Ehm... Same here
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://buyvm.net/
The following error was encountered:
Connection to 205.185.112.61 Failed
The system returned:

That's my error, broke the node while testing something :P It'll be back in a few.
Francisco
Yep, looks cool
But no more 20 TB offer

We never had a 20TB offer >_> You could look at getting a smaller storage plan simply for the BW?
Francisco
Just a question, do you plan for some east coast packages sometime soon?
Oh, well, went to buyvm.com, there was a coming soon page, matched the planned release of stock, so I thought those are the new plans :P
I will consult with other ppl and see if we can take the offer for 2.5 $ a tb but that isnt cheap at all, however, we never had own SWIP abuse so far, just had it forwarded, I see what we agree upon.
Tor nodes need bw, bw and bw. No CPU, no space, no particular kind of virtualization, sure, I can get a preconfigured package, but everything else would be wasted.
I have 5 TB plans and up for Tor, usually, or unmettered where it is really unmettered. Damn, i continue to miss ENS...
If you ever have excess BW on a location, just call, I will not be DDoSed, will not need space, cpu, ram (tho for high BW 256 MB is mandatory), I/O, doesnt need uptime much, etc
M
It's on the list

Time for me to set up a tent and cop myself a yearly package =O
Does the DoS Filtered IPs including filtering for SYN/SSYN attacks?
It would make sense since I believe packets pass through some filtering device (probably hardware).
M
It does its best, yep. If you're getting like, a true GET flood (bots making real GET calls, etc), then you'll need to do localized stuff or we can talk to awknet to get fully proxied stuff.
Right
Francisco
I certainly don't see any problem with that. After all, we'll be working on the floating IP/Bandwidth system after this sales round anyways.
Sounds great, but I'm just hosting a community TeamSpeak3 server for a friend who has a RuneScape Clan... the UDP floods were no problem, but it's those damn SYN/SSYN attacks that takes them down.
I'll definitely get a package on Friday, haha...
The problem with GET (or POST, if possible, since POST does more damage in terms of CPU and I/O) flood is that it kills the software, cpu and I/O and needs a lot less BW to take the site down. However, it is easier to mitigate, since you can limit per IP or blacklist IPs that are connecting more than x times a minute. There are ready-made scripts for that (ex: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/fail2ban.htm ) and can work for more than one service.
We have 2 issues here, classical DDoS (bw filling with any kind of packet, usually UDP) that only provider can mitigate because, even if you ban the IP the traffic still reaches you. The other means that you can defend against it at VPS level (unless it is so bad that really saturates the pipe in which case the upstram filter should catch it), but needs a lot less BW and could pass through a firewall that blocks the other kind. One angry user can block a website on low end dsl, but it is trivial to automatically IP-ban without any assistance from the provider.
M
@Maounique: I have done everything required to help with defending the SYN/SSYN flood attack on the VPS level; but the flood is from several hundred or even thousand of different sources.
These booters that those kids use don't have enough to actually flood the port, but the thing is, even if I'm limiting the SYN/SSYN traffic to 'x' amount of connections/sec or so, it still does damage and takes down the VPS until the attack period ends. So I'm hoping these filtered IP's have some sort of SYN/SSYN filter mechanism of some sort to help with this.
Yes, any firewall, be it hardware or software, has this capability. If those attacks are caught upstream, you dont have to worry.

First, this is great news. BuyVM is continually raising the bar for low end providers.
OpenVZ has limits for network connections. It's generally considered better to run Tor (or any high bandwidth proxy) on Xen or KVM.
I dont run 100 mbps full open nodes (i.e. wont have that many outside connections in same time as i allow only http(s), pop(s), 465, some IM protocols and streaming). I wont be having any P2P unless some happen to go on those ports (seems unlikely since never got any DMCA complaint in many years) and that is what connects to many IPs at once.
It is also true I never got to use much more than 10 TB a month, even at home the combined throughput of my nodes dont go above 300 GB a day, not even in the best days, usually is much lower.
I will keep that in mind if I manage to get a 30 tb node some day.
I hope I manage to get a VPS and see if they really are that good as ppl say, at least the policy is much more than I could hope for.

@dotvps
How much do you wanna pay for colo?
After a few minutes of searching, here's what I found:
Steadfast 1U at $90/month
HostDime 1U (without bandwidth) at $65/month
Colo@ 1U at $90/month
ColoUnlimited at $50/month
Continuum at $65/month
Natcoweb at $65/month
And that's what I found.
I registered an account to be ready, but it looks like I am too late since it will take two days or so, because this: WARNING: Your account has not been verified, and may be pending deletion
Didnt expect to be this hard :P
Oh, well, maybe next time.

Pending Accounts aren't restricted from ordering; setup on those just takes longer since they haven't been audited yet
All active accounts still have the same chance of grabbing a piece of stock.. once the order is made, it's reserved until either provision or cancelled.
Ah, cool
Now remains to get lucky and be near computer when it is actually online...
Kinda hard since I have to go shopping now.
M
Even if you miss today's, we're not putting it all up for grabs at once. The remainder after this initial release will be spread out across next week
for BuyVM, next week is too long Aldryic.. too long :P
Any updates on the stock? any countdown like last time?
@Asim - I'm waiting to the box we're going to use for filtering to be provisioned. Floods keep hitting off and on; I'd rather we have billing behind a filtered IP before the sales start if possible.
Just waiting on the IP block to start routing so I can test my work boss
All goes well we'll have ip's for sale on Monday
DDOS filtered IP's are now available.
Francisco
Just in case someone is interested running a tor middle node onto a shiny new BuyVM vps, I just asked through a ticket and @Aldryic told me that each kind of tor nodes is regulated by the same rules (/29 and so on).
And when I called his bluff and sent him AGAIN the sites where he can check what kind of node is run, even those fully scriptable with dig and such as this one (which google knows for 5 years+):
https://www.dan.me.uk/dnsbl because he complained he cant really check public pages where the nodes are listed without a bash style of script (he was afraid he might breach the privacy of customers, like snooping around for tor process isnt exactly that), he continued in the same note of name calling and personal attacks and ended up saying it is because of me he is blocking Tor "again".
Move on fox, there are many providers with wide BW that can afford Tor nodes at half the price.

Just to clear up any confusion people have, this is the actual conversation that took place:
