    Staying connected to two VPNs at the same time?

    See if you can use sshuttle's -x option for each subnet routed by your work vpn. The manpage for sshuttle seems to indicate it isn't very bright about what to proxy and what to pass through. You can get a list of subnets added by your work vpn by checking /sbin/ip route show before and after...

    NSA can decrypt VPNs?

    Here's a quotation from the referenced slide: Emphasis mine. Yes, they can decrypt the data, but it still costs processing time and it is probably not realtime. Worried? Use bigger SSL keys for authentication and stronger encryption. I'm sure 2048 bit RSA keys from a private CA and AES256 +...

    Security incident at OVH

    Probably the same as mine: Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Product Name: DH61AG Version: AAG23736-503 No IPMI on there, unfortunately.

    Security incident at OVH

    (edit: That algorithm is also known as PBKDF2 using HMAC-SHA512 as the PRF and password of salt||password. You got me with "using hashing for passwords" when you meant "using only hashing". And some days I lack the terminology to understand what is said.) On topic, it sucks that OVH was...

    Routing my incoming traffic through my vps

    This guide I got from google looks right from what I remember: http://www.howtogeek.com/51237/setting-up-a-vpn-pptp-server-on-debian/ Then use the forwarding rules from buyvm's GRE article (or from anywhere, really) and you should be pretty set...

    Check your VM's RDNS. I believe that is how debian guesses.

    Per customer /64's?

    I would appreciate more than a window of 48 hours to renumber my VMs. This is what I suggest for a transition strategy: 1. All current ipv6 allocations are marked legacy. If a user clicks disable in S2, notify them that if they do this, the IP will be deallocated and a new one assigned. 2. Set...

    How to handle script installation

    I would recommend either @'s method, which is very common for distribution packages or a script that reads options (with defaults) from the user at runtime in bash or sh, or if your software requires another script interpreter to run, optionally that scripting language. Rarely will I see or use...

    Top Providers Poll

    In no particular order a vote for each of: ramnode, buyvm. I'd like to vote for anynode, but I haven't been with them long enough to be sure nor have they been around long enough. The rest of my VMs do not count as low-end or are just for toying around.

    Best practices for managing ipsec config?

    Since I'm not using strong/open/freeswan, I'd have to roll my own to do that which is probably the route I will take. Thanks for the input.

    iptables/ip6tables one file script

    Sorry I'm late getting back to you. I would just use similar forward rules to ipv6, except no nat.  So just pass everything through to known good IPs on your VPN and drop the rest, and from VPN to internet, passall. Roughly: ip6tables -X ip6tables -N goodvpnipv6 ip6tables -A FORWARD -i tun0...

    Using varnish as a http cache

    ftfy. Ideally it would be using 1x bw + a bit of change. I've found for small installs, using nginx proxy_cache or fastcgi_cache is less of a pain to set up than varnish for similar performance, though vcl is a lot more expressive than nginx's own config language.

    USB SDR (Software Defined Radio) Users?

    I have an rtl2832u based device (ezcap dvb-t) and a usrp1, which I got for more bw. The rtl2832u has a theoretical bw of ~2.8 MHz but I've found the useable bw to be more like 1.5-1.8 and I wanted 6+MHz for TV OTA decoding (never got this to work right). They're both fully supported by gnuradio...

    Best practices for managing ipsec config?

    I have near on two dozen ipsec endpoints that are pretty much interconnected n-way with some exceptions. I have a file on each endpoint that has IP pairs, local &amp; remote, from which a script generates an /etc/ipsec-tools.conf and /etc/racoon/racoon.conf using templates when those services...

    Using varnish as a http cache

    I'm a fan of adding ulimit -v 192000 to /etc/default/varnish on pre-physpages (2.6.18 series) kernels. This will cause varnishd to shut down its child and restart it when it starts using too much virtual memory, preventing your other processes from getting an out-of-memory error. Not needed in...
