Lol
This.
I really do like the idiocy of this person.
Mun
I just love that quadruple-quote text.
Why would you post this? O.o
@CastleServer : Posted it to share - Quotes make it center and attractive
I have no special connections with URPD
--
This highlights the power of the internet. Nothing is secret anymore lol.
+1 for posting this.
i am thanking of using this as a public dns server that filtered ads,
most of the the dns servers that offers this also filter the porn - my will just filter the ads.
@painfreepc : How does DNS filter ads?
Don't even try. They kick you if you hit a few hundred connections. Also, reflection attacks.
By blocking known hostnames.
i am doing it now with MaraDNS - give me a few minutes i will set it up on one my vps's,
i will post IP - then change your PC dns to my dns server..
Is it worth to buy this offer?
My DNS ad filtering server - 5.175.145.150
Set your pc dns to - 5.175.145.150
test using this site - you will see top, right and left google ad is gone:
http://diabetes.webmd.com/
Note: the dns server is in Germany,
so it will be a little slow - you can run the server on your home network.
lotta limits on what you can do.
Can you make a tut for that? Lots of idleing servers
@painfreepc : Is it a feature of the product or you are blocking some subdomains of google that serve ad so the adservers return nothing?
give me about a day - i will post info
you can add your network pc's as a dns zone, i connect to my router @ "router.lan"
i connect to my media server at "mp4.lan"
@painfreepc - This would not work ?
Its similar by logic.

Nice deal though for a couple of $'s per month. Nice to see a deal that only current clients benefit from too.
Anyone tried it ? Is it actually 1 GB ram or 512 RAM and 1 GB vswap ? I let the last one expire because of that.
Arbor recently said the average size attack this year is 2.7 Gbps and by the 3rd quarter the average size had grown to over 3 Gbps...tl;dr 2Gbps is protection? LOL.
Well, at that price any protection is good.
As for what Arbor says... We are attacked with 20 gbps at least a few times a week, a few days ago one of those was against the website.
That's what she said.. LOL
@DomainBop, Average is not a very correct way to say this. Do you have median statistics ? Since even 1+1+1+ .....(n=100) + 1000 = 1100 / 101 = 10.891089, By this I mean that some of DDOS attacks have been fairly large ( like spamhaus and cloudflare ) - therefore average becomes very high, however if u look for median you ll correctly know that how much attack is larger than 50% of the attacks, Like in above case 2GBPS protection will secure you from 99 percent of the attacks.
@RLT_RandalB someone shared your secret!!!
There is another way to do that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adblock_Plus
or Adblock Edge.
wait hang on, it is for current customers only, so don't be to shocked if after you sign up they bump your price.
Either way it is simple to make a coupon code only work for current customers only so if it works for new ones then I suspect they sent this "super secret" out knowing full well it could cause a stir, everyone wants what they cant have right? just marketing probably.
big no no
You do know with their "super secret" for current customers they are getting the publicity they want by everyone talking about their methods and infact us signing up just to try or so forth. Like their addition and subtraction of their Iceland servers gained them a heap of new customers that were tied in and them the sudden move to USA made everyone talk about them for nearly a month. Seems like they are just going about it again, and to be honest... Advertising schemes like this work.
I know for a fact. If you were to offer one gig extra transfer even, add $10 per year and slap a big giant gold VIP symbol next to it people will buy it because it looks better.
(Sorry if it seems like a rant or makes no sense... Only slept for about two hours until the neighbors started their music...)
My experience with URPAD
-Migration with no notification
-My backup chain was broken (I was relying in IP from external server)
-Urpad deleted the old server backups after migration
-Urpad had taken 3 weeks to deploy a backup policy in the new server
Result 10 day data loss
Run as fast as you can from Urpad
