbledfennec.net/
Our status page provides uptime tracking for the past fourteen hours for all of our in house gear, such as routers and servers.
All of our routing gear uses our own self hosted name servers which are OpenNIC compatible and usable by the public. Name servers can be found at 'ns1.marbledfennec.net' and ns2.marbledfennec.net'. Both servers are rate and bandwidth limited to help prevent abuse.
Our name servers provide standard DNS and reverse zones for our networks, as well as DNS over HTTPS and TLS. For DoH, provider URL is https://multi.dns.marbledfennec.net/dns-query
If you have any questions or there is an issue that has occured, our support desk is just a few clicks away and usually responds within a day of receiving your ticket!
Our project prides itself on being the work of a handful of hobbyist scattered across the US and Canada! We do not charge for our services and do our best to provide a decent network for our fellow hobbyist!
If our project seems interesting to you and you think that our services may help your project, feel free to reach out to us and let us know. One of our volunteers will be happy to chat and see how we could assist you!
Please keep in mind that FurrIX is a part time, volunteer run project. Responses to emails and tickets may take up to three days. Do not send multiple emails or tickets, someone has most likely read your original ticket and has forwarded it to the volunteer that handles that part of the project. Our volunteers have daily lives and as such, responses are typically slower during the day than they are during the evenings and on weekends. Emails and tickets are prioritized by impact severity and nature of the issue at hand. Please be respectful and understanding in your conversations with our support team, as abrasiveness will not be tolerated.
