Archiving software and user manuals for ZON - Home of Victory atelle

Last year, I purchased a keyboard3 Wireless from ZON at NetOnNet. It's a great keyboard, and since I work in a hybrid setup, I wanted to get a second one for my office to avoid carrying mine back and forth.

However, when I searched for the same keyboard, I couldn't find it anywhere. Not only was it no longer available for sale, but the official website (https://www.zon.gg/) was also down.

While finding a replacement keyboard isn't a big issue, I realized that with the website gone, there was no way to download the official software or user manual anymore.

So, I decided to search through my archive of old software and managed to find a copy of both. To ensure others can access it as well, I’ve uploaded the files to multiple locations:

Hopefully, NetOnNet will restore the official website, making the software available again—even if they no longer sell the keyboard.

How to make ZyXEL NSA325-v2 usable in 2025 atelle

I have a compact 2-bay NAS, the ZyXEL NSA325-v2.

It was an excellent and affordable device back in the day, but it has become outdated over the years. While it still handles basic NAS functions, it relies on SMB1.

Since SMB1 is insecure, unsupported, and disabled by default in modern operating systems, the NAS is no longer a viable option out of the box.

There are a couple of ways to extend its usefulness:

Installing a Custom Firmware – Upgrading to OpenWrt or Debian can breathe new life into the device, unlocking new features and improving security. However, this requires some time and technical effort.
Using NFS for Secure Access – A simpler solution is to enable NFS, which allows safe access from both Windows and Linux.

I decided to go for the second option. Using NFS for Secure Access.

First you need to install the NFS Application on the NAS. The built in application installer no longer download application files from the web, so you need to do this manually.

- Download the required files: https://s3.pxcd.org/atelle/blog/files/zy-pkgs.zip
- Use the package NFS_1.1.4_arm_004.zpkg

If you're unfamiliar with installing packages on the ZyXEL NSA325-v2, check out my blog post for a step-by-step guide.

Once the package is installed, go to Network - NFS and create a new share.

I named my share "atelle" and set tie DN/IP Filter to * with Read Write.

Once you have created the NFS share, you should see something like this:

To use NFS (Network File System) on Windows, you'll need to enable the "Services for NFS" feature, which allows Windows to act as an NFS client and access shares from other NFS servers (like Linux or UNIX systems).

1. Enable the NFS Client Feature:

Open Control Panel: Search for "Control Panel" in the Windows search bar and open it.
Turn Windows Features On or Off: In the Control Panel, click on "Programs" and then "Turn Windows features on or off".
Check "Services for NFS": Locate and check the box next to "Services for NFS".
Click OK: Confirm the changes and restart your computer if prompted.

2. Mount an NFS Share:

Open a Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges: Search for "cmd" in the Windows search bar, right-click on "Command Prompt," and select "Run as administrator".

Then mound the fileshare with the following command:

    mount :

In my case, the NAS have IP 10.10.10.33, and the name of the fileshare is /i-data/90a7a77c/nfs/atelle. I will mount it to drive letter Y:

    mount 10.10.10.33:/i-data/90a7a77c/nfs/atelle Y:

You should now be able to see your network drive in file explorer.

Re-Writing my website to support Authentik! atelle

Today, I re-wrote my website to support Authentik as the new way of logging in. Since there is no registration, Authentik makes it easier for me to log in.

What is Authentik?

Authentik is an open-source identity provider that offers authentication and authorization for applications. It supports a variety of authentication methods, including Single Sign-On (SSO), OpenID Connect, and LDAP. Authentik is a great tool for centralizing user authentication while maintaining security and flexibility.

Why I Chose Authentik

I have implemented Authentik into many of the services I use in my HomeLab. It provides a seamless authentication experience, allowing me to manage access to my services from a single platform. By integrating it into my website, I can now log in securely using my existing Authentik setup, eliminating the need for separate login credentials.

Implementation Details

The integration process involved configuring Authentik as an identity provider for my website. Since my website does not allow public registration, using Authentik simplifies authentication for me. The implementation included:

Setting up an OpenID Connect provider in Authentik.
Configuring my website to authenticate users through Authentik.
Ensuring proper role-based access control for different services.

Benefits of Using Authentik

Centralized Authentication: One login for multiple services.
Improved Security: Supports 2FA, LDAP, and other security measures.
Ease of Use: No need to manage separate login systems.

Integrating Authentik has significantly improved how I access my self-hosted services. Moving forward, I plan to refine the setup further and explore additional features that Authentik offers. If you’re looking for a flexible authentication solution for your projects, I highly recommend giving Authentik a try!

1 Gbps @ home atelle

In my previous home, I had a 1250 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload network. After moving, I decided to upgrade to a 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber connection (1 Gbps up/down).

Despite the Gigabit speeds, I’m currently seeing only 900 Mbps download and 700 Mbps upload. I suspect this is due to a bottleneck in my network switch.

However, the new setup works great, and I finally have fiber—something I didn’t have at my old place.

You can read more about my previous network setup in this post: https://www.aksel.telle.at/post/?id=126
