Networking :: Bypassing ISP Traffic Shapers?
Feb 18, 2010
I have done some research on the net and I am battling to find effective methods in other to bypass those irritating ISP traffic shapers. I have used SSH tunneling to reduce latency (which is my primary goal, i dont care about silly torrents, etc) by about 200ms.
Do you know of any other way that I could improve this latency? When I ping my server in Germany (from South Africa) i get a latency of about 185ms... I was hoping to get online gaming traffic to around about 250ms or even less if possible... Right now its sitting on 550ms WITH SSH tunneling and 800ms without it... (to Blizzard servers)

I can bypass our firewall in IE. They use wildcards, like 10*. I've tried 10.100.0/16, but am still getting to our firewall. How can I specify the correct settings for Firefox?

I need to set up my centOS computer as a firewall in my home network. Ive got 2 interfaces, eth0 and eth1. I want to allow and forward all traffic on eth0 and block all traffic on eth1 except ssh, ping(icmp) and DNS. How do I do this? Ive tried some editing in /etc/sysconfig/iptables but no luck.

I know this isn't directly related to Ubuntu (even if the rest of my network is pure Ubuntu!), but I haven't had any luck uncovering this info through the usual channels. Does anyone know which port Android 2.2 on a VIA wm8650 uses to access the Internet? My Wifi is routed through a Linux firewall (Ipcop) which forces normal outbound Internet traffic via normal ports (80, 8080 etc) through the ipcop proxy, but the wm8650 somehow bypasses the proxy. I don't know whether I'm just missing the port the tablet is actually using.

I wanted to tell my server to block all traffic but US only traffic. So i followed this guide:[URL].. Now I know, it's the best way to help prevent hackers/crackers (doesn't matter to me what they are called. I just have to stop them). My server only deals with US clients anyways so might as well just start right there for my server's security before getting into the brute force and injection preventions. So I got it all done compiled everything moved to the proper directory. I then started to setup my iptables. Like so
Code: iptables -F INPUT
iptables -F OUTPUT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -s *.*.*.* -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -s *.*.*.* -p tcp -j ACCEPT
[Code]...
After seeing that i went digging in the code and figured it was something todo with memory allocation.

Recently I notice that when I'm connected to an vpn server (pptpd) and I'm using it as a default gateway my download and upload speed decreases almost to the half of the usual speed. I made a test using iptables in order to count how much GRE packets are generated (except the real traffic itself) in that way:
Code:
iptables -I INPUT -p gre -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p gre -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -s 172.16.10.101 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -d 172.16.10.101 -j ACCEPT
The first 2 rules match all GRE packets between the pptpd server and client, and the next rules - the traffic between the server and the client.
When I turn the counters to zero and begin to generate traffic (to browse, to download etc.) I see that the GRE packets are even more than these in the FORWARD chain.
So, my question is first of all is my test correct and is it true that so much gre traffic is being generated during the browsing (it becames clear that the traffic is double than if the pptpd wasn't used as a gateway) and if yes - can that traffic be reduced?

We have something on our network that is reaking havoc with our content filter. I am trying to track it down, but so far I have been unsuccessful. We have approximately 500 devices in 100+ different locations spread across 9 states. Looking at each computer is not really feasible.
I need a machine that can sit in between our network and our internet connection and graphically monitor in real time and logs how much traffic each device is sending and receiving. It would need to sit inline so it has to have two nics and be able to pass traffic. The machine also needs to be transparent. Reconfiguration of our routers or workstations is not an option.
I have used ethereal and wireshark before. Ethereal may be a viable option, but wireshark seems to provide lots of information, but no practical way to make use of it. how to set up the box to be a transparent device on the network that will allow internet bound traffic to flow (freely)?

I am on Linux on machine LOCAL (my notebook).I ssh into a company machine REMOTE which is behind a firewall and ONLY allows incoming ssh connections (port 22), no outbound connections whatsoever. I do have full root access on both, LOCAL and REMOTE, REMOTE is however a VPS and behind a hardware firewall.I now need network access on REMOTE (HTTP and other protocols) for downloading and building some software. I also need to access to NON HTTP protocols such as git.
I was hoping to set up a reverse SSH tunnel for using my LOCAL machine, where I could be running a socks server. So that network access on REMOTE would be redirected over the SSH tunnel to a socks server running on machine LOCAL.How would I go about setting something like this up?

