WhoWhatWhen
***jack_rip_vim has joined #arpnetworks [04:40]
jack_rip_vimanyone here? [04:43]
.... (idle for 17mn)
forgottensort of [05:00]
jack_rip_vimI need a vps server. but I don't know where I can get a good one. [05:01]
antjack_rip_vim: here: http://www.arpnetworks.com/vps [05:02]
jack_rip_vimI can't open the page [05:04]
antwhat's the error message? it works for me just fine [05:05]
jack_rip_vimI want to put a social network website. So the server must be best one.
NO error, just can't be open
[05:05]
anthm..well..according to your ip address you are in china. maybe the great firewall is blocking it because it's using encryption [05:06]
jack_rip_vimOK, Fine! how can i use your server.
?
[05:07]
anti have no idea. [05:08]
jack_rip_vimaws is too expensive
fuck firewall
[05:09]
antalso i guess if you intend to target chinese users with you social network you better host it inside china [05:13]
jack_rip_vimno,I want whole the world can enjoy my website.
I make a video chat website. and it is free. I want all the people can enjoy it.
I don't know if I can use ssh to connect to your server. can I have a try?
[05:14]
antyou can try to connect to 206.125.175.202 (that's my personal server at arp networks) [05:20]
jack_rip_vimlet me have a try.
it is ok.
the terminal ask me the password.
[05:21]
antstill the great firewall might terminate the connection after some time.. [05:25]
jack_rip_vimso maybe one day, the firewall will block the ip? [05:27]
anti think that's possible [05:28]
jack_rip_vimwhere is your vps-server location? [05:30]
antlos angeles
btw: i'm just an arp networks customer, i don't run the service
[05:31]
jack_rip_vimI can run it myself. [05:32]
antno, i mean i don't work for arp networks
(of course you can run your own vps)
[05:33]
jack_rip_vimOK!
How you feel about the server? I want to know more about it?
the page can be opened now. but show error 404.
[05:33]
antwell, it's reliable. that's pretty much all i want from a vps service
that's strange...maybe the 404 comes from the great firewall
[05:37]
jack_rip_vimI think maybe is DNS problem. [05:38]
antfor your reference:
www.arpnetworks.com has address 208.79.89.246
www.arpnetworks.com has IPv6 address 2607:f2f8:0:102::501
[05:39]
jack_rip_vimI ping the ip address. it is OK.
I can connect to it.
I think maybe I can order one to have a test. if one day the ip was blocked, then I make other plans.
now the big problems is, how can i make a order?
[05:40]
i think i need a vpn to solve this problem. [05:55]

JC_Dentonjack_rip_vim: you are likely being blocked by the Great Firewall [10:05]

mercutio"great?"
it's curious they'd block it, but arp does have https-only forced on
[11:02]
JC_Dentonit's the aphorism for it
great wall / great "fire"wall
[11:03]
mercutiooh right
i'm actually surprised the site would be blocked
[11:06]
antmaybe they just block everything that uses encryption [11:14]
mercutiothat's get neraly everything now
even thigns like wikipedia use encryption i think now?
[11:14]
mike-burnsopenbsd.org doesn't! That might be it. [11:15]
mercutioyeah wikipedia seems to force encryption
so this use https all the time thing got encouraed
[11:15]
antthere are lots of chinese clones of popular non-chinese websites in china, so i would guess that wikipedia might not be that important
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Wikipedia#China
[11:17]
BryceBotCensorship of Wikipedia :: Censorship of Wikipedia has occurred in several countries, including China, France, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Thailand, Tunisia, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan. Some instances are examples of widespread internet censorship in general that includes Wikipedia content. Others are indicative of measures to prevent the viewing of specific content deemed offensive. By country China Chinese.. [11:18]
mercutioahh
so it could be the https thing
[11:19]
anthowever china has their own certificate authority so they could just intercept https traffic by active mitm
hm..but that would get that ca removed from every browser...

mercutioit's ipv6 20th birthday [11:42]
mike-burnsMaybe someday IPv6 will make something of itself! [11:45]
mercutiowell it's up to 10% adoption apparently [11:45]
gizmoguylet me just check
$ ping6 google.com
64 bytes from syd09s01-in-x0e.1e100.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=27.0 ms
yes. v6 does still work in 2016
[11:47]
mercutiogoogle don't have ipv6 nameservers yet i think [11:48]
gizmoguyyou appear to be right :( [11:48]
mercutiothey don't even have any nameservers close to new zealand yet. [11:49]
gizmoguyI'm less concerned about that
my local resolver is pretty close
[11:49]
mercutiotrue, you'll usually get a cached result
i mostly find it curious that a company as big as google still isn't putting nameservers closer to users.
even with using low ttl's

mhoranI tunneled all my traffic through my arp VPS when I was in China last month.
The firewall is really crippling, but only for westerners.
Everything has been reimplemented behind the firewall.
But my employer uses Google Apps, which don't work in that country at all.
[15:26]
mnathani_mhoran: did you use openvpn, or ssh tunneling socks proxy? [15:31]
mhoranSsh socks tunneled through SSL via apache. [15:32]
mnathani_did DNS lookup get tunneled via the ARP vps also? [15:35]
...... (idle for 25mn)
mhoranYup
Firefox can do that for you

mercutiosocks can pass through hostname and port through the proxy
so that the whole thing is done on the other end
so it's also more efficient if you have a high latency link etc
[18:07]
mhoranAh.
Well I guess the Firefox proxy doesn't do that, because to get it to work behind the firewall I had to enable DNS tunneling via SOCKS.
Otherwise, nothing works.
[18:08]
mercutiooh
maybe it can do both
[18:09]
mhoranAnyway, I wouldn't trust DNS in China at all.
Better to just tunnel that.
[18:10]
mrsaintyeah china do run dns enforcing.. for the traffic.. soo their goverment dns-servers are the ones needed to be queried. [18:10]
mhorantwitter.com, for example, resolved to a DoD IP address... [18:10]
mrsaintI do openvpn over https when Im in china. works good.
and I go now on sunday for 2 weeks to china :( Luckily Volvo do have mpls network to sweden so we are outside the rules for china.. :)
[18:10]
mercutiolooks like you need socks5 rather than socks4 for names through it
i was playing with this socks proxy that used udt once
udt was this high bandwidth alternative protocol that gave faster speeds over the internet
although it seemed to kind of die in the water, and normal tcp/ip has improved since then
it was before tcp fast open and high initial window sizes etc were around
[18:11]
but i suspect that systems like that with encrpytion overlayed could probably perform pretty well from china [18:19]
