Stealthy tunnel with stunnel, OpenVPN on Mac OS and Debian
OpenVPN is more and less banned in some countries, therefore to be able to use it there, we need to make it stealthy by installing a 3rd party software like Tor, SSH Tunnel or Stunnel which hides openVPN traffic from governmental firewall detection. The principle is quite simple, we create a tunnel between our computer and the openVPN server which is encrypted by a certificate, then we send our openVPN traffic through this tunnel. Debian 8 stunnel server installation First OpenVPN should be configured to use TCP instead of UDP, on this example we open port number 1000 and redirect …

Problem with Godaddy VPS upgrade
I recently had a problem with Godaddy ubuntu 16.04 VPS, after updating and upgrading the system: apt-get update apt-get upgrade reboot SSH port wasn’t anymore reachable, it’s the only access we have to the server, however other services are working normally, so the system is still running.

I’ve also tested the upgrade with a clean and freshly installed system, same issue occurred. If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 VPS …
