By Tuinslak in Linux, Networking, Software, wwwPlaying around and searching the web I enabled some decent caching now. Here are some stats: image+html and php.

I’m deliberately making a difference between cache.* and live.* as blog.tuinslak.* might move to the cached version lateron. The question, is it useful to reverse proxy this blog? No, probably [...]

OpenVPN packet drops
By Tuinslak in Errors, Linux, Networking, SoftwareI 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.

Running Wireshark I found that only about 5ish packets got transferred, and all other data to that website abruptly stopped. I’m using [...]

Anyway, been testing it since this summer, and so far it’s been working great. the DNS server running on a [...]

However, this GUI includes an old OpenVPN, that is no longer compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
