A mini news flash here, I’ve created a Github account that will be hosting all my scripts.
The first to be moved over is my automated PPTP setup script, now called ezpptp.
The LNMP (Nginx, PHP, MySQL) script has been depreciated in favor of Xeoncross’s lowendscript that I’ve contributed some patches to.
My OpenVPN setup script will soon be joining the other bunch in the near future.
Hopefully with the scripts now being hosted on Github, I’ll see some patches and commits to make them even better 
PPTP is short for Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, a technology for creating Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) quickly. Support is built-in to many operating systems natively, without needing an additional client, unlike OpenVPN.
This script will automatically PPTP/PoPToP on your OpenVZ VPS in a few of minutes. Port forwarding, server configuration, and authentication setup is all taken care of for you.
A manual installation guide is available here for those of you who want to get down and dirty: http://www.putdispenserhere.com/pptp-vpn-setup-guide-for-a-debian-openvz-vps/
1. Make sure that your VPS has its PPP module working. To check, run the following command:
cat /dev/ppp
If your VPS returns this message, then your PPP module is set correctly:
cat: /dev/ppp: No such device or address
If not, then you need to enable it in SolusVM (or disable and re-enable it).
2. Copy and paste these lines into your SSH client of choice:
wget https://raw.github.com/cwaffles/ezpptp/master/ezpptp.sh chmod +x ezpptp.sh && ./ezpptp.sh
I have edited a script (credits below as well as a CentOS/RHEL version) for automated OpenVPN setup. OpenVPN server on your OpenVZ VPS can be set up in under a couple of minutes. Port forwarding, client config, key archiving, and config setup is all done for you. Note that setting the port to 53 can be used to bypass captive portals as an alternative to using iodine. Feedback is appreciated.
Make sure that your VPS has it’s TUN/TAP modules enabled by your provider first. To verify it is working, enter the command below:
cat /dev/net/tun
If you receive this message, your TUN/TAP device is ready for use:
cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state
If you receive this message, contact your provider for assistance:
cat: /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory
wget http://www.putdispenserhere.com/wp-content/uploads/openvpninstall.sh chmod +x openvpninstall.sh ./openvpninstall.sh
1. Close any My Computer windows. This command will kill explorer.
2. Open the Start Menu, and type cmd in the search box and press enter (make sure you run as Administrator if you have UAC on).
3. In the command prompt, Copy and Paste the commands below:
For Windows Vista/2008/7/2008R2:
TASKKILL /IM explorer.exe /F CD /d %LOCALAPPDATA% DEL /A:H IconCache.db explorer
For Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/2003R2:
TASKKILL /IM explorer.exe /F CD /d %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data DEL /A:H IconCache.db explorer
4. The IconCache.db file has now been rebuilt.
This guide is intended for those who want to set up a Iodine on a Debian or Ubuntu VPS. Lots of time has been spent through trial and error trying to figure it out. Insight and portions of this guide have been taken http://code.kryo.se/iodine/.
1. Run one of the following scripts on your server below.
SSH into your server/VPS and run one of the below scripts:
1a. Ubuntu only installation!
cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<END deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main restricted universe END apt-get update apt-get -t natty install iodine sed -i '$d' /etc/apt/sources.list
1b. Debian only installation!
cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<END deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main END apt-get update apt-get -t sid install iodine sed -i '$d' /etc/apt/sources.list
This script is based of 21Andy’s work, and Lowendbox’s work.
Link: https://github.com/Xeoncross/lowendscript
The main differences compared to Andy’s and Lowendbox’s work are:
PHP 5.3 vs 5.2
Nginx 0.7 vs 0.6
MySQL 5.1 vs 5.0
Cleaner repos (for those Debian templates with broken repositories)
To run this script, enter in:
wget http://www.putdispenserhere.com/wp-content/uploads/setup-cheap-debian.sh bash setup-cheap-debian.sh
Afterward, run this to setup WordPress:
bash setup-debian.sh wordpress blog.example.com
Make sure you change blog.example.com to match your domain.
This guide is intended for those who want to set up a PPTP VPN on OpenVZ with Debian or Ubuntu on a capable provider such as BuyVM.net. Lots of time has been spent through trial and error trying to figure it out. Insight and portions of this guide have been taken from howtogeek.com.
To verify PPP is working, run:
cat /dev/ppp
It should return this:
cat: /dev/ppp: No such device or address
Server Setup:
1. Install the pptp server package:
apt-get install pptpd
Here is something cool I found browsing the net:
For teaching a course I needed to take a closer look at a CPU. I asked around and got my hands on an old P-III Coppermine that was about to get thrown out. I’ll start with a disclaimer: I know virtually nothing about CPUs, so if I claim something to be true, it probably isn’t.
The first challenge is to get the actual silicon processor chip off of the plastic bonding board. In the picture below, the blue thing you see is the back side of the processor chip. When the processor is finished, it is turned upside down and bonded to the green circuit board. This allows the metal pads on the silicon chip and the pads on the circuit board to join, creating a connection (this is one of those claims…). I believe that the CPU at that stage is heated up in order to melt the joints and thereby solder them together.

This is my first attempt at editing and fixing someone else tutorial.
You will need a tunnel broker, and you can follow my guide and use Hurricane Electric. Once you have your account set up, you will need to create a regular tunnel, and all you have to do is enter in your public IP address which can be found at http://whatismyipaddress.com/.
With that set up, now you will need to get your tunnel info. Here is an example:
Server IPv4 Address: 216.218.226.238
Server IPv6 Address: 2001:480:a:40b::1/64
Client IPv4 Address: 123.456.789.101 (Your IP address here)
Client IPv6 Address: 2001:480:a:40b::2/64
Routed /64:2001:480:b:40b::/64
