    BlueVM OpenVZ 512 MB (CH)

    Thanks for the information, although I had hoped for a different answer. I would prefer native IPv6 to setting up yet another tunnel. And as PrivateLayer itself is IPv6 enabled, it's just sad that BlueVM doesn't seem able to hook their customers up to that. :(

    BlueVM OpenVZ 512 MB (CH)

    Do I understand correctly that you have/had working native IPv6 on that VPS? When I asked way back (August/September 2013) for my VPS in that location, the answer I received was that the Feathur IPv6 module was still finishing development. And re-activating that support ticket now resulted in a...

Debian is nice enough to just "do the right thing" when installing Dropbear on a system that already has a running OpenSSH server and uses encrypted volumes. If you don't provide your own SSH public key for login before installation...

    Should you encrypt your hard drive on a server

    A neat trick for the whole encrypted disk setup is to have Dropbear (or another SSH server) running in the initial RAM disk, waiting for you to connect manually and unlock the encrypted partition or even better have a script do that automagically. Way more comfortable than having to resort to...

    Should you encrypt your hard drive on a server

    For full disk encryption, I recently came across this nice tutorial: http://blog.tincho.org/posts/Setting_up_my_server:_re-installing_on_an_encripted_LVM/ Written for a Dedi use case, but can be done on a KVM VPS as well.
