    Apparently tomorrow the OpenSSL team is releasing a new update and are urging people to update as soon as it's made available. Apparently there's a serious bug fix involved. https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2015-March/000020.html

    Why do vps providers not allow TOR?

    How did I know about illegal downloads? From DMCA notices sent either to me and/or to the datacenter. The IP will correspond to someone who admits to running a VPN/proxy. I don't know what relevance there is to downloading vs seeding on a VPN. Once you connect to the tracker anyone can view your...

    FBI Seeks To Legally Hack You If You're Connected To TOR or a VPN

    We all know the only people who want privacy are criminals, that's why I only enter my credit card via HTTP.

    Why do vps providers not allow TOR?

    Just as much as TLS & VPN are used for "shady" usage. I know several local journalists who use Tor. You should know better than to believe the nonsense most mainstream media spits out to scare people. I've allowed Tor relays with no more issues than "allowing" VPN's. In fact, I have more issues...

    BBS software?

    You might be able to get Discourse running on such a VPS, but that seems insanely low for memory in today's age.

    Seems like UrPad was hit by the IPMI Vuln.

    I wouldn't say it was bad luck, they had a forward facing out of band management interface. I don't understand why any would do that, but even so this is after several security researchers noted of numerous security issues. There is no reason to have an interface that doesn't really receive...

    OpenVPN - very strange problem.

    What virtualization? Have you tried connecting via a Linux client? I have never used VPN on Windows so I can't be of much help.
