is it possible to host a vpn or a proxy on akamai servers and is there any available vpn services that host it servers on akamai
I tried googling but it throw in another whole direction
#Rahim, As far as i am aware akamai doesn't host vpn servers, but there are other CDN providers which do provide this feature.
If you are looking something within akamai then i suggest you contact the customer care, even though vpn server hosting might not be available but they will guide if you there are other approaches within akamai that you can use.
akamai doesn't do hosting at all, only CDN and cloud computing

I know by experience that with load balancers L7 we can redirect traffic to others endpoints if applications become unhealthy.
As Firebase Hosting is using CDN to deliver static content, is there a way to redirect traffic if this static content becomes unavailable?
I thought of using DNS rules that uses redirect but I am concerned about the propagation time that may be too much. (and that could even take more time then Google resolving the incident)
Is there a way to manage that with this service or should I switch to another kind of architecture?
This would depend on your DNS manager itself, Firebase Hosting is delivered via Fastly and if Fastly is down, a good ~30% of the internet is down in general. This was seen a few weeks ago when multiple social media sites and apps broke. As such, you should ensure your host is not on Fastly as the first condition.
From there, you would have to manage some basic logic through a 3rd party DNS manager. A popular one is Cloud Flare which allows the configuration of load balancer pools where if your primary pool is unavailable, you can connect to your backup pool (costs do apply)

Should I use HTTP or HTTPS to communicate between services on my virtual private network (VPC)? What are the risks (if any) of using HTTP in such scenario?
My naive reasoning is that given the inherent privacy of the network, HTTP should be suffice for internal communication between servers inside of said network. Am I wrong to make such assumption?
I've searched through GCloud VPC documentation, yet can't find anything regarding this question. I've also found this article on AWS HTTPS, yet again no indication as to whether one or other should be preferred.
I'd link up more sources, but I can not find any articles arguing for either.
As per my understanding, a VPC network isolates the traffic and puts some security measures in place that prevent your traffic from being seen from a different VPC. That being said, the security of the resources is a shared responsibility in cloud environments. In case there is a security breach inside GCP that allows someone to gain access to my VPC and sniff the traffic, if I'm using HTTPS, the communication is encrypted and I am adding another layer of security. Therefore, I would always go with the safest option (HTTPS).
I was just wondering if anyone knows how I could configure an Amazon Web Services server to be used by a Scrapy crawler as a proxy server? I don't want to get blacklisted by the websites I am crawling so I need to use proxy servers. I just am not sure how to turn the AWS server into a proxy server. Thank you!!
The easiest way to proxy your HTTP traffic through an EC2 instance, although not as safe as using TOR or an anonymous vpn, is to use tinyproxy. You can find a walkthrough here.
Note that scraping in such a way as to violate a website's terms of use or otherwise impact the functionality of their site can be a legal liability if you intentionally violate those terms as per Trespass to chattels.
Keep in mind that you pay for the traffic and that after too many recurring request from the same IP that IP will be banned.
Case
I own a singular VPS hosting account at Hostgator and also a shaired hosting account. This question is mostly intended to gain knowledge, so I would so much appreciate a good explanation than a how-to.
I truly apolagise for mentioning their name but I had to say it so that someone who knows has the required information to help me.
With any type of their accounts, an SSH login is provided but, only with VPS Hosting root access to the same is available.
What I want to do
I want to create a private tunnel to encrypt my browsing data between external servers and my home PC so that my ISP cannot modify or read the data that belong to me.
Question
If I have SSH supported by provider on the server side, does it mean that I have SOCKS5 too?
What else is needed for me to set-up my secure tunnel to find way out using my existing web server account?
If SOCKS5 doesnt come for shaired hosting servers for free or if its not possible, how can one use Socks5 with such servers and establish a secure connection?
SSH supports creating a SOCKS tunnel with the -D option. See http://wiki.vpslink.com/Instant_SOCKS_Proxy_over_SSH for for more details on how to use it. But, this will only be a SOCKS4, not a SOCKS5 tunnel, which means that DNS lookups still will be done outside the tunnel.
This probably sounds like an 'out-there' idea, but I would like to host non-HTTP services inside Azure Websites. I would like my code to be able to respond to FTP or SMTP requests on port 80, in addition to HTTP. Specifically, I would like to take in files from a net camera via FTP, process them, and store them in blob storage, etc. I'm aware I could do a VM, but Websites appeals to me because it is cheaper. Is this even possible?
At this point in time it is not possible to host protocols other than HTTP or Web Sockets in Azure Websites - now known as Azure Web Apps.
You can do it in Cloud Services or in VMs, but not in Web Apps.
