Yeah, I've got a PPTP setup for the bridge.
I'll set you up tomorrow and send you the details for the VPN and bridge.

Hi,
Judgement day came early and we switched back to residential internet and now have no static IP BUT I'm getting a much faster line installed next week as a result so it's all good.
Does anyone have a VPN I could connect to in order to keep my HECnet connection up (for me to not use, like I've been not using it since April ;) ). Winter is coming and I'll need something to do in the evenings and weekends when it's too rainy and cold to cycle :P
Thanks!

True but I don't really want to keep a log (and rotate/purge them), just see if packets are going in and out.
I might add another screen for setting up VPN to my server so that non-statically IP'd users can connect via the bridge.
This is how HILANT works - there is a VPN to my UK network and the bridge uses the static internal addresses to communicate. The VPN screen basically does this loop forever:
Can I ping the other side's bridge machine?
- Yes - ok, it's coool
- No - restart VPN
It's run without intervention for a year now :)

Ah. There is. That is what the SIGUSR1 is for...
I should improve on it, so that you can do it on a process you don't have the output from, though...
Yeah, thats why for now I suggest we launch the bridge in screen on the HECberry - attach to screen, send SIGUSR1 from other screen, see the results on main screen.
Screen is pretty light weight, even for a RasPi...

You and your screen.
There are these things called log files. :)

Which TCP/IP are you running? TCP/IP services uses REMOTE.

Why, does that kill the performance or?
It does hurt.

I totally did not get that. My comment was about the fact that logging
is not free. Of course it costs you something. (performance being the
obvious cost with computers)
Which should be obvious by the general TANSTAAFL.
Johnny
TANSTAAFL is not an acronym I had come across, but it sure looks a lot
like TNETENNBA.... crazy English humour...
Ok. First of all, I assumed that most people here might have known it, and if not, it's easy to look up. And it is rather old... Minted in the 50s or 60s. (I can't remember for sure right now).
But yeah, it does look a bit like that thing you wrote. Except that TANSTAAFL actually means something. :-)
Is it possible to add some debugging that is less performance intensive
but can you tell 'yes, there is comms between my instance of the bridge
and the remote ends'? Or do we have that already?
Ah. There is. That is what the SIGUSR1 is for...
I should improve on it, so that you can do it on a process you don't have the output from, though...
I suspect 90% of the issues with the bridge not working are solely down
to network configuration... if it is obvious that there is a link then
it allows me to focus on the 10% of issues that aren't down to my
stupidity ;)
So, maybe I should actually write some documentation, you say...? :-)
Johnny
Some documentation would be great, but at the end of the day it's just me being lazy not reading the source code thoroughly, isn't it? After all, there is no better documentation...
;)
