(Quote) They do have ipv6, so I just use that.
-
(Quote) Most of my clients are in Europe so I don't really need that...but yeah, I might do it just for the awesome Grafana dashboard I could make with metrics from the whole world. :smile:

I have 5 x mrvm that I use for monitoring. Being able to measure things from different networks in different parts of the world for basically no money at all is awesome. They all collect metrics and feed it to a central Influxdb which is then used b…

Really nice, thank you.

Among the lowend players, I think Racknerd should be mentioned. Not a longtime player yet, but it seems like they are growing fast. Big boys not mentioned yet are Ionos by 1and1 (www.ionos.com) and MissHosting (www.misshosting.com). 1and1 is gigant…

I agree with KamalW. Barracuda is poorly maintained and seems to be run by total assholes. I have never in my life sent spam or abused in any way, still I have spent many many hours fighting to get removed from Barracuda's list. Sometimes successfu…

(Quote) I'm using restic, and I must say I really like it. It's lightweight, easy to use, efficient and very scriptable.
-
(Quote) Hell yeah, I would switch my linux NAT vps's for jails in a second!
-
My guess is that Netflix doesn't really care if you use VPN or not, so they probable does not have all the latest bells and whistles when it comes to detecting it. The restriction on content in different parts of the world comes from the big movieco…

I actually really like Discord. It's fast, easy and efficient. For pure bullshit and chitchat it's perfect. As a business, privacy becomes a concern. But then there is always Mattermost, which you can run selfhosted.

I had similar issues a while ago so I tested a lot of solutions, but landed on Authy. The only thing that bugs me a little is that it is not open source, but I feel that the company behind it is solid enough to be trusted as much as anything else (w…

(Quote) Oh no, you are by far not the only idiot, there are plenty of you out there. ;) I'm glad you took my comment the right way, now that I read it again I realize that it might have sounded a far bit harsher then intended. I apologize even if …

(Quote) Well, if you chose to agree upon a contract you haven't even read, that is your choice, but don't assume that everyone is equally stupid.
-
(Quote) Well, if the cancellation policy is stated in the contract and you have agreed to that contract, most people in Germany (or Europe as a whole I would imagine) would consider it your own fault for agreeing to it. We simply hate people that t…
-
I would say pretty much every point you made can be said about Swedish providers as well, take it from a native Swede that have lived and worked in Germany. We are very similar when it comes to consumer protection, the customers have a lot of protec…
-
(Quote) I second that. In most cases I just need space, not performance. I have no need for ssd/nvme and lots of ram and cpu.
-
Since we are on the topic, can someone explain the purpose of the "nameservers" boxes? I see them almost every time I sign up for a vps, but I have never been able to figure out what they do. It doesn't seem to matter what you put there, t…
-
I have a vps in Norway, and it's been having a lot of packetloss and timeouts lately. As I'm typing this it is unreachable from seven other locations, but reachable from two.
-
I've used http://www.gestioip.net/ a few times. It's not perfect, but in many cases sufficient.
-
(Quote) I don't blame you, at first glance Acronis can look like a bit of a mess, but its really just one product with different packaging/licensing. Once you get to know their AnyData Engine then you can use all of their products, the rest is just …
-
(Quote) Changing ssh port doesn't really make it secure, it just makes it harder to find. If you truly believed security by obscurity worked, you would change your ssh port and then have no passwords. Hopefully, you don't do that. Real security i…
-
(Quote) Probably the service provider licensing, they have lots of licensing options and integrates well with cpanel, whmcs and most others.
-
I use 5 of the mrvm ipv6-only with 256M as monitoring satellites and route reflectors. Works like a charm, they do their job so well I usually forget about them even existing.
-
(Quote) Certified ACE and ABE here, glad to hear Acronis works for you. :)
-
Security by obscurity doesn't really work, imho. But yeah, I guess an obscure enough subdomain would be equally difficult to guess as a password. You could even mitigate bruteforce attacks by blacklisting clients with to many 404 etc. But still, I w…

It all depends on the requirements. For personal stuff and VPS's it's a mix of tar, rsync and restic. Lately, I've moved more and more towards restic since I've found it to be easy, reliable and powerful. It's easy to script and automate and also f…

(Quote) True. I forgot idling, and "just collecting vps's". :smile:
-
If I had privacy concerns, I would not use Cloudflare either. Just imagine the amount of data they are able to collect if they want to.
-
(Quote) Nagios is extremely flexible, if you know how to use it. It is not a turn-key solution, and its not really good for metrics. Nagios is more of a "alert, this happened right now" solution. But properly configured and teamed with a t…
