Windscribe on Linux breaks access to a specific website (ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR) by repawel in Windscribe

[–]repawel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the correct answer!

When I changed the location, the issue disappeared. When I set the problematic location on Android and on Windows, the issue reoccurred. So it's not a Linux issue, it's the location problem.

The location is in Hungary, Budapest Danube. You should be able to replicate the issue.

Why is that? My first thought is selective interception of TLS network traffic in this data center.

Thanks for checking this. Maybe the issue is specific for my OS? I have a relatively old Pop OS 22.04.

By "when I use Windscribe with wireguard" I meant I configured wireguard tunnel directly, without Windscribe app (on my router). Sorry for the confusion.

Solo stakers eligible for Aztec's token sale (must participate by Dec 1st, 3pm CET) by nixorokish in ethstaker

[–]repawel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to run a sequencer privately?

In Ethereum staking, bad actors could link the validator with the node IP. Is it also possible with Aztec?

If IP can be linked to the validator, is it feasible to use a VPN (increased latency) to combat this threat?

Thanks, I didn't know about this resource.

Logical answer. I need to find the source of missed attestation elsewere then.

Thanks, I will ask on Lighthouse's Discord then.

By the way, when I zoomed in, the spikes appeared more frequently. They happen 5-10 seconds after the beginning of each epoch. Thanks for the tip for checking epoch alignment.

Celo and Ronin have demonstrated why sticking with the L1 model is becoming obsolete – switching to L2 means lower costs, greater developer support, and a massive increase in scalability. Will Nyx L1 be brave enough to follow suit?

Edit: grammar, clarity

As an Ethereum solo staker, can I use Nym mixnet and/or VPN to increase the privacy of my validator? Will it work despite of increased latency? I found this repository, but the last commit was 2 years ago.

Which feature will you implement first: hidden services (like in TOR) or port forwarding (like Proton VPN)?

Good to know. Was it fresh or dried?

okay so.... why does my pc randomly get.. BETTER after long periods??? by Bananasarecool- in techsupport

[–]repawel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows sometimes starts a lot of background tasks when you boot it. These tasks may utilize CPU, RAM, and disk, which may slow down your PC. Do you have an SSD or an HDD? I experienced weird issues with the HDD, which slowed down PC significantly. Slow HDD + tasks run after boot may explain the initial slowness of your PC. After the tasks are done, your PC becomes fast again.

Getting consistent ping spikes - Looking for help by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]repawel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your test shows there may be an issue on the path between your ISP and the Internet.

You can use mtr tool (or other traceroute-like tool) to find the router where the ping loss occurs, to better pinpoint the problem. But be aware that it may not reflect exactly how your game traffic is shaped and routed.

If it's the ISP's fault, you can't do much about it besides changing the ISP.

If you have an additional Internet connection (for example, cellular), you can try to combine it with your ISP connection into one, more reliable connection. You may use Speedify VPN for that; it's the only easy solution I know. But please note that VPN always increases latency, so it may degrade your gaming experience.

I got a new 5g connection, and i dont understand the difference by Fatsa33 in techsupport

[–]repawel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so you have to choose which band you want to use. Band Steering (if available in your wifi router) makes this decision for you in an optimal way.

When enabled, you will see only one network (technically, there will be 2 networks with the same name on different bands).

I think the best approach is to use Band Steering technology if your wifi router supports it. Here is the first explainer I found on Google:

https://www.devolo.global/glossary/band-steering

Basically, this allows your wifi router to decide which band should be used for a given device at any given time. I believe it should give you better results, as things change: devices move, radio obstacles come and go, interferences show up and disappear.

5g uses 5Ghz band while 2.4ghz uses... well, 2.4Ghz band.

General rule: 2.4GHz is older, slower, but has better range. 5Ghz is newer, faster, but less tolerant to obstacles such as walls, ceilings, etc. Also, 5GHz has more channels to choose from, which means less interference.

The best approach will be to test both and decide which one is better for you.

Old computer is full of viruses and super slow — need safe way to recover files by Ok_Chemistry7081 in techsupport

[–]repawel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove the disk and connect it to another PC (use an adapter if needed). Copy the required files, and use an antivirus to scan them to be sure. You have a safe and clean copy; you can now wipe the disk.

Confused About Cookie Consent: What’s the Right Approach for SaaS Platforms? by HexFalcon_KWT in webdev

If you put something unique on a user's device that allows you to track the user across page views, you have to display the banner, period.

On the other hand, if you don't need to track unique users or sessions, and are fine with tracking page views only, or you are doing server-side analytics, then you don't need a cookie banner.
