Running a Proxy Server, Questions

$
0
0
So I have the goal of running my own proxy server off my home computer. Can be a Linux OS or Windows OS, whichever gets me where I need to go.

1. Need a solution that does not require tinkering with the home LAN router [controlled by ISP so I have no access].
2. Needs to be something I can connect to from outside my home network [is it possible with my #1 requirement?].
3. GUI setup/control preferred.

Anyone have any ideas? Again I can host this in Linux or my newly upgraded Windows 10, whichever has the program comparability for whatever will work.

Thanks!

I have several devices including a ubuntu computer, a windows pc, and an iphone, but only 1 wired connection. I have looked up how to turn my ubuntu computer into a hotspot using system settings and it works. But only with the iphone. My windows pc senses the hotspot, but when i click connect, it just keeps buffering. Is there some setting in the hotspot that will allow my windows pc to connect?

[ubuntu] Windows 10 Putty SSH Tunnel VNC To Ubuntu 14.04

$

so i reinstalled windows 10 on my main computer and i cant get my SSH tunnel to VNC into my ubuntu media server (it's running desktop)

i can SSH into it no problem but i can't get putty configured right and i've tried a number of tutorials but have failed. everything worked fine before the windows reinstall but i have the putty settings saved so i'm probably forgetting to click a box or maybe my port is off by one digit.


on the "server" side in ubuntu i'm just using the ubuntu desktop sharing instead of having VNC installed. i forget the real name of the program... remna? either way i was physically at the ubuntu machine today and couldn't figure out how to confirm which port it was listening on, but from what i read in forums it should be 5900 or 5901.


so in putty i type the url for my ubuntu machine (it's in a different city, have a noip.me for it), then goto SSH Tunnel and put port 5900 and destination 192.168.1.4:5900 (the internal ip of the ubuntu machine)

SSH gets me in fine but vnc won't connect when i tell it to connect localhost. what did i miss?

Can't open any ports

hello I'm hoping someone can help me. I've tried a bunch of solutions but nothing has worked. I recently upgraded Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04 and since then I've been unable to open any of my ports. The port I'm trying to open is 49995.
I've tried:
  • Allowing the ports in UFW
  • Adding the ports to iptables
  • Adding the ports to NAT tables
  • Flushing the iptables and starting from scratch
  • Turning off my UFW


sudo netstat -tulpn gives me

The software I'm running uses UPnP and can confirm that the port is being forwarded in on my router.
Can anyone help me figure this out?

vncserver problem: screen sharing

$
0
0
I'd like to use screen sharing via vncserver. I connect to a remote computer via ssh as a user, start a vnc server and then use a desktop viewer to connect to the vnc server. I then see the desktop of a remote computer, but instead of sharing the desktop with another person, who is locally logged in as a user, it seems I compete with him for using a computer. Say I start firefox and the other person is being told firefox is already running when he tries to start it. My goal is though to see exactly what the other person sees, i.e. to share a desktop with him. How can I achieve it?

New kernel appears to have broken WIRED networking.

Okay here's the lowdown:

1. I had Ubuntu 14.04 running, and all was well - wired networking purred along right outa tha box; but I started getting curious about the newfangled things in 15.04.
2. I didn't want to upgrade to 14.10 and then again to 15.04, I figured that was silly.
3. Whipped up a USB stick with unetbootin and a fresh ISO of Ubuntu 15.04.
4. From the stick, all was well. Networking worked, although I have to be honest that I don't remember consciously testing it. I _do_ remember it downloading some updates during the install. Probably the kernel.
5. Rebooted. Networking tries to connect over and over continually but never succeeds.

It should be noted that this problem is also occurring in the latest version of Sabayon which I have jammed into a small corner of one of my hard drives to see what all the fuss is about.

I searched online using Tha Googz on my phone for hours, and the consensus appears to be that there's something gooftastic about the kernel not playing nice with my particular NIC (and a few others). I am running kernel 3.19.025 generic (off the top of my head).

