I was just talking to John actually. I'm using cryptostorm.io which is a token based VPN. It works with openvpn. John said you were using PIA, which seems good enough. <div><br /></div><div>Anyway, gotta do some work. Thanks for the t shirt links. </div><div><br /></div><div>And, yes, PayPal used to keep you logged in via a cookie when you bought something from eBay. I think they've sorted that fiasco out now, though. </div><div><br /></div><div>Neal. <br /><div><br /><br />6.

PayPal seems to be a necessary evil just now, I hope some system comes forward to usurp then. Especially after they tried to get Seafile to break EU law.<br /><blockquote>I've learned (and been burned) in the past that; after buying something<br />from eBay using PayPal it's best to go directly to the PayPal website<br />and make sure that you're logged out.</blockquote>Err...whut? Why? I've never done that. Is this a concern that some sneaky tab will attempt to reuse the session id?<br /><blockquote>Firefox password manager is disabled and when the password is piped<br />through from Keepass it's AES decrypted in the time it takes to be<br /> pumped into the browser login box.

It's still now working. On the laptop...all traffic gets routed over the VPN and things work.<br />On the Pi...no, it's a split-tunnel and things break. Grr....<br />In theory it's just a case of slapping "redirect-gateway" into the client conf, practice is somewhat different.<br />All the forum posts bang on about people "fixing" it with arcane iptable pre-routing mumbo-jumbo, which is just papering over the actual issue.<br /><br />Actually, is your VPN re-routing all traffic, including DNS? i.e. has it replaced the default gateway?<br />If not, could that be the cause of the problem?<br />"route" should tell you.<br /><br />Afraid I won't be able to help though, networking is a black art if you ask me.<br />Heck, the laptop ends up with two default gateways. Why? I don't know. It works though. Why? I don't know.<br /><br />-- <br />╔═════════════╦══════════════════════════════════════════╗<br />║ Jason Irwin ║ OpenPGP (GPG/PGP) Public Key: 0xD0C592B1 ║<br />║ ║ Import from hkp://pgp.mit.edu ║<br />╚═════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════╝<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Nottingham mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Nottingham@mailman.lug.org.uk" target="_blank">Nottingham@mailman.lug.org.uk</a><br /><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/nottingham" target="_blank">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/nottingham</a></blockquote></div></div> </body>
