openvpn over ipv6 patch

It's baaaack. :)

Thanks to the support from my employer as 20% project, I'm (back) working on openvpn support for ipv6 endpoints (aka udp6, tcp6).

You can find the initial re-release, over openvpn-2.1_rc19

(latest as of Sep'09) at:

http://github.com/jjo/openvpn-ipv6

, obviously available as a git repository but also as a patch

snapshots at:

I'm pretty happy with this release, it has passed my unittests for {loopback,remote}{udp,tcp}{4,6} and also -it's valgrind friendly ;)

Enjoy it ! ... I'll post it to openvpn-devel ~soon.

debian openssl bug

It has been blogged everywhere ... but the problem it's not the bug itself , "errare humanum est " ... and that's ~fair enough.

What's irritating --AGAIN!-- is Debian attitude of not feeding patches back upstream, specially when messing with such security sensitive packages, doing this would have effectively caught the bug and --albeit some deserved flame-- would have void the current situation.

By this arrogant attitude, they break the very power of FLOSS: collaboration, cross-fertilization, moooore eyes on your source.

Another thing to note: let's push against monocultures, that is: the more different distros and FLOSS OSes ... the better!

And now: something [not] completely different ...

Remotely loadable NIC firmware, what a good idea! ...

, for remotely creating an ad-hoc hardware-level firewall.

Ohh ... wait! now there are two firewalls (?), guess which will win =)
