It's hard to see running a critical service over an SSH tunnel as a long-term solution.
Since I'm tempted to set this up myself (not for Redis though), what is the alternative?
- __alexs 14y agovtund http://vtun.sourceforge.net/ http://vtun.sourceforge.net/ I've only used it for tunnelling some traffic out of my home network to a VPS but it's been rock solid for me over several years of frequent use.
- newhouseb 14y agoHas anyone used this for something like the OP's problem in production?
- jevinskie 14y agoOpenVPN advertises LZO compression but it seems to be poorly documented (just an --comp-lzo argument in the manpage). Is OpenVPN considered "enterprise" enough for this sort of application, even disregarding the compression support?
- fomojola 14y agoOpenVPN actually works very well with compression: used it for 2 years to synchronize databases between 2 sites in India and one on the US and the compression cut the sync time nearly in half. It was pretty much fire-and-forget: I think I only looked at it twice in the 2 years after I set it up, both times to replace certs. I'd use that over an ssh tunnel, if only because you wouldn't need the autossh tricks.
