Rihannsuhello, im trying to set up a vpn connection from a vps using ubuntu server 16.04, what is the simplest way to accomplish this. I've tried openvpn and cant get the dns resolver to work and pptpd wont connect period. I have been slaving at this all day any help would be greatly appriciated.05:14
sarnoldRihannsu: do you need to modify security groups with your vps provider to allow the incoming connections? most are highly restricted by default05:15
Rihannsui could try that, i also got it to work one way. I sent my dns to google dns on my windows wireless adapter and it worked great but only on this pc. im trying to tunnel the vpn through the network, does that help?05:16
Rihannsumy router is the one connecting to the server05:17
Rihannsudo you know of any good vps providers off hand that are friendly to this sort of thing?05:19
sarnoldi'd sort of expect them all to be able to handle it; it's just sockets afterall05:20
Rihannsuok i sent a support ticket05:22
Rihannsudo they throttle the port speed also? The best speed i could get was 5mbps05:22
sarnoldsome providers do indeed sell different speeds05:23
Rihannsuit said on the package i purchased that id get 1gbps on the port, is their something im doing wrong?05:24
Ben64you need 1gbps everywhere in between for that to happen05:25
Rihannsumy connection at home is 60mbps, if i could even get 30mbps id be extremely pleased, where is the speed being lost? Does the tunnel kill that much speed?05:26
sarnoldthere's a lot of variables; perhaps they've got 1gbps ports all over but only 10gbps out of their datacenter.. maybe if you've got ten machines in their network, they'd all be doing 1gbps with each other happily, but not hit those speeds leaving the network05:28
sarnoldhow many hops are between you and your VPS? what kind of latency do you see when you ping it?05:29
Rihannsuif i connect ill drop dns and be disconnected bare with me a second05:29
sarnoldwere you testing wired or wireless on your network? maybe it's all local congestion :)05:29
Rihannsui am using wireless but on my lane i get 100 mbps05:30
Rihannsulan05:30
sarnoldadn packetloss looks alright?05:30
Rihannsuhold on ill have to tracert my server, brb05:30
Rihannsucant connect now, jeez this is such an incredible headache05:33
Rihannsumaybe im asking the wrong questions...05:34
Rihannsumy objective is to have a us ip address while located overseas, what is the best way to accomplish this?05:34
sarnold'best' is hard to quantify :)05:35
sarnoldsome people are happy to just sign up with a commercial vpn service05:36
Rihannsuok let me try this then, simplist as security isnt a huge concern05:36
Rihannsucommerical vpn is ok but i need a decent connection speed05:36
sarnoldI think that runs the risk of giving data you care about most to a centrialized point that may or may not have your best interests at heart05:36
Rihannsuwell i will be using this vpn for a very specific task only05:37
sarnoldbut if you have good hygiene habits like always using ssh or tls for sites you care about it, it's probably fine, no different from usng open wifi points..05:37

ubool32_tHey, What security changes should I make before I make an apache web server internet facing?19:18
PolarcraftJust curious here, does anyone know of a good virtualization panel or a vm management panel? I have heard of solus and proxmox, but solus is outdated and I don't want to go full in with something that is priced high for me.19:49
compdocI use virt-manager. dont know if youd call that a 'panel'20:03
