    OpenVPN help for newbie

    Tinkering with OpenVPN today for a friend.   Prior attempts in the past have been blah, too much hassle and never quite right. So in this test run I am going with one the VPN providers out there.  They provided a zip with certificate and various OpenVPN files for locations. A simple start of...

    VPN service / provider recommendations

    I've said this myself in the past to others :) This need isn't for me and I am not interested in hand holding/providing services.  Just lending a hand to a friend.

    VPS test script.... updated freevps

    Many folks still use the good old freevps script to pace new VPSs. Saw a more updated take off somewhere lately.   Someone have / know of such?

    Cloudflare - why backends are easy to find

    ^--- super cool!  More posts from Sunshine! This situation shows the value of DDoS services from BuyVM, SecureDragon, RamNode, etc.   Show the filtered IP....  Heck I eliminate the non filtered IP entirely :)

    Big RAM VPS - who actually uses them and for what?

    RAM abuse/use ---assuming here that you actually have RAM to use in such ways and the server isn't smacking SSDs mocking RAM.... Only way it really would work is if you have other servers in the same facility with super low latency.... I mean it will work if your other servers are 50ms away...

    Big RAM VPS - who actually uses them and for what?

    These are good uses.  You mentioned KVM... Take it these are higher priced plans?  Not the < $7 month ones?

    Cloudflare - why backends are easy to find

    This is so true.   No real way to hide from such either.   You would have to disable all upload functionality and anything that HTTP GETs things from remote servers. I am sure true network ninjas could do something to further protect things.  NAT?  Anycast? Generically, I guess one could...

    Big RAM VPS - who actually uses them and for what?

    It has been a while since I was last roped into trying one of the abundant 2GB and larger VPS plans. Last go round (and I tried multiple providers over six month span) all failed.  Usually the provider would have a fit as I loaded a test dataset into MySQL and consumed disk IO + CPU. While...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    I am a tea drinker :)  I don't have night or day.  My schedule is when things need done I get up and do them.   So I am often around.   Nights tend to be quieter and I can focus more then (usually).   Lately it's been 24/7 go-go with work.

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    Damn it man! Look, selling 4GB of RAM + 8GB of burst + +++++ = not sustainable. Are you rolling out large RAM (i.e. 128GB+) servers?   I doubt it.   Probably the 16/32GB house E3's.   I am betting to save cash, 16GB of RAM.   So you are allocating 1/4 of the entire server RAM per container or...

    List of VPS/Dedi providers using Colo Crossing

    GVH-Jon, I want to like and believe your offers, but I've been at this general data thing longer than I think you've been alive.    I saw plans at < $7 a month with 30TB+ of bandwidth a month.   Not to get the providers here up in a stir, but I am certain there are enough of them that aren't...

    VPN service / provider recommendations

    Have the need for several VPN accounts. Emphasis on true and tried providers with good track record and established business.  Interest in privacy, lack of logging and multiple locations with a big enough IP pool. Anyone recommend companies that qualify that you have used / are using?
