First of all, I would like to thanks Ananjan Chaudhuri who contacted me an offered me a free electronic copy of this book for the review. The contact were really kind and professional !
As a bonus, he mentioned me that any reader that would like to review the book, can contact him to have access to an electronic copy !
About the book itself, it’s 100% what it’s supposed to be : A Cookbook and no more, no less
The book is organized in recipes that will cover most of the uses of OpenVPN and give concretes examples. For the review, I forced myself to follow it to configure a VPN connection for a customer and I had almost all the info required.
Obviously, you will need to know the basics of Networking, VPN’s and certificates but it’s certainly a resource I will keep in my toolbox to refresh my mind when I need it
Voilà, feel free to comment or contact me as usual if you need more info !
Just wanted to share with you that I am currently reading the OpenVPN 2 Cookbook from Packt and will be back with a quick review as soon as I’ve finished it.
I was used to use robocopy to backup my XP machine to the Qnap NAS and I was really missing rsync’s speed …
Now I finally have a working solution based on rsync with a really nice GUI provided by DeltaCopy and, most important for me, special character support (accents and so on) !!!
Steps are :
Allow remote Rsync server to back up data to NAS on the Qnap’s Remote Replication menu
Install DeltaCopy on your Windows Machine and configure your backup task (plus you can receive a log by mail, schedule the task, add rsync parameters, …)
Replace the cygwin.dll located in the DeltaCopy folder with the one found on Okisoft’s website (with UTF-8 support)
This major update to Process Monitor adds real-time TCP and UDP monitoring to its existing process, thread, DLL, file system and registry monitoring. You can now see the TCP and UDP activity processes performed, including the operation (e.g. connect, send, receive), local and remote IP addresses and DNS names, and operation transfer lengths. On Windows Vista, Process Monitor also collects thread stacks for network operations.
Very good tool when you need to troubleshoot file/registry access and now some netwoking issues !
The Citrix Escalation team is pleased to announce the new Citrix Symbol Server. The Citrix Symbol Server provides on-demand access to public Citrix symbol files from any machine connected to the Internet. Prior to the symbol server, public symbol packages had to be downloaded over the Internet and copied to the local computer before debugging could be performed. Additionally, customers routinely had to upload large dump files to Citrix’s FTP site before analysis could begin. We are excited to leverage this new resource to decrease problem resolution time and drive seamless cross-vendor collaboration.
Usage
To access debug symbols for the Citrix XenApp products – simply add the Citrix Symbol Server to the symbol path in your debugging tool of choice:
example: SRV*<your local symbol folder>*http://ctxsym.citrix.com/symbols
