    Hi,

    We are setting up Railgun on our new server but when we go to install the RailGun RPM it tries to install memcached as a dependency. How do I get around this since Centmin installs Memcached via source?

    You went with Cloudflare business plan at $200/month ?

    are these the Railgun install instructions Installation — Railgun 5.3.0 documentation ?

    just find the cloudflare repo .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and exclude memcached from the file

    example for /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo EPEL repo i excluded a few yum packages from [epel] group
    Code (Text):
    [epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
priority=3
exclude=varnish varnish-libs clamd clamav clamav-devel clamav-db galera nodejs

    so you do the same for cloudflare's repo .repo file
    Code (Text):
    exclude=memcached

    I did that but it still tries to install memcached.

    Code:
    [[email protected] /]# yum install railgun

    in that case just manually exclude it
    Code (Text):
    yum install railgun --exclude=memcached

    or add exclude=memcached line to existing one in /etc/yum.conf

    I did one with India. 9 seconds+ before and .740 seconds after lol

    I can enable and disable when needed to test later. Going to let it run for a week or so and monitor for any issues.

    ooooh very nice - price tag $200/month though !

    devtools timings from my browser from Australia for your forum index page and times are fast for what i normally see for USA based hosting

    For the last two years we have been paying mid $500 a month at ReliableSite for our dedicated server. Moving to OVH saved us over $200. We used the savings to improve the performance of the site ten fold for international visitors.

    That is how I justify it :)

    Ah, the perfect balance of performance and security it seems = cloudflare waf/ddos frontend + ovh ddos protection backend with excellent hardware + centmin mod lemp stack environment backend :D

    Quite possibly one of many configs I have thought about when Centmin Mod traffic gets to the stage of needing such a setup :) I am just hoping OVH rolls out their US west + east datacenters by then :D

    A bit off topic but there was a discussion about image proxy and leaking ip somewhere. I think that is our last leak to plug since we no longer pass ip address via email. Do you remember where it was talked about and the fix?

    see xenforo config variable $config['untrustedHttpClient'] at Config.php Options | XenForo and XF 1.5 - Untrusted Http Client

    You need to setup a HTTP proxy like tinyproxy or 3proxy on a ddos protected ip server. But you're already using OVH which has DDOS protection on it's ips anyway ;) But OVH DDOS protection is layer 3 and 4 and not web app layer 7 so might want to setup a separate DDOS protected ip server with the HTTP proxy setup. That's what i do for this forum with BuyVM.net DDOS protected VPS and Gre tunnel setup between that VPS and my Linode VPS and install HTTP proxy on buyvm ddos protected server.

    So if I am reading this right, you technically don't need a DDOS server to run the Tinyproxy on? It just means that with it setup using the config variable above, that the proxy ip will be revealed and that is the ip that will be vulnerable. Which when it is ddos it will take down your proxy images only?

    Yup exactly, HTTP proxy defined by untrustedHttpClient xenforo config.php config will leak that remote server's IP instead :)

    So I can set TinyProxy up on the same server as my LEMP stack, buy a new ip address and then use the new ip for TinyProxy?

    Ok I am going to do a test with Digital Ocean. From what I can tell, the only time the proxy will be used is when the image proxy downloads the image from the original source. After that, the image is on our server and then being served via CloudFlare?

    you could be would defeat the purpose somewhat as you want the leaked IP address that will be attacked to not bring down your live site/forum server :)
