pproxy now open to public

just to let everyone know I'm opening my pproxy up to the public. it dumps to Mika's so you can still get your stats from there. Not doing any stats processing publicly as of now, we'll see about that. the address is:

cyberwire.dhs.org
or 24.0.46.163
ports: 2064, 23, and 80

I'm storing plenty of blocks to support some extra people. or my herd for a week+ easy.

Comments or suggestions, even complaints are welcomed. If I notice ppl starting to use it I'll work more on getting public stats up. I'm a stats freak too. 🙂
 
I definetly think we should have a list of proxies available to people in case something should happen to Mika's again. I know of Clueless, mine, yours, BoberFett and bphantom. I think that gives a few options in case something should happen to Mika again.

I was a little DNS round-robin happy earlier and setup a chain of six pproxies. Mika, Clueless, Jator, BoberFett, TheCool1, and mine. It will be active tomarrow morning and I will give out the hostname. Kinda cool... 🙂

Nice! I just tested it on a domain name I have instant updates on. It works perfectly! 🙂 Unfortunately I can't give out that domain name, so you will have to wait until tomarrow morning. 🙂

some ppl mind sending a few machines towards my pproxy so I may check verything?(ports listening, etc..) I dump to mikas pretty frequently, so there is no real difference for you if you post to me. thanks

 
The pproxy hostnames are active (tapp = Team AnandTech Personal Proxy):

tapp.iodbbs.com - Six pproxies that all accept port 2064
tapp23.iodbbs.com - Three pproxies that accept port 23 (telnet)
tapp80.iodbbs.com - Three pproxies that accept port 80 (http)

I know Mika is planning on hosting a DNS server, but until that is active, feel free to test this out. If anyone else has a pproxy they would like added to the DNS round-robin, please let me know.

Edit: These are the six Team AnandTech pproxies I have in my list: Mika, Clueless, Jator, BoberFett, TheCool1, and mine. I'm pretty positive all of these pproxies dump directly to Mika's pproxy.

Very nice BPhantom!😀 This'll do great until we get something similar up for the webbox.🙂
 
Very cool bphantom

On a related note, does anybody have any idea as to why my pproxy likes to GPF ever couple of weeks? Sometimes I'll notice that my stats on Mika's haven't changed in several hours. That's usually a clue. So I logon to my NT box and see that the proxyper.exe service has GPFed. Has anybody else noticed any instability?
 
Thanks. It's the least I could do to help out the team. I don't want anyone to be munching foreign hay. 🙂 With Mika's pproxy having problems right now, this new little feature can be a great help for whoever wants to use it.

BF,

I've been running my pProxy for several months now and have not had a GPF with it. I am running it on Win2K, though I did notice something odd when running on my Win98 machine. When I went to the task list, I would have anywhere from 1-15 'Winoldapp' listed. I would end task all of them, but one was always tied to the pProxy, ao I would have to leave that one. I would check back later and the same problem happened again. I'm not sure what it was and can't investigate as I am now on a Win2K machine. Anyone else have this problem?

I am pretty new to this RC5 thing, but what exactly does a pproxy do?

Are they just used to get stats that are updated more frequently?

Do these pproxys get a large block of keys from DNET and then distribute them to other people?
 
Clueless, why not?

Edit: Also, there are now 4 pproxies which listen on ports 23 and 80. I changed my setup last night to accept those.
 
Because I haven't tried letting my pproxy connect and update buffers to itself and am afraid to. Maybe I'm just clueless about how these things work. 😱
 
Oh, you mean the pproxies themselves using the round robin. I thought you were talking about clients. I don't know how the pproxy would behave if it connected to itself. It might make for an interesting experiment. 😀
 
I would be worried that it would think the blocks were dupes since it has them on record and just delete them without forwarding on to the next proxy. THus you might loos the work all together. But I could be wrong.
