Make unRAID webconsole work with a VPN

by

How do you make unRAID webconsole work with a VPN? If you’re running a local unRAID server and are trying to access its webconsole in your browser while also running a VPN browser extension, then this short guide is for you! (Though it should also apply to any other local service using WebSockets.)

  • Go to where you can add exceptions / bypass rules to your VPN
Example of bypass rule in PIA VPN
Bypass rules menu of Private Internet Access (PIA), the VPN that I’m using
  • Now, enter your domain, e.g. https://returnminusone.com
  • Replace the protocol, i.e. “https”, with “wss”.
Example of WebSocket bypass rule in PIA VPN
Example of a WebSocket address bypass rule in PIA
  • Add the bypass rule. In PIA you just have to press the big green “+” button.

This should work for any WebSocket service running on any port, but do keep in mind that your domain will have to get routed locally in your home network for this to work. Additionally, this also works for bypassing the VPN for any other protocols, e.g. “ftp”.

Increase trajectory speed in Unity

by

How can you increase the speed at which an object travels along a trajectory without changing said trajectory in Unity (or any other game engine with physics simulation)?

You only need to adjust two values:

  • The Gravity Scale
  • The Initial Velocity or Force

How?

There are two approaches you can choose:

  • Multiply the start velocity/force by x and the gravity scale by x2
  • Or multiply the velocity/force by sqrt(x) and the gravity scale by x
