apropos man posted:Cheers. I had actually installed libselinux-python the other night when I tried it. It's still in my dnf history. This is the error I continually get: Oh I think I know what the problem is now. The algo script is trying to do everything in a virtualenv that it creates, but of course libselinux-python is not installed there nor is it available in PyPI so it can't be pip installed. Here's more info about it and apparently you can just copy some files and/or change a setting (both routes are on that page) but eh, I would just go with a Ubuntu VM instead of trying to hack around this.

I got it working by using an Ubuntu droplet to create the algo droplet. But then I found that Strongswan crashes on my Android phone when importing a certificate, due to my use of Lineage-OS instead of the stock ROM probably. I have given up.

Thermopyle posted:They added that somewhat recently and I'm too networking-stupid to figure out how to configure it. You could change your home network to use 192.168.2.xxx or whatever other third quartet you feel like. I think I can count the times I've seen anything other than .1.xxx on one hand.

THF13 posted:I saw it had split tunneling with options for excluding specific network subnets, wouldn't that solve it? I've heard of this (if it's the same thing as split horizon), and it sounds like it could help me use e.g. Universal Remote and browse the SMB share on my desktop while at home. If that's the case, do you have anywhere I can read up on how to make this work? Thermopyle's post about subnetting might help too.

Requests to your network bypass the vpn if you add the subnet mask to the "excluded subnets" setting for your certificate in strongswan.

Couldn't you use the OpenVPN for Android app? I think that lets you specify if you want local traffic sent over the VPN as well.

So how exactly do I connect to my vpn server with Fedora (25)? I installed NetworkManager-strongswan and NetwrkManager-strongswan-gnome but can't figure out how to configure it properly.

Hi I've been needing a VPN solution for a while and thought I would give algo a try. I got stuck maybe halfway through everything. I got to the part where my algo server was running basically. So I went to this link https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/client-windows.md to try and set up access to it through windows. I tried to follow the installations instructions but got confused. Steps 1-4 using Powershell had really confused me. I wasn't able to find the locations of the algo files either... if you can offer your advice I would appreciate it, I'll be trying to work on this this afternoon. edit: I managed to fix my issue after doing to my research into trusted certificates store. I'm happy to say algo works!\ was there a particular country I should have set my IP address as if I wanted to P2P file share? ) lets burn fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Oct 29, 2017 |

Algo is for making your internet connections on public WiFi safer, not for . Digital Ocean, Amazon, Microsoft, etc, are all going to throw you under the bus for pirating because their primary business comes from enterprise users and companies, not people paying $5/month. (I’m assuming this is what you mean by “p2p file sharing” because if it was 100% legal than why would you care what country? You’d just pick a data center physically close to you for the reduced bandwidth.)

I just don't like having these giant ISPs monitoring me.

Or encrypt it and then you don’t need a VPN?

or any number of VPNs that market themselves specifically for that purpose? (i.e. Mullvad, AirVPN, ProtonVPN) Edit: I've been using Algo for months, and it's really fantastic. I do a lot of work out of coffee shops, and it's good to know I'm using a VPN that I control, not just funneling everything I do into someone else's black hole. For those that are looking to circumvent censorship (something Algo specifically notes that it's not designed for), an alternative self-controlled option is Streisand. It's not as clean as Algo (it sets up a ton of poo poo besides just a VPN like a Tor relay, etc.), but it does include/do a bunch of stuff Algo doesn't. maduin fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Oct 30, 2017 |

Is anyone on the Android 8.1 Developer Preview running Algo via Strongswan (not that you have other choices)? It works fine on my 7.1.1 N6, and my N9 (whatever 7.1 stock it's running), but trying to get it running on 8.1 keeps failing to load the private key. Also, I can't get my OpenVPN profile to load in that app. I dug it out when the Algo bit didn't work, and I can't get OpenVPN to connect either. Anyone else having VPN issues? I guess I could reset and go back to 8.0 and try that. I was suspicious that my config from June might be the issue, so I redownloaded the Algo scripts and spun up a new droplet, it didn't behave any differently than the initial one. Thoughts?

Yeah, I unenrolled from the beta (wiping my phone), and on 8.0 Strongswan connects perfectly fine. Going to go with there's a VPN problem on the 8.1 preview. Good to know!

I've been meaning to do this for a while now but with my own home server instead of the , finally got round to it today Installed strongswan on my centos 7 box manually instead of actually using algo, but the result is the same My home network is piholed, so the adblocking side of things comes with the network It's a nice replacement for adguard on my phone now, as well as the other benefits of a vpn

The problem is I'm network dumb, linux dumb, and regular dumb, so I have no idea what else I need to do, if anything, to make sure that a) it doesn't get hacked, and b) I notice if it does. Lol I can't even SSH into the droplet my original droplet created ("Permission denied (publickey)") so I'm gonna walk away from this and re-read the documentation in a few hours to see the step(s) I no doubt missed or screwed up.

The whole point of algo is that it sets up a secure droplet for you, so now that you've done it you're done. You basically don't need to think about it again.
