I need your help.
I have had to install the ZeroTier One client to be all together in one serv. But also the idea is to change our IP from ZeroTier to work more comfortably from home. From Windows it is quite easy because you go to system resources and modify it on the network. But in MacOs I have spent several days looking for how to change the private IP only of the ZeroTier. Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance
A ZeroTier IP address is virtual and is thus assigned from the network controller. In order to change this you need to log into your account at https://my.zerotier.com/, go to the Network tab and navigate to the network in question and edit the assigned addresses. Once edited the changes will propagate to the nodes on the network automatically.
In practice if you are not experienced with this sort of concept it is best to choose a managed routing scheme that works best for your scenario and let ZeroTier automatically assign addresses for you.

Chromebooks at a certain facility will not work with static IPs, and they have reserved IP addresses, but for some odd reason they will not grab those from the DCHP server. By toggling Configure IP address automatically off for a few seconds and back on, the Chromebook gets its reserved IP and works fine. In about 6-8 months we will be changing the entire network and resolving this issue, but in the meantime if I could create a shortcut method for the end users to be able to do this easily it would be a big stone out of my shoe...
I had forgotten I posted this. In order to resolve the issue, I did use "code" and "programming" to create a script that would do what I described above. So, it wasn't a networking question, it was a programming question.
I want to get and set network properties those one are in this picture by salt(If I want to be more specific salt-api).
Ubuntu network information
I know I can get some ip and netmask by salt.modules.network.interfaces and gateway from salt.modules.network.default_route and set network properties of windows machines by WIN_IP but I think there must be a better way.
Also I didn't find a way to gather dns of minions yet.
thanks in advance
This is more of a concept question than a code question, but I think someone will be able to explain it, anyhow.
I know that it is possible to blacklist/block an IP address from accessing a site, but how does this work if the user has a dynamic IP address? Wouldn't this mean that when the IP is renewed that user would be able to access the site under the new public IP?
Maybe I have the concept down wrong, but any information would be helpful.
Thanks!
If you are just wishing to block "nusisance users", as well as blocking their IP you could also place a Cookie on their machine to enforce the ban in their browser (then with each subsequent access attempt, block the new IP).
This, of course, would be fairly easy to circumvent, but ultimately there is no way for you to identify a visitor as they can very easily use a different connection, a different browser, or even a different physical device.
The best you can do is enforce bans against average nusisance visitors, and hope your website doesn't particularly attract that sort of person to begin with.
Yes that's what it means. It will be a different IP so you won't know that it's the same user. The only thing you can tell is that it is the same ISP. Which won't help you that much.
This is the exact reason that IP-blocking is easily circumvented. Even with you blocking all of their IPs, they could just use a proxy.
"Wouldn't this mean that when the IP is renewed that user would be able to access the site under the new public IP?"
Yes. Which is why when dynamically assigned IPs are blocked they're often blocked on a subnet basis rather than on an individual basis.
That also means that innocent parties get blacklisted.
Is it possible to connect to a Air app running on another machine via socket(assuming we know ip) or some other mechanism(which doesnt use Cirrus/stratus)? If it is can someone please help me on how?
Let me rephrase question, I dont want to connect to a server over socket. I would like to know if it is possible to connect from one AIR app on machine A to connect to another AIR app on machine B via sockets without cirrus. I'm not asking for someone else to do my work, I couldnt find any documentation or possibility of the above thing. My conclusion now is that it is not possible, but I would just like it to be verified by other people(experts).
Absolutely, as3 supports sockets. http://www.ultrashock.com/forum/viewthread/81676/
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/Socket.html?filter_flash=cs5&filter_flashplayer=10.2&filter_air=2.6
There are two ways to do it. One AIR app can act as a server by creating a ServerSocket object while the other app connects to this with the Socket class. The other way is to use the DatagramSocket class.
In both cases, the trick is that because of network access translation, the IP address to use is not always easily discoverable unless at least one of the computers has a static IP. If both computers are on the same network subnet you can look up the IP address needed to reach one computer from the other manually. Otherwise, the IP one computer must use to reach the other won't be the same IP that the computer sees for itself. This matchmaking is the service that stratus/cirrus provides.
See http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/ for a description of the problem.
OK, here goes:
I have a CentOS server set up to accept PPTP connections and tunnel the users traffic through my server.
I am sharing this with my friends and family, and everytime they want to connect they have to go into control panel, and connect to the network manually. To set up the network, they go through a wizzard that Windows has to set up a new VPN connection for them, and they put in the IP address, username and password.
I wanted to make a really simple client for them to use. When it's first installed and they click "Connect", the program must make the new network (like they were going through the wizard), and every time after that just swap over to use the VPN network. If they click "Disconnect", it will go back to using their regular LAN network.
I would ideally like to code this in .NET, as that is where I have a lot of experience, but I have no idea where to start.
Could anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe some code samples?
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. =]
Ah, much easier to understand - thanks for the clarification!
At the risk of sounding like I'm an OpenVPN fanatic, look at openvpn, particularly the Access Server here. I think you'll find it does exactly what you need.
OpenVPN is open source, so it's 100% code samples and as customizable as you like. (Be careful what you ask for! :-) )
Good luck!
