It seems like I have been introduced to GG-NAT or Large Scale NAT. "it makes it impossible to host services" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT Confirming.... To get out from behind CG-NAT you can either get a static IP, (triples this cost of the internet so no go), or use IPV6. I see unRaid is still not supporting IPV6. Assuming that unRaid gets IPV6 support, could this OpenVPN plugin offer support? I see that from version 2.3.0 there is full support for ipv6 in openvpn.

OK, the dynamic DNS is solved but I am having trouble connecting to the VPN server in China. I get no connection, and various other errors that seem to be related to no connectivity. Yet from the China office I can use my laptop to connect to another OpenVPN unRaid server in America without issue. How can I troubleshoot?? Possibly related issue Background: My China office dd-wrt router is setup with PPOE and gets a wan IP address that is different from the actual external IP address reported from whatismyip.org, or IP Echo Service Since this usually means a dual nat caused by another router in the modem, and could block VPN connectivity, I had China Telecom change out the fiber modem for another one, but still get this same 2 different WAN IP problem. They insist that the different IP problem is not from the modem. Is the 2 different WAN IP issue normal for PPOE connections in China? Likely I am missing something very simple and completely different. This is fiber here in China, and our offices connected with fiber in the USA always have the same IP address reported to the router even if we aren't using static IP addresses. both unRaid 6.1.9 & 6.2.b21 running 2.3.11 openvpnserver.

Installing dynamix file integrity has been giving these errors for several days now from China. Since github has been accessible again in China, this might be a real issue, not sure.... Or just China related (behind the GFWC) plugin: installing: https://raw.github.com/bergware/dynamix/master/unRAIDv6/dynamix.file.integrity.plg plugin: downloading https://raw.github.com/bergware/dynamix/master/unRAIDv6/dynamix.file.integrity.plg plugin: downloading: https://raw.github.com/bergware/dynamix/master/unRAIDv6/dynamix.file.integrity.plg ... done plugin: downloading: http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/a/inotify-tools-3.14-x86_64-1.txz ... failed (Invalid URL / Server error response) plugin: wget: http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/a/inotify-tools-3.14-x86_64-1.txz download failure (Invalid URL / Server error response)

And my external wan ip address seems to change on a daily basis with no power cycling of the modem or router. ...UGGGHH...

In China dynamic dns is blocked in almost all cases. Can I use the openvpn server without dynamic dns? When creating the .opvn file, it seems to put the dynamic dns in the server.opvn file. If I didn't have the dynamic dns being used, would it still work? Each time the wan ip address changes, would the .opvn file need to be recreated?

Even though http://tools.linuxserver.io/unraid-docker-templates.json is available today Here is what I'm getting today in China. An endless search in http://tower/Apps Total Found: Searching... Download of appfeed failed. Reverting to legacy mode Download of source file has failed I'm sure that tomorrow it will be different.

Sometimes less than 10 seconds and sometimes it takes minutes, and sometimes it times out. Not a lot of help I'm afraid. Sorry. Bottom line, the reliability of the greater World Wide Web to interact with the China web, is not good. The normal reaction from Chinese, when encountering these issues. "Oh, that is a slow foreign website" when in reality it is the Great Firewall that is to blame.

I just had a new fresh key with 6.1.8 on it, so I installed nerdpack from github by pasting the link. This worked fine. I then installed a few tools, perl screen etc, and it all tried to work. The package list populated as it is supposed to, and it then attempted to download the files necessary. However perl took over an hour to get to 10% downloaded, so I cancelled and grabbed it via my laptop over vpn, and put into the folder manually. This worked fine too. But the 6.2 server still continues to misbehave. No way will it populate the package list, forcing me to use the files you attached. I then downloaded the package files and installed them manually. The final install is now working on both, but there is something different with the way my 6.2 server behaved. The Great Firewall of China doesn't behave the same way every day. And there is something different between 6.1 and 6.2 for Nerdpack installation.

I can access github on my laptop once I activate my vpn. It's just my unRaid server that can't. Can I download and manually install the missing 6.2 files?

Don't sweat it tonight, but a more long solution for China would be nice to find. How can we make it work? I doubt linuxserver.io is blocked, but it might be. It is not, but it is painfully slow to come up.

