@mad_4u Can you write some more about how you set this up - eg, how you negotiate with providers to run a low-cost VPN in terms of handling abuse reports; and what sort of tricks are needed to keep bandwidth manageable..

_There seems to be an odd bug around cancelled services, where they end up as "SUSPENDED" despite a long standing cancellation request: (Image) (Quote) but the reason is: (Quote) Your service was suspended for non-payment. Please pay y…

(Quote) I don't see the need for a subscription to maintain the 100GB, just the 0.10 to open up WEBDAV to use it? If I were to do a weekly backup off the low-spec nodes, the initial credits would last me 2 years, or am I missing a forced expiry? It…

I wonder what happened to the node .. Node: LAX2Z021 (doesn't show on Network Status, last whine on here was last year) https://status.virm.ac/?s=62d9fd33778ad15ede24adb4 (Can't post the screen shot - but it seems to roughly a flat-line with CPU…

Are the new IP's for LAX that got made available today not routing yet? 45.15.143.1 seems to hit 10.254.0.7 IP when tracerouting (which is strange, I didn't think you could see a 10.x.x.x on the public Internet)
-
Oddly, Hetrix reports 47.87.196.xxx alternating between reachable and non-reachable, depending on which origin is attempting to hit it. I guess it's a lingering BGP route?
-
(Quote) Yup. Mentioned this. This doesn't help because even at this lower data rate, the daily quota can be exceeded in 6 hours. So unless I rate limit to much lower than this, and then I can't burst. Nginx doesn't have a 'limit_rate 100GB/day' a…
-
(Quote) Does anyone know a way to configure tthe 10%/24 limit in nginx or with Linux traffic shaping? 10% of 1024GB would be 100GB - assume a 1GB file exists, that'd only take 100 requests. Even reducing max transfer speed to 5MB/s, 100GB is still…

This seems to be a new problem - DALZ004 doesn't like 'rescue mode' - You can 'enable' rescue mode, but the VM stays in "offline" state. Disabling rescue mode brings it back online. Fortunately, booting from the system rescue iso acco…

There's something inherently scummy about review sites that get paid by the hosts who are reviewed - For one, high customer acquisition costs means paying more for the service.. Secondly, the review site is incentivized to drive more customers to ve…

(Quote) Have you tried doing a "Secondary Bus Reset" on the PCIE controller to bring back the NVME? If I recall, Linux doesn't do this (by default or at all) -- there's a hackish way to do it with setpci. I'd speculate if the bursts are g…

(Quote) And half-priced buffets? ;) And put a different way - you know you're old when you've had a domain longer than some posters have been alive.

What makes bandwidth so limited in Japan? For the level of technology and investment, I thought they'd have bandwidth to spare.

(Quote) What good is an idler if you can't run something to monitor uptime of your idlers. I have multiple virmach vpses running a mongoose based lightweight low memory web server.

(Quote) I dispute this, and offer myself to judgement of LES. I believe that either: 1. I have a code bug in my service, that only manifested on the German server (maybe because my logic didn't cover 10G NIC in Germany? 2. My bandwidth was artifi…
-
Ok, I feel smited by @VirMach I had a strange spike of bandwidth - https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/122652#Comment_122652 which led to the VPS being suspended for overbandwidth. So I was waiting for End Of Month to try to figure out w…

Damn it, I finally got my VirMach coal in the stockings as I got Cancellation for both my cutesy ones from the last day - both the 2.22 and the 6.66 one. Complain Moan Whine

(Quote) All that, AND you get Drama too! I'll second this as someone using this for my own education and development, Virmach provides an affordable multi-location setup, with no risk of cost overruns.

For an uniquely Virmach experience, I offer this suggestion for the sale: * Service offering is $3 year * Service starts and remains in Pending * Every so often (week? month?) Virmach goes through with a random number generator and enables some sma…

(Quote) I'm in the bad boy pit then - I didn't provisioned on the 20 -- I figure it'd get provisioned in time to move the 0.25 over to it. I was able to get the 6.66 and the 2.22 - I think if I didn't blink I would have gotten the 1.11 as well.

Another stupid question ... Where do I find the "CPU Utilization" graph in the SolusVM or in the graphs? I am guessing the actual "CPU Utilization" is the percentage shown by 'qemu' in the Host process list, which could be subs…

@Frankz - Was there ever a workaround or process for 'Invalid vserverid or username' ?

I managed to exceed bandwidth on an idler for the first time - Except, somehow I did it with NEGATIVE BANDWIDTH ?! (Image)

I think Virmach will get screwed on the whole thing. Both credit cards and paypal tend to side with the buyer by default. The question becomes whether some random contract worker will look at the screenshot and see the fees and mark it for the provi…
