ujust update my beloved

We all are until we aren’t. Good documentation goes a long way and gost has extensive documentation and examples for every option it has. It helped a lot in figuring out how to use the tool and I was very excited when I finally got it working!

Some pandemic-era research found that this even applies to cats sitting in squares (they will choose to sit in optical illusion “squares”). This NPR article has a feature image if you want to see it in action.

Not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic, but I’m not particularly smart on this matter, just persistent in trying to get things to work. I used to use rathole but came around to GOST as a replacement for several reasons. I don’t think Pangolin was around yet when I made the switch.

I rent a free tier oracle vm that does nothing more than tunnel traffic using GOST. Ports 80/443/25 and a control port that my homelab can connect to to establish the tunnel. No ports open at my house, public IP is the cloud VM, and the raw encrypted tcp traffic is tunneled through whatever NAT shenanigans my ISP might have and straight into Caddy within a docker (podman) network. I’m pretty happy with it and it works well!

It’s a single binary and can parse a config file or command line parameters. If I ever switch public VM providers, it’s a single binary download and a systemd service file. Switch my DNS records to the new VM and I’m completely done. And since my homelab establishes the connection to the VM’s port, I don’t have to reconfigure anything if I move buildings, switch providers, get stuck behind NAT, or can’t open ports.

Way too many comments for me to see if it’s been said already, but have you looked into cybersecurity, networking, and identity management? They’re all in the same realm and seem less prone to ai hype layoffs and such.

If you can put up with the (unending) bugs and performance issues, there really isn’t something that hits white like Star Citizen for me. A friend bought it for me but I would happily pay the minimum $45 when it finally releases in a stable and reliable playable state.
