| Guest11 | Hi is this the right place to ask questions? | 03:04 |
|---|---|---|
| debdog | about devuan, yes | 03:09 |
| Guest11 | I've been having an issue where when I try to update my apt packages while connected to my VPN, it seems to fail to connect to deb.devuan.org. If I disconnect my VPN it works fine. I'm using IVPN so I tried running the command in a split tunnel but it seemed to fail to connect then too. Any advice? | 03:15 |
| Xenguy | Guest11, Just thinking out loud, but I assume it's either a routing or a DNS issue, generally | 03:28 |
| Xenguy | I assume your VPN operates fine in other respects | 03:29 |
| Guest11 | yes other than that everything works fine | 03:29 |
| Xenguy | Is there a firewall involved at all, on the VPN? | 03:35 |
| Guest11 | yes the VPN firewall is on. I can update my apt packages with the firewall off but I'd rather not have to do that | 03:37 |
| Xenguy | To be clear then, you can connect to deb.* on the VPN, when the firewall is deactivated? | 03:41 |
| Guest11 | yes | 03:42 |
| Xenguy | OK, so unless I'm hallucinated, the answer seems self-evident... | 03:43 |
| Xenguy | The firewall has some rule/config that is clobbering your apt update attempts | 03:43 |
| Xenguy | Strange, as I think that operation is just a straight HTTP connection, but there must be some blocker somewhere | 03:44 |
| Guest11 | I've not touched the firewall config at all, and I would have thought that split tunneling would get around it | 03:46 |
| Xenguy | I have no idea about that | 03:46 |
| Guest11 | I appreciate you trying to help | 03:46 |
| Xenguy | I think the fact that things work when the firewall is turned off is sufficient indication though | 03:46 |
| Xenguy | Happy to try : -) | 03:46 |
| Guest11 | I'll have to dig around a bit over the weekend and see if I can find a solution | 03:47 |
| Xenguy | Maybe have a look at the actual firewall rules? | 03:47 |
| Guest11 | yeah that's what I'm thinking of doing | 03:47 |
| Xenguy | Seems like a logical next step | 03:48 |
| Xenguy | I'm sure if anyone else has some ideas, they'll pipe up when they wake up | 03:48 |
| gnarface | Guest11: could the firewall be doing something weird to DNS perhaps? also, you're not using https in your sources.list are you? | 04:21 |
| ravehaver9000 | i just found out there's tor access to the devuan repos, having the time of my life lol (i love privacy) | 14:58 |
| ravehaver9000 | now that i think about it i really should set up the ceres repos too as well | 14:58 |
| ravehaver9000 | have yet to do so because ive limited access to root on my system but also not really | 14:59 |
| ravehaver9000 | its incomplete rn | 14:59 |
