kandi X-RAY | torrentbox Summary

torrentbox is a Ruby library typically used in Networking, VPN applications. torrentbox has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Repository which contains the code to deploy a VNC host for downloading torrents over a secure VPN connection. This was previously a private repository of mine, but I've decided to open-source it in case somebody finds it useful. There should be more documentation around the attributes and how to utilise the cookbook as a resource in itself, but I don't have the time for it at the moment. A PR would be welcome for this.

            How to kill Firebird (2.1) attachment/connection if VPN was used for database session
            Asked 2022-Mar-16 at 13:46

            I am using VPN (Endpoint Security, Check Point) to establish connection to the Firebird 2.1 database from IBExpert on my computer. Sometimes I just forget disconnect from database and I cancel/disonnect VPN session only.

            When I am connectiong once more to the VPN and database I can see in the mon$attachments that the previous connection/attachment is still existing and its unresolved transactions are causing deadlock errors (that belong to the previous attachment - this can be verified exactly by the transaction number that is reported in the error message of deadlock error).

            So - VPN sometimes retains sessions and those VPN sessions keeps the Firebird attachments in existences.

            Is there way how can I (using SYSDBA connection) end those other Firebird attachments from my current Firebird session?

            I have contacted the VPN administrator to cancel VPN sessions, but it takes time. Database shutdown is out of the question - DB is in production mode. So, ending Firebird attachments using SQL is the only option left for me - if such option exists at all?

            ...

            Answered 2022-Mar-16 at 13:46

            In Firebird 2.5 and later, you can delete a connection from MON$ATTACHMENTS to kill a connection. This is not supported with the monitoring tables in Firebird 2.1 as far as I'm aware.

            Given even Firebird 2.5 is end-of-life, and Firebird 2.1 has been end-of-life since 2014, you should really consider updating.

            Normally, Firebird uses the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option to detect dead connections, but this can take a long time (depending on your OS configuration). An alternative might be to configure dummy_packet_interval in firebird.conf to a non-zero value (the value is seconds, so set it to a reasonable (read, not too low) value).

            Yes, it's the principle of a VPN: bridge 2 networks, through the public internet, but with encrypted communication to keep the traffic secret.

            Of course, there are limits and constraints: IP range overlap, routing, network announcement (BGE protocol if supported), firewalls,...

            I see some big company using firefox version 45.x.x to connect to their vpn, is there any concern of doing this?
            Asked 2022-Jan-17 at 09:57

            why not just use usual vpn tools? like outline or openvpn or any else, is there any security concern? and of course that's an old version of firefox, why not use another browser with latest version? or maybe firefox with latest version

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Jan-17 at 09:57

            The answer lies probably in some kind of security policies in that company.

            Maybe their VPN gateway is running an obsolete version of VPN server? Maybe, for the users' UX they're using Java Applet based VPN clients? New browsers don't allow running Java Applets (NPAPI in Firefox was abandoned in 2018).

            Why not using other VPN solutions: maybe the cost of implementation (including trainings, auditing, etc) is too high, and the company has mitigated risks in some other ways (for example with strict Internet traffic filtering, allow-lists, Intrusion Detection Systems, etc.)? Maybe there are regulatory limitations, such as FIPS requirement for a VPN solution, which can't be met with popular VPN solutions?

            If employees of that company can connect to the Internet without any restrictions (web sites' allow-list) the risk of introducing malware into company LANs is very high while using such outdated browsers. In big companies, such risks are mitigated with additional security controls.

            To sum it up: I recommend getting knowledge with that company's internal security policies to get the whole picture.

            How to reach host behind site-to-site VPN connection through peering VPC connection

            You can't do this. VPC peering is not transitive. You can setup VPC connection to VPC B as well instead.

            Can AWS Lambda function call an endpoint over a VPN?
            Asked 2021-Dec-16 at 21:30

            I'm using an SMS sending service provided by a local mobile carrier. The carrier enforces clients to connect to their datacentre over a VPN in order to reach their endpoints. The VPN tunnel must always be kept open (i.e. not on demand).

            Currently, I'm using a micro EC2 instance that acts as middleware between my main production server (also an EC2 instance) and the carrier endpoint.

            Production Server --> My SMS Server --over VPN--> Carrier SMS Server

            Is there a way to replace my middleware server with an AWS Lambda function that sends HTTP requests to the carrier over an always-on VPN tunnel?

            Also, can an AWS Lambda function maintain a static IP? The carrier has to place my IP in their whitelist before I can use their service.

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-16 at 21:30

            s2svpn would be great but my question is can a lambda function HTTP request route through that connection?

            Sure. Lambdas can have a VPC subnet attached. It's a matter of configuring the subnet routing table / VPN configuration to route the traffic to the carrier through the VPN endpoint.

            Also, can an AWS Lambda function maintain a static IP?

            No. Depends. A VPC-attached Lambda will create an eni (network interface) in the subnet with internal (not fixed) subnet iP address. But the traffic can be routed though a fixed NAT or a VPN gateway.

            That's the reason I asked which IP address needs to be fixed, on what level. The VPN has a fixed IP address. If the carrier enforces the VPN address whitelisting, lambda clients should be working. If a fixed IP of the internal network is required then you will need a fixed network interface (e.g. using EC2)
