OpenVPN packet drops

By Tuinslak in Errors, Linux, Networking, Software

I recently started to notice following error messages on my openVPN server.
ovpn-server[6306]: vpn.rootspirit.com/85.234.x.y:62068 MULTI: packet dropped due to output saturation (multi_process_incoming_tun)
This basically means that the TUN or TAP interface is making more packets than the real (TCP) interface can handle.
As I need to run OpenVPN using the TCP protocol (instead of the faster UDP protocol; [...]

Linux gateway/router + unable to access certain (HTTPS) sites

By Tuinslak in Errors, Linux, Networking

I’ve had an issue for a while, being unable to access certain websites such as https://fon.com, but also certain parts of the Apple, Fortis and Microsoft site, while other (https) websites worked fine.
Running Wireshark I found that only about 5ish packets got transferred, and all other data to that website abruptly stopped.

I’ve made a quick and dirty work around (by including “+ Eurostar” in the drop down menu), solving this bug.
However, please, NMBS/SNCB, please [...]

By Tuinslak in Networking

I have been running a public DNS server for private purpose (never liked my ISP’s DNS servers, and the root servers were usually located too far away (at least those with easy to remember IPs).
Anyway, been testing it since this summer, and so far it’s been working great.
the DNS server running on a Debian virtual [...]
