<p>Meshed NAT, each user gets a /24 from 10.0.0.0/8 you can use your /24 over all locations and all your VPS can talk to each other over the mesh no matter the location.</p>

<p>For the rest of February, the minimum top-up is $3 instead of $5, credit never expires, services auto stop when you run out, you have around 3 days to recover, after that they are deleted, we auto cancel debt, so you will never owe anything.</p>

<p>We are privacy-focused, we don't want your ID or personal details, the free trial credit does not require a credit card or validation, its enough to get you running for a few hours or a few days or weeks, depending on what you deploy.</p>

<p>Locations:</p>

<ul>
<li>Canada East</li>
<li>Kansas, MO, USA</li>
<li>London, UK</li>
<li>Frankfurt, DE</li>
</ul>

<p>You can self-migrate your own server in most instances. Big HDD storage is only available in London right now.</p>

<p><strong>MAJOR UPDATE</strong></p>

<p><img src="https://lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/hx/8vn7anc1rluh.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>We essentially replaced the NAT logic in the back end after many complaints about only getting 1 extra port, now all VPSs are provisioned with ONLY 1 port for SSH (you get the matching UDP port anyway) then you can self-allocate up to 3 more ports, and you can set which internal port it forwards too.</p>

<p>This also means those who never needed or want the extra port forwarding to their VPS can remove it, you can add and remove ports at will now. Currently, we have set it to 4 ports (1 for ssh + 3 extra). Depending on use over the next month or so, we may hike that up to 5 or 10, we will see.</p>

<p>We are currently working on finally rolling out the HAProxy stats for end users, few little bits of fine-tuning to do still on that.</p>

<p>We may have also come up with a way to add IPv6 in a way that won't hurt the final IPv6 plan for TierHive, so IPv6 may be coming in Alpha sooner rather than later. I have some research to do on NS Delegation for end users who might want to manage their own zone/PTR</p>

<p>We figured out how to get a bit more speed networking-wise for end users with more efficient limiting, rule sets and dynamic balancing, which has been well recieved, there were some complaints from the nodeseek people early on about this <img src="https://lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/grin.png" title=":D" alt=":D" height="18" /> (Anyone that uses nodeseek please let people know, I will very much appreciate that)</p>

<p>We are still looking to add Singapore as the next location once the stars align. I thought it would have been ready by now, but we had to back out while we focused on other, more important things with the NAT system, we realised we boxed ourselves in with that so we wanted to fix it before going any further.</p>

<p>Most other changes have been admin or hypervisor side to make our lives easier.</p>

<p>One of which is our own abuse monitoring system that checks for torrent, tor, mining, spam, port scanning abuse in real time, which we are looking to release as a separate product, it currently supports email, or webhook alerts (slack, zulip etc)</p>

<p>As a side note, we have discovered a lot of people are using this service for Discord bots, as most of them will run just fine on a micro instance, which is around $0.10/month equivalent, if anyone runs any commercial projects that need resources on demand in small amounts like this and wants to do some sort of post provisioning billing system we can arrange that, i.e. you can run a certain amount in advance and then you only pay if you get paid, we would love to hear from you.</p>

<p>Additionally, if anyone just has any cool or interesting projects and wants them to be sponsored, if it fits with the spirit of the project, we may consider providing free resources within reason. we recently sponsored the kansas location for <a href="https://check-host.cc/" rel="nofollow">https://check-host.cc/</a> for example, what have you got?</p>
