I've got an AWS Workspace (Windows 10) running in N. Virginia and installed NordVPN on it.
I'm trying to use NordVPN to change my location so I can access certain geo-restricted websites in Chrome while on my Workspace.
When I turn on NordVPN and connect to Atlanta (for example), after a few minutes the Workspace status changes to "Unhealthy" and eventually disconnects automatically.
I believe this is because the AWS Workspaces monitoring service can no longer see my Workspace, and thinks it's offline or something.
I also tried to use NordVPN's "Split Tunnelling" feature to only protect traffic going through the Chrome Browser application, but as soon as I turn that on my Workspace is disconnected immediately requiring a reboot.
Is there any way I can configure my Workspace to allow the Workspace monitoring service to still reach my Workspace when the Workspace has a VPN connection? Or, has anyone been able to use a Workspace with NordVPN's Split Tunneling on the Chrome Browser application?
I also tried the NordVPN Chrome Extension, but that doesn't work either.
Thanks

I've installed xquartz on my OSX machine, and upon connecting to a remote server with ssh -X user#server.domain I'm able to launch gui windows (let's say Rstudio for example --I see the window show up on my screen even though it's running on the remote server -neato!).
What I'd like to do is create stable, persistent sessions to disconnect/reconnect to (i.e. close and re-open the same window with my environment and variables still there, instead of closing it and opening another one).
Hence, I'm using a tmux session from the terminal so that I can detach from my ssh connection to the server and connect back later. What I'd like to do then is re-launch the gui windows that I started from that session previously. Unfortunately, I don't know how to "store" or "detach" from the GUI windows once they are created --if I close them, then the unsaved data is deleted and the session is lost.
Is there a way to launch a persistent window from within ssh -X, and then "hide" that window, and re-open it after connecting again later?
Not sure if this will still help now but I'll put it here for posterity. For the specific RStudio case you'd be better off installing a server version of RStudio - either the paid RStudio Workbench or the free open-source version. The server versions provide the persistent sessions you're looking for, including for long-running jobs.
The open source version has a login, but all passwords are sent in unencrypted - don't expose it to the internet without other protections. In the open-source version you can only have one session per user.
Even without allowing access to the public internet you could forward port 8787 over ssh ( -L 8787:localhost:8787) & log into the remote RStudio Server instance from your local browser by visiting localhost:8787.
I have a WordPress site hosted on Google Cloud, and was working very well.
With no apparent motive, stoped working and I can't access to it, neither the front panel or admin panel.
I can't access via FTP o SSH console.
The VM on Google cloud still running as far as I can see.
Errors I get:
When trying to access de website on Google Chrome:
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
When trying to access FTP via FileZilla:
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server
When trying to access SSH:
Connection via Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy Failed Code: 4003 Reason:
failed to connect to backend You may be able to connect without using
the Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy.
i just want to update this issue.
The problem was that the memory quota.
I've increased the amounth of memory, restarted de VM and all went back to work.
Thanks
This page with SSH troubleshooting steps might be able to help you.
The issue could be solved by trying these troubleshooting steps. I think it is likely that the first one might be the cause of your issue since you mentioned it did work before.
Does the instance have a full disk? Try to expand it!
Is the firewall correctly setup, check your firewall rules and ensure that the default-allow-ssh rule is present.
Check your IAM permissions, do you have the roles required to connect to the VM?
Enable the serial console from your instance settings, connect and review the logs, they might give you some useful insights.
I've tried two methods to connect my Shiny app to a BigQuery table as its source data:
Hadley's bigrquery, and
Mark Edmondson's BigQueryR
They're both failing the same way, so it's clearly a DFU error.
In each case, when I execute the appropriate command to establish the authorized connection (gar_auth_service(json_file = /path/,scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery' and bq_auth(path = /path/, respectively), I get this:
This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect. Try:
Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
This error comes after what appears to be a normal Google login process in the browser. The error page is hosted at localhost:1410, if that's any help.
In the Console, I have:
Created a VM instance (Ubuntu 19)
Successfully installed R, RStudio, and Shiny
Successfully logged in to RStudio in my GCP instance (from the browser, obviously, using the Externa IP I reserved in GCP)
I've also already created a BigQuery table in the same project, and successfully connected to it from an R script on my local machine.
I'm trying to get that same R script to run grom my Google Compute Engine instance.
Have I provided enough details to ask for help? If not, let me know what else I should provide. I'm walking through teaching myself GCP right now, and I'm quite the novice.
Thanks!
To bypass this issue, try connecting to your Ubuntu 19 instance using Chrome Remote Desktop on your Compute Engine instance as documented here.
Chrome Remote Desktop allows you to remotely access applications with a graphical user interface from a local computer instead of using the External IP. For this approach, you don't need to open firewall ports, and you use your Google Account for authentication and authorization. I've tried and I was able to connect both Shiny Server and to the RStudio.
I have a Plone 4 site at http://tinakellyrussell.com/ However, when you go to the site, it stalls for a while and then times out. (This even happens when connecting via IP address, so it’s not a DNS issue.) It’s hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance, and if I connect via SSH and use “plonectl status” the result is:
instance: program running; pid=788
Restarting Plone (or the EC2 instance itself) doesn’t seem to help. It’s been running fine for years, I didn’t make any changes or updates when it started failing. I don’t know what the problem is :(
I have noticed that every time a VM is shout down and dealocate, as soon as it start up again a new network adapter is created with a # at the end of its name.
Some times our VM had connectivity issues when trying to access shared folders or even connecting to the AD. Did some research online an that was caused because of the ghost network adapters created every time a VM is turned off and on again.
To resolve those issues I had to go to the device manager (since I have only Windows machines), select to show hidden devices and then uninstall all ghost network adapters.
I need azure to stop creating those network adapters or get a tool or script to remove them every time the server is started.
Found this forum complaining about the same thing but no one answered it.
