@terrorgen totally understand what you are saying but to me it just seems like 'we' are just wasting v6 like 'we' initially wasted v4. (Quote)
-
(Quote) I only did it because I genuinely felt you were letting many of us down - the criticism was to the company rather than the person (appreciate it is often hard to separate). AMSD018 - its been off (for me) so long, so yes I agree. Don't…
-
I never understood the obsession with large IPv6 address ranges. As a provider I need enough to support my clients and each client as @somik suggests should only need 1 v6 per vm. But lets give a client a /123 , why should they actually need a /96. …
-
(Quote) Our donors offer /64 so we subdivide it to our clients. We could possibly request more /64 but that just creates extra work for the donor and also us. We have had no pushback giving out /96.
-
@globalone - you are welcome. You have NAT IPv4 and a /96 IPv6 subnet allocated. In your VPS email it gives you your NAT ipv4 access details (as well as ipv6). We also just introduced NPM (details just above) a reverse proxy which allows forwarding …
-
(Quote) If there was abuse, we should be given a domain name (IP is of no benefit) and in NPM it is very clear who the domain belongs to and their VPS. Not necessary to 'explore' VPS which we / I would NEVER allow.
-
Emails have been sent to clients using NAT (excluding uk1 as this will be deleted on 25th of Jan) on nodes us1, mol1 and buc1 giving details of using NPM. There is also a web page detailing the change. Happy for the community to help each other wit…
-
@somik Agreed - a client running their own forward proxy is something I had considered. However they could be doing it without NPM via v6 or (on some of our nodes we do give v4 addresses) v4. So I don't really see this creating any more of a pr…

@somik pointed this thread out to me (thanks) and we continued our discussion in my thread announcing our use of NPM reverse proxy.
-
(Quote) :) Glad we agree. I have put a link in your thread to here (hope that is ok). I am always happy to help any provider if they want more detail. NPM is of course giving access to 80 / 443 traffic but that does not have to be 80 / 443 on the NA…
-
@somik - that was an interesting read. Our version of NPM developed by @NStorm locks any domain created, directly to the internal NAT v4 address. The client cannot override this. The client can create their wildcard letsencrypt cert for their domain…

(Image) Although we have been quiet recently (and so have you) things have been really moving at FOSSVPS. FOSSVPS is associated with the development of Open Source Software and that is what we have been working on. There are two current projects …

(Quote) True but at least we can guarantee a service if it is running.

@VirMach not sure I should be specially singled out but apology accepted thank you. Two VPS on AMSD018 down for maintenance for 4 months so far and you just left us :'( May be cheeky to ask but why not - how about a donation of a dedi to FOS…
-
Just a bump in case anyone on uk1 missed the above posts. The node will be destroyed on the 25th of January.
-
We are always available and happy to help - link in sig :)
-
Happy to say thats another VM cancelled - was working fine but no point just waiting for it / @VirMach (the company) to die. What a waste, Soheil should have sold the company if they could not cope. I am sure the company assets (customers) are dimi…

For those currently on uk1 server. Doing an automated migration is challenging particularly with static IPv4, NAT and IPv6. Doing it manually is a big job and prone to errors. So the best and simplest solution would be to create new VMs and allow y…

(Image) Server termination notice With regret I wanted to update everyone using the uk1 server (hosted by Onlyservers) that it will terminate on 25th of January. This is because the server was apparently won in a raffle and donated to FOSSVPS (p…

(Image) What a great Christmas present !!!! Thanks to Alexhost They have very kindly extended their Moldova server until 31st January 2027 We still have space available for a free VPS for Open Source Developers. Community comments have been po…
-
I have been busy and wanted to say, we are getting into alpha testing of a big new feature at FOSSVPS giving our NAT users some great benefits.... Won't say more apart from you should have it 'soon' (New Year or earlier). Happy Chris…

So this is not LIFETIME Web Hosting Come on its in the title !!!!
-
Thanks @jcn50 Agreed about support - Proxmox can seem intimidating when you first use it ;) As far as different package sizes - I think everyone would just choose the largest so we need some restriction. I suppose it all depends what you are deve…
-
@stxsh Thanks for your support / comments. I am talking about nested virtualization so developers can run what they wish. Understand Proxmox 'complexity' but it is very flexible with VNC, snapshots, backups etc. So would a developer prefe…
-
(Quote) Yep that pretty much sums up the story. But how can you read this thread - it is 423 pages so far and you are supposed to be developing stuff !!! I would hope that many users will switch to using your service if not for the short but longer …
-
(Quote) Sorry I disagree - This is free and I / we have no interest in your data other than to email VM details or important updates. Fair point about Cloudflare although NAT is working very well with port forwards. Agreed about snapshots but I woul…
-
@yoursunny Great points thanks. Ephemeral. Could disappear at any moment! Clueless™ Administrator! :) Ephemeral is more to do with the donors than us - we will be around. I think ephemeral should go. As far a Clueless™ Administrator! that was Tom…

Been having some 'internal' discussions and interested in your views. * Is trust an issue when registering with us (we want your email address) or do you consider paying a business more trustworthy? * Is a static IPv4 really important - w…
-
(Quote) Thank you, I was not aware of the background. FOSSVPS may have stricter rules but it is working and we have around 50+ users (and growing). The automation, registration, authorisation and provisioning is working and uses bash so easy to port…
-
(Quote) It was not even intended to have a title just like yours, last time i checked a title cannot be copyrighted? Are you just trying to be annoying - who cares about a title / copyright. You knew what we were doing, you even said we were one o…
-
(Quote) Yes it was the point. I had no knowledge that you had done the same and something done three years ago is certainly different to a post with almost the same title on the same front page. If I had known of you and your efforts I would have as…

(Quote) I did not - Tom setup FOSSVPS.

It would have made more sense to discuss first. We have the necessary software for checking, authorising and building vms which I am sure you would find beneficial and I would have been very happy to share and collaborate on. As I said, I am disapp…

Well that does not sound like the spirit of Open Source. Collaborate and improve, branch if not evolving the way you like. I wish you well but I am disappointed.
