I know using ATMs oversees and disbursing your home currency (such as dollars, euros, etc) typically results in bank charging crazy conversion fee. But what about cash advance at a bank like Freedom Bank, where they have dollars on hand in the bank. If I go to teller, give them US debit card, ask for $5000, is the cost of the transaction literally just whatever my US bank would charge (which in my case is 0)?

Hi, I see in settings various ports such as Open VPN, Shadow Socks, Cloak. For any port number I see in various protocol settings do I need to ensure the port is open on my server or are some of them just for outgoing ports or local internal networking? I know that the wg port needs to be open, same with, say, 443 for cloak, but just not sure about the others.

thanks

Hi, on left side, if I do front raise (even with no weight) I hear/feel click and it is not so clear where it comes from but perhaps from left shoulder blade.

That said, I feel like I have some interconnected situation among shoulder, neck, upper back. I took hard fall on ice several months ago, where upper back took the full impact. Ever since then I feel tightness among shoulder, upper back, and neck.

Anyway, if I raise arm for front raise I hear this click at the point where arm is perpendicular to body. If I do the raise with left arm now somewhat in front of my chest there is no click. Likewise if I move my arm so that it it getting closer and closer to lateral raise position, then the click goes away. That is, this click happens in very specific physiological situation.

It is typically not associated with pain. But... I also notice doing front raises sometimes a sharp pain that seems to be in middle of where arm and shoulder meet. No pain doing shoulder presses, and lateral raises do not produce this pain. This pain only happens during certain types of rotational movements, also sometimes during movements like if you mimic baseball pitcher throwing.

Just curious if anyone has experienced something similar or has insights.

I lift fairly heavy on bench (well, for body weight 87 kg I do heavy singles 140-145 kg once a month), standing overhead press also pretty heavy for my size (70 kg 3 sets of 8 maybe once a month). But I am pretty sure form/technique is good. That's why it is very hard to know is the issue from lifting, or may me having taken a fall created some weird dynamic among shoulder, upper back, neck. Xrays don't show anything, but I know, MRT would be needed for something informative. Should I get MRT for something like this?

thanks!

Hi, I use VPN client (Amnezia) which installs its needed server side software on my droplet. It installs in containers.

I also have cloud firewall enabled, where I added incoming rules for any ports that I need to work.

Will Fail2Ban not work correctly with network requests to a container installed service?

I ask this because I recently learned that Containers live in their own security world, where they even override your ufw rules.

thanks

Hi,using self hosting. I see subnet is 10.8.1.0 by default. On my VPN I have private IP of form 10.x.x.x. Should I set the VPN subnet to be this private IP or does it not matter?

thanks

Hi, I juust installed v2rayng on my android phone. Shared the Xray config from Amnezia VPN client, but if I paste into v2rayng it says failure.

What does one need to do such that a v2ray client can make a connection using the Amnezia installed Xray config on a self hosted server?

By the way, I am asking because over mobile internet I can no longer make SSH connection to my server and I read that trying SSH connection over a LESS connection could work.

thanks

Hi, recently there was an interesting post about using a proxy in front of Amnezia:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AmneziaVPN/comments/1u2wodn/taking_amneziawg_traffic_obfuscation_to_the_next/

The creator points to a git location. He has an amnezia awg installer, as well as proxy installer. The proxy installer looks for existing amneziawg install. But because Amnezia VPN client installs protocols to Docker containers, the proxy installer won't see the install, since it looks for a non Docker install as far as I can tell. The installer for the proxy contains this:

check_awg_binary() {
    local awg_bin
    awg_bin="$(command -v awg 2>/dev/null)"
    if [[ -z "${awg_bin}" || ! -x "${awg_bin}" ]]; then
        die "AWG binary not found in PATH or is not executable.
Install AmneziaWG first (https://github.com/wiresock/amneziawg-install)."
    fi
    info "AWG binary: ${awg_bin}"
}

Based on that I see it will think I don't have awg 2 installed.

So does anyone have a clue how you would get this proxy installed in Docker so that the proxy install script sees that awg 2 is indeed installed?

Or, if I forget about Docker, and just install the proxy, what sort of magic with networking and ports would I do in Ubuntu if I wanted to just run the proxy install script and then have that proxy and the existing Docker instance of awg 2 work together properly?

thanks!

Hi,

On my Digital Ocean Droplet running Ubuntu 24 I see 3 containers if I run docker ps.

I am trying to install another package that will run in this same environment, such that when I run docker ps I will see 4 entries.

I have a .sh file that installs the package. So far I did this:

Created another .sh file with entries

CONTAINER_NAME="somepkg"
docker cp somepkg.sh "$CONTAINER_NAME":/tmp/somepkg.sh
docker exec -it "$CONTAINER_NAME" chmod +x /tmp/somepkg.sh
docker exec -it "$CONTAINER_NAME" /tmp/somepkg.sh
docker exec -it "$CONTAINER_NAME" rm /tmp/somepkg.sh

Gave this .sh exec permission, then ran it. Result was Error response from daemon: No such container: somepkg

I thought doing above would create container. So looks like I am missing some first step.

Ideas?

thanks

I know there can be big lines, and that maybe there are certain branches known for being better than others. My wife is Russian and is opening account, we plan to be at any given branch right as it opens, just curious if there are certain branches that are recommended?

thanks!

Hi,

I have a droplet I am using for self hosting VPN in a country that has restrictive internet. Several days ago, all was well. Then VPN stopped working when using mobile internet. Works when using WiFi. This I noticed coincided with my mobile provider issued IP changing. Seems to change every few days.

Nothing in my firewall settings suggests this port blocking should be going on. And issue happens if ufw is on or off. Cloud FW is off.

On my android phone, PortDroid shows port closed when I test it over mobile internet.

Could it be that digital ocean itself established some security setting to block incoming requests from this particular IP that my mobile provider assigned (well, it is dynamic IP)?

Ideas?

thanks

Just noticed this today. Running latest version of Amnezia Client on android. I installed WG on my self hosted server using client. Won't connect so I tried changing port. I changed port but then when I try to connect I get VPN Connection Error ErrorCode 1000.

ALso I noticed anytime I try to make changes via the Amnezia Client, I get connection timed out if I am using mobile internet. Then change to WiFi and works. Why would that be (maybe need separate post for that, but maybe these two problems are connected)? I thought when client makes changes on server that it uses SSH? I can indeed access SSH to my self hosted server regardless of wifi or mobile internet.

thanks

Question says it all. Thanks

I can get data in realtime to Polar Flow, such as heart rate, but I am wondering if it is possible somehow to import data after the fact from Huawei Health to Polar Flow.

Thanks
