I have always loved the NAT VPS idea but with changing requirements "My requirements" I haven't got as many as I usually do, @mikho is a great choice for them along with @AnthonySmith and @cam.
One of them is mine. I ended up with something this Black Friday after all.
Smart aren't we? Tempting others to spend their $$ while protecting your own :-)
Which one did you get by the way? I am guessing the "Asia package" but 256 MB or 128 MB option?
I got the Asia 256mb package. I am leaving my beastly PC in my university to run AI stuff 24/7 but because of the university's NAT, I needed a cheap VPS in Asia (latency issues) to RDP by tunnelling through SSH on the VPS and now I got it with two other spares.
Twice yesterday I tried to order, both times something came up and the network got disconnected (ordering from mobile, grr.. elevators. more grr..) No regrets- just checked- the SG standalone ones are available still at regular price. That's the one I was most interested in, might get it separately later.
I bought a USA bundle, they are pretty good.
I got a small problem with my US-NY node nat vps: the ipv4 with that vps is fine, but the ipv6 is not working.
I have submitted a ticket(#252582) for this but no respose for 3 days.
@mikho - can you post updated looking glasses for the new locations (seems like you have Bucharest RO, Milan IT, US-New York, US-Seattle). I hope there'll be a bundle-up offer for existing bundle customers to increase their idling world dominion.
I hope New York is New York City (or thereabouts) and not a certain upstate New York location.
Also any word on taking over @AnthonySmith's LES Japan location as yet?

I hope I will get around to inatalling the looking glass this weekend.
I’m still looking at alternatives. I have a backup plan, but there is something ”better” that I’m hoping for.

Known issue, working on it, seems to be a node/routing issue.
Looks like the node changes the vps gateway to the nodes own ipv6.
nullnothere said: Looks like you're behind CF - so I can't really ping to get a sense of latencies.
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 helped a lot.
If you want to see latency from your location, you can try ping it01.d.sb which is my MrVM VPS in Milan.
Edit: 193.234.225.89 is the public shared IPv4 in case you want to test IPv4 pings too.

Nice tool, Daniel. Tried playing around with it, discovered a few oops'es on a couple of my sites already. :-)

I might just have to have a look for some more![;) ;)](https://dev.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/wink.png)
I just got one. I hope i'm still in time
@mikho Any known issues with Singapore? After reimaging with the Debian 10 image, it just refuses to boot![:( :(](https://dev.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/frown.png)

I had one ticket about it earlier.
Will have a check in the morning, was about to go to bed now.

I think maybe @cam also would be interested in this (seen a similar issue on one server) ...

Got the APAC bundle, nice.

When I pressed re-install on SG, there was two debian10 in the list. Maybe one of them was debian9?
Actually no, they actually is listed twice![:) :)](https://dev.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png)
I’ve removed one and it should show only one by now.
https://clients.mrvm.net
i want oneeee! =(
@mikho can you AlpineOS image?![<3 <3](https://dev.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/heart.png)
@foxone There isn't one for OpenVZ, but you can install Debian and use this script- https://gist.github.com/trimsj/c1fefd650b5f49ceb8f3efc1b6a1404d

Thank you my darling
Ooh, I guess it should work with CentOS/whatever as well...![:) :)](https://dev.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png)
Should, but haven't tried.

Recent one is in this thread
I've got Milan via MrVM on https://beta.dnstools.ws/ if you want to try pings/traceroutes.

Looks like you're behind CF - so I can't really ping to get a sense of latencies. No worries though (and thanks for the offer!)
That will be nice. I'll wait to figure out which part of the world to colonize idle-ise next.
Of course one could argue that if you are truly idling, latency doesn't matter.
