I run a web server (Debian Squeeze on a VPS), and the graphs provided by the hosting company show consistently that around twice as much traffic is incoming to the server compared to the outgoing traffic.
I'm having trouble with getting local subnet traffic sent through a proxy. I've got some mobile testing devices on a subnet 192.168.0.0 and a web server on that also. For dev purposes, I need to inject some code. I'm using a proxy to do this. However the traffic that is local to the subnet (i.e. from a device, say 192.168.0.2 to the webserver 192.168.0.3) is not passing through the proxy server.
I understand that somebody would want to block incoming traffic as a general rule except for public resources. And I also understand that you could want to block all outgoing traffic except for certain external services.
But is there any serious security risk if I allow incoming traffic that represents responses to previous outgoing traffic, e.g. HTTP requests?
I am trying to reduce internet bandwidth consumption. I have installed squid as a transparent proxy server and it is currently getting all traffic from port 80. I am using the proxy_stats.gawk utility to generate reports. I am still only logging 1/4 of the traffic the ISP actually reports. Can i get all traffic on all other ports to go though the proxy as well. i.e. VOIP... How can i Achieve this?
I've got an Ubuntu 12.04 server running on Amazon's EC2 that runs a web crawling process. We're running into a problem where some of the webservers hosting the sites we need to crawl are blocking all EC2 IP addresses.
My brilliant idea was to tunnel outgoing HTTP requests through a VPN.
Hi all,
We are having a problem with traffic passing through our Squid proxy server, where by it is reducing the bandwidth of clients passing through it to 10% of that of clients NOT passing through it's proxy.
The ONLY function of this is URL filtering. There is no user management, reporting, bandwidth allocation etc on this.
I have a WoW server hosted on a Linux server. The problem is that I get a lot of DDOS attacks and I want to figure out a way of protecting my server.
So... Let's say that my server address is 111.111.111.1111:1234.
I rent a dedicated server from a hosting provider. I ran wireshark on my server so that I could see incoming HTTP traffic that was destined to my server.
Once I ran wireshark and filtered for HTTP I noticed a load of traffic, but most of it was not for stuff that was hosted on my server and had a destination IP address that was not mine, there were various source IP addresses.
Hi guys. I don't know if this really is the right forum for this, but since #! is running on Debian the solution should be easy to apply on a Ubuntu Server. I recently bought a NAS, Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2 to be more specific. I plan on using it mostly at home but I also wanna make it available for my friends. Therefor I wanna be able to monitor the traffic going in & out of my network.
