Virtono - not recommended

Nukejlb

Yesterday they just suspended my rented VPS due to Bandwidth Over Usage by using 460GB(!) of traffic overnight (there was only idling smartphone connected), which is not possible at all.
They just ignored all argument, just denying the fact that it was some kind of malfunction on their side or oversell.
I use server as VPN for 3 devices connected only, with less than 70GB of bandwidth used summary(!) for 30 days period.
They even neglect the fact, that traffic is comprised of outgoing data for 99.9%. Where could it be outgoing if there's no clients connected?

It's the second year of using that hosting, and i'm not a demanding client, really. I'm fine, when there's maintenance undergoing, or subnet routing issue for a week, i'm ok random short outages too.
But claiming that client somehow used 0.5Tb while sleeping, without any desire to investigate the problem is way too much.

Or not installing security fixes.

Virtono has been flawless for me so far, over a year of using them. Never had anything like this happen to me. Only some network issues, which they quickly fixed and acknowledged as their fault.

VNC into your server and check what happened.

Same here, everything was quite good for one year and a half, but recent issue really freaked me out.
I don't know how to obtain verbose stats with VNC, tried netstat -t and
docker exec amnezia-awg wg show, but didn't succeed..

weak password?

How length is your password and complexity?
I had two experience that password was hacked and a vm was used to ddos with another host. After that I don't use password and default port.

Another traffic consumption case with another provider: someone is broadcasting within the network. Traffic was used up to 50gb/day. That happened in two location. But that was inbound traffic. It's not your case.

Yes. Tokyo was resolved few month ago. Finally NYC was fixed three weeks ago.

This is precisely why providers should ban this activity - it is far too common. I find it strange that internal networks can't be configured to ban all broadcasts apart from the gateway.

It's not some military-grade password, but 12 symbols, numbers and different case letters. Should be hard to brute. And pointless.