Fail like this? plugin: installing: C:\Users\CapnSasha\Downloads\fix.common.problems.plg Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "" in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/scripts/plugin on line 213 plugin: xml parse error

I can bypass the great firewall via my vpn on my laptop, but my server can't yet. Can I download via laptop and install that way?

Absolutely nothing, nada, zilch The packages-desc file is one level lower. No packages.json anywhere not even in 6.1. The 6.1 folder has 23 txz files. How do I re-install the plugin if we don't have access to github?

This plugin won't install from China. Github must be blocked. Any other way to install it?

Hey Squid, do you know that your Community Applications doesn't work in China. It won't populate the list. Keeps searching and finding nothing. Google is blocked in China. Is that possibly what is wrong?

I have had NerdPack installed for over a year, and I just brought my server running 6.1.9 to China then upgraded to 6.2.b21. Nerdpack should show the list of tools, but now Nerdpack doesn't show any tools in the http://tower1/Settings/NerdPack When I go into my flash drive I have many things in the 6.1 directory \\tower1\flash\config\plugins\NerdPack\packages\6.1 but nothing in the 6.2 directory \\tower1\flash\config\plugins\NerdPack\packages\6.2 Pressing "Check for Updates" doesn't return anything. Since I am here in China, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/unRAID-plugins/master/plugins/NerdPack.plg is blocked for the Server. I can access google and all the other stuff via my laptop as I have a China Firewall jumping VPN installed but the server cannot. Might this be the problem? Can I populate the 6.2 directory manually?

Interesting... I'll have a look at that. Yes you have the keys to solving a lot of data issues using file integrity data. Statistics of many different kinds would be possible. 1 duplicate file analysis 2 show me different views of all my stuff 3 who knows. . . Now you may not want to create all these things. But creating an API to the file integrity extended attributes might enable all kinds of good things.

You guys just go ahead and do it. Sounds like an awesome project. It will work much better once we can run VM while unRaid has the array offline. At this point the above points are correct, but I too would like a stable pfsense running on unRaid. I hear limetech understands this need and is sympathetic. But not sure how far off always running VM's might be.

I hot swap drives in and out of my servers without stopping the array and without rebooting. Most of the time it works flawlessly. But I have had 2 cases when I was precleaning that unRaid was confused with drive names, and had a previous drive listed. What are the known hot swap issues?

This is a problem for me as well. I have an areca 1231 and 1280. My arecas were causing problems some months ago. When creating the raid 0 pair in areca, I had to edit and shorten the pair name removing the offending characters that areca insists on automatically creating as part of the name. There are no # in my areca raid pairs any longer. You can edit this in the areca software accessed during boot or by IP with a web browser later. I seem to recall this was an issue in the array as well as I use a raid 0 parity pair. I have had a spare raid 0 pair hanging out in UD for months now awaiting dual parity. (vb.grin) Thanks dlandon for fixing.

I have had this running for several weeks now. Yesterday I received a notification of unRAID file corruption: 07-02-2016 08:39 Notice [KIM] - bunker command Found 2 files with SHA256 hash key corruption However expanding message from the archived notifications page, it only lists one file as found not matching the SHA256 hash. SHA256 hash key mismatch, */mnt/disk1/downloads/Hash_Documentation/Hash process/IMG_2456.JPG is corrupted Does this archived notification only show 1 of the files corrupted? Here is the related log file from the plugins directory disks.export.20160208.bad.hash Shouldn't this stuff match?

Swapped the ports for 2 drives being pre cleared, and they both came through with no issues. I have no clue what that invalid integer error is either, but now it is gone simply by swapping a port.

Yeah, shame on me. I have used this before, and just installed it and tried to run it. We need to put a notice on page one that says. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + Stop Idiot ---- this has changed to a GUI + (you can find the GUI on the Settings Page) + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I just installed this on a brand new server. It installed way too fast. Didn't seem to download any of the big packages. So after downloading I tried a few of them. Bash doesn't like them like it does on my other server. (which is still running the 2015.12.07 version) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/unRAID-plugins/master/plugins/NerdPack.plg Here is what bash complains about.... root@Server1:/boot# screen -bash: screen: command not found root@Server1:/boot# iftop -bash: iftop: command not found root@Server1:/boot#
