DO NOT USE. Playground code for experimenting with. It may not build. If it builds it may not run.

VPN and DNS servers.

See sub folders for specific project details.

• Ubuntu
  • 12.04 - operating system for vpn server and dns server.
  • 14.04 - web site server (newer mono version)
• VPN
  • OpenVPN - VPN server software and can be used as client.
  • PPTP - Point to point tunneling protocol
• BIND 9 DNS - DNS and DSNsec server software.
• C#/.net5 - cross platform .net 5.
• AspNetCore -
  • nginx - web server
• Dapper ORM - Awesome micro orm
• MySql/Mariadb - Use with website to track user data, accounts, certs, etc.
• Vagrant - create and configure reproducible development and live environments.
  • Should also look into docker.io
  • Provision plugins available for aws, azure, and digital ocean
• Ansible - configuration management
  • Ansible on Windows not supported
• Bash - Easily manage ubuntu (linux) servers using bash shell scripts.
• Stripe - Process online payments
• Javascript

git clone https://github.com/majorsilence/vpn.git

• Install rider.

• Jenkins CI build server

Run the following command to start all vms.

vagrant up

To load only one vm specifiy the name of the vm from the vagrant file after the word up. For example:

vagrant up website
vagrant up vpnauthority

Can connect to running website on your local computer in your broswer with:

• http://localhost:8081

Run the following command to ssh into the virtual machine. Requires C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin is in your path on windows or if you are using linux that ssh is installed.

vagrant ssh

Run any of the three commands depending on what action you want.

vagrant suspend
vagrant halt
vagrant destroy

vagrant provision

vagrant reload --provision

Which will quickly restart your virtual machine, skipping the initial import step. The provision flag on the reload command instructs Vagrant to run the provisioners, since usually Vagrant will only do this on the first vagrant up command.

Run the following command to look for openvpn server errors

grep vpn /var/log/syslog

This is very useful if you had to add new configuration such as port forwarding.

vagrant halt
vagrant reload

This will shutdown the virtual machine, parse the vagrant file and apply all settings to the virtual machine but will not run the boostrap file again.

The open vpn client must be run as an admin for the connection to be established.

If site is not live (SiteInfo.LiveSite is false) it requires a beta key to sign up.

Use the --ask-pass option to use username and password instead of ssh key.

-f 10 parallelism level of 10 servers at once

ansible-playbook playbook.yml --ask-pass --user=majorvpn -i /path/to/hosts/file

https://github.com/vovimayhem/vagrant-guest_ansible

This should only be used in a dev environment. Do not use on live servers.

This involves an ugly hack to get ansible finding the scripts. In the vagrant file it copies the scripts and ansible files to the running folder.

Must install plugin as admin to use this.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-guest_ansible

If an error like the following occurs:

mariadb-server depends on mariadb-server-10.0 (= 10.0.15+maria-1~trusty)

It maybe because of a conflict between repositories. I remember the following. _ Mariadb does not work if universe or multiverse in sources _ But mono fast cgi requires universe. _ Will probably need to split into two different machines. _ Fix _ disable universe and multiverse _ upgrade mariadb _ enable universe and multiver _ reinstall mono fast-cgi if removed

For example you get the message. """ FATAL: no hosts matched or all hosts have already failed -- aborting """ If you have already created the vm and destroyed it and recreated you probably this is probably caused by a host idenfication change. SSH does not like it.

Test this out by running something like

ssh vagrant@192.168.40.4

If you get the remote host identifcation has changed warning, remove the host with the following command.

ssh-keygen -R 192.168.40.4
