    you said you didn't want to disclose NL location/provider, but before I run a vpn on there: is it actually in a DC with a hosting company, or is it hosted in a private individual's basement as in Calin?

    It’s not in a DC but it is located in a secure unit. Definitely not in Calins basement 😂

    Plot twist: it's in @skorupion basement.

    ServerFactory aff best VPS; HostBrr aff best storage.

    Okay, that's fair enough. Just wanted to make sure 😂

    Hmm, when running @Nyr scripts (ovpn/wg) on NL vps it gets stuck at this (connectivity issue? worked fine on UK)

    Looks like a routing issue to git.io. Try this

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nyr/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh

    Will try later, thanks. On UK Instance this worked fine, so might be routing with NL.

    If it was hosted in Calins basement it would have already been DDos'd 6 times and have 70% uptime. - Sorry Calin, I know you're working on this :#

    @natvps_uk Any plans for an Asian location soon?

    Korea will be back in stock soon, Singapore is possibly coming although it’s likely a few months away.

    Woohoo, Calin is back on line. ;)

    Edit: Okay, forget what I've said.
    More off than online. 40% loss.

    That’s cheap! Garages here are like £100 per month and they hardly fit a single car! I’d snap your hands off for a garage for that price in the UK. My car collection is currently spread across a few locations 😰

    Its the size of a big van with the ability to walk all around it, and as high as 2 stories. Not sure if I can still rent them from the city (depends if tenants are paying their rent)

    This is now resolved, it was a routing issue which is now resolved.

    For anyone else seeing generally strange networking behaviour on this node the issues should be resolved. Please let me know if you continue to see issues, whilst this is a bonus location we still want it to be as usable and stable as possible!

    Announcement:
    We have disabled vswap for instances users on the UK nodes, this was being heavily abused by people creating 64MB instances and forcing everything into swap. As this node is on HDDs it was impacting the limited disk performance fairly substantially.

    Along with this change we will be looking at provisioning a new UK node on SSDs, we will not be forcing a migration although VPS users can request to migrate to this node (whilst stocks last) and instance users can simply deploy a new instance on this node.

    We do not yet have a date for the provisioning of the SSD UK node although we will announce it here.

    We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, in the meantime we will be offering additional RAM to instance users that were previously relying on vswap, simply open a ticket and we will allocate the memory you require - you will not need to re-provision your instance. Please note that this offer will not apply to newly created instances - Instances should be provisioned with the amount of resources that you require and not intentionally underspec'd.

    We never advertised or sold the fact that these services came with vswap, we simply added it to help with lower specification instances and we will continue to do so on SSD nodes.

    Didn't want to make a ticket, but FYI the tun/tap button for Romania doesn't seem to be working (doesn't reboot the vps, tried manually rebooting after and still wasnt turned on). The server is/was up at the time I tried (ssh'ed into it) and the button works fine for other locations. Rebooting from the control panel also works fine, just the tun/tap that isn't working.

    Edit: Guess it doesn't matter now because @Calin's servers seem to be getting DDoS'ed again right now lol...

  • My 256m UK instance is extremely slow. I mean computing speed wise. Network speed is good but even apt update takes 3mins.

    Its possible that you are being throttled. We do have automated throttling in place for users that are hammering the disks. Open a ticket and we can investigate. I just timed a apt-update on that node and it is not even close to that slow on a 256mb instance.

    My 256m UK instance is extremely slow. I mean computing speed wise. Network speed is good but even apt update takes 3mins.

    Its possible that you are being throttled. We do have automated throttling in place for users that are hammering the disks. Open a ticket and we can investigate. I just timed a apt-update on that node and it is not even close to that slow on a 256mb instance.

    Thanks! It's definitely faster now;

    After first provision, I couldn't enable tun/tap so I just reinstalled OS several times, hoping I'll fix it. But it got fixed only after a ticket :). I think that's the cause for throttling.

    This is now resolved, it was a routing issue which is now resolved.

    For anyone else seeing generally strange networking behaviour on this node the issues should be resolved. Please let me know if you continue to see issues, whilst this is a bonus location we still want it to be as usable and stable as possible!

    NL can ping your other locations fine, but can't ssh your UK host or CA or SK
    ssh: connect to host xxx…. port xx21: Connection timed out
    ssh: connect to host yyy… port xx21: Connection timed out
    ssh: connect to host aaa… port xx21: Connection timed out

    Can't ping an IPV6 address
    PING government.nl(bbbb::::)) 56 data bytes
    From cccc::::(dddd::::): icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: No route

    Please do the needful :smile:

    Please remove our node IPs from this post.

    We’ll look into the issue

    If this is a policy, it needs to be added to the ToS.
    Otherwise, it's merely a suggestion.

    "Share publicly" needs to be defined too.
    For example, if a customer installs Asterisk telephony server and creates an SRV record pointing to the IPv4+port, the DNS record technically reveals the node IP.

    Yeah I’m going to add it, I mean a records are fine. Sharing the IPs on a public forum not so much.
