<onalim> "Out of curiosity, anyone else..." <- This your node is reachable ut when mining started connections are dropping, This might be your ISP messing with inbound stratum traffic, other have reported they had to use a VPN to prevent this

xmrvsbeast onalim apart from VPN, you can use xmrig-proxy and TLS to hide mining traffic

sech1: xmrig-proxy

--tls enable SSL/TLS support (needs pool support)

Does it also need miner support, or is it only TLS to the pool?

Does p2pool support it and auto-detect?

no, you enable tls in config.json for the proxy

then connect xmrig to it using tls

xmrig-proxy itself connects to p2pool without tls

oh, that will not help, we would need a tls connection from proxy to p2pool

as that is where their ISP is placed

just put proxy on the same server as p2pool

the issue is I cannot enable tls on the miner side

if I have tls enabled in xmrig-proxy an the raffle winner is running proxy with tls enabled as well, that should do it?

miner (no tls)--> proxy (tls enabled) --> proxy (tls enabled) --> p2pool

would this make a tls connection between the two proxies?

yes

but connection between miner and first proxy can still be detected as mining

ok, will try it, thanks

that is not an issue

and I think first proxy will have to run in simple mode, not nicehash mode

it does already

xmrvsbeast you also need to set "tls": true, in pool config of the first proxy

xmrvsbeast StratumServer client 46.30.188.187:55016 invalid JSON request (parse error)

that happened when I won the raffle ~10 minutes ago

I don't run any proxy there

I enabled tls for a bit, but then realized config needs to be correct on both ends for it to work, which will never happen correctly if I am just sending hashes to random nodes, so it is off now

I think a legit VPN is the solution for raffle players if they are having connection refused issues

xmrvsbeast maybe you should make TLS an option for the application submit or just try two urls before giving up on that node. stratum+ssl:// or stratum+tcp://

im not 100% sure if this works on p2pool stratum

xmrvsbeast[m] Thanks for the reply. I don't know if it will help, but I might try proxying data on the p2pool/monerod/stratum ports through one of my Linode's and it that doesn't help, maybe I'll look into a VPN. It's just odd because I'm on a small fiber provider who is about as hands off as they come. I run a lot from my connection and have never

had blocking issues, nor is there a data cap imposed

p2pool v2: run everything over ssl heh

"p2pool v2: run everything over ssl heh" tsk tsk. ssl is deprecated.
