Cycle 28 (v2 cycle #9), day 6:
I am about to launch the new server. In order to set it up, I had to setup VPN software to connect to the hosting corp private network. By having a not so mainstream linux distro, it didn't work straight out of the box.
I had to become an expert in the protocols IPSec, L2TP and PPP in order to make that VPN connection work.
but I had a blast doing it as in a distant past, I was developing protocols and I had a lot of fun doing this so, my VPN struggle was fun. I had to dig into a bunch of TCP/IP RFC documents!
As I was busy with the VPN, my trading system kept working on the VPS and it did fine... I just spotted at least 2 glitches that I want to make a quick review of before installing the system on the new server because, the glitch occurrence will just happen much more often on the faster HW. I prefer to do the best to eliminate it to not see it happening all the time on the new server.
One of them is already taken care of. One more to go.
