ok, dang. been right around daily past few days i'll keep watching it Anyone try using 2 factor authentication from: https://www.duosecurity.com/ Apparently they support SSH, RDP, Wordpress logins among other things ive repalced google auth with it yea, same here (replaced gauth w/duo) I just set up 2 factor on my ARP VPS and blogged about it: http://bit.ly/1mU8qSz http://bit.ly/1mU8qSz -> http://mhoran.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/setting-up-two-factor-authentication-on-freebsd/ It's pretty fantastic. Set up all my other hosts to require mh.com as a jumphost. neat neat Oh cool - last I'd heard of Duo, it wasn't free. free up to a point, i think and the free plan lacks some features, iirc Up to 10 users now https://www.duosecurity.com/editions does anyone know if VPSes still get setup on the weekends? ARP isn't "closed" on the weekends. Like weekdays, it's subject to staff availability. (afaik ARP isn't their "day job") ah ordered late Thursday. was just a little surprised not to see anything yet, but i understand it's the weekend ;-) Yeah, a bit unusual but not unheard of. Feel free to email-poke them. support@arpnetworks.com want to test drive a VPS to get a feel for the network before ordering a dedi i wonder if the VPS and the dedi can share a VLAN? They can, yes. sweet :) that'll go perfectly with my plan to put a xen center on the dedi and have the VPS be a VPN frontend for it Heck if you're feeling dangerous, you can QinQ between your VPN VPS and your dedi lol jumbo frames ahoy! JC_Denton: be aware the VPS network is limited to 100meg, where as the dedicated can use the full 1gig brycec: isn't totp fairly open that you don't have to use duo i think google authenticator or authy should work for basic totp without fallbacks like per-device push/sms mnathani: That's not 100% true, you can get put on a host with a GbE port Of course, upstream/Internet is still limited to 100Mbps hazardous: I use TOTP (and use the Authenticator app) just fine Been using it for awhile I'm quite happy with it hazardous: I haven't used Duo at all, so I can't speak for its "features" brycec: thats what I meant, Internet Network from a VPS is limited to 100Mbps http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/what-is-the-uplink-speed-of-a-vps VS Dedicated: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/dedicated-servers/about-the-dual-1-gbps-gige-nics-on-arp-metal-dedicated-servers Strictly, that doesn't say that Metal has 1GBps to the Internet... Just that they have GbE NICs and connections to the switches. up_the_irons: When you're around, would you kindly chime in on whether ARP Metal has 1gbps Internet connections? Judging from the order form, it seems like they come with 100 Mbps + 10,000 GB bandwidth by default, and can be upgraded to "100 Mbps unmetered" or "1 Gbps unmetered" Hm, sorry, actually I was making part of that up. It only says 10,000 GB bandwidth :/ all dedi's are on a 1 Gbps port up_the_irons: is arpnetworks.com on a VPS? ie, if I run wget -O /dev/null http://www.arpnetworks.com/100mb.bin should it reflect the 1Gbps connection? acf_: it's on a vps so it would not reflect 1 Gbps cool. thanks brycec: I used to have an ARP Metal server, and the Internet connection was gigabit. another d/c from my arp box hmm Thanks for chiming in, up_the_irons On both points Always wondered... [about the 100mb.bin speed] brycec: np up_the_irons: http://mirrors.arpnetworks.com/ << that has to be on a dedicated box ? as opposed to a VPS yes whats the *nix equivalent of setting up an SSH Tunnel to allow connections from other hosts as a SOCKS proxy I tried: ssh -D $LocalPort -p $sshPort $remotehostname i deleted all my rescomp tunnel aliases -.- Reading the man pages got me to the following command which worked: ssh -D $InternalIP:1080 -4p $sshport $RemoteSSHhostname jpalmer: How is your CentOS 7 immersion coming along?
