  • VPN - LINUX and MIS

    From The Godfather@1337:3/132 to All on Saturday, October 21, 2023 19:08:54
    Hey Pro's!

    So apparently MIS has not been answering on my BBS for about a month which as soon as I disconnected my VPN *boom* it's working again.

    Am I losing it or can I not use VPN to surf the web on the same computer as the

































































































































































































































































































    BBS? OR ..... is there a setting I maybe have within the VPN that would cause this? I don't recall this being an issue in the past, BUT HEY it sure explains

































































































































































































































































































    why nobody had been calling :)

    Hows everyone doing by the way? Work good, families good?

    Take care,

    This happened to me also, I was using a VPN to surf the net and I couldn't receive calls. I turned off the VPN and I was able to.. This was before I was using a managed network, I haven't tried it since installing a managed network.


































































































































































































































































































    I know that wasn't much help but I just wanted you to know you are not the only
































































































































































































































































































    one it has happened to..

    Thanks Bucko. I do feel better now. I don't recall that being an issue in the
































































































































































































































































































    past but then again my BBS was on an RPI which is now on my main PC (Wanted Ubuntu / Mint). I guess I'll surf the net on my RPI now :) It's just so much slower than my other machines. Good to know it's not just me.

    When you ran the vpn up, it made all your internet bound traffic to be routed to a different end point and appear to be from a different IP, that IP wouldn't































































































































































































































































































    be associated with your domain therefore nothing would come through to your computer from outside as your vpn blocks traffic coming in while connected.

    You might be able to do split tunneling, depending on the vpn provider, what that means is you can choose which applications have the traffic going through the tunnel, and which applications you don't. I have windscribe vpn that I sometimes use, and that does split tunneling, so you can choose your browser to































































































































































































































































































    go through the vpn but leave other stuff untouched, you can also do it in reverse, so everything goes through the tunnel except certain apps, this would be what I would do in your case. everything but mystic.

    In honesty I wouldn't run the BBS on the same computer I use as a daily workhorse, but if you do you are limited to what you can and can't do with your































































































































































































































































































    daily computer if the BBS runs on it also.

    Hope this helps

    I'm sure others have already answered this, but depending on your VPN and the way you connect to it theres several solutions for this issue... basically, you'll tell yer VPN *not* to provide service for MIS and mystic, etc...

    If yer using a GUI app for your VPN these settings are often just in the settings/options menus - if yer using a service like Wireguard/OpenVPN, you can






























































































































































































































































































    do the same with config files...
