I'm sure you already aware, but something to ensure if you haven't.
Ensure that Orange takes priority over RCS-RDS, as only Orange will have the DDoS Mitigation so you'd still be able to receive DDoS Traffic via RCS-RDS (depending on which route the DDoS Traffic takes). This is also depends on Oranges implementation of Arbor, whether it will be in-line (locally), or whether they'll hijack the IP announcements via outsourced scrubbing centers.
Hey!
We have always active a prepend rule for RCS&RDS to be less priority for INBOUND traffic and anyway they have 150Mbps international, the 850Mbps burst being only for traffic from Romania.
Good stuff.
More Orange stuff you're going to feel obligated to not question the performance of!
Given that I was able to rectify the contract to protect my company from too much debt if it does not perform as expected, time will tell if it was a good decision or not.
Personally, I am confident in this solution and if it proves to be effective, future customers will get better service.
Maybe if I hadn't gone through this difficulty I would have had the impression that if I had rented servers from competitors for reselling from the beginning (I exclude colocation because the old DC had a lot of false-positives on UDP and other datacenters were too expensive) I would have gained more but offering my active customers the alternative to migrate to OVH and they refused and rather wanted to return to normal in Romania showed me clearly that for that location without too many guarantees but unique made them become my customers.
As one hater said here "who to get servers from OVH for, as nobody wants them?", apparently he was right.
After I get past this stage I will be forced to come up with a more diversified portfolio and new investments that will bring back my profitability margin as the AntiDDoS solution costs a lot.
The daily drama is coming to an end it seems 🥲
Stay tuned for season 2
IM VOTING HAZI FOR TOP PROVIDER, ALL CATEGORIES
ESPECIALLY MOST RELIABLE
IF WE MAKE HAZI #1, I’LL DO SOMETHING FUN (MAYBE BUY A VPS FROM THEM)
Why would nobody want OVH?
I didn't manage to find out.
Maybe because we can order directly from them and get support?
Proof that I was misunderstood, probably through my own fault.
What I'm selling you can't buy directly from OVH:
SECONDED.
HAZI ON TOP!!
If Hazi ends in top 3, I'll do 1 squat per vote.
Why not just send it only to those people who have active services ?
Why not remind everyone else that they still have an account and can make a new purchase if they dare?
Don’t ruin the free entertainment. I’ve already cancelled my Netflix subscription.
Oh I’m sure it will continue. The skid must be reading the thread and getting ready for round II of drama.
Doubt it. Arbor must be properly configured. Since our clueless admin lacks knowledge in this area - drama will continue until he RTFM's properly.
Arbor is configured by Orange.
Every change requires opening a case, paying a fee, and waiting 15 days.
Only 15?
Fixed.
HAZI ON TOP!!
Too few votes for HAZI, we need to step it up
Yeah, the basement provider poll was a huge disappointment. Maybe someone should make a post on nodeseek saying that if you join LET and vote for HAZI you are going to get might win a free dedi for a year.
Hey!
There are so many things to say I don't even know where to start
Maybe with the beginning?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart:
What has changed?
1. Mentality. After failing to satisfy my customers and succeeding in getting the most important missing piece of the puzzle, Anti-DDoS protection, I can no longer settle for the status of a small provider keeping costs to a minimum. Given that my monthly costs have now increased by 50%, my profitability rate is zero, but I see the bright side, which is that even with an empty rack and a full rack I will still have the same monthly bill for essential expenses. So soon I will be able to rent dedicated servers as well, not just VPS. Until now I couldn't do that because the DDoS protection signature was implemented at the proxmox host level.
2. The way I relate to the rest of you in this community. I am already starting to repeat this but I am NOT arrogant so much as I seem so because of my temperament, being reproached in real life for this arrogance but when I get to discuss it in depth with people who reproach me, I realize that I do not find myself in what I sometimes convey.
3. Whatever I do, not everyone can love me. Leaving aside the people who really hate me in this community, there are some who hate me for no reason. The easiest example to think of is that well-meaning people like SillyGoose tried to help me implement local Anti-DDoS protection and showed me that hate exists anyway:
Draw your own conclusions, my friends!
I'am happy for you florin, really happy. The good ending to the drama. I never recall that happening in this forum.
I really hope you got a 30-day anytime cancel for Orange's Arbor solution... otherwise, I can predict the new thread: "HAZI.ro - Anti-DDoS not good. Any suggestion to help with downtime?".
I see you brag here about your accomplishments and how you achieved X and Y, while an old Romanian saying comes in my mind: "Nu zi hop pan' nu sari gardu'!".
Provider of the century
Millenium.
HAZI ON TOP!!
