All the three computers connect to the internet like no ones business. I am looking to setup a permanent openvpn connection for my PS3. I cannot install openvpn on the PS3, was wondering if any of you have knowledge on tutorials to setup a squid http proxy on HomeServer and setup HTTP proxy on PS3 to that to essentially get:

I have setup many openvpn clients on linux so that would not be a problem for Home Server just wondering if there is anything tricky with HomeServer ( only one ethernet jack - can add more if required)

I found this today do not know if it will work:

If so, Answer these questions:
HDD Space?
ISP?

Operating System?
Uptime?
Location? (If this is too personal, do not share)

Here is my setup:
I am currently using my old Asus EEE 900 Netbook as a home server to mess with. It is fun to mess with, I like to keep my backups on it also.
Asus EEE 900 Server Specs:
512MB DDR Ram
4GB SSD (Server running off of 180GB Maxtor External HDD)
Intel Celeron Mobile @ 900Mhz
ISP: Road Runner, 10mbp/s down 1mbp/s up
Operating System: CrunchBang Linux (OpenBox Linux Distro based on Debian 6 Stable)
Control Panel: OpenPanel
Location: Central Florida
Uptime: jeffrey@Shark:~$ uptime

For those who run cpanel/directadmin/plesk in their VPS and run LEB's for dns clustering. what are the real advantages for pulling your own weight, when there seemingly better solutions available for free.

PS : i run my own nameservers ( a cpanel cluster) and a set of private nameservers on cloudns for backup.

So far we have had a huge amount of feedback through our recent BrainStorm. Most of them have been feature requests so we have been reviewing those and placing them in to the roadmap. However one request that has surfaced in a few emails and doesn't require us to wait until we develop a new site is an ongoing LET Community Awards system.

So far shared is:

• Contributor of the Month
• Tutorial of the Month
• Post of the Month

Share your ideas in this thread, over the course of the next two months we will bring some ideas we plan to implement in to topics for community discussion.

Can anyone rent me a 8gb or 16gb ram dedicated server for £30-£40 /month?

I know that I'm asking a lot for this price but it's all I have at the moment

http://stats.pingdom.com/lpndpvvnzbon

Currently I am planning for my network to look something like this:

              
upstream----cisco_switch---servers

                |                          

                |---network_sniffer

...or in other words, I'll be spanning the port connecting to my upstream provider and mirroring that out to my sniffer box. The sniffer box will likely be a vanilla debian box, so I'll have the full set of unix tools to utilize. I'll have an eBGP peering session between myself and my provider, so setting up a black-hole (ala rfc3882) to the destination ip of the attack isn't going to be a problem.

I'm also considering sticking a vyatta box in front of the cisco switch and having that do the handle the BGP session do any sniffing inline.

Where I am having a bit of a hard time with all of this is with finding the right tool to use for bandwidth statistics on a per IP basis. I've always used tcpdump, but that doesn't seem as useful in this case. Tools like iptraf, ntop, and bandwidthd are great...but don't seem to lend themselves to automation very well. Right now I'm strongly considering sflow if I go with the provider-to-cisco topology, or trying to work this out with iptables on the vyatta box. At that point it's just a couple of lines of code to diff between output sampled at two spaces in time. However, the sflow method seems like it could get overly complicated for what I need, and the iptables method doesn't seem like it'd scale well if I had multiple /24 blocks.

But I'm sure that someone's done this before...does anyone have any insight that they can give me on how they accomplished this?

Thanks in advance.

Anyway, I'm looking for a VPS in New York City. I don't have a requirement for high specifications, so I'm not looking to pay a lot.

I already have a VPS in Las Vegas with alienvps, so I'd prefer to use someone else for NYC.

I'm looking at Hudson Valley Host, anyone have any experience with them? Or any other companies to suggest?

So I had a play and got a WP site running under Arch Linux with 64mb, then I dropped that down to 32mb and it told me to go **** myself so back up to 64mb it went.

Was interesting stuff I suppose its really a plan size for the die hards out there, just wondering what sort of real demand there is in the community?

The other issue being is the price, monthly 64mb XEN deals are a PITA the price, I was thinking 1.00 - 1.25 (EUR) p/month, the problem with that is that the processing fee's make it almost pointless to offer on a month by month basis, So I would like some out of the box ideas from the only community that would be interested in this and I may put up the following plan today.

XEN PV (Netherlands)
1 Core (minimum would be 3.06 GHz)
64mb Ram
64mb Swap
5GB HDD Space
5GB Offsite Backup
1000 mbit

I am thinking along the lines of either 3.00 EUR p/quater, 6.00 EUR s/Annual or 10 EUR p/year or if you wanted to pay monthly I need some fresh ideas on that, e.g. combo accounts/group buy.

If someone can come up with a good idea for a 64mb box and is prepared to publicly show it off I may just give you one for free for a few months.

I think the connection to the server is working...so is this an authentication problem? What is an "incorrect greeting?"

I want to create redundancy mail service on cpanel server.

example.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.aslia.net.
example.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.aslia.net.
example.com. 14400 IN A IP address of IPv4
localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
example.com. 14400 IN MX 0 mainserver.com.
example.com. 14400 IN MX 10 subserver.com.