What I want to try:
I'd like to download an older kernel (I dunno, maybe go back one or two) onto a thumbdrive, and jam that baby into my Ubuntu 15.04. Or, if there's a new one that fixes this (assuming that the devgods know about it), let's try that one.

The problem is, I dunno how without networking (I like when apt does things for me). I am, of course, willing to try other things.

On the upside, I have an old version (13.10) stuck in a dark and forgotten corner of my hard drive which is what I am using right now. I have full access to the drives that contain my 15.04 install, so if there is a way to slip something in there, we could try that.

PS. We're not gonna discuss wireless on this machine. That's a whole different ballgame, and I'd rather not bother since this is a stationary machine.

[ubuntu] Must reboot to print

$
0
0
Recently I bought an HP Envy 4504 all-in-one for my home office. I've been really pleased with it -- very easy setup with our smart phones (1 iPhone, 1 Android) and my desktop running Ubuntu 14.04. Scanning and printing have worked very well, but printing doesn't work when my desktop is already up and running.

Normally I don't power up the printer until I need it -- every few days. I've discovered that if my desktop is already on, the printer appears in the printer System Settings and in Envision or acroread, but print jobs (even the System Settings test page) get stuck in the queue. If I reboot the desktop, then printing works again. I don't have this problem with the smart phones, so at the moment, I e-mail documents to myself and use my iPhone to send them to the printer. This is cool, but I'd love to learn how to make it work correctly on my desktop.

I assume something needs to be restarted or prodded. I've tried restarting the cups daemon, but the commands I've found on the internet don't work for me. If I use
Code:

sudo service cups restart
I get the message:

Code:

stop: Unknown job: cups
start: Unknown job: cups

I'm sure the solution must be simple, but I've had a helluva time trying to find information on this specific issue online. I appreciate any ideas from the more experienced sysadmins here -- many thanks in advance.

[ubuntu] Acer Extensa 5420 wireless problems with 14.04

I have the exact problem answered by WILD MAN for 11.04
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1777990
if WILD MAN is still watching he may be able to help.
If not I will expand on this post to make my problem more clear for others who might potentially help.

So I blindly followed the solution instructions except this is 14.04
The result was that the last instruction caused a hang up - the cursor never came back.
The last instruction was:
sudo modprobe 43

The following is the result of the first print outs:

HP 355 G2 Wifi keeps disconnecting 14.04

Hi, Newbie here, been running Ubuntu on my main desktop for a couple of month with no issues, installed 14.04 on a new laptop - HP 355 G2 - and I'm having a problem with wifi connectivity.
It connects on startup and stays connected for a few minutes then drops out. It says it's connected to my network but can't access any webpages or local devices. No issues with wired connection, that works fine.

I read the sticky first, I did this:
Code:

sudo apt-get update
and this:
Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then, I googled a bit more and tried this:
Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
That seemd to help a bit, it stayed connected for longer but not fixed.

I've run the script in the sticky, results below.
wireless-info.txt

The wifi card is a Realtek RTL8723BE

The full hardware spec is here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/.../201403-14879/

Really hoping someone can help, many thanks in advance.

I test the socks proxy with foxyproxy and works well.
If there is a easy way please tell me!

routing with two NICs

$

0
I have two network interfaces on a headless server. wlan0 and eth0. wlan0 is assigned a dynamic ip address from a wireless hotspot and is the access to the outside world. I would like to attach device(s) to eth0 and have non-local traffic on eth0 all be routed to wlan0.

What are the proper tools to set this up? I have looked at several posts and tried several methods, but before I get drowned in posting what failed, what is the correct direction?

Thanks,

Deron

open hardcoded intanet links to Windows network shares including "\" back slashes

$
0

I think this is more related to the OS than the internet browsers. But I have a couple Ubuntu computers on a Windows network. They access an INTRAnet page that has thousands of links directly to the local file shares located on Windows network.

Accessing from ubuntu's version of explorer works fine, it accesses windows network paths (\\server\folder\) I believe because fusesmb is installed.

