If anyone has the willingness, I have to complete an informational interview with someone in a technical position for a college assignment

emccue01:10:28

So brave volunteers welcome

qqq04:10:13

is there a good home router where it can be configured to tunnel all traffic from a remote server (say a digital ocean or aws ec2 account) ?

emccue04:10:47

I think some Cisco routers can put everything through a vpn

emccue04:10:15

Though I'm pretty sure that's not what you are asking

emccue04:10:40

If you are saying you want to route traffic FROM digital ocean or ec2

emccue04:10:31

Then your best bet is to configure that instance to send data to some server running on your ip

qqq04:10:37

I want the setup to be: home machine <-> home router <-> digital ocean / ec2 machine <-> rest of internet so this adds latency, but rest of internet sees DO/EC2 IP

tbaldridge04:10:51

that's pretty much a VPN

qqq04:10:51

it's basically like a "glorified ssh port forwarding"

emccue04:10:02

Yeah it's a VPN

qqq04:10:51

I was expecting it to be "run this cmd; get private key; add private key to home devices"

tbaldridge04:10:57

The server is hard to setup

tbaldridge04:10:28

the client isn't, so don't do the server part, go get a VPN account somewhere (I use PureVPN), and then they give you the creds you need to enter into your router

tbaldridge04:10:49

I have #3 on that list ^^ and it works really well.

emccue04:10:09

You can also use Amazon virtual private cloud

emccue04:10:24

It's a VPN service through ec2

tbaldridge04:10:25

Warning though, most video services (Hulu, Netflix, etc.) block VPN viewers

emccue04:10:37

Which matches your original spec

tbaldridge04:10:59

Yeah, but VPNs are about $9/mo, while a VPC costs as much as lighting stacks of money on fire on the sidewalk

emccue04:10:57

Sir, what I do with my piles of money and my fire is my business

qqq04:10:22

@tbaldridge: https://www.purevpn.com/order <-- where is the bandwidth / speed caps for purevpn ?

tbaldridge04:10:42

They don't really exist. I've pulled 5MB/sec (not mbit) over it before

tbaldridge04:10:05

I'm sure there's some limit somewhere, but I haven't hit it

tbaldridge04:10:21

I mean, you could do all this on your own, but the performance over a EC2 micro is going to be horrible, and anything higher than a micro is going to cost quite a bit to keep running.

emccue04:10:43

While I've got some people here, if one of you would mind helping with my post from 9pm it would be greatly appreciated

emccue04:10:22

Fantastic, would you mind if I DM'd you?

qqq07:10:50

what's recommended for "infix math notation -> sexp" for example, I want "(g-x*x)^2" --> (square (- g (* x x)))

Alex Miller (Clojure team)11:10:31

Incanter has a macro for this and if you search for "Clojure infix math" you'll find other libs
