... who/what are you hosting that's painted such a huge, repeated target on your back? O_o  The way you phrased that makes it read like you've had to move from one DC to another due to DDoS following in your wake >_>

Not that I know of.  But if you did PM him first, then hattip to you for that sir. You probably shouldn't make base assumptions about soft commentary from passerby?  Trust me, it takes much more than you can dish to get me angry :)  If you really feel the urge to start dropping chatlogs as some...

Because Nick not having any trouble there wouldn't go too far towards validating the guy's complaints.  He just kinda waded in dick swinging, knowing full well that talking trash about the upstream could hurt Nick's sales.  If he wasn't just out for blood, the polite thing to do would've been...

This is the internet.  Being "targeted" is something companies simply have to accept.  You don't force potential clients to go out of their way as a response - you take preventative action against expected attacks. Sorry, but the whole "WHOIS privacy for protection" gag is pure BS.  If you're a...

Well, the best advice I could give there is re-reading the guide, and noticing that I specified a VM with a dedicated IP (Gate) as the primary :P  If you intend to run such a setup from your residential ISP, then I would suggest contacting them and requesting a dedicated IP.

Another way of ensuring said details are legitimate.  Also, have you seen most of the summer hosts that pop up?  You're lucky to get a licensed WHMCS install out of them, let alone a website not just blatantly ripped from someone else or a free HTML template with stolen graphics.

Hey folks.  This is a per-request follow-up to MannDude's SSH Gateway inquiry, about locking multiple VMs to only accept SSH from a single access point.  As always, ALWAYS RUN NEW CODE IN A DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT FOR TESTING BEFORE DEPLOYING TO PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT.  Also, all VMs referenced...

If you're doing KVM, I'd suggest offering the netinstall ISOs for the major distros as well.  Some folks (like myself, and I'm sure others) don't always go for 'minimal' or other prebaked templates, as we prefer having a fresh install that nobody else has had hands on.  Not insinuating that you...

Sure, I'll get that done this afternoon once I get caught up on work.

I tend to do KVM, so templates aren't really a factor.  For temporary dev/testing on OVZ though, the last two Stable Debians (and Gentoo where possible) are usually my choice.

Aye, sorry for jumping the gun there.  Had a bit of a kneejerk reaction to a first post being an order link to a provider XD Anyways, nice review!  Welcome to VPSB.. you should pop on over to the Introduction Thread and say hello :3

This looks like more of an ad/plug than a review. <_< Redacted.

Of course, the downside to the above is that if the Gateway's IP ever changes, you'd need an alternate means of accessing the VM in order to update the sshd_config (such as a control panel console, IPMI for hardware, etc).  Same can be said for most other methods too though (such as IPTables)...

Easiest solution is setting memorable host->IP pairs in your gateway's /etc/hosts file.  And for each VPS, have the /etc/ssh/sshd_config reflect the following: PermitRootLogin no RSAAuthentication no PubkeyAuthentication no PasswordAuthentication no Then, at the very bottom of...

And this is why I've been moving all of my data off of any server which I don't solely administrate.

I fall both ways on this.  When I'm doing tickets - if it's an issue I can have resolved in an hour or less, I just let the ticket sit until I'm finished.  If it's going to take me some time though, or something I need to confer with Fran/bz on, I'll let the client know what's happening, why I'm...

I applaud them for not, actually.  Seamus kinda looks at things like this the way I do - obligation is informing your clients, then unaffiliated mediums such as forums/etc.  I had a service with another provider for awhile... and it would always piss me off that I'd find out about changes/etc on...

If it's that big a deal to him, he can just go pay Limestone the 25$/m :3

Actually, my condition for coming off a delivery route and taking the IT spot at Coke was that they move the IT job from salary to hourly pay.  I want my damn overtime >_>

Might have something to do with all those *.br glines I've been passing >_>
