Is this Comcast? They intercept ports 80 and 443 of my Buffalo VPS but I can still ssh. Apparently that server's IP range is in some kind of scam of phishing blacklist.
-
420 ;). Meanwhile I got IP change notice for NYCB022. Is that still Buffalo these days? I didn't get any notices for SJC.

(Quote) If you have an ASN, getting your own v6 space should be pretty easy still. It is v4 that is difficult. (Quote) This doesn't sound worthwhile. v6-only is almost as good, in the event that the VPS's dedicated v4 address goes away. Whatever…
-
(Quote) For dedicated servers too? Yikes. Can someone tell me what MJJ is? Malaysian Jiu-Jitsu? I only know about the Brazilian kind. If I understand the Tokyo stowaway thing, it sounds crazy that they haven't been booted, but it is also a seri…

How does an IP address get stolen from a VPS, except through someone getting to the control panel somehow?
-
(Quote) Same thing as before, can't seem to reboot from panel. Should I assume the disk is trashed, and reinstall the OS? It's a slight nuisance if the old data is lost, but I can deal with it. Aha, I was able to connect with VNC, which didn't wo…
-
Ah ok, I will check again in a few days I guess. Thanks.
-
Looks like SJC2008 is reachable from billing panel again, which is great, it had been unreachable before. Is this node still having network issues? Billing and control panels say my VPS is offline, attempting reboot doesn't change it, it's unreach…

This being LES, I expect that for most of us, low cost dominates everything else.
-
(Quote) I think people mostly want raw capacity. More drives = more rack space, more power consumption, more separate bits of hardware to fail, etc. Better to use large drives, but enough for raid 6. Whenever the Hetzner SX line is refreshed they…
-
I was thinking more like 4x or maybe 6x, enough for raid-6 to not burn too much of the space. Although, borg backup to one or your storage vps might be an alternative.
-
This is nice, a version with more drives would also be interesting.
-
I'm now getting ticket updates saying the invoices were bogus and are being cancelled.
-
I just got 3 different $15 "IP blacklist" invoices and tickets for a VPS that has been offline for months. The IP address specified is not the one that the VPS was originally been on, though maybe it got migrated. The tickets say "w…
-
(Quote) That is interesting. Some years ago providers were leery of crypto payments but a few took a chance on them and were pleasantly surprised to find very little abuse. I guess that didn't last. Thanks for keeping us informed.
-
What people are trying to tell you is that Virmach's systems are very broken right now, there is ticket overload, there is no way to predict when or whether anything will be fixed or working. You may not like that answer but that is the only answer…
-
(Quote) It's ok in my case. I'm not really affected by the outages in the sense that both my VPS in SJ are idlers these days. It seemed to me though that many other nodes were also having hw trouble, suggesting some kind of flaky hw selection and/…
-
Bah, SJC vps crashed while I was compiling Python 3.10 on it, which takes a couple of cpu minutes. I don't know how far it got but it was partway through. I hope one compilation didn't make the node overheat and crash. Is there some crappy hardwa…
-
Glory be, one of my SJC VPS's is back online. That's the one that has been down a few times over the past few months. The other has been down the whole time. Let's hope the upcoming DC visit helps.
-
(Quote) No they adopted that policy a year or two ago. Originally mining was permitted, then the cloud server cpus got hosed with it so they banned it on cloud servers but still permitted it on dedis. Then I think it was Chia that got out of hand,…
-
(Quote) I have two SJC VPS on separate nodes and both are unreachable from client area, so I think more than one SJC node is down.
-
@Virmach if the cpus are overheating, do you not notice that from software temperature monitoring using the sensors in the mobos? This sounds like the boards weren't properly put together with regard to thermal paste etc. They really need to be te…
-
Do you need someone to go to the SJ data center and mess with stuff? I know people in that area who might be available.
-
I guess I'm currently 2/4 depending. 2 of 3 vps up (one has been random, one is partly blacklisted by comcast), 1 vps with disconnected node for at least a month, vpsshared down but idk if that "counts".
-
Oh that's interesting, I didn't realize that. That makes it more attractive, though I'll stick with FOSS stuff since I'm a die-hard about that. Thanks.
-
I also have one of those and the host node is down. It occurs to me that because the control panel times out connecting to it, maybe I can't migrate it to another location.
-
(Quote) Maybe hosting isn't the right word, but having an account with the company and giving them access to your linux collection. This type of thing should be 100% private.
-
It just seems nuts that people let some company host this stuff for them, instead of self-hosting. That's an awful lot of linux isos.
-
Yep it looks like the IP address of mine has changed. The new address responds to ping, so it's not nullrouted like the old one. But it times out for ftp and http. Well it's a start.
-
Having cloudflare and server delays/timeouts trying to log into billing.virmach.com. I managed to connect after a few tries but it is still very slow. DDOS?
-
(Quote) Interesting, mine has been unreachable for months, supposedly because CC had permanently nullrouted the node IP. I ended up moving my site from it to a VPS. Was yours in Buffalo? It would be nice if I could get access to mine, even if it'…

Problems at the machine room.
-
Do Alphavps or Letbox have any storage offers remotely as economical as Servarica's? I have enough storage right now but am always looking for deals.
-
SJC2005 appears to be offline (was ok a few days ago, idk when it went out), and other SJC server (SJC2003?) has been out for quite a while. Client alert area says SJC2008 is having trouble. Altogether it sounds like the whole SJ site is not doing…
-
That sounds like a reasonable plan: although, a 1U server (not counting drives) tends to cost at least as much as a 2U, and in some data centers, an extra 1U of rack space doesn't cost much either (it's electric power and bandwidth that cost). So y…
-
(Quote) Try vda1 instead of vda.
-
Fran had vps stock last time I looked, just not in the smallest size, which may be de facto discontinued because of ipv4 costs. No idea about slab availability.
-
Have you tried Hetzner (Finland) or OVH (Poland)? No idea if that would work any better for LV but might be something to try.
-
Now that goes way back. That company was acquired a year or so ago and all the prices went up, I think. They were never that great to begin with, though they were sometimes low priced. I'd say just find something else that you like.
-
Yeah I think there is a SJC server in the same condition.
