Traffic shaping with pfSense

10/03/2008 – 18:54

A while back I wrote a guide to traffic shaping with pfSense. The pfSense wiki got broken, so I’m re-publishing it here for posterity. There is at least some useful info about calculating required upload bandwidth for a given download speed. It is recommened that you use the Traffic Shaping Wizard to create a default [...]

Dephormation Firefox Add-On

10/03/2008 – 18:05

A new tool to fight Phorm: http://www.dephormation.org.uk/ This Firefox plug-in cannot stop Phorm from monitoring every web site you visit, reading your web mail (unless you use gmail via secure http) etc but it can at least mess up the tracking system. It’s a start. What is really needed is a program to randomly surf [...]

UK ISPs allowing Phorm fraudsters to track everyone!

08/03/2008 – 13:53

I was horrified when I read about Phorm. Virgin Media, BT and TalkTalk are teaming up with Phorm to track all web browsing on their networks. The tracking info will be used to spam subscribers with targeted ads. The privacy implications are mind bloggling… I have already written a few letters of complaint, but it [...]

Arguably, Hollywood is chruning out more more crap than ever these days, and internet connections are slowly getting faster meaning more piracy. It’s even [...]

Bypass the attack on Wikileaks

21/02/2008 – 10:25

Wikileaks.org is under attack, with the DNS entries being removed. You can still access the site from a number of alternate domains (such as http://www.wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks) or by changing to non-US controlled DNS servers (OpenDNS etc).

Online backup: ruined by crap proprietary software

03/01/2008 – 20:52

Why is it all online backup services demand you use crap proprietary software or a naff web interface? I have recently been looking around for a free online backup system to safeguard a few hundred megs of data. Just in case my house burns down and takes all my other backups with it. Unfortunately, they [...]

Optimising Windows for gigabit file sharing

01/01/2008 – 20:46

The default TCP/IP settings in Windows are not very good for gigabit networking, and seem to limit you to around 20MB/sec when transferring files. Even with pure TCP tests I couldn’t get over about 30MB/sec with the default. The solution is to increase the TCP Receive Window and enable Window Scaling. You can edit the [...]
