Anker Products
I don’t usually write reviews but I’ve just received my second Anker product – a USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (3ft).
I’ve got to say that the attention to detail that goes into Anker products (this one and the Anker Ultra Slim 4-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub I already own) is second to none.
NOTE: I wasn’t paid in any way for this, just a Anker fan
OpenVPN on CentOS 7
I’ve got OpenVPN installed on a CentOS 7 box. It’s configured as a routed IP tunnel (“tun”) as instead of an ethernet tunnel (“tap”).
It works great. Apart from one thing…
OpenVPN tries to start before the networking on the box is up…
This makes no sense to me. I’m not sure if it’s a systemd thing or something else.
In any case, if you have this problem, a restart of the OpenVPN service/daemon should do it:
systemctl stop openvpn@server.service systemctl start openvpn@server.service
To speed things up I wrapped this up in a handy script.
Problem solved.
