I have always loved the NAT VPS idea but with changing requirements "My requirements" I haven't got as many as I usually do, @mikho is a great choice for them along with @AnthonySmith and @cam.
One of them is mine. I ended up with something this Black Friday after all.
Smart aren't we? Tempting others to spend their $$ while protecting your own :-)
Which one did you get by the way? I am guessing the "Asia package" but 256 MB or 128 MB option?
I got the Asia 256mb package. I am leaving my beastly PC in my university to run AI stuff 24/7 but because of the university's NAT, I needed a cheap VPS in Asia (latency issues) to RDP by tunnelling through SSH on the VPS and now I got it with two other spares.
Twice yesterday I tried to order, both times something came up and the network got disconnected (ordering from mobile, grr.. elevators. more grr..) No regrets- just checked- the SG standalone ones are available still at regular price. That's the one I was most interested in, might get it separately later.
I bought a USA bundle, they are pretty good.
I got a small problem with my US-NY node nat vps: the ipv4 with that vps is fine, but the ipv6 is not working.
I have submitted a ticket(#252582) for this but no respose for 3 days.
@mikho - can you post updated looking glasses for the new locations (seems like you have Bucharest RO, Milan IT, US-New York, US-Seattle). I hope there'll be a bundle-up offer for existing bundle customers to increase their idling world dominion.
I hope New York is New York City (or thereabouts) and not a certain upstate New York location.
Also any word on taking over @AnthonySmith's LES Japan location as yet?

I hope I will get around to inatalling the looking glass this weekend.
I’m still looking at alternatives. I have a backup plan, but there is something ”better” that I’m hoping for.

Known issue, working on it, seems to be a node/routing issue.
Looks like the node changes the vps gateway to the nodes own ipv6.

I meant that the site I linked to lets you send pings from a bunch of locations around the world, and the "Italy" location is MrVM in Milan the site is behind Cloudflare because it used to sometimes get DDoS traffic and CF helped a lot.
If you want to see latency from your location, you can try ping it01.d.sb which is my MrVM VPS in Milan.
Edit: 193.234.225.89 is the public shared IPv4 in case you want to test IPv4 pings too.

Nice tool, Daniel. Tried playing around with it, discovered a few oops'es on a couple of my sites already. :-)

I might just have to have a look for some more
I just got one. I hope i'm still in time
@mikho Any known issues with Singapore? After reimaging with the Debian 10 image, it just refuses to boot

I had one ticket about it earlier.
Will have a check in the morning, was about to go to bed now.

I think maybe @cam also would be interested in this (seen a similar issue on one server) ...

Got the APAC bundle, nice.
When I pressed re-install on SG, there was two debian10 in the list. Maybe one of them was debian9?
Actually no, they actually is listed twice
I’ve removed one and it should show only one by now.

i want oneeee! =(
@mikho can you AlpineOS image?
@foxone There isn't one for OpenVZ, but you can install Debian and use this script- https://gist.github.com/trimsj/c1fefd650b5f49ceb8f3efc1b6a1404d

Thank you my darling
Ooh, I guess it should work with CentOS/whatever as well...
Should, but haven't tried.

Recent one is in this thread
I've got Milan via MrVM on https://beta.dnstools.ws/ if you want to try pings/traceroutes.

That will be nice. I'll wait to figure out which part of the world to colonize idle-ise next.
Of course one could argue that if you are truly idling, latency doesn't matter.
