it's not gonna be long now, probably tonight or tomorrow morning, if these are done manually maybe tomorrow i will get mine, if automatically, @ AM, but we will see, after waiting 12 days, what's some hours more?
21 hours? Thats long it used to be 5 hours
Shame it took nearly 2 weeks to come, but when i factor out weekends, i got it within 9 working days, so im happy enough. I'd rather they took their time building and testing it, rushing orders can only lead to problems down the line
Mine's 21471.... as well.
Hopefully I'll get it this week, or get it at all. Since I've paid with Paypal on the 25th (verified the same day).
An i5 can handle much more players... I'm talking about the terms&conditions on this plans, is there any limitations on software or game servers, etc..?
Nope, that's your dedicated and comes with DDOS protection, so they are fine with it. They only concern on network usage like Tor or Seeding.
Obviously didn't host a DayZ/ArmA2 server yet.
It does seem a long time, either 3 kimsufi's failed before me during testing, or its not a new drive, unless they had delays delivering
No it's a dedicated server.... no dedicated server providers limit gameserver use to my knowledge
For game servers, just be careful with UDP traffic as VAC is quite sensitive
Nope
I'll post as soon as there is a hostname or the server gets delivered 
And Lineage II, Bukkit (Minecraft), MTA, SA:MP, CS?
It's a kinda hard to control that xD
@Xaki I don't think it's a problem, cause it's 'your' dedicated hardware. If it runs 100% all the time, it won't affect others (execpt network maybe).
And I do hope that VAC is not that sensitive. I need UDP traffic for VPN, TeamSpeak and gameservers
@trexos VPN is not allowed at OVH anymore.
@xset Sucks, but I don't really need it. Anyway, I hope VAC is not that aggresive. But thanks for the information
@trexos Somebody run VPN servers at OVH and they got blocked yesterday by VAC... owner claimed there was no DDOS.. but who knows.. and Oles didn't want to unblock.
OpenVPN works with TCP also, just add protocol tcp, in server.conf
OK, this is a bit weird - my order that previously had a domain name in the order progress screen now has 'serveurdedie' in the domain fields; has that happened to anyone else?
I told you, threaten their family, that guy did, and they gave him your server (joke).
Anyway, I will look now and let you know
@Nekki yeah, mine has * instead of domain, I wouldn't worry much about that, support has said they will provide the servers, I guess we were lucky the first time when they did the random, but then they decided to go another way, and deliver by order number.
But about the gameservers using UDP , VAC will block the traffic or filter it?
Some people have complained about it
I think maybe OVH is trying to avoid seedboxes, so basically that is why they are so strict on UDP traffic, but I wouldn't know
I am running a SA-MP server (it uses UDP) with 350-400 players with mitigation forced (always on) and no have any problems with VAC.
What means mitigation forced? You can enable VAC manually?
Yes you can, here: https://api.ovh.com/console/#/ip
It can be always on or VAC automatically detect and add it to the mitigation (but as Oles said if the attack is to small it maybe can't detect).
And VAC can handle syn flood attacks?
I don't know what handling they do, but I think null routing is not called handling, basically from what I understand the VAC is to protect others, if you get DDOSed the others will not be affected, and from what I have looked in traceroutes provided by others when the VAC acts it nulls the IP, so basically the server is offline, and how these servers have 1 IPV4, well maybe you have some luck connecting to it using ipv6, if not, well, dead in the water.
What???
When VAC is activated the server is reachable!
When I got blocked by VAC some weeks ago my server isn't nulled, I just can't reach any of OVH servers. (Including OVH site.) So handling != null routing.
And from Oles post you can see it's indeed mitigation: "Just last week, a customer contacted me urgently because their site had been attacked by some discontented kid. 3 clicks later, the attack passed through VAC1 and the site www.prestashop.com was back up again. "
Yap, they filter the attacks!
