Hi all, I am currently in Japan trying to solve a difficult problem. Anyone with any advise/suggestions would be a godsend at this point.
Read-on for details. I am working with a university who are using a vb application which uses a horrible tcp winsocks library to do its communications. It is a psychology experiment designed to test for in group biases and is designed to be used between countries. We however have not had success getting it to connect and remain connected to a University we are participating with in China. (Sun tat ten in Guandong). I have tried varying combinations of openvpn, changing mtu and window sizes on either end. Using distributed routing networks such as tor with no luck. It appears that the International link the university is using is just really crap and pooled/throttled to hell (whereas they seem to have plenty of within China bandwidth) A solution is that we can run openvpn or another routing/proxying solution on an intermediary box between the two sites to Japan which has acceptable bandwidth and is not laggy as hell (I am getting upto 50000ms lag, connection drop, and while openvpn does an admirable job of keeping the link up/restablishing, the client/sever software does not deal). Is there a host/individual able to facilitate such a machine/? The option that we will have to resort to otherwise is using International Dialup. Which is not cost effective nor great. Basically we would need something which has a publically addressible IP and at least 2 tcp/udp port available to be forwarded/open. Preferably running some flavour of Linux with shell and Openvpn installable (Debian is my preffered choice, but I am familiar with most distros) It need not have huge amounts of bandwidth but a stablish 128kbit link to the world and as fast as possible within china would be great. We only need to run the experiement a few times a month, so this is not something that needs to be up all the time. Response required ASAP. Kind regards JoelW
