Web Hosting Talk : Advertising Forums : Employment Offers & Requests : Systems Management Requests : [Very Urgent] OVH Failover IPs failed to work. Need expert advice/help

[kohkindachi]

Ok guys I'll explain the situation and hope some pro could help me.

My OVH server (or maybe the main IP) was banned by rapidshare.com to login. Then i try to use the failover IPs. All of them 'seems to be' ban too.
Rapidshare somehow know I'm using the same server regardless of how many IPs i'd changed on that server?? Yes? Maybe?

What I discovered:

I followed this instruction here to use the xxxxx.128.9x IP (one of the extra failover IP) as a proxy
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...effective.html (ssh tunneling)
I'm 100% sure I added xxxxx.128.9x to be used

But when i start using it and and check my ip using http://www.ip-adress.com/
It actually shows xxxxx.81.2x (the main IP) instead. Is that the reason why no matter what IP i used i still can't login to RS?

Now now...anyone knows what i can do :/

I'm not very good with all these stuff. But when i think that since reseller of any server can use so many IPs for so many clients, there must be a way for me too.


I'll pay for those who can find me a solution

Due to the nature of how ip works, new connections will always use the primary ip of the outgoing connection, unless you tell them otherwise, no matter what ip you used to connect to the machine.

As wijtec said, it doesn't matter which address you connect to your server through, outgoing connections from the server will come from your main IP addres by default.
Depending on the program, you can tell it to bind to a specific IP address and make connections from there. For example, with wget, you'd do "wget --bind-address=xxxxx.128.9x http://website.com/file.zip". I don't know what program you're using to connect to rapidshare, though.

[chasebug]

Never seen them ban ip address before, what are you doing causing them to block your ip? Are you doing something that consider breaking their TOS? Maybe stop that activity and ask them to remove the block.

[TarballX]

Actually, after rereading your post, I realized you aren't using any program on your server (like wget), you're just using an ssh tunnel, right? Perhaps you could try something like this

route add -net 195.122.131.0 gw GATEWAY netmask 255.255.255.0 dev INTERFACE

Replace GATEWAY with the default gateway for your server, which can be found by running "route" and looking at the gateway entry next to the "default" destination. Replace INTERFACE with whichever interface has the IP address you wish to use to connect to rapidshare, such as eth0:0. This would make your server route all traffic to rapidshare.com's subnet (195.122.131.0) though the interface you specified, and traffic going through the SSH tunnel should also be routed in the same way.

I think his site is rapid8 it fetch files from sites like rapidshare for people to download from. Will need to know how your script is fetching files to get around the ip blocks.

[nvieira]

you should use snat then.

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy -j SNAT --to-source nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy with the destination host/subnet (ex: 195.122.131.0/24) and nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn with your failover IP.

this will make the box to perform source nat sending all packets to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yy from the nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn address.

cheers,

Hey guys (1) basically I'm just logging into RS using script with cURL (Let's talk not about how it got ban...first ok )
(2) The reason why I used ssh tunneling is to test whether login is really banned or not, using all those IPs. To my surprise, even though I set the failover IP to be used, it's still being banned. Checking IP ADDRESS again on some site, realise that it's showing the old IP (believe the FO IP only redirects)

(3) Someone talked about gateway in OVH forum too. But didn't elaborate how can i do it Can someone show me step by step ot help me(paying)?

Thanks

[kohkindachi]

@nvieira and TarballX. Is there a way to make this FO IP works for all destinations and not RS only? Will vir machince works?

[root@nsxxxx7 ~]# route add -net 195.122.131.0 gw rbx-22-gw.route netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0:0

rbx-22-gw.route: Unknown host

That's not your default gw, try finding it out with "route -n"

[kohkindachi]

Oh GREAT.... TarballX method works
and thanks wijtec for telling me the correct gateway

One more question, how do i edit or remove this entry?