But the issue is when clicking on the links on the intranet, the coded links on the intranet page look like this file://server/folder/file.pdf but Ubuntu reads it like File:///\server\folder\file.pdf and so it goes nowhere. Windows computers open the links just fine.

I don't know where to start for the issue. I have tried using an addon called filesystem links for mozilla firefox but it does not work.

Perhaps if there is a way for Ubuntu to covert those backslashes to forward slashes?

Open to any suggestions.

webcam w/ motion and remote access through web

I'm trying to set up a laptop with webcam so that I can access images from a remote connection. I have motion installed and have made modification to the motion.conf file. I can see images with http://localhost:8081/ in a bowser. Not sure how to enable the port forwarding using router’s external Internet IP address. I'm pretty sure my ISP is giving out address dynamically, but I should be able to set this up using the IP address at the time, and then leave it while I travel. I've used gufw a bit but don't know much about firewalls, rules, and ports. Here's the current rules.

Code:

sudo ufw status verbose
Code:

Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

To                        Action      From
--                        ------      ----
80/tcp                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere
80                        ALLOW IN    Anywhere
80/tcp (v6)                ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)
80 (v6)                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)

25,53,80,110,443/tcp      ALLOW OUT  Anywhere
25,53,80,110,443/tcp (v6)  ALLOW OUT  Anywhere (v6)

I'm guessing other rules need to be added to enable port forwarding and remote access to webcam images. I should add that a secure setup is desired.

[ubuntu] Symlinks work through Samba Fuse but not when mounted with mount.cifs?

$
0
0
I have a bunch of folders containing links, created by a script that makes human-readable (rather than numeric) file names for TV programs recorded by MythTV, e.g. /home/sean/TV/French News/2015-08-19 8.38 am - 1.mpg -> /media/tv/2030_20150818223800.mpg

/home/sean/TV is shared as "tv symlinks" (maybe I should simplify this?) on the server which is running Ubuntu 12.04 & Samba 3.6.3.
/media/tv is just the mount for the partition used by MythTV for recording, which is ext4

/etc/samba/smb.conf includes...
Code:

follow symlinks = yes
  wide links = yes
# default option "unix extensions = yes" disallows the above unless this is set
  allow insecure wide links = yes

On boxes running 14.04 if I have this share mounted like this...

Code:

//urania/tv\040symlinks /media/urania/TV cifs credentials=/blah/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,_netdev 0 0
...but the links appear to be broken. However if I just navigate to the network share using Nemo or Nautilus (i.e. mount it using fuse) the links are fine.

Anyone have an idea why this is so? The only clue I’ve come up with is that mount shows gvfsd-fuse using the nosuid option...

Code:

gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=sean)

noob fighting with Ubuntu 14.04 and ASUS PCE-N15

Hello all,

I'm hoping you can forgive my total cluelessness and help me with my Ubuntu install.

Installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a desktop computer that's three or four years old. The computer is in a different room than my home office and connects to the internet via an ASUS PCE-N15 wireless adapter.

When I was running Windows on the same box, the card worked just like it was supposed to. But after installing Ubuntu, it's gotten flaky. Sometimes it works for a relatively long time (over an hour) and other times, it only works for a few minutes. Whenever it stops, I need to restart the computer to get it working again. After a restart, I'm able to go online but only for a period of time. It quits again and I'm back to a restart.

I found the ASUS driver on ASUS' website but I'm so dumb with Linux/Ubuntu I don't know what do with it now that I've got it. I don't even know if installing a driver is the correct first step. I'm pretty much troubleshooting like I would a Windows machine and I don't know if that's wise or not.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wireless Stops When I Open Closed Laptop

I am running ubuntu 14.04 on an Asus X550CA. Sometimes I close my laptop when I go to sleep, or to put in my bag for travel.

Usually when I open it, all works, and the wifi resumes. Sometimes the wifi does not work. The symbol is replaced with a 'pie-shaped' triangle, and won't work unless I reboot.

Anyone know why this is? How can I keep it from happening?
