connect to local area network through PPTP VPN (Synology DSM)

Credit goes to this forum post by vibrationbaby

In short, assign PPTP managed IPs into the same pool of local private network.

1. login as root through SSH.
2. go to /usr/syno/etc/packages/VPNCenter/pptp
3. edit the two lines for localip and remoteip pptp.conf. (@vibrationbaby provided the setting below. i used .200 and .201-205 while my DHCP managed 100-199. just choose some addresses that is not overlapping with existing DHCP pool.)
   

   localip 192.168.1.210
   remoteip 192.168.1.211-220
   

4. then it should work after restart the VPN Server through DSM web interface.

install python pip on linux without root

While trying to run python on Karst, i was (not) surprised that the new server does not come with numpy/pandas, but again amazed by that having no pip available. While i did make the pip works on Quarry (the retired server), I cannot really follow the old process, since I don't really remember how.... The issue seems to be that to install pip, easy_install is necessary... Anyway, thanks Evgeny for the post in askbot.org and authors of setuptools, i finally got the pip:

(touch the .bashrc, for lazy ones)
