Access *BSD Hyper-V guests from your host via ssh:

1) Enable and start the ssh-agent service on your host by running the following in Powershell, as Administrator:

Set-Service -Name "ssh-agent" -StartupType Automatic
Start-Service -Name "ssh-agent"

2) Generate ssh keys on your host, as your regular user:

ssh-keygen

3) Add the following to .ssh/config on your host, as your regular user:

Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

Host beastie
HostName 172.22.168.238

Adjust HostName to guest IP (run 'ifconfig')

4) Connect via ssh from your host to your *BSD guest with:

ssh beastie

Installed 7.8 on an old 2x4 Xeon machine with a Radeon Nautilus GPU and KDE plasma. No sweat! The iwx0 wifi got an ac connection and managed approx 200Mbps down and 100Mbps up! Why did the Yubikey OTP stop working!? Why Theo! Why! Good grief I’m still in mourning, not even at the acceptance phase even…. #OpenBSD #YubiKey #RunBSD #RuinBSD #Frustration

For my parallel OpenBSD universe project I am in the process of repurposing a 2013 era Macbook Pro as 'openbsd server'.

The full disk install of OpenBSD 7.8 would not boot, so I want to go the oldskool 'Refind' route which requires a MacOS install.

I was totally impressed to find that Internet Recovery of MacOS still works for a 2013 machine in 2025. Nice.

We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!

While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD (or even #smolbsd) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.

We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.

During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)

But removal of #Yubikey OTP functionality in the upcoming 7.8 was real a shit.

It's a paradox that I have to remove #OpenBSD from our list of approved operating systems due to this, while working in the infosec business. #RunBSD #UNIX