I was under the impression the Linux (in my case the Fedora OS) is very secure. However I've learnt with deep concern that that one can have access to the system during system startup i.e one can give various startup directives and bypass the normal login UI to have direct root access.
Is there a way to disble this so that the directives during startup are fixed and cannot be altered. I would like to make the system secure to the maximum extent possible.

I setup a SSH server on my computer on a very high port, so that my brother could surf the web through my computer from Iran, since the majority of websites are filtered there.
Today, he told me he cannot connect to my computer. That's why, I got suspicious that they are doing packet based filtering instead of port. Then I decided to change the port to 433 for https, but one of my friend told me that they just banned https in Iran as well.
I was wondering if there's any way I can manipulate SSH packets between two computers so that my brother's ISP won't figure out he's exchanging SSH packets?

I have a user that has already used up a demo 24hr trial on my website. At present, I only check the customer id and the IP address to search for duplicates. On the whole this works but it's not foolproof. We now have 1 user from China that is changing their IP address everyday to get access to the free trial. Any options on what to do? I thought of downloading a cookie to their computer that the website could pick up - again not foolproff but most people don't disable cookies. Any other options?
I could ban China temporarily until the user gives up but if they find another proxy to chain then their IP address will be different again.

I am looking for a way to permanently delete files immediately - no trash, no taking up space but a command to make a file immediately gone. I have a USB flash drive and it has a hidden .trash file on it that builds-up until I have no more room on the flash drive - all space taken up by deleted files. I need a command that bypasses the trash and immediately deletes a file for good making space available.

I'm trying to backup my old PC games so that I can finally banish their CDs to the attic once and for all. I've just been using the DD command to grab iso's of my games so far, while keeping their keys in a text file (see the DD command below). However, I just hit my C&C collection and I'm having some problems with some of the newer games like Renegade and Yuri's Revenge. I think they must be copy protected or something. 4 of my last discs have stopped copying at exactly 1.7MB (3 seperate DVD drives, 2 IDE, 1 USB enclosed). Can you guys think of anything else that will cause DD to fail at this location? Any ideas? I'd prefer it to be a command line option, as I'm trying to make things go as quickly as possible. Here's the command I've been using. code...

I have a comcast business network adapter that has a 4 port switch. It also handles nat 1 to 1 translation for static IPs (That's just how they do it, there is no other choice).
In port 1, I have a cat6 that brings traffic to and from my linux machines, allows me to vpn, ssh, a mail server, etc. Everything here is fine.
In port 2, I have a netgear router that is setup with a point to point VPN for a client.
Here are the issues:
1. Machines that are connected to the netgear vpn router/switch can access machines on my network - I don't want this.
2. I can't access the machines connected to his lan from my lan - I need this to administer his machines somehow. Even if I have to VPN to the concentrator and do it like that.
Here is the network structure.
Code:
Internet <-> 10.10.10.1 -> switch with 10.10.10.x machines
|
-> internal vpn IP 10.10.10.50
|
[Code]....
The external network for the VPN is 10.10.10.x and the internal is 10.10.20.x. So, a machine with IP 10.10.20.100 can get to 10.10.10.X and I don't want that. I guessing it's doing this because technically, I'm 'from the internet' on 10.10.10.x and the vpn machines are going 'out to the internet'. Is there a way to have this:
vpn -> gateway traffic only?
I have a cisco 1811w at my disposal if I need to use it; however, I'm all thumbs when it comes to cisco IOS and networking in general.

I'm trying to inspect network traffic from my iPhone / iPad / Kindle / other wi-fi only consumer electronic device. To do this I man-in-the-middle myself (connect laptop to LAN via wire, create wireless Ad-hoc network, bridge the connections, then connect my device to the ad-hoc wi-fi network) and use Wireshark to watch the traffic.
In the past this has been adequate for my needs (just wanted to watch and see what potentially private info was being leaked about me / see that banking / amazon / etc apps were going over SSL). Now I've noticed that applications are almost all using SSL (which is great) but they are way to active for my taste. I'd like to use these apps but want to know what's happening in the background. I know that corporations dead-end SSL connections at their proxys to inspect the traffic and then re-establish the connection on behalf of the user for the trip across the internet. While I find the corporate use a bit distasteful, I think this is exactly what I'd need to do to myself. Any suggestions for how to do so or other ideas on how to get the packets in the clear?

