Migration Announcement

All VMs on the following node: uk-1.nat.natvps.uk will be migrated to a new node on January 28th 2023.

How do I know if I am on this node?

Your private IPv4 Address will be on the following subnet: 10.100.1.x

Why is this migration taking place?

The current server is old, we purchased this server when NatVPS was founded, over the last year the monthly price of this server has increased almost 4x. Not only this but the hardware is poor in comparison to our latest offerings, the disks are slowly dying and it is basically becoming unmaintainable.

We don't want the performance and stability of this node to reflect on our quality of service and we also do not want to increase costs. A migration is the only option at this point.

Your external IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses WILL change. We will communicate your new IPs a week prior to the migration to allow everyone to prepare.

---

We are offering everyone the chance to self migrate!

If you would like to migrate before this time please open a ticket and specify the location you would like to migrate to. We will be offering migrations to our UK, FR and CA nodes.

All users that self migrate will receive DOUBLE the RAM allocation that you currently have.

How does a self migration work?

We will allocate a new VPS to your Micronode account for 7 days to allow you to transfer everything over, after this 7 day period your existing VPS will be terminated.

---

What if I do not self migrate?

Your VPS will be down for up to 8 hours on Saturday 28th January 2023. Once your VPS comes back online it will have new IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses. Your data should remain intact although we recommend you take backups prior.

Where is the new node located?

The new node will be hosted with OVH and located in London.
We understand that OVH is not everyone's first choice however please understand that we are not increasing costs for our service which is already incredibly cheap. The alternative would have been to increase prices by 4x from the next billing cycle.

If you are still completely against being hosted within OVH we will offer pro rata refunds where over 4 months of the billing period is remaining.

We hope everyone understands the need for this migration, we're affected greatly by the price increases being not only a small provider but also at our highly competitive prices. The user experience on the new nodes will also be a vast improvement.

Migration is underway now, we expect this to be complete within the next few hours.

WHY IS MY VPS OFFLINE. I am losing billions I pay you in British Pound. < can't get enough of loling

Most VMs are now back online, there are around 50 remaining on the data copy.

All users can now see their new VMs in the Micronode panel.

I guess mine self migrate can be closed now since it went with everyone else.

We still have some self migrations in the backlog, we'll leave them open for now and double the resources as promised.

We just ran out of time prior to the migration.

And its done!

The load across the 2 nodes is slightly higher than we'd like due to all of the migrated VMs booting. This is slowly coming down and we are monitoring closely.

We explained the reasons for this above, if you have over 4 months remaining on your billing cycle you are entitled to a partial refund.

Please open a ticket as well as a cancellation request if you require the partial refund.

Migration Announcement
All VMs and Instances on the following node: fl-1.nat.natvps.uk will be migrated to a new node on February 18th 2023.

How do I know if I am on this node?
Your private IPv4 Address will be on the following subnet: 10.200.1.x

Why is this migration taking place?
We initially went small with the Finland location as we were not sure what the uptake would be. As its been fairly successful and there is a demand for service in this location so we have decided to scale up, The new nodes will still be located in the Creanova data center.

Your external IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses WILL change. We will communicate your new IPs prior to the migration to allow everyone to prepare.

New Instances Location Added
This one is for a bit of fun but gives everyone a bonus location. The server is located in an undisclosed location although all traffic is routed out of Amsterdam via a site to site link.

These instances are provisioned with double resources
For example if you provision with 256mb RAM and 5GB disk you will receive 512mb RAM and 10GB disk.

Node Specifications:
Intel Core i3 6th Gen
NVME (RAID 1)
DDR4 RAM

Network:
Gigabit port, network is provided over long range WIFI so latency can be sporadic - Expect around 200mbps Down and 50mbps up.

Technically DMCA ignored although if we receive a DMCA takedown from the provider we will need to enforce it.

Goes without saying down to the nature of this, there is no guarantee, support or SLAs for this location, its just here for a bit of fun.

MTU 1500, or is some headroom eaten away?

MTU 1500 although the latency is less than ideal and there is likely contention on the S2S link. It is purely for fun, don't expect the networking to be great.

Also just deployed a NL NAT instance

I can hit your instance over ssh, are you using the right port?

I just deployed NL instance. Worked without issues. A tad slow compared to UK but other than that..

@natvps_uk 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?

@natvps_uk Any plans for an Asian location soon?

Plot twist it is in Calin's basement just geolocated.

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

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
