Pingtunnel-Tamer

A simple script to tame Pingtunnel

What is this?

As you may know, the Pingtunnel project (https://github.com/esrrhs/pingtunnel) has a serious resource usage issue, which can lead to it being terminated by the OS on virtual machines or even crashing dedicated hosts.

You can use this simple Python script to prevent such issues. The script runs Pingtunnel and automatically kills it when CPU or RAM usage exceeds a certain threshold, then restarts it.

Install requirement

sudo apt update && apt install python3-pip -y 

pip install psutil

Define CPU or RAM threshold

Open pt.py and set the values for CPU_THRESHOLD and RAM_THRESHOLD according to your needs.

You can also adjust the CHECK_INTERVAL

Define pingtunnel arguments

Use PINGTUNNEL_CMD to set your Pingtunnel arguments

Run

python3 pt.py

Recommended Thresholds

Server:

CPU: 95%

RAM: 13%

Client:

CPU: 95%

RAM: 95%