Is this OK?

I was thinking I should add this feature to my rooted android, and have it say:
-Sent from a phone that's been overclocked.

and on my laptop:
-Sent from a HP Envy, are you Envious?

my iPod
-Sent from a place I listen to music from time to time.

and then my toilet:
-Sent from a, you don't want to know.

I've bought a Xen PV VPS with 512 MB of RAM and 512 MB of Swap, but when I execute free -m I see:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 497 46 451 0 1 22
-/+ buffers/cache: 21 475
Swap: 511 0 511

Is reserved by the kernel or what?
I haven't had this problem with others Xen VPS.

But if I reload the VPS using the CentOS 5 i386 template I get 512 MB of RAM...
The CentOS 5 template is the only that "works".

Is something that I can fix?

for another problem i change (http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/32382#Comment_32382) plugins=1 to plugins=0 in /etc/yum.conf.

and manually install by yum install lighttpd

its now work.but in kloxo process menu light show 1 green button instead of two green button.another red button said stopped for light button.

whats you guess about the problem?

temporally disable iptables.not worked.

My question is, what are the modifications you would make after using LES on, say, a 1GB VPS? Which files, what settings etc.

Thought's and comments welcome and appreciated :) xprotocept, put the slicing tool away :P

I've been playing around for VPSs for a few months now. I have no real expertise with Linux and command line, but I am trying to learn using tutorials. I've been able to set up a VPN, Wordpress site, Transmission server, and install DavMail (for scraping email from an Exchange web interface).

I have two VPSs - one AlienVPS, and one based in the UK. I think i've got the UK one sorted (a little wordpress website for my girlfriends music lesson business), but I'm still using the other as a 'play around' server.

I've stumped myself on installing a lemp suite so that i can install ajaxplorer (web file manager). I used one of the VPS scripts from here (minstall I think it was), but the install threw up a few errors along the way (I stupidly ran it as a non sudo user). I ended up with nginx working, but php not working. I tried removinx nginx and reinstalling, and now I'm stuck with no files in the nginx folder. This means I cannot start the service :(

I'd ordinarily reinstall the OpenVZ template and start again (harsh I know, but I am a newb), but this time I'd like to see if I can get some help on it first. Anyone? Please?

I don't expect top of the range performance from such an offer - they must have oversold by a lot.

What I do expect is decent customer support. My VPS went down on 12th, and has been offline so far. Hitting the boot button on control panel does nothing. Support tickets have gone unanswered.

To be clear, this is not a minor issue like help in installing or managing the server, but the VPS itself being down and not bootable for three days.

I shudder to think of my fate, had this type of support happened after I moved my site over. It earns decent money, and I'd have lost several hundered dollars in these 3-4 days.

Unless there is any improvement in their support, I won't renew my account, and I suggest anyone who values their site/business do the same.

What is this number counting? Visits to LeT or Visits to the Profile.

Try to find a solution for a work colleague, he has tried elastichosts.com but their IP range did not allow CBS to be streamed over VPN to UK.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a USA VPS provider, 128mb should be sufficient that will allow CBS to be streamed over VPN.

Many thanks

The above code works with all of our offers and will most likely expire early March.

We have a few customers here on Lowendbox who I am sure will vouch for our support and quality of service.

Test IP and files for both locations can be found at the bottom of our VPS page : corgitech.com/linux_vps.html

We only have IPv4 available at the moment.

Exclusions: Domain Name registration, Cpanel and Management options are exlcuded from the offer. Anonymous Proxies, Medium to Heavy Video Encoding, Seedboxes etc... are not permitted. IRC rules are dependent on location so please contact us for details. New orders only.

I have a Xen VPS which has DirectAdmin running on a 32bit version of CentOS. It now has 1 GB of dedicated RAM and 1 GB swap. Previously, it had 512 MB. I upgraded few weeks back.

The problem I am having (and this is the reason I had upgraded from 512 MB to 1 GB in the first place) is that, the VPS works fine for a few days and then it comes down to it's knees and stops responding and needs to be rebooted. On boot the system starts at around 170 MB of RAM usage and then it swims between 250 and 500 MB. Now this is what happened.

Yesterday after being up for over 20 days I noticed my sites were not opening so I SSHed into the system to check what's going on. The system had exhausted all of it's dedicated RAM and was using the swap memory. Upon doing a ps aux I saw there were around 110 httpd entries and a lot of mysqld entries too. I don't remember exactly how many mysqld entries there were but there were a lot compared to the usual number. I believe this is referred to as 'thrashing'? Anyways, what I find weird is that, upon doing a reboot everything becomes normal. If there is a spike in traffic, the same thing should happen after reboot also, right? But it never does. It plays nice after the reboot.

I am completely lost here and would appreciate if somebody could tell me why this could be happening and point me to the right direction. I want to know if I should be looking into optimizing Apache, MySQL or PHP?

Thanks!

PS: The server powers around 16 domains, of which most get hardly any traffic. There are only 4-5 domains which get traffic.
