SSH to VPN - Connect to VPN from web hosting
by Kago Kagichiri 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hi all, An app (MPrep) hosted in the US on a Bluehost.com Linux box with CPanel and access to SSH, would like to connect to Safaricom VPN, with my app (web-hosting box) acting as the VPN client. I have a public IP and an SSL certificate and the ability to execute SSH commands and open custom network ports to push and pull data. I am not a Linux expert but if pointed in the write direction I'll succeed. I would like to know more about the technicalities involved, specifically: 1. Is it possible to connect to a VPN from SSH on the hosting side? 2. If possible: How does one execute a HTTP connection via the tunnel? 3. If not possible: What are alternative options, other than moving to the Safaricom cloud? Kago Kagichiri. -- K. K.

Considering that very few people are using IE5 and IE6 at this time, its likely correct to say no one use it. Wonder even if they patch it? Seem unmaintained given the information we learned from this thread I think it they would be open to changing it considering none of the current browsers can use their site. What are they going to say downgrade to IE5 ? I seriously don't think there is anybody who can say that today unless they have been in a cave the last 5 years Muriithi > > Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage > > What you can try: > > Diagnose Connection Problems > [image: More information] <#>More information > > > > > On 24 September 2012 10:56, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> The system checks your browser and returns this message. >> >> KRA are the right ones to correct this, but does KRA ever listen to such >> input?

I have tried the same setup on linux and its working. What i'm i missing? Thanks. -- Regards, Sukali

Removing White Spaces in Exchange 2010 Mailbox .
by ckmurithi＠gmail.com 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hi , I have an Exchange Server 2010 which has a mailbox database of 320 GB handling about 40 Accounts . I have tried deleting and archiving files from the accounts but the Database is still getting bigger . My hard drive has only 20 GB of free space left and hence I have to get a solution asap . My question is it safer to Create a New database in a different partition and move the accounts there or should I de fragment the current database ? Thanks,Charles Sent from my BlackBerry®
