I haven't used RansomIT directly myself, but I think @mikho's Australian NAT VPSes are hosted there. Those things are faster than some of the VPSes I've tried that cost much more. For Australian VPSes, I'm using https://quantumcore.com.au/. Their p…

(Quote) You can also check the commands that ServerScope uses. It does several fio tests.

(Quote) Huh, interesting. It's basically the opposite in the USA - some providers are heavily pushing IPv6 in order to avoid having to implement CGNAT. For example, over 95% of traffic through T-mobile's network uses IPv6. Modern phones on the T-Mob…

If you use IPv6 at home, you don't need to use NAT - each device gets its own IP address. Similarly, on VPSes it's very useful if you have multiple Docker or LXC containers as each one can get its own public IP. That's assuming your provider gives y…

* BuyVM. Been using them since 2012. A bit more expensive than many other hosts now, but the service is excellent. * QuantumCore. The best cheap Australian host I've used.

(Quote) Hmm... It's always taken exact USD amounts for me (Image)

(Quote) For locations that are on OpenVZ6, Debian 9 is the latest version that you can use. Debian 10 doesn't work on OpenVZ6. For OpenVZ7, if any locations don't have a Debian 10 image, you should be able to install Debian 9 then upgrade to Debian …

I experienced the same issue with mine. Thought it was a mistake by me.

(Quote) Is this because your ISP doesn't offer IPv6? Write to them and complain (because all good ISPs should have native IPv6 now), then set up a TunnelBroker tunnel. https://tunnelbroker.net/

(Quote) Thanks for confirming!

(Quote) What about PHP 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4? All the PHP versions you listed are EOL and no longer get security updates: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
-
(Quote) Debian 8 was released in 2015... Debian 7 is ridiculously old now. For all the OpenVZ7-based services, the Debian 10 image works very well. It's likely you're not seeing Debian 7 for the OpenVZ7 services as Debian 7 images only exist for Op…

(Quote) CloudFront is good! BunnyCDN is also pretty good, and relatively cheap.
-
(Quote) Cloudflare's free plan doesn't cache content at their CDN nodes for a long time (given the massive number of users they have, it'd be impossible to have fully primed caches for every single site) so in some cases you'll actually see worse pe…
-
(Quote) And I think the only reason they can even have that low level of support is thanks to paid Virtuozzo users. If Virtuozzo disappeared, OpenVZ would die along with it. I doubt any other company would pick up OpenVZ dev given there's so many ot…
-
Anotger thing I forgot to mention that I really dislike about OpenVZ is its handling of CPU cores. On a VPS, when you ask how many CPUs the system has using the glibc sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) function, it returns the right number of virtual CPU…
-
(Quote) It's not just getting a custom kernel, it's also getting a modern kernel. Even OpenVZ7 still uses a 3.10 series kernel, so you're missing out on a lot of newer features. I know some newer features get backported but it's not very common. (Q…
-
(Quote) Disagree with "isn't as tested"... The Wireguard-go userspace implementation powers all the non-Linux OSes supported by Wireguard (including the Android app, iOS app, Windows version and MacOS version). I think with OpenVZ you can…
-
KVM is part of the mainline Linux kernel, whereas OpenVZ is a third party kernel modification. This means OpenVZ is far more likely to disappear in the future. KVM is more future-proof. The only real use case for OpenVZ that I can think of is cheap…

The source article is way more detailed. Very well-written. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/internet/330379-how-internet-resources-worth-r800-million-were-stolen-and-sold-on-the-black-market.html

(Quote) If you set up a lot of VPSes, it's definitely worth learning how to use Ansible. You can automate everything so you can just run one command and it sets everything up :)
-
(Quote) It depends on what you do during setup. If you enter a root password, it does not install sudo. However, if you do not enter a root password (just leave the password field blank), it locks the root user, installs sudo, and adds the user acc…

Seems like the domain is pointing to some sketchy-looking parking service. https://dnstools.ws/lookup/megarbl.net/NS/ https://dnstools.ws/lookup/megarbl.net/A/ My guess is their registrar is one of those registrars that points expired domains to la…

Also, pressing Ctrl+Enter doesn't post the comment... Most modern forms let you submit while a textarea is focused by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

I'm not very familiar with Vanilla... Is there an option to group email notifications into one thread? The emails don't have any of the regular threading headers (like References or Original-Message-ID) and the subject changes per replier, so most e…

I don't actually like SSH being pre-installed as I'm never sure if the template correctly generates an SSH host key or if every single person that uses the template gets the same key (which would open you up to MitM attacks). Also hard to confirm th…

(Quote) Didn't Frantech/BuyVM IPs at some point have an address that wasn't related to the company listed on the IPs? I remember reading some article or blog post or something about that. (Quote) I once got one for an IP range I had used at a serve…

(Quote) 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 helpe…

(Quote) I've got Milan via MrVM on https://beta.dnstools.ws/ if you want to try pings/traceroutes.

I'd be interested in anycast IPv6, if you ever offer that! For all my services with you I only ever use the IPv6 address for inbound connections, I don't use the shared IPv4.
-
(Quote) A lot of people outside of these forums and LowEndTalk still don't know that LowEndBox is bad. Some people have memories of using LowEndBox many years ago before it was owned by ColoCrossing, and still think it's good today, as the site stil…

(Quote) Reminded me of this tweet I just saw recently: https://twitter.com/IchBinNicheSie/status/1203792984371806208?s=20

(Quote) I usually use Vultr for that. $0.004/hr on their cheapest (IPv6-only) plan.
-
(Quote) I used to use Tinc but v1.1 has been experimental for a very long time, and I started encountering sporadic lockups where it'd get stuck at 100% CPU usage (both on v1.0 and v1.1). WireGuard is a bit trickier to configure given it doesn't aut…

@freerangecloud Can you do shared IPv4? Don't need inbound IPv4, just outbound, so NAT with no forwarded incoming ports would be fine.
