Re: PSA: Simple Wi-Fi gateway killswitch that works with OpenVPN config files

As a related aside, if your network ever does go to hell in a handbasket, 
the following manual commands seem to surgically fix mine in a flash.

I renamed interfaces so that I don't have to deal with spaces:
 netsh interface set interface name="Ethernet 2" newname="eth0"
 netsh interface set interface name="Wi-Fi 2" newname="wlan0"

Set your network for Ethernet (in my case, via a wireless router):
 netsh interface set interface "wlan0" admin=disabled
 netsh interface set interface "eth0" admin=enabled
 netsh interface ipv4 set address name="eth0" static 192.168.1.15 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
 netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="eth0" static 1.1.1.1
 netsh interface ipv4 add dns name="eth0" 1.0.0.1
 netsh interface ipv4 show dnsservers
 netsh interface ipv4 show config name="eth0"
 netsh interface ipv4 show config
 netsh interface ipv4 show dnsservers
 ping -n 1 192.168.1.1
 ping -n 1 1.1.1.1
 ping -n 1 www.google.com
 wmic nic where (NetEnabled=true) get Name, Speed
 curl -o NUL http://speedtest.tele2.net/1MB.zip
 curl -o NUL http://speedtest.tele2.net/10MB.zip
 curl -o NUL http://speedtest.tele2.net/100MB.zip
 speedtest.exe  (from <https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli>)
 route print -4
 ipconfig /all 
 At this point you can now run psiphon.bat or vpn.bat

Set your network for Wi-Fi (in my case, via a Wi-Fi NIC card):
 netsh interface set interface "eth0" admin=disabled
 netsh interface set interface "wlan0" admin=enabled
 netsh interface ipv4 set address name="wlan0" static 192.168.1.16 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
 netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="wlan0" static 1.1.1.1
 netsh interface ipv4 add dns name="wlan0" 1.0.0.1
 netsh wlan connect name="my.ssid_nomap"
 netsh wlan connect name="starbucks.office_nomap"
 netsh interface ipv4 show config
 netsh interface ipv4 show config name="wlan0"
 netsh interface ipv4 show dnsservers
 ping -n 1 192.168.1.1
 ping -n 1 1.1.1.1
 ping -n 1 www.google.com
 wmic nic where (NetEnabled=true) get Name, Speed
 curl -o NUL http://speedtest.tele2.net/1MB.zip
 curl -o NUL http://speedtest.tele2.net/10MB.zip
 curl -o NUL http://speedtest.tele2.net/100MB.zip
 speedtest.exe  (from <https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli>)
 route print -4
 ipconfig /all 
 At this point you can now run psiphon.bat or vpn.bat
 
============================================================
Here's a networking cheat sheet if anyone needs the commands.
============================================================
 Layer 1: link & adapter state
  check NIC driver + link status
   wmic nic get Name,NetEnabled,Speed
  show adapter statistics (errors/drops)
   netstat -e
  show interface statistics
   netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces
============================================================
 Layer 2: arp & neighbor discovery
  show arp table
   arp -a
  show ipv4 neighbor cache
   netsh interface ipv4 show neighbors
============================================================
 Layer 3: ip configuration & routing
  show ipv4 global settings
   netsh interface ipv4 show global
  show ipv4 addresses
   netsh interface ipv4 show address
  show routing table (ipv4 only)
   route print -4
  show active tcp/udp endpoints
   netstat -an
============================================================
 Layer 4: dhcp
  check dhcp server discovery
   netsh dhcp show server
  show dhcp-assigned addresses
   netsh interface ip show addresses
  force dhcp renew
   ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew
============================================================
 Layer 5: dns
  test dns resolution
   nslookup example.com
  show dns cache
   ipconfig /displaydns
  flush dns cache
   ipconfig /flushdns
============================================================
 Layer 6: firewall
  show firewall rules
   netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all
  show firewall profile state
   netsh advfirewall show allprofiles
============================================================
 Layer 7: winsock
  show winsock providers
   netsh winsock show catalog
  reset winsock (fixes corruption)
   netsh winsock reset
============================================================
 Layer 8: connectivity tests
  ping gateway
   ping <gateway>
  ping ipv4-only target
   ping -4 8.8.8.8
  trace ipv4 route
   tracert 8.8.8.8
  test ipv4 http
   curl -4 http://example.com
============================================================
 Layer 9: system logs
  open event viewer
   eventvwr.msc
  check dhcp logs
   (event viewer ¡÷ microsoft ¡÷ windows ¡÷ dhcp-client)
  check tcp/ip logs
   (event viewer ¡÷ system ¡÷ tcpip)
  check ndis driver logs
   (event viewer ¡÷ system ¡÷ ndis)
============================================================
 Layer 10: advanced routing & bindings
  show interface metrics
   netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces
  show binding joins
   netsh interface ip show joins
  show tcp global parameters
   netsh interface tcp show global
===========================================================
