Just got anonx, i got to say this kicks ass. :)
Just a couple of bugs we're trying to resolve, though I am impressed...Quote:

Reality,
Yes, AnonX is has NAT qualities. You are virtually connected to a WAN.
Issues 1- 4 are ARP issues. There are problems with NAT---NAT ARPs. I need to change some code to fix this. I will get back to you withan update. The easy solution would be to put a whole in the NAT, but this would leave you vunerable. NOT A SOLUTION. :lol:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. IRC - CANNOT upload, can download (my main issue).
2. BT - Yellow light, indicating I CANNOT conect to all sources such as others behind a NAT/router. This could be what causes the speeds with Annox to be slower on BT since you have access to fewer sources. (as said a fair trade off)
3. Emule - Low ID (not that I care but it proves the same point, when using Emule if you have a router and do not set up port fowarding you WILL get a LOW ID, it appears as Anonx is acting as a NAT/router)
4. SoulSeek - Can access and view files from all users EXCEPT for those behind a NAT/router.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a'right keep us updated ;)
Okay,
James and Reality I made the first phase of changes. Which was to use fast ip packet forwarding on all traffic. This should increase your speed. Plus it handles the 1024 to 65000 ports differently than before. It might solve the problem, but I think the ultimate solution comes in phase 2.
The second phase I will use some ARP MASQs to pass curtain network traffic. This will require tweaking. I will get back to you when I am done.
Cheers,
good work anonxo
the news of anonx service has spread in the p2p world, you guys should soon be VERY busy with customer support :lol:
;)
looking forward to get the most out of anonx ;)
Reality is my setting ok?
what's ur setting that made ur bt fast?
this is what i have... :(

:huh:
James,
Cable Modem
I have a wireless D-Link Router/NAT at Home
ZoneAlarm -- Set to Medium with port 1723 and Portocal 47 Open
I download the free version of eDonkey2000 to my laptop and connected to many 13 of 20 servers while connected to AnonX
I used Kaza Lite/Shareaza to connect to eDonkey2000 servers with similar results while connecting to AnonX.
But there are still some eDonkey servers that I can connect to without AnonX, but cannot connect to with AnonX.
Still working on it.
I also did some packet ananlysis on my connection and saw that the UDP packets that are sent by eDonkey are quite large and the AnonX server that I am connecting to ignores some of them... This is a VPN limitation that can be changed. I will make the changes and test some more.
Good news about the spreading news of AnonX.
Thanks for all of your testing and preformance tuning.
Try connecting to the eDoneky server 195.245.244.243
I am getting HighID on eDonkey with Shareaza and Kazaa Lite, now
What are you getting?
ok connecting to the emule server i am getting low id :(
also on bt i get firewalled status (yellow light), also the speed is still taking a beating :(
http://members.lycos.co.uk/xcbvxcvbx/mulebt.jpg
also this is my za setting
http://members.lycos.co.uk/xcbvxcvbx/zasettingpic.jpg
am i configured right?
EDIT: i made sure i have correct ports forwarded for emule and bt
this is the manu.'s guide for config bt: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1347
I am getting more HIGH ID with eDonkey, but I am still getting a larger number of LowIDs. The problem is not 100% solved, yet.
Okay, my BT is integrated into Shareza with differnent options. Let me download BT and play with its setting directly and report back.
I will reset the MASQ Forwarding stuff on all the server's this weekend. This will help with port between 1024 and 32565
While logged into AnonX with eDonkey2000 I get the following response 100% of the time, if I do not get the server is full.
Go to a server and try to connect
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecting to 38.119.96.15 ....

