I don't have time to look at that this morning, but will remote in and fix it if needed later.

Hamish,

You will have to let me know when, if you end up having to do that, because I'll have to power everything up at this end.

Hamish,

I found this post viewtopic.php?p=3740#p3740, in which you say that you stuck the MTU command in rc.local. I just logged into the old VPN Server at the WMT and that is what you did, so I can do that with the new one. That will allow me to get on with building Client Certs and backing up the SD Card.

I will also need to do the same on the Minster Music and Minster Bells Pis.

Looks good.

You shouldn't have to do it on any of the other pis - all the traffic is going through the VPN server anyway, and that should handle the MTU for everything connecting through it IIRC.

OK. Thanks.

I thought that you had done all of them.

I have created this Topic to accommodate the activities that have taken place over the past few months to upgrade the VPN Server.

The new Pi 4 has now been fully fettled and tested by Hamish while installed in my Home Network. The specifications of the new server are:
  • Model - Raspberry Pi 4, 4 GB of RAM, 16 GB SD Card.
  • Operating System - Raspberry Pi OS bluebell.
  • Included utilities:
    • Backup tools - image-utils.
    • General Monitoring Tool - vcgencmd.
  • Username and Password - in the Office Safe.
I will deliver the Pi and PSU to Penri onsite the next time he is there.

This was done on Wednesday.

Penri, Any idea when you will have time to plug it in?
