Would you like to know why I get a lot of action at night?

I've been up all night, doing the business like hammer and tongs, going at it again and again. I can be relentless when I'm on the job – a man of action and drama. Of course, there are things I'd rather be doing than trying to get all my work prepared the night before I set off on a business trip. For example, going to bed …

UDP VPN

try a few VPNs. Most support UDP. VPNs are cheap as chips these days, and in the new Riech, it's a finger up to Herr May anyway which is a good enough reason to always use one imho.

I can personally recommend nordVPN - comes with apps for mobile and mac, etc and allows you to easily pick server based on speed or geo, and also does fancy shit that lets you access netflix USA if that's your thang.

I've found most restricted internet have no problem with it - probably because most of the arseholes setting up the rules don't even know what UDP is...not tried with virgin, but worked on recent national express bus, and I've used in various witherspoons and airports all with complete success.

Frankly if it's open wifi (and all these hotspots are) you'd be mental to not use a VPN anyhoo as all your shit is being broadcast out to all and sundry unless you have total confidence it's all being sent over HTTPS.

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: UDP VPN

Please don't use the word 'anyhoo'.

[jjcoolaus]

Re: UDP VPN

I've found several open wifi hotspots in airports but also in corporate environments that block UDP VPNs

TCP VPNs on the other hand, usually do work fine. I've never come across a network block I couldn't get around, however, note that the lack of speed can be a real issue in some situations. For downloading small files though, it's fine.

The "client VPN" referred to in the article is probably using dead technology like IPSEC or L2TP or PPTP

That's easily blocked. Microsoft's SSTP and OpenVPN are designed to work over ports that usually open like 443 and 80. It's very difficult, even for China, Syria, and the UAE, to block these.

I've often thought a piece of burning paper tossed in through the open window would be enough.

The EMP gives larger deniability though. Just don't use it too often.. Although Dr Who fans would know to beam microwaves at a small spot in the roadway so it heats up a little, and pop out and dig into it a little each night so the pothole oddly grows larger as each day passes...

I think EMP would have issues with the metal shell surrounding most cars, but it could be fun to try, just for the educational purposes of building such a device and triggering it.. I have a, er, very close friend shall we say, who, well.. He wants to donate his car to the cause, so we can see what effects such a device would have. He even wants to do it in a manner where he will be completely surprised when it happens. Just so you know it's him and it's OK to fire an EMP device at his car, he drives around with horrible noises blaring from his stereo. Just bear in mind that the EMP may have some temporary ill effects on his cognitive skills and he may actually forget how willing he is for this to be done, and that he knows me at all... ;)

I also apologise for the incessant sneezing. You'd think I was doing it just to spoil the peace and quiet of public transport.

All in all I'm a pretty sorry state during the summer. Banging headache, runny nose, itchy throat, sneezing. But as long as I can share this in some small way with my fellow travellers then I suppose things aren't that bad.

I have tried loads of branded, unbranded and prescribed antihistamines - I now have to take a prescribed ones for about 8 months of the year to keep my hayfever at bay at least a little. This in the height of the season is supplemented by 2 more types to layer the defences. So I can function, mostly.

Yeah they exist but like our current political opposition they can be damn ineffectual at actually doing their job.

What helped me was acupuncture. I had been through trying various tablets with no success - the best thing I could say about homeopathic remedies was that they had a nicer taste to conventional tablets.

Anyhoo, I went to one of these hippy health places for an allergy test as I never could say what I was allergic too, and they recommended a couple of sessions of acupuncture. One of the first sessions, I had a needle put in my lower back (no pain) but felt so light headed that I was going to pass out.

It already has one: caring. You're in the middle of people who solve problems for a living. Granted, they're not very good at taking into account that the subject in question probably already has gone through all of the suggestions, but at least they try to help which I consider as very positive.

Oh, and by the way, I used to have the same problem in my youth but it wasn't confined to "just" hay fever (in quotes because hay fever is nothing to be .. no, wait, let me rephrase that, it's seriously not fun to suffer from) - I had allergies to pets, dust (mites), tax collectors - it was quite a list.. I had the benefit of a long subcutaneous desensitisation programme (this takes a few years) but I've been given to understand that this is rarely done nowadays due to cost concerns. And the tax collector allergy remains.

