  • [ 👤 rotanid] an E-Mail will be send with the proposal to enable 2FA

• [ 👤 tomh] Future of Tunneldigger

  • Are there any Advantages over fastd with null@l2tp?
    • not that the people present are aware
  • There were two quite significant issues with tunneldigger in v2023.1. Seems like nobody tests it?
    • core features of Gluon should be kinda tested and maintained
  • Migration for existing installations might not be easy, idk?
  • But maybe at least mark it as deprecated in favour of fastd with null@l2tp?

  => deprecate it with v2023.2 in docs+Release Notes and recomend fastd with null@l2tp as the stable alternative with IPv6 Support
  => remove it from the gluon core with v2024.1
  => community-packages, but that also needs someone willing to maintain it
