There will be wired 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T/10GBASE-T ethernet on the camping grounds and in the caravan areas, provided by our state-of-the-art Datenklos (DKs or "Data Toilets"). Look for construction toilets with tin foil wrapped around them.

**Wired connections are completely unfiltered and will receive a public IP address**. If you have (older) devices that cannot be trusted with unrestricted incoming connections, bring a firewall. **Wired connections are completely unfiltered and will receive a public IP address**.

You can lay your own ethernet cables (we don't provide them), but please do so in a tidy manner. You must not cross any roads, paths or borders between camping grounds. Always lay your cable from the Datenklo towards your tent to keep most of the slack close to your tent, but leave a few metres of slack cable at the Datenklo. Do not use shielded cables – these can damage equipment due to ground loops and we will not connect them. As a remediation you can bring a RJ45 coupler (bonus points for plastic version) and a (short) unshielded cable.

The maximum distance to your nearest Datenklo will be approximately 50 meters, but bringing a longer cable is a good idea if you want to be sure. If your cable isn't long enough, you might find someone within range who has a switch and can plug you in. **We will not connect shielded cables** (with metal plugs) – these can damage equipment due to ground loops.🔌⚡ As a workaround, you can bring a RJ45 coupler (bonus points for plastic version) and a (short) unshielded cable.

Simply leave the end of your cable at the Datenklo and it will be connected by helpers at regular intervals (during reasonable work hours). If you want your cable back, coil it up at the Datenklo or mark it accordingly. It will be disconnected for you to pick up.

Optionally, bring a small ethernet switch when connecting multiple devices. Please disable Spanning-Tree Protocol if you connect a managed switch. Optionally, bring a small ethernet switch when connecting multiple devices. Please disable Spanning-Tree Protocol if you connect a managed switch.
We don't have (m)any fibre/SFP+ ports available in the DKs this time. We don't support connections with 10Base-T or fibre/SFP+ in the DKs this time. Sorry.
