Restoration Techniques Using PostgreSQL Point-In-Time Recovery

This blog is aimed at beginners trying to learn the basics of PostgreSQL but already have some experience under their belt. For this tutorial, we will assume you have PostgreSQL correctly installed on Ubuntu. All of these steps were done using PostgreSQL 16 (development version) and Ubuntu 22.10. We’ll go over 3 different restoration methods, the “default” restore to “latest” method, restore by Log Sequence Number (LSN) and restore by timestamp.

Why your TCP-based VPN stutters

  1. Tunneling TCP connections over a TCP-based VPN leads to conflict between the reliability mechanisms of the two connections, resulting in decreased bandwidth and stutter-y performance. Always tunnel TCP over UDP when you can.
  2. In rare cases, overly restrictive firewalls may block UDP traffic, in which case you should obfuscate the tunnel’s UDP traffic as TCP to bypass restrictions.
  3. The adoption of UDP-based QUIC will make more internet traffic be on UDP, forcing firewalls to be less restrictive towards UDP traffic.
