SSH managers on Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] RandomChain@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I really like Asbru and have been using it for a couple of years. I used Remmina for a little while but never liked its look and feel.

Not too much active development has been going on lately, sadly, but the latest version still works very well.

Changing Wireguard connection MTU on Linux app in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

Seems there is already a feature request open for this issue, please vote for it if it's relevant for you as well. https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/48509147-permanent-mtu-setting-for-wireguard-in-protonvpn

Changing Wireguard connection MTU on Linux app in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] RandomChain@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Well, in case anyone is interested, I found a way to workaround my problem.

I edited ../proton/vpn/backend/linux/networkmanager/protocol/wireguard/wireguard.py. Added mtu property to the Config class, then at the end of _set_wireguard_properties added this:

# Added by RandomChain - setting the MTU
logger.info(f'### RandomChain says: setting mtu to {wg_config.ipv4.mtu}')
wireguard_config.set_property(
    NM.SETTING_WIREGUARD_MTU,
    wg_config.ipv4.mtu
)

I know it's ugly and hacky, but it works for me. I should probably open a bug to be able to properly change it from the app settings.

Changing Wireguard connection MTU on Linux app (lemm.ee)
 

I'm using Pop!_OS 20.04. Until now I've been using wireguard conf files that I set up manually with nmcli and that works fine, but I though I'd give the linux app a try, mainly to be able to quickly switch servers without needing to download a new conf file each time.

My issue is I have to set the wireguard connection MTU to 1400 on my network. With the default value of 1420, connections are always timing out and I can't get any site loaded on Firefox. Now, I can run ip link set from terminal and change it after the app creates the proton0 interface, and that's a workaround, but is there some way to change the MTU parameter for all connections?

Maybe it still appears in /var/lib/dpkg/status? If it is, try deleting the entry from there.

RAID setup for Ubuntu media server in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] RandomChain@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I use openmediavault for my home NAS, it does all the heavy lifting for you with a nice GUI so you don't have to config everything yourself. I'd recommend checking it if you don't have a lot of experience with RAID setups or don't want to do manually.

Just please remember that RAID is not a backup solution, it's a redundancy solution. If you have data corruption on one side, it can copy itself to the other mirror and then you're screwed. If your media is important, keep a proper separate backup.
