(Quote) Appreciate it nonetheless!

(Quote) I am using their lifetime rootserver.
-
I’m running some Docker containers on it at the moment. Wirehole, Technitium with Unbound, Cryptpad, transfer.sh, Send, PrivateBin, and others. Offered it to some friends. I’m mostly leveraging the great peering they have with my horrible ISP, DTAG…

This server has been rock solid! Load average: 1.15 0.70 0.60Uptime: 118 days(!), 01:21:47 I will reboot it now to apply some patches. I will come back to comment on this only to complain from now on ;)
-
Small update that my server is chugging along nicely after two+ months. After reaching a stable state in terms of software and config, it never had any downtime. Its uptime is currently 44 days. Really happy with this one! @Ympker I see that my IPs…

(Quote) As I mentioned above, not feeling like doing anything TOR related to be honest. They allow it! Even an exit node. But I would not host one myself. I do host a relay, though.
-
Alright, I came back home and here is what I found out. This seems to be a case of IP address spoofing as implied by @FrankZ. Two initial steps to be done to prevent this are: Enable reverse path filtering As easy as adding the two following sysc…
-
Yeah I accidentally copy/pasted the PostDown lines. The ones on PostUp have -A. Thanks @Neoon for confirming and thank tou @FrankZ for the extensive reply. I’ll check all commands once back, to see if some are needed. I see that others didn’t know…
-
(Quote) No idea. I wouldn’t even know how to do this maliciously. I removed the unused IP, then have the following commands at boot: iptables -D INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.10.10.0/24 -j DROP iptables -D FORWARD -i eth0 -s 10.10.10.0/24 -j DROP Which I b…
-
Yes, I was also surprised by this. I’m on mobile and they sent screenshots mostly, so I can’t reproduce here easily. They showed me that there was a ping to my external/public IP address associated to the MAC address of eth0 (correct, expected). T…

(Quote) I have been using mine as an ordinary server (no games) and so far, I am really waiting for the catch. It's working beautifully fine.

For when the time comes and we come back here to complain: * https://web.archive.org/web/20230510155332/https://zap-hosting.com/en/terms/ * https://web.archive.org/web/20230510155155/https://zap-hosting.com/de/agb/

(Quote) I wonder what would happen when hardware (likely the SSD) fails. Is it end of life(time)?
-
(Quote) Besides advertising as a "Host here your cracks and malware" hosting provider, they provided DDoS-as-a-service. I guess that the German police had quite some warrants to raid it. It was not an average Joe torrenting stuff. It was a…
-
(Quote) Well, what the news article is about is not exactly torrenting Linux ISOs. I guess any European place would have been raided.
-
(Quote) https://zap-hosting.com/en/server-hosting/ As a "branch" of our data center in Frankfurt, the Tier III data center "SkyLink" in Eygelshoven (near Aachen, directly on the Dutch border) was introduced in March 2020. All tr…
-
The first two days with the server have been positive so far. Performance has been fair and stable. Peering to DTAG is top-notch. Being a game server hosting company mainly, they have more access attempts and DDoS attacks than usual. Their anti-DDo…
-
There’s no mention of SpaceMan here, the OGF, or Reddit seedboxes. Give me the drama! I have always wondered. Is Germany a good country to host a seedbox at? It’s pretty risky to torrent without a VPN here.
-
(Quote) More likely mine is outdated, but the old way was mostly to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, apt update, apt upgrade, apt full-upgrade, done. This works better on a freshly installed system like in my case. It worked here, too, to upgrade to 11.
-
(Quote) Why? What happened to the good old apt full-upgrade way? It seemed to be working here :-D
-
It was a small adventure, but my server is up and running. Here is my report. I ordered a "RootServer" (dedicated resources VPS). 4 cores@3,3 GHz (E5-2667v2, the upgraded option), 8 GB Ram, 120 GB SSD, 500mbit/s up/down, 253.80EUR "l…
-
(Quote) No, they offered lifetime for a limited period of time, then stopped offering it further, once it became popular. These already sold lifetime accounts are still going strong. They are even offering discounts to lifetime accounts for purchasi…
-
Well, I YOLO'd this one and went for a lifetime root server (dedicated resources) in Germany. All default options but two: 120GB storage as I need it already, and the upgraded CPU type as this one can't be upgraded afterward. Thanks for sharing the …
-
(Quote) Yeah, but it's not the first time I see this, especially from German providers. What I usually see is VPS/virtual server = anything virtualized, does not matter how, but no dedicated resources. Vroot = same but some dedicated resources.
-
(Quote) I actually derived it from your linked benchmarks :-), but it is good to know that you can upgrade later. Will it be their upgrade price + a "you bothered me" fee?
-
Which vroot servers did you go for, @Ympker?
-
(Quote) Yes, I meant that I often have troubles finding hosting providers that have decent peering with AS3320/DTAG, which is my ISP. This one seems decent.
-
Although not explicitly shown on bgp.he.net, they (Combathon) go to AS3320 (Deutsche Telekom) directly, at least from Frankfurt. Just tested with their cheapest prepaid VPS. This may be it 🥹 traceroute to MY_IP (MY_IP), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets…
-
It seems that I picked a good time to login to LES after quite a while! They do not declare an AS nor they have a looking glass anywhere. @Ympker, could you kindly find out the AS from your IP with them? You just need to paste the IP into bgp.he.net.
-
(Quote) Be sure to stay in the limits. I had the same error when I tried to order too many.
-
(Quote) How did you pay? I have just purchased one week with PayPal and it worked.
-
According to which level of details you need to measure, both free and paid ways that Cloudflare offers for analytics are (allegedly) GDPR compatible (no PIIs are collected but I am not a lawyer). Their Web analytics, the free way, do not require to…
-
(Quote) It didn't happen to me, but I read that it happens occasionally. Hopefully, they will solve it for you.
-
(Quote) May I suggest getting inspired by Cryptostorm.is? Barbone, full transparency, any ports can be selected.
-
Also jumped on VPN Unlimited after @Ympker recommendation. It stays solid. I’ve recently gotten BulletVPN lifetime as well and it is performing even better. Reason is that is uses LeaseWeb all around, which peers very well with my ISP, Deutsche Tele…

Do you want to avoid data mining of your e-mails for ads, do you want to avoid small annoyances for things like DMCA? Yes. Do you want to avoid going to jail? No. They log your IP with a valid court order.
