Somebody did us a favor and wrote a conversion script: https://github.com/fgsch/varnish3to4 https://github.com/fgsch/varnish3to4 Still incomplete after 14 days from the initial release. I guess the optimists talking about a 30 minutes job were wrong after all ;-)

I recently upgrade from version 3 to 4, please note there are several changes on the VCL. Read carefully the upgrade docs: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/whats-new/upgrading.html https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/whats-new/upgrading... Also, despite it's not on the manual, it's worth noting that req.grace and beresp.grace were deprecated.

  I never understood the problem people have with this idea, varnish is doing things with memory a lot, a bug when it has access to the keys is a horrible nightmare. I've taken to running an nginx instance on the same machine to terminate SSL, which then backends on to varnish.- this gives people SSL up to my doorstep. except in cases where they're on our checkout page, then it's SSL to the server where they're submitting information. (via a different subdomian.)

  >pues no hay nada mal en un taco y un par de chelas Seems like a weird time to switch to Spanish! But tacos and beer are always good of course.

  Thank you. We can't catch every dupe, and this was a significant one.
