00:41:17 <xmrvsbeast[m]> <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
05:19:07 <sech1> xmrvsbeast onalim apart from VPN, you can use xmrig-proxy and TLS to hide mining traffic
10:10:05 <xmrvsbeast[m]> sech1: xmrig-proxy
10:10:06 <xmrvsbeast[m]> --tls                     enable SSL/TLS support (needs pool support)
10:10:06 <xmrvsbeast[m]> Does it also need miner support, or is it only TLS to the pool?
10:11:21 <xmrvsbeast[m]> Does p2pool support it and auto-detect?
10:13:28 <sech1> no, you enable tls in config.json for the proxy
10:13:35 <sech1> then connect xmrig to it using tls
10:13:43 <sech1> xmrig-proxy itself connects to p2pool without tls
10:14:11 <sech1> https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/blob/master/src/config.json#L54
10:15:14 <xmrvsbeast[m]> oh, that will not help, we would need a tls connection from proxy to p2pool
10:15:28 <xmrvsbeast[m]> as that is where their ISP is placed 
10:16:52 <sech1> just put proxy on the same server as p2pool
10:18:11 <xmrvsbeast[m]> the issue is I cannot enable tls on the miner side
10:19:32 <xmrvsbeast[m]> if I have tls enabled in xmrig-proxy an the raffle winner is running proxy with tls enabled as well, that should do it?
10:21:06 <xmrvsbeast[m]> miner (no tls)--> proxy (tls enabled) --> proxy (tls enabled) --> p2pool
10:21:38 <xmrvsbeast[m]> would this make a tls connection between the two proxies?
10:21:44 <sech1> yes
10:22:23 <sech1> but connection between miner and first proxy can still be detected as mining
10:22:25 <xmrvsbeast[m]> ok, will try it, thanks
10:22:45 <xmrvsbeast[m]> that is not an issue
10:22:46 <sech1> and I think first proxy will have to run in simple mode, not nicehash mode
10:22:59 <xmrvsbeast[m]> it does already
10:53:05 <sech1> xmrvsbeast you also need to set "tls": true, in pool config of the first proxy
11:33:16 <sech1> xmrvsbeast StratumServer client 46.30.188.187:55016 invalid JSON request (parse error)
11:35:03 <sech1> that happened when I won the raffle ~10 minutes ago
11:35:28 <sech1> I don't run any proxy there
11:52:34 <xmrvsbeast[m]> 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
11:53:49 <xmrvsbeast[m]> I think a legit VPN is the solution for raffle players if they are having connection refused issues
12:15:18 <jaska087> 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://
12:15:46 <jaska087> im not 100% sure if this works on p2pool stratum
13:55:40 <onalim> 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
13:55:41 <onalim> had blocking issues, nor is there a data cap imposed
14:02:20 <onalim> p2pool v2: run everything over ssl heh
18:27:19 <jaska087> "p2pool v2: run everything over ssl heh" tsk tsk. ssl is deprecated.