I see the warning message and do not like it. So I try to connect to that sever again and get the following resonse
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Already connected to that server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Search are quick with eDonkey but my download speeds are between 7KB/s and 60KB/s (56Kbs and 480Kbs) and this is with a cable modem.
Without AnonX I connect to the servers without the warning message, but I my transfer rate is less? Don't know why? I will admit my transer rate should be much higher in both case. With Shareaza I usuall am pushing 1.4Mbs total download.
The warning message is not the same as low id, but is an indicator that something is not 100%.
:huh:
anonxo i appreciate ur work testing the servers but i dont think that's a very good way of measure ur network's performance.
with Donkey/emule network ur speed is generally dependent on how many sources you get, the more the faster.
you mentioned with anonx on you can get up to 60kB/s, that's pretty fast even for a cable, however you might get a low id status (means ur behind a firewall/proxy). I've logged into the server u mentioned with anonx and i still get low ids (every server i've logged in give me low id status). even with correct firewall configuration.
I would suggest a network with a more stable sources like bittorrent with somewhat stable speed and connectivity, would be more ideal for testing.
just grab a popular torrent and see how you can tweak the system to make it download faster. I can upload fine on bt but download is a biatch (no offense intended :lol: )
I am gone for the day and you guys are like busy bees...
I am glad to see your on the right track now AnonXO :D
1. IRC - Still cannot upload, though I am clueless as to what is causing this. :huh:
2. EMule - I really dont give a shit about High ID and I don't think it matters that much since you can still download and upload although if I am not mistaken a Low ID means that you may not be able to connect to other Low ID users which means less sources and slower speeds due to fewer sources.
3. BT - Same issue, if your status is yellow then you can't connect to or see others who are in a similar status, thus fewer sources thus creating slower speeds.
4. SoulSeek - Slightly different since this is a one to one client, that means anyone else behind a router is just simply inaccessable.
As for Zone Alarm, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THESE ISSUES, I know this for a fact since I turned it off. :lol:
IMPORTANT
I left 3 programs running last night, IRC, SoulSeek and EMule, not much going on really, just testing. I wake up and AnonX has dropped the connection (it was set to redial every 1 second for 100 times). Well guess what :unsure: , IRC and EMule are now showing my WAN IP. There MUST be implementation of an option that if it cannot reconnect that it LOCKS all internet traffic, perhaps even trigger such a setting in a fw or does it itself. This is NOT a very comforting situation. :huh:
first of all it's NOT a program. and anonx you really should change that term :lol:
and also reality dont set it to be 100 times, i set mine 9,999,999 times ;) if anonx can't connect to the server, there will be NO internet traffic. I've done it, it works
as long as anonx is redialing there is no traffic. try it with ur web browser, unplung ur cable with anonx on, it will drop connection, redail, try using the browser now, you'll note it wont load any webpage. ;)
Odd I edited my post after looking at it relizing the exact same thing, though perhaps some type of software could be coupled with it to fix this. I have however set my properties to 999,999,999 now to see waht happens, though this should be effective.Quote:

Reality i'll ask you this again. How fast is ur bt running at wit anonx on?
mine: 30kB/s up 30kB/s down, best i can get :/
http://members.lycos.co.uk/xcbvxcvbx/4bts.jpg
:(
za setting: GRE 47 allowed, some communication between anonx server and my computer although i have no idea what they are talking about :lol:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/xcbvxcvbx/za%20allowed.jpg
Try setting BT to slow cable and then seed longer to make it up. BT is only as fast as the sources you connect to, when yellow you cannot conect to certain sources, such as others behind a router taht have not opened their ports. I can dl at 100KB/s on a good torrent with AnonX even while in yellow status, just means I am getting nice sources...
and how fast were u uploading when u download at 100kB/s? :blink:
i find if i limit my upload (using netlimiter) to 15kB/s, my downloads slow to about 15-20kB/s
i am starting to think this is related to bt network with their "proportional" upload/download rates... <_<
Sheesh...Quote:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I am going away from eDokey for a while and will focus my attention on BT and the yellow light. Question: Does BT have Upload/Download Ratio = 1? If so that is stupid. Many people have ADSL lines where they would get 768Kbs download/128Kbs upload. Is there away around the ratio?
--Thanks AnonX
anonxo to answer ur question, i have to say no, bt DOES NOT have 1:1 download/upload ratio, however download is "proportional" to upload, meaning the more you upload the faster ur download.
eg: 15kB/s upload earns u 60kB/s download
30kB/s upload earns u 120kB/s download
however with anonx on I find my speed is often 25-30kB/s up and 30kB-60kB down. Like reality said it's a fair trade off between privacy and speed but if there is anyway to improve the speed it's greatly appreciated. ;)
I haven't had time time to post much on this, but I am having a big speed problem with bt also.
I usually dl at between 10-80 kb. Normally around 45kb.
With anonx I am getting an average of 5kb :blink: Sometimes more often between 0-5. I seem to upload fine though. I also have the yellow light, but am not worried about some lost sources as long as I can get some of my speed back.
I am gonna try to set ZA like mentioned above but need to figure out how as I am new to it. I have bt set to act as server? And have all traffic for it approved.
I'll get back with any changes.
TD
I emailed and pm'ed you still no trail for me :/
well today IS saturday and anonxo is on break...
we'll hear from him on monday :lol:
muchspl2 never got your PM. I just sent you a PM
James, I never sleep.
There has to be away to increase the speed of BT.
we all do :blink:Quote:

