      Yes, you can put OpenVPN aggregator on the same VM as your DC, that's no problem.

        This is more so what I meant.

        Load.JPG

        Not typically in the 80's but it's usually floating around the 60's

        (Just did a restart so I'm assuming thats why its spiking)

        Edit: However; its definately not dropping from 87% now

          Just doing a quick google search found this how to

          https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-setup-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-centos-7

          I assume for the most part this should be fine minus not using google'd DNS records

            There is another thread on this. That is a completely worthless graph and should be removed from their site. It was created by someone who didn't know Linux and it uses the most common newbie Linux admin mistake that there is - reading the output of the "free" command incorrectly. Your system is not using 87%, likely more like 20-30%.

            Show the completely output of **free -m"" and we will show you how to read the real memory utilization numbers.

              I would expect that to be fine. I run an ELK stack on Digital Ocean and our FreeBSD lab system.

                  Argh, I hate that modified view. The simple "free" number is gone now.

                  BUT, the used number is correct. You are USING 65MB. Seriously, just 65MB. So you are in pretty good share. Out of 489MB total, 65MB is used. Leaving you with 424MB free!

                  Linux is awesome on resources 😉

                      nslookup or dig is going to be your friend here. Check your DNS settings. Something is not resolving.

                        Is there any chance this isnt on me?

                        When I first booted initially I got this as well.

                        And I dont beleve I've changed networks settings to date?

                        Just changed DNS (temporarily) to google's DNS and same results.

                        Also keep loosing connection to the console this morning.

                          Yep was definitely on their end, I wasnt able to get into the console for about 20 minutes. Was about to submit a ticket and there was a related article, which seemed exactly like my problem. Waiting a little more and everything works now (as origional settings)

                            I've never been able to full saturate gigabit links with OpenVPN. But I have with IPSEC and Tinc and that was using Core 2 duo era cpu's. Cisco stuff in $3k range couldn't do it.

                              That's like the lowest bar in the industry.

                                So how should I have my DNS settings,

                                If I leave them as CloudatCost default I cant ping anything, if I change them to what they would be once I get them added to the domain, nothing, if I change them to google's DNS I can see the outside world.

                                I assume this is not a good idea though? Or is there no real downside?

                                Would I have it set as google's DNS until I can get OpenVPN up and going?

                                  I would use the DHCP set ones until you get the VPN setup. Then you will want DNS lookups on the Domain over the VPN. Not sure why C@C's DNS isn't working for you. I haven't had issues with it.

                                    I didnt at first, and then all of a sudden nothing worked. (Hadnt touched any network settings yet until that point)

                                      Wondering if anyone had any advice on this as well (for OpenVPN)

                                      I thought I had the setup go so smooth last night, worked through a few errors but cant seem to get around this one.

                                      thanks

                                        You have a hostname conflict. What is the hostname of the system officially uname -n and what are the entries in /etc/hosts?

                                          uname -n is dc.pricehouse.ca

                                          hosts is hosts.JPG

                                            Well you are missing the host entry for your server as a starting point. Let's at least get that fixed. The entry should be...

                                            [ip address]     dc.pricehouse.ca  dc