Personally I hope people find solutions for it because I've been there and it sucks.

This why I try to avoid cloud services as much as possible and get pissed off by the so-called free WiFi. If it works at all, it's almost always artificially limited in some way such as port blocking, speed limiting or even limited by time from log-on and you get kicked off after an hour.

There seems to be a massive disconnect between device and app providers who see WiFi as a massive selling point, and the actual WiFi providers who see it as something they must begrudgingly provide in the most crippled and least-cost way possible. (not to mention the complex sign-up procedures they all seem to require asking for all your personal data)

Train wi-fi reminds me of the time many years ago when such things were being mooted. We set up a demonstration on a train parked at a platform - specially driven in just for us to play with for the day. We even had it moved a little bit - boys' toys.

The wi-fi link went from the train to a repeater that was fixed to a wall by duct tape - with the actual internet connection using a directional aerial in an office window several storeys above us. One of us stood guard over the repeater - which we had borrowed from a specialist supplier - just in case someone passing decided to nick it.

The outcome was that it was feasible for wi-fi to work while the train was in a station - but it would need a lot of line-side cell infrastructure to support a continuous connection. It was therefore only being considered for localised advertisements/information on a carriage screen. The prevalence of passenger laptops with wi-fi was yet to come. The only power socket in the carriage was intended for the cleaners - and was not available for passengers to use.

A low throughput 433MHz national network was also demonstrated for en route ticket sales to get credit card verification.

The display screen was a huge plasma job the salesman had borrowed from somewhere. After the demo we gave him a hand to move it up a flight of stairs. Wouldn't have let him do that if we had seen in a crystal ball that he would drop down dead with a heart attack not long afterwards.

I don't know why you got a downvote, because you're exactly right. The technical term for it is "slotted line antenna", and it's essentially a length of coaxial cable with a slot or windows cut through the outer conductor. It's usually used to provide RF service in tunnels.

[Martin Summers]

A down vote is absolutely fine if someone disagrees with your point. However on a technical point it would be nice to know why someone thinks you're wrong. It is good to learn. Thank you for affirming that it wouldn't be the worst of ideas. I know they do this in the channel tunnel and realise it's a bit different in the open but I'd have thought no worse than having base stations all along the track. I suppose there are frequency planning considerations with mobile operators doing that but who is to say the train operators have to use mobile frequencies for their WiFi service backhaul.

PiVPN for easy DIY-VPN

As I recall, the last time I used Virgin East Coast, I was able to get in to an OpenVPN running at home on a Raspberry Pi, just on the default port. (I also don't think they block the port for SSH.)

But they certainly do block some hostnames involved in many commercial VPN-for-anonymity providers (including proxy.sh for damn sure).

http://pivpn.io has a lovely script for easy hand-holding install and setup of OpenVPN on the Raspbian distro. They say to pipe it straight from curl into bash, but it's probably a far better idea to download it with wget, eyeball it for nasties (it looks ok given my very limited skillz) and then run it.

This is also damn handy for accessing any at-home resources you don't wish to expose via port-forwarding. Which, IMHO, should be absolutely everything - apart from your OpenVPN service, of course.

[chuckufarley]

@Alistair Dabbs -- Repurposing Known Ports

In the past I have set up a Linux (Mint) VM with sshd configured with X11 forwarding enabled and listening for connections on port 443. After all, no network admin in their right mind would block HTTPS, right? Also since port 443 is encrypted traffic anyway no one will look to closely at another connection even if it's using much stronger encryption (say at least a 4096 bit RSA2 keypair with a strong passphrase).

When I was unable to access what I wanted I would simply ssh (via bash or PuTTY) into my VM and fire up x11vnc telling it to tunnel the connection to port 5901 on my local machine. On the local host I then launched my VNC viewer and told it to connect to localhost:5901 and I had access to my VM desktop and (more importantly) my home network connection. I could then download what I wanted to the VM and then transfer it to my local machine via sftp or scp.

I hope that helps on future trips.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and don't forget to forward port 443 to the ip address of the VM on your home router.
