Viscosity VPN Client – Routing private networks

by dirk on Aug.29, 2009, under OS X

Excerpt from Viscosity Support Forums:

Problem is, I want the standard 192.168.x.x and the 10.x.x.x networks to be routed locally, not through the VPN.

Try the following:

1. Go to the Viscosity menu, select Preferences, and Edit your connection
2. Click on the networking tab
3. Click the small “+” button in the Routing section to add a new route
4. Enter a Route/IP of “192.168.0.0″ (no quotes). Enter a submask of “255.255.0.0″. Enter a gateway of “net_gateway”. Click the Add button.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, expect with a Route/IP of “10.0.0.0″, and a submask of “255.0.0.0″
6. Click the Save button and try connecting.

The “net_gateway” command instructs the traffic to be routed through your normal local gateway rather than through the VPN connection.

Lotus Domino 8.0.2 update hickups

by dirk on Sep.30, 2008, under Uncategorized

After updating a Domino Server from 8.0 to 8.0.2 on RHEL and installation of the german language pack, the console.log looked very strange:

30.09.2008 16:18:53   33:02
ConvertZoneToText: Warning Time Zone -1 not found!
30.09.2008 16:18:53   33:14
ConvertZoneToText: Warning Time Zone -1 not found!

After a little research the problem cleared up: domino is missing ressource files for the servers default language. This was solved after the correct language was set in the rc_script:

DOMINO_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
