Living Room / The SSL certificate industry is a messy business

« on: February 14, 2008, 01:55 PM »

Not everyone is running an online banking business or selling merchandise online. Sometimes, an SSL certificate is used only to remove the warning in a browser.

For example, a reasonable certificate is needed if you run a home server or if you have a small business and simply want to give your friends/customers secure access to your server without having to tell everyone using your site that your self signed certificate is the cause of the nasty browser warning.

Why are certificates from VeriSign so freakin’ expensive?

Why do many of the "cheap" SSL providers not tell you they sell a chained certificate?

If you have any experience with "good and reasonable" certificate vendors, please join our forum and give us your thoughts. We have a thread where we would like to have an open discussion regarding "good and reasonable" certificate vendors. The forum is for the BarracudaDrive server, but you do not have to have this product to join our discussion group..

General Software Discussion / Automatic port forwarding for servers, BitTorrent, etc

« on: January 15, 2008, 06:23 PM »

Some network programs require that you configure port forwarding in your router, so that they will work properly. This is confusing to many people, causing many newcomers to give up For those who know what they are doing, it is time consuming. There is a quicker and easier way.

Fortunately, most routers support a standard called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), meaning that you can use the BaUPnP tool to update your port forwarding settings, without going through all the menus in your router.

BaUPnP is a free command line utility that automates the process of forwarding your ports.

The tool, by default, configures port mapping for the two ports used by web-servers - that is port 80 (HTTP) and port 443 (HTTPS). You are able to use your own arguments for any service you want.

The following example configures port mapping for FTP (port 21) and Telnet (port 23):

BaUPnP.exe 21 23

It doesn’t get much easier than that

General Software Discussion / Create your own private and secure peer to peer network

« on: December 27, 2005, 11:11 AM »

BarracudaDrive is a multi-user secure web based file manager with no need for FTP access. With BarracudaDrive, you can create your own private and secure peer to peer network. You can securely upload, download, and manage your files on your home computer from anywhere in the world. BarracudaDrive also bypasses firewalls and proxies since the communication protocol is HTTPS. The communication is protected by using SSL so no one can eavesdrop on your file transfer.

For example, if you have a high speed internet connection at home, you can use the BarracudaDrive web file manager to securely copy files to and from your home computer from any remote computer that has internet access.

BarracudaDrive comes with an advanced user editor and database that makes it possible to give your friends restricted access to your computer. For example, you can securely exchange any kind of files with your friends. Unlike a public peer to peer network, no external entity can obtain the identity to the connected computers or eavesdrop on the data being transmitted.

The integrated real-time chat server and client make it possible to securely communicate with your friends. Only users that you trust are allowed to enter the chat room.


BarracudaDrive also includes:
(1) A HTTPS tunnel for securing non secure services such as TELNET, FTP, VNC, HTTP, etc.
(2) DHTML User and Constraints Editor/database designed using Ajax technology.
