Upgrade MariaDB Create a intranet with a Centmin Cluster and VPN funcion

Finally, I got a Centmin Cluster working with lsyncd and a mariadb galera cluster on 3 servers. It is in a testing fase, but everything seems to work. The servers are on different continents. Final target are more servers, but for the mariadb part I only needed 3 and for testing that is oke.

The setup of lsyncd was easy, I only use some parts of a server to sync. Most parts I took from an issue I found on GitHub. It actually simultaneous replicate files with multiple targets.

mariadb galera cluster works out of the box, only trick is to start the servers one by one and expanding it with an extra server is also easy, you only have to add the IP of the server in the existing servers and bring up the new one.

With Softether from the university of Tsubuka Japan you can create an Intranet with VPN functions. I followed many guides, but most of them are base on Ubuntu or Debian, but with a little adjustment I got the VPN part almost working. It gives me only some errors, but that is fine-tuning. https://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-...3_Install_on_Linux_and_Initial_Configurations.

And the IPtables part, that locked me out several times. But on every step that worked I made snapshots, so I did not lose too much work. I know if I log in I see the warning iptables -F locks you out. But some manuals do that without clear instructions.

The only difficult part now is to get the intranet working on 3 servers simultaneously.
I used most parts of this site http://www.programmersought.com/article/7339149815/ but the main part is in Chinese and that language characters I don't understand quite well. But the pictures give a bit on what to do. Only the interface is different, it got updated, so I have to guess what to press. Also, the link from http://www.programmersought.com has a menu with more man pages.

I don't know if anyone here knows someone with some experience in setting up a working intranet. Especially with the Softether VPN
If so, please do let me know.

 

Made some progress with the VPN and it is amazing what you can do with it.
I only run into troubles with the CSF firewall activated. At that moment it won't connect because to DHCP won't work. I already added many ports, IP's TCP/UPD in en out to the rules, but it's a no go. I have to do csf -x to get it working. SO I NEED SOME INFO ABOUT OUR CSF FIREWALL!!

Some examples you can do:
Did you connect to 2 VPN's simultaneously? Only if you use WireShark to analyze network traffic you get strange results.

Some options below:



It even works at a cellphone!


You can create as much as Virtual Hubs as needed, each with their settings. And Yes, the option Virtual NAT & DHCP works fine.


Nice welcome screen on login (*layout depends on client)

Even my adjusted maintenance page works
