Last year I've built myself a new computer. Not just because my old one was getting too slow (it was an AMD athlon 700 classic from 1999), but also because I wanted to play around with the latest and greatest (ivy bridge wasn't out back then).

Now that I've used the computer for a little while I can tell you about how it performs.

Tomorrow, jus a few hours from now is IPv6 day. Meaning that some websites enabled IPv6 on their servers.

The websites your trying to reach can than have an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address. It's like a big test day for a lot of websites to flip the switch to see the effects. Most if not all websites will probably run dual stack , meaning they can be accessed by IPv4 and IPv6.

Local connection test with current design.

I tested out the current capacity of the server. I designed it to handle a lot of connections at once, but to be sure how many the server could handle simultaneously you'd have to run tests. So I did.

Steven Paul Jobs (San Francisco, 24 februari 1955 – 5 oktober 2011)

As can be seen on the website of Apple: http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/. A great visionair has been lost.

He managed to influence the computer industry to what it is today.

I had an old machine laying around which handles VPN. Sometimes the VPN would drop out and not come back. Windows XP does not have a rras manager like a windows server does. So a persistent VPN connection cannot be setup. I tried to work around that problem.

So I wrote a little code snippet for the VPN.

You can do what ever you like with the script. I don't care. Also support is out of the question too. Use at your own risk.
