As hinted in the last post, Scummbox.org is running some new services.

To facilitate remote access to my network, OpenVPN has been installed. It was a cinch to install, and through some trial and error I have gotten additional routes passed through to access my home network range from any remote location.

Also installed was TinyProxy. This allows users connected to the VPN to (transparently!) access sites that may be blocked at their location.

A final new service running is GnuMP3d… A remote playlist/streaming client that is tucked behind the VPN to prevent rampant and unauthorized

This is being bashed out just minutes after cutting over from Old Pants (now Net) to New Pants (ex Net.)

The cutover was smooth-ish… aside from remote SSH access dying (thank god for VPN logins) and Apache forgetting it had PHP (a quick PHP recompile fixed that.) We’ll see if anything else has suffered during the move.

A lot of things have been re-arranged, due to the default set up of Apache 2.2. If you come across a link that doesn’t work, let me know… I’ll do my best to point you to the new link, or fix the issue.
