How to enable VPN over ICMP / DNS in SoftEther VPN

Or where is the damn VPN over ICMP / DNS setting in SoftEther Because the infrequent times I need to install a SoftEther server I seem to waste half an hour trying to locate this setting. BUT, it's already enabled by default. Well enjoy this tip and if this has helped do thank me by following me on twitter @danielsokolows .

CloudAtCost Buyer Beware

March 14, 2014 Update - I have sold am selling my 'Developer 3' for life instance See performance stats below and email me at 'cloudatcost-dev3-for-sale [at] danols.com' if interested. Below is latest performance snapshot - it's usable but not for what I need. Make me an offer in the comment section, the first reasonable amount will be accepted and we'll use a paypal for the transaction. oot@debian7:~# . test-linode.sh $ openssl speed sha1 ... type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes sha1 34431.17k 90492.32k 200161.54k 303043.38k 328540.16k $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=5k oflag=dsync && rm test 5120+0 records in 5120+0 records out 335544320 bytes (336 MB) copied, 84.5891 s, 4.0 MB/s ...

Starbound Dedicated Server Setup

Setting up persistent Starbound on Debian Starbound is a Terraria survival/build like game set in space. Based on watching few videos and playing it for a bit I concluded that except for the over abundant life and loot on every planet this game appeals to me very much. And so along with my minecraft.danols.com server I have decided to run a starbound.danols.com 24/7 dedicated one for Starbound; below is how I did it. Get a dedicated Debian linux server If you don't have yet a linux server I recommend going with Linode Xen VPS hosting - the basic first package will suffice. I have been with them for over 5 years now and can not say enough good things about them. Yes, there are chepaer alternatives out there but heed the warning that you get what you pay for. With the basic package I am able to run a Freeswtich VOIP server, Minecraft, email, and few websites. Their setup instructions are solid so use that to provision a Debian 7 instance.
