Cute, trusting cloudflare with your data

@Linux But they said: "We believe privacy is a right. We won't sell your data, ever." Surely we can trust them.

@Jilano is that the Indian train captcha with the lowest res photos I've seen that keeps popping up?

@Jilano makes sense now, I guess Indian smart cars won't be using 4K cameras. No wonder the images are shit.

@Linux How much trust does a ping need?

@saucyatom ssh to your vpn server, and test from there?

@saucyatom

Both

@magicMirror I'm trying to connect to the company VPN to access my work resources. I worked around it for now by remoting into another personal Windows computer 1000km away and connecting from there..

@saucyatom ok. I guess.

Reminds me of the days where I used 4 different ssh tunnels to get around the dumb ass Vpn-Work, work-sts vpn-other work, and other work-vpn to client system. Then add a line in the hosts file to https correctly....

The jr DevOps asks how I did that.

Do not ask questions. NEVER!

Seems like I finally found the issue. After trying a 100 things.

Seems like when I exported the openvpn config NetworkManager didn't care about writing the HMAC auth config line... So I set that (after getting hold of the original openvpn config file) and now it not only connects, but also lets traffic flow. Yay. Kill me.

@Jilano It worked for me in personal affairs, it might also work for my job. At least for that I'm still in the same timezone!
