## Rules of Conduct

* Protect your computer! Make sure your operating system is up to date and your firewall is enabled before arriving at the camp.
* If you want to download terabytes of data, you are better off connecting to the wired network.
* While we are quite able to find and disconnect you in case of network misuse, we prefer not to have to do so. Respect other visitors. Be aware that we cannot prevent law enforcement from acting within or related to our network.👮🚨🚔
* Do not connect shielded ethernet cables (STP or FTP) to a Datenklo.
* Do not connect shielded ethernet cables (STP or FTP) to any of our equipment.⚡
* Do not run your own DHCP server.
* Do not send IPv6 Router Advertisements.
* Do not ARP spoof or otherwise impede the operation of the network.
* If you want to run your own wireless equipment, there are a [few additional rules](#rules-for-wireless-equipment).

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.
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.

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.
