Kaan Gunay Net Worth

Kaan Gunay, who was born in Germany, raised in Turkey, and now living in America.  Gunay’s journey started with an education, in this case an Ivy League one at Brown University.   During business school at Stanford, Gunay got to thinking with his childhood friend Onur Kardesler, about the gig economy and rideshare drivers in particular. These drivers had become the backbone of the transportation industry. Uber and Lyft had both helped address the United States dearth of public transportation as well.

Kaan Gunay is co-founder and CEO of Firefly, a global startup that operates a first-of-its-kind network of “situationally aware” digital smart screens mounted to existing ride share vehicles.

Gunay has raised a total of $51.5m USD for Firefly, which is proving to be a win-win business and attracted a number of Silicon Valley’s top venture capitalists and angel investors including GV, NFX, Pelion Venture Partners, Decent Capital (Tencent founders), Jeffrey Housenbold (SOFTBANK Vision Fund), Cross Culture Ventures, Muse Capital, and StartX.

Venturebeat: Firefly raises $30 million to put electronic ads on ride-hailing cars Venturebeat:

The gig driving economy might be growing, but excepting cities with minimum wage laws for ride-hailing drivers, the pay certainly isn’t getting any better. Lyft says its drivers’ median earnings work out to $18.83 an hour nationally. A Buzzfeed survey found that Uber drivers in Denver, Detroit, and Houston earned just $13.25 an hour on average. And in a recent survey disputed by Uber, MIT researchers reported that Uber and Lyft drivers’ median pretax profit was $3.37 per hour.

Squid Installation with AD authentication

In this prost we will discribe how to install squid proxy with Active Directory authentication.

The Squid installation it is done on Debian 6.0.4

Firstly, we need to configure the name server.

To connect to the server over SSH, we need to install SSH.

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]apt-get install ssh[/blockquote]

Install NTP Server:

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]apt-get install ntp-simple[/blockquote]

Edit the ntp file and add the frensh ntp servers:

Before installing squid we need to install:

  • samba used for connexion between Linux and Windows ;
  • krb5-user eand libpam-krb5 used by Kerberos for authenticating users to Active Directory
  • ntpdate : Used to synchronize date
  • winbind:used by samba to communicate with Active Directory.

After installing Kerberos, we need to synchronize the date using the command

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]sudo ntpdate 8.8.8.8[/blockquote]

After synchronizing the date, we will configure the Kerberos configuration file.

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]vi/etc/krb5.conf[/blockquote]

Now we will test Kerberos using the command:

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]sudo kinit Administrateur[/blockquote]

If doesn’t work, try to type [email protected]

And if doesn’t work try to restart the server.

After configuring Kerberos, we will start configuring samba. First, we need to stop Winbind and Samba and modify the file smb.conf:

Now, we will start samba and winbind

Join the domain:

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]sudo net ads join -U Administrateur [/blockquote]

After joining the domain, we will start squid installation:

[blockquote align=”left” author=””]-get install squid3 [/blockquote]

After installing squid, we will start squid configuration.
