Proxy.pac generator
I made a simple bash script that generates a proxy auto configuration file. The PAC file generated redirects all matching rules through the proxy. The only issue at the moment, is that, once the list gets big, it’s not very performance-friendly. Something I’ll try to fix in the coming days. I’m using this script to…

blog over ssl
Starting a SSL test on this domain as of today. Free cert by StartSSL. SSL is clearly the new hype, and this time I won’t be last to join it! 😉 Just going to check how much (if any) SSL slows down my site. Every http requests gets automatically rewritten to https.

Squid MRTG stats
I talked about MRTG stats for Squid in the past but apparently forgot to include the .mib file. So, here it is. Download this file and put it in /usr/share/squid/mib.txt. I don’t quite remember where I found that mib file. Probably included with Squid on Gentoo or the world wide web… But I couldn’t find…

MRTG and network interfaces
I tend to restart OpenVPN a lot due to config changes. As a result, this brings quite some issues to MRTG (or more precisely, SNMP), due to the fact tun devices change of ID. A while back, I found a quick fix for this; rename the interface targets from their respective ID to their name:…

Theme, blog, and stuff
As you noticed… Or perhaps didn’t notice, I’ve started using a new, simplistic theme a couple of days ago. Kinda thought it might be too simplistic (I’ve hidden the sidebar, there’s no search or archive, etc), but I started to, you know, get attached to it. So it’s here to stay, for a year or…

iRail slashdot effect
Only because stats are pretty awesome. The effects of my media attention a few days ago. I’ll give some more info than what can be seen here. And pretty happy I set up my nginx caching up a few weeks ago. MRTG traffic stats on vm1, my nginx caching server, of the first 2 days…

nginx reverse proxy with caching
Playing around and searching the web I enabled some decent caching now. Here are some stats: image+html and php. Note that the php on apache (recompiled each request, about 1.5-2sec between every request) versus the cached output has a huge difference. Difference between images and static text files aren’t that huge. Also note that nginx…

nginx reverse proxy IP
The issue with the wrong IP address being shown when using nginx as reverse proxy can easily be solved with mod_rpaf. cache.blog.tuinslak.org 85.234.196.237 – – [22/May/2010:16:33:46 +0200] “GET /2010/05/nginx-reverse-proxy/ HTTP/1.0” 200 6184 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.53 Safari/533.4” 1766 6503 vs cache.blog.tuinslak.org 85.12.6.171 – –…

nginx reverse proxy
I’ve been playing around a bit with nginx and its reverse proxy module. The “real” website is accessible here, whereas the cached version is here. I’m deliberately making a difference between cache.* and live.* as blog.tuinslak.* might move to the cached version lateron. The question, is it useful to reverse proxy this blog? No, probably…
