Daniel T. Magnusson's questions

I have a couple machines, that have close to no activity for a a longer period of time.

And when i try to connect to them with ssh after a week or soo, its like they have gone into "sleep mode", everything is slow.

Load is not reporting anything, but basic command in terminal takes ~10seconds to type.

I can restart/warm it up for 15mins and it works fine again. What's happening? how can i turn of this "suspend virtual machine" issue?

They are running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. I use VMware ESXi 4.1.0 and vSphere cLient 4.1.0

Software used is nginx_0.7.65, django 1.3.1, uwsgi-0.9.5.4

Many related questions on this site, looked thru a few of them, none helped my problem. Anyways my client is Vista, server is IPCop

My client config file:

#OpenVPN Server conf
tls-client
client
dev tun
proto udp
tun-mtu 1400
remote ip.to.server.here. 1194
pkcs12 NameOfPrettyPerson.p12
cipher BF-CBC
verb 3
ns-cert-type server

My problem is that not all traffic is routed thru the vpn, I want all my traffic going thru our vpn, or having the option to do soo.

Basically my ip should be the ip of our server when browsing the web, not my clients ip. I can do this with a simple ssh tunnel to one of the server within the internal network, but the vpn seems to work differently.. I must be missing some knowledge here on how vpn works.

Should be a simple client config thing, right? like "route all traffic thru vpn", I'm unable to find anything similar in openvpn gui, or the config file. Help needed!