I have ubuntu server with PPTP on it. I need to limit single connection speed for ip 1 mbit/s, and mounthly traffic limit to 5 GB. How i can do this my task. I try to find somthing with ip tables, but can't find how to creat mounthly limits.PPTP do not have this option, maybe is some other, not hard for configure VPN server? Maybe someone make this task with iptables, and can give commands for limiting? Ofcorse VPN program with integrated accaunts and limits will be better.

I've got 4 or 5 of these TRENDnet USB network adapters ( TU-ET100c ) that I use frequently when I'm configuring firewalls or IPS devices for customers. I use them in combination with VirtualBox to test. They've always worked great until my new laptop I just got, and I put 10.04 on it. Previously I was on 9.x. Sometimes they will give a link light, other times not. And when they do the interface shows that it's up, but I can't get any traffic across the interface.

I have access to a VPN I use when having confidential instant messaging sessions. For the purposes of my work, essentially.I'm a command line kind of guy, and like to use Finch (the shell version of Pidgin) for those.However, when I turn on my OpenVPN connection it routes all traffic through the VPN. Web-browsing, IMing, and I can no longer access other machines on my home network.Can I set OpenVPN to only route traffic I ask through that connection (either by port number or application, or some way I haven't thought of), while other traffic flows through my usual home network?Some kind of local proxy perhaps? Or a dd-wrt box set up as a proxy, connected to OpenVPN?I've played around with the GUI environment too (I have a basic GUI I sometimes use on my main machine) and have installed the full desktop 10.10 on a second machine just to see if I can work it out.

I have a VPN account and have been running it perfectly on windows without any problems but I deleted my windows OS because I wanted to force myself to learn a Linux OS. I have installed the configuration package through the terminal and have followed this guide exactly
[URL]
The VPN was giving me a no secrets error to start off but I managed to fix and now it connects for about 40seconds but whilst it is connected, the internet is completely useless and I can't get on anything... It then disconnects after 40 seconds saying it has failed.
I installed firestarter to see if I could tweak it there to work but it was beyond me and I could also see from the data being sent that none of it was going through tap0 whilst the VPN was connected..

I have a UBUNTU server 10.04 LTS with 3 network interfaces (eth0,1,2) with eth0 is connected to my lan and others connected to two different ISPs , I am looking for a very flexible and complete monitoring tool which can monitor all of the traffic of incoming and outgoing of any interface and SPECIALLY can show me which local client made connection to which interface for connecting to internet in online mode not offline and it is good to have online web base interface I mean the interface shows the measured data in real time mode. I fount some tools like iftop and iptraf and many others in this url: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-...for-linux.html but non of them are suitable for my net I mean none of them have good web real time data and non of them shows "which local client made connection to which interface for connecting to internet".

I have a proxy/gateway server with X routable addresses and X clients, each connecting to his corresponding address from my server. All clients have public static IP's. I need something like the output of 'pktstat -1 -w 10 -B -i eth0 -n -P -t -T' but that would indicate the biggest'traffic hogs' from my clients.
Something like:
67.78.89.90 <-> my.public.ip.1 1344KB/s up 289KB/s down
56.67.78.89 <-> my.public.ip.2 1203KB/s up 200KB/s down
With this output, I can limit the traffic passing thru my server using a bandwidth limiter on my.public.ip.1 and my.public.ip.2. Pktstat only shows the total traffic from-to the respective IP's gathered in a 10second interval (-w 10). I would like something that would indicate the bandwidth per ip more precisely, I don't want to divide the total traffic by 10 (seconds).
Please note that this will go in a cron job. The interactive tools like iftop are useless (I would like something like a text screenshot of iftop from which I could extract the needed information).

I have installed OpenVPN to use it as an internet gateway butcan't get it to work.OpenVPN installed without any problem. The client can also connect and ping the server but there is no internet traffic.I think it is because of a wrong gateway address which the client gets but I'm not sure. server IP address is 10.8.0.1 and the client can ping this IP but it's default gateway is always 10.8.0.5 which is not accessible from the client.This is my server.conf:
Code:
dev tun
proto tcp
