EDIS - NEW: Moscow, RUSSIA & Bucharest, ROMANIA - VPS from 17.40EUR / yr
Hello, Hello,
EDIS is proud to present 2 new locations:
- Bucharest, Romania (not Voxility) - http://ro.edis.at 31.215.205.1 2a03:f80:40::1
- Moscow, Russia - http://ru.edis.at 213.183.56.1 2a02:150:7::1
All VRS and KVM Services are available there, and our LEB offer:
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/edis-e5-512mb-kvm-vps-in-12-countries-atchdeuksefrplitisesnl-us/
Is applicable as well to both locations.
So why still wait? Why not grab a 5EUR (/mo ex. VAT) 512MB KVM in Russia as VPN? or a 17.40EUR (/yr ex. VAT) VRS Micro? 
Comments
Awesome, great stuff, will grab one soon.
Glad you finally got into Russia.
Russia, neat.
I can hear the abuse alarm going off, though.
Edis was made for this, @William is anyways
Terrible, terrible route to the RU location
Will there be some adjusting or will it stay this way?
You guys are ALL wrong!
William just wanted more Tor PoPs and gave EDIS some colo as benefit
!
Kidding, good job
Believe it or not, Russia seems to be the new refuge, the new jungle where political activists and privacy advocates will run to hide from the long arm of the entertainment industry and US administration on Big Corp Inc. payrolls.
If that fails there is Transnistria (a failed russian puppet mafia state), China (as long as you dont touch their taboos) and a few other countries in south america. Perhaps others, not sure.
As paypal cut off some countries, the US providers will not route their IPs so US citizens will use VPNs or there will be a whole new layer over TCP/IP to isolate, encrypt and anonymise traffic, something like freenet does, but without their design flaws.
Even if a country will be cut-off completely, either by own will or at the DoS/DoJ order, there will always be bridges, over radio, over satellite, over landlines, stopping the information is much harder than stopping the people. It will never happen, no matter how much money and collateral damages are "invested" in this new war on information.
We do not route our own IPs in Russia so no route adjustment is possible or required.
What you see here is the Cogent-Level3 feud that goes on since around 10 years now, they only peer in New York.
tl;dr: Blame your cable ISP for getting bought by UPC/LGI which is a Level3 only user without peering ('wannabe Tier1').
Lolwhat.

But yeah if those activists and advocates are indeed running towards here, then I will welcome them with open arms, maybe they will help to turn around the situation that's getting worse with every passing day.
Unlike in US, Russia is very far behind censorship, it is going worse everywhere and it will reach the smaller countries too.
But Russian "hackers" will be able to "route around" these issues, as I said, a new Internet layer will be born sooner or later, there is a pressing necessity for a fully encrypted, redundant and distributed layer over the internet where censorship will have a hard time going.
It will bring the worse out of people, i agree, but there is no such thing as a too high price for freedom.
@Jack i believe they just bought it in Russia, instead of shipping it and dealing with customs.
I think too, the importer has own ppl in the customs who knows whom to bribe.
@William no 128mb micro offer on KVM for those locations?
Sure, there is.
Correct.
@william any chance of the Edis – €11,95/Year KVM in your choice of 10 locations running again?
Is there a reason for not choosing Voxility beside the temperature
No chance, this was a one time thing.
BW quality is horrible, they don't have IPv6, host too much questionable and plainly illegal content and have massive temperature issues in their DC.
Also recurring(!) fees for BGP announces, no BGP sessions etc. etc.
@William I just finished upstream BW comparing from Edis RO and Voxility to 3 Hub Locations.I did not notice any horrible quality.Where do you see that horrible BW ?
Download Test@Newjersey:
Download Test@Amsterdam:
Download Test@Frankfurt:
Not compareable, Voxility is Gbit (and as you can see on your speeds, horrible - never more than 27MB/s which is just around 250Mbit) while we are 100Mbit.
Voxility is also a mainly Level3 shop, causing issues from some ISPs in Europe (the Cogent users/owned ones)
I expected lower than 100mbps speed for the definition of horrible
Service is already down. ping replies but can't access vps. Good Start!
No known issues today... in neither locations.
tun/tap can be enabled on vrs?
No, this is not supported by the technology itself.
@William B/W is out only our in+out?
In+Out v4 and v6.
