I don't know about that but if I invoice a client for $50 I get $50 in my bank account. Their FAQ says they don't add any fees to the buyer. I'll go check though.

@Flapadar I just checked the last 6 reports we got in the past 60 days and they all are for downloading (1 client confirmed he was downloading and all 6 VPSs show inbound traffic with little to no outbound).

@splitice I wonder if we're using the same BitPay, here's the automated response we got: I find it very strange that their automated responses are different for the same function.

Straight from their website:

Never got the e-mail but it looks like their Approved Volume tiers aren't working anyways. Applying for the correct tier anyways just in case.

We get a few reports a month (although last week we got about 6 of them for different IPs) against VPNs our clients are running that are used to download pirated content. It's usually from somebody running a VPN service versus a private VPN.

Oh. dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync ioping -c4 / hdparm -t /dev/vda1

When William got busted, the VPS provider he was using had their whole VPS node taken according to the reports at the time. If what @SkylarM says is true, that's one thing but having read about whole VPS nodes being taken in raids I'm erring on the side of caution because if our nodes were...

dd, ioping, and hdparm -t

Lack of man power to ensure clients are not running exit nodes. I don't feel like digging through every client's TOR config file and see whether it's configured properly and then having to check it every day to make sure they didn't change it. Just not enough hours in the day. I did find a nice...

Yes, there's a tutorial on LET for this I believe. Essentially you're just running a VPN client and server on a single VPS, nothing fancy.

@tonyg Yeah, I'm glad they didn't try to BS me or I would have canceled already. They offered to migrate me for free when the new node is online so now I play the waiting game. :)

@sleddog Can you post your IO speeds for Kihi? I find it strange they are putting new clients on an overloaded node if other nodes are running fine. My results: IO Writes are 17-18MB/s. IOs Per Second are 29-130 IOPS. IO Reads are 76-89MB/s Their response: Unfortunately the node that...

Or... C. None of the above. There are other reasons why providers don't allow non-exit node besides the two you listed.  ;)

Because we don't want our servers disappearing in the night.

@Asim what is your budget? I can offer you the above mentioned plan for cheap if you're willing to pay yearly.

Our KVM is a bit pricey, but here's our (not advertised) 256MB KVM plan in case you're interested: 256MB Dedicated RAM 15GB Disk Space (SAS 15K RAID10) 500GB Bandwidth 1 IPv4 Address 16 IPv6 Addresses 2 CPU Cores SolusVM 1Gbps Port Tampa or Denver $8.99/Month $89.90/Year

I should really look into this also. As much as I like the SolusVM SSH wrapper method, it's about time I come up with my own solution. I'll update this thread if I figure something out (ideally if somebody has a good method please post it here so I can be lazy). :)

I never thought of that. I only have a single 27" monitor at home so I never looked into a multiple monitor setup with my devices.

Since my remote boxes are Windows I use FreeRDP on my RPi2. The experience is great and in all honesty it's hard to tell that you're not running the OS locally unless you're trying to watch movies (in which case I would switch to my ODroid C1, tablet, smartphone, or netbook to watch the videos...