AnonXO if you want to improve the speeds on BT just...
MAKE THAT LIGHT TURN GREEN.
The reason BT gives a yellow light is because you are hidden somehow.
NAT/router and so forth, AnonX is creating THE SAME EFFECT.
If you can solve this issue, all others will follow.
Also once again Zone Alarm HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. The GRE and PPTP ports that were requested to be opened were relating to hardware, not software, thus if you have a router.
Quote:
As I stated, once I look at the at the diagram I am NOT even sure if this can be resolved
My PC--Router--AnonX===WWW===Router--Other PC
^^^^ This is where the issue appears ^^^^
REALITY, the green light isn't neccessarilt true.
I know what you are saying, but I had the green light with 1 torrent and was still uploading 2 to 1. I don't have a problem with sharing but with this kind of speed and dl'ing at average of 5-10 a movie comes in mighty slow :blink:
The good thing is that I can have a couple going at the same time without worrying about slowing one or the other :lol:
I agree with the ZA bit. I have shut mine off also with no help on the speed issue.
Anyway, thanks anonxo for all the help.
TD
What I am saying
IRC can't upload, BT is yellow, EMule Low ID, SoulSeek can't connect to other routers. These are all the same symptons with different applications. These problems are simtimatic of having a router without having opened needed ports, thus AnonX is acting as a NAT/router somehow. Theses issues possibly become more severe to those also having a router, I intend on bypassing my router tomorrow as a a test to see what results I get. Hopefully AnonXO with his technical support is able to find a way to resolve this...
Looks like this issue has been ditched...
Oh reality, I go shopping for a few days and the problem is ditched?
I just pm james bond on this. The solution is somewhat involved, but does exist. I have been capturing packets from my home pc the last few days. Upon inspection, I noticed that both the anonx ip address and the private 172 address where sent in the ip header. This is standard VPN stuff needed for routing pruposes. I solved the NAT to NAT problem long ago by using a reverse DNS MAC ARP table. That way I did not care about your local ip and you could be behind a firewall. Now, the problem is I never stripped this data (or spoofed it to my anonx ip).
Here the bottome line eDonkey and other servers look at the damn local ip address instead of the realworld for whatever reason. My only guess is because they want your router/NAT to port forward the traffic to gain direct acces to you. This way they know who you are. Dumb on their part. Anyways it is easy enough to foll them by placing setting the ip address to the anonx address in both fields.
This will take some programming time on my part.
have some patience, sheesh <_<Quote:

Just feeling alone and ignored
As well as misunderstood
As usual
:P :P
Keep us informed.
Thanks Again.
Also I found a link to test your SoulSeek connection at
http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=87630
If you click the link it checks your connection
http://testic.demon.co.uk/slsktest/
When I have AnnoX off it shows port 2234 being open
Though when AnonX is on it shows it being closed
Hope this helps...Quote:
Your public IP address is 38.112.161.130
Your port 2234 appears to be closed.
According to the Soulseek server status page the server is up.
EDIT: I also got on a torrent and checked in advanced and saw 4 users on the torrent. However when I went to the BNBT File Info there was 8 others besides myself which means I could only access half of the users on that paticular torrent since in theory while on AnonX my ports appear as being closed. I would guess that about half of all internet users have some sort of non direct connection such as NAT/routers these days...
Thanks for the info. I will keep working on the problem
There is something more to the problem.
I change the ip header to reflect only the realworld AnonX IPs. This works for eDonkey, but not the IRC.
If have made email contact with the IRC people about the problem to learn more about how IRC works, but at this rate the problem may take a month to solve.
Sorry Guys, the current state of AnonX is as good as it gets for a little while longer.
it's ok anonxo, just keep at it
we are patient ;)
the download speed on irc is still kickass ;)
Anonxo, I eagerly wait for a resolution to this.
Regarding the gift and pre-paid credit cards that I mentioned earlier in this thread: I've discovered why so many banks have changed their policy about requiring the purchaser to provide ID. It seems that this is now a requirment in the US following the passing of the Patriot Act. So, for anyone who is planning on getting either a gift or pre-paid credit card, you will have to show ID UNLESS you have someone buy it for you. Afterall, it's not illegal to receive a gift from someone, even if it was 'intended' for another named individual that was identified as the recipient of the gift card at the time of purchase.
