What are Nebula Links? Simple Tips for Better SEO!

Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with something called “nebula links.” I’d heard about them and thought it’d be cool to try setting one up myself. I didn’t really know where to start, so I just started with prepare a server for me.

Getting Started

First things first, install nebula by this command:

curl -fsSL -o * script_install_url

sudo bash *

Then, I used openssl to create a certificate authority (CA) and a key. I just ran the nebula-cert command that came with the package:

./nebula-cert ca -name "My Network"

I then create some config for my nebula network:

pki:
ca: 
-----BEGIN NEBULA CERTIFICATE-----


-----END NEBULA CERTIFICATE-----
key: 
-----BEGIN NEBULA X25519 PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END NEBULA X25519 PRIVATE KEY-----
static_host_map:
"192.168.100.1": ["x.x.x.x:4242"]
lighthouse:

am_lighthouse: false
interval: 60
hosts:
- 192.168.100.1
listen:
host: 0.0.0.0
port: 4242

punting:
try_interval: 5
wait_interval: 5
punchy:
punch: true
relay:
use_relays: false

am_relay: false
rebind_interval: 60
firewall:
outbound:
- port: any
proto: any
host: any

I had to do this a few times, honestly, to get the hang of it. I’m not a security expert, so it was a bit of trial and error. I think I messed up the IP addresses a couple of times, making it so the nodes couldn’t see each other.

Setting Up the Nodes

Next, I had to set up the individual nodes. I’m calling one the “lighthouse” and the other “client”.

• The Lighthouse: This is like the main server. It needs a public IP address so the other nodes can find it.
• client:This is connect to my lighthouse

I copied that nebula-cert command, created some config, signed it with the CA, and then transferred everything over to node.

./nebula-cert sign -name "lighthouse" -ip "192.168.100.1/24"
./nebula-cert sign -name "client" -ip "192.168.100.2/24"

Running Nebula

Finally, time to actually run the thing! On each node, I just ran the nebula executable, pointing it to the config file:

./nebula -config *

I use ip addr to find my network device,and I got it!

It took some fiddling, I kept on changing configuration, and tried to make it works, finally I made it. Pretty cool, right?
