Link: How To Set Up Tunlr DNS Under Linux To Access Netflix, Hulu, CBS, ABC, Pandora and More Outside The US

by Admin
Tunlr is a free DNS service that lets you use U.S.-based on-demand Internet streaming providers, such as Netflix, Hulu, CBS, MTV, ABC, Pandora and more, if you’re living outside the U.S. At the time I’m writing this article, Tunlr reports that the following streaming services are working:

  • US video streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, CBS, ABC, MTV, theWB, CW TV, Crackle, NBC, Fox, A&E TV, TV.com, Vevo, History, Logo TV, Crunchyroll, DramaFever, Discovery, Spike and VH1;
  • US audio streaming services: Pandora, Last.fm, IheartRadio, Rdio, MOG, Songza;
  • Non-US streaming services: BBC iPlayer (excluding live streams), iTV Player, NHL Gamecenter Live and TF1 Replay / WAT.tv (excluding “direct” stream).
In my test, Tunlr has worked as advertised, but there’s one issue: using Tunlr DNS permanently is not a good idea: for privacy/security reasons, speed and so on. Even the Tunlr FAQ page says you shouldn’t use the Tunlr DNS for every day web surfing. On Windows, there are some tools you can use to quickly switch the Tunlr DNS on/off, but there’s no such tool for Linux, so here’s how to properly use Tunlr under Linux.

Link: How to Setup your own Proxy Server for Free [Updated]

by Admin

Do a Google search like “proxy servers” and you’ll find dozens of PHP proxy scripts on the Internet that will help you create your own proxy servers in minutes for free. The only limitation with PHP based proxies is that they require a web server (to host and run the proxy scripts) and you also need a domain name that will act as an address for your proxy site.

If you don’t have a web domain or haven’t rented any server space, you can still create a personal proxy server for free and that too without requiring any technical knowledge.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to make unprivileged programs listen on privileged ports. The trick here is to make the unprivileged program to listen on an unprivileged port and redirect the privileged port to the unprivileged through iptables.

Link: NoMachine – An Advanced Remote Desktop Access Tool

by Admin

Working remotely is not a new thing for Linux Administrators. Especially when he/she is not in front of the server. Generally, the GUI is not installed by default on Linux servers. But there may some Linux Administrators who choose to install GUI on Linux servers.

When your server has a GUI, you may want to remote the server with full desktop experience. To do that you may install VNC Server on that server. In this article, we will cover about NoMachine as an alternate Remote Desktop Tool.

What is NoMachine

NoMachine is a remote desktop tool. Just like VNC. So what is the difference between NoMachine with the other? The most important factor is speed. The NX protocol provides near local speed responsiveness over high latency and low bandwidth links. So it feels like you were directly in front of your computer.

Links: My Raspberry Pi Powered ‘Personal Cloud’

by Admin

I literally have 500GB external USB drives strewn all over the place with multiple copies of multiple things and I have NO clues what is where. So when I sat down to list the things I wanted, I came up with the following:

  1. A central place in my Home Office to store all my backup, training videos, music, documents and pictures.
  2. Accessible by Macs, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8 RT and if possible on iOS.
  3. Low powered, always on, Uninterrupted Power Supply backed.
  4. Accessible over WiFi. All my machines are connected via WiFi and that includes my desktop. The only thing connected to the Router ‘was’ the printer. So my ‘Network Storage’ had to be available over wifi.

Link: A Raspberry Pi File and Print Server

by Admin

I was recently looking into the options to buy a living room “home server” to centralize certain services like file and print server, media server, etc.

It didn’t take me long to realize that for less money I could get a whole legion of small microcomputers that do the same work better and more securely; and use less energy while doing so.

This was of course the pretext to buy my first Raspberry Pi. A few more should follow… This article starts a little series explaining what I did and how I did it. Today, I will look at the first and simplest type of server …

Link: Raspberry Pi SOCKS 5 Proxy Server (AKA browse the web with an IP from a different country)

by Admin

This is a small tutorial, which will show you how to set up a local Raspberry to serve as a so-called SOCKS 5 proxy-server for your local network. The Raspberry itself will connect to a remote server, which will then make the requests to other Internet servers with it’s own IP, thus masquerading the original requestor’s.

All computers on your local network can be configured to connect to the Raspberry, so they all can share the same connection to the remote server.

by Admin

Why would you want to run a file server off a Raspberry Pi? Maybe you want a small server that is always on and low voltage. If you need something that you can send and recieve files to and from than this might be your solution. The Raspberry Pi is low voltage running at just 5.0V ±5%. This means that your server will end up costing you around $5 a year.

Link: Tunnel DNS through ssh -D socks proxy

by Admin

When using ssh -D to setup a socks proxy, DNS queries and DNS traffic are not sent through the ssh tunnel. However, with Firefox a config change can be made to send DNS traffic through the ssh tunnel. Here’s how it works!
