Can't get Valknut to work

Post by ziggy »

Hi,

I can connect using valknut but after the connected message there is nothing else. I am in active mode. I have enabled SSL for twofo. Im running ubuntu.

Thanks

Ziggy

Make sure you're connecting to hub.twofo.co.uk:4146.

You probably need to recompile dclib after applying the patch here:

If you can't recompile dclib, you'll need to setup stunnel instead.

That's policy hasn't really been made strongly officially, Zeus. I highly recommend people use stunnel only on campus though.

as u know, i just felt like being rude to cockmunch there, seeing as he uses stunnel for no reason.

If I didn't realise how it looked from the other side (i.e. everyone appearing as localhost), I'd be using stunnel too for encryption purposes.

It only encrypts the connection to the hub, not any actual transfers though

Indeedy - you can still tell exactly where you are connected to and everything
