One of the significant disadvantages of OpenVPN is its rather poor performance. This is especially noticeable at link speeds of 100+ megabits. In most cases, the performance of an OpenVPN tunnel is dependent on the chosen encryption method, its complexity, and buffer sizes.

In this article, we will look at how to install Veeam Agent for Linux on CentOS/RHEL/Rocky/Oracle Linux/Debian/Ubuntu.
The Out of Memory Killer (OOM Killer) is a mechanism in the Linux kernel that frees up RAM when it runs out of memory by forcibly killing one of the running processes.
Using SSH in a docker container is a bad practice and should be avoided. In most cases, it is recommended to use the docker exec command to get a container shell. But in some cases, you need to connect to the docker container remotely via an interactive SSH session.
By default, when connecting, OpenVPN clients receive a dynamic IP from the DHCP range that you set in the OpenVPN server configuration file (server.ovpn) server network netmask (for example, server 10.24.1.0 255.255.255.0). In some cases, you want certain OpenVPN clients to get the same static IP address every time they connect.

In this example, we’ll look at how to edit Linux configuration files with Ansible using sshd_config as an example. Our Ansible playbook should modify the sshd_config file and change/remove directives with insecure authentication algorithms.

To make it easier to join Ubuntu or Debian machine to the Windows Active Directory domain, instead of the samba + winbind bundle, you can use the realmd (Realm Discovery) package, which allows you to automatically configure the SSSD (System Security Services Daemon) service on Linux. This article is applicable for Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 and Debian 10/11.

In this article, we will show you how to join servers or workstations running CentOS 8, RHEL, or Rocky Linux to an Active Directory domain using realmd, and how to authenticate to a Linux host using an Active Directory account. The Realmd (Realm Discovery) service makes discovering and adding Linux hosts to an AD domain much easier. Realmd uses SSSD (via Kerberos and LDAP) or Winbind to verify and authenticate Active Directory accounts.
