I’m not reading all of this politics nonsense, you all should practise some self control
Meditate or jerk off, choice is yours
Now, does Aeza lie about their locations?
I think it's very clear, they've even admitted it themselves. Check a few comments above.
Yes, and they did a shit job at dodging my direct question about it on Telegram
Basically if you have a server in EU, it’s actually in Hetzner Finland
Thanks guys. What a shitty move. Any mods here? Isn’t this basically a scam?
I asked in their chat where Stockholm is hosted awhile ago, they straight up said Interxion. No mention of it being Hetzner at all.
Makes this basically just a page of lies: https://aeza.net/data-center
And Hetzner Germany.
(London is in Cyxtera's LHR2 though, and not anycasted)
(Moscow in MMTS-9, and same as London, not anycasted)
Outside of Europe, US is also a real non-Hetzner location. Their geofeed publishes as Los Angeles, but the servers are in Denver. No clue about which DC.
TR & HK were also real locations, but they're going to be decomissioned soon.
yup
Yes I agree, liar host hope LET will do some thing about this, not really fair to sell like this.
@mikewazar so that guy is telling you that the servers are located where they say on that page but then Aeza comes here and says "All our European VPS are hosted on servers from Hetzner". What is this shitshow

But well, honestly, not too difficult to figure it out. I though they did this anycast stuff for mitigating DDoS attacks or something like that, but weirdly enough, they don't anycast their real locations that are outside of Hetzner's network. My Vienna server has also always had quite huge latency to servers that should be like few km away... (17ms is quite huge for a speedtest to a local ISP, but easy to check that a traceroute to that server has its 2nd hop to some edge router from Aeza in Frankfurt)
read their posts. they have in the past justified setup fees on servers hetzner themselves sell without a setup fee, saying the fee is used to fund the server being setup because they test, rack, and incur costs thag hetzner dont
so they not only bullshit their locations, they skim off something that they get for free and lie
@AezaHost you are the shadiest host i have ever seen
No more political BS!!
mods won't do shit. behold the power of bilohbucks
yes, they lie about the locations of nodes. that stockholm node you have? it's in london. it only routes outbound via stockholm which is a tunnel 7ms away
Example 'Sweden' IP inbound MTR : 147.45.75.1
Let's check to make sure it's really LON / CYX2: https://www.jsdelivr.com/globalping?measurement=I8qr5qwnRbC5iqTs
Yeah.
But MTR only shows one direction, for their magical mystery locations, suddenly London based server is 'Sweden' from a GRE tunnel over to a Datapacket uplink in Stockholm.
Outbound MTR from that IP:
Google:
Hope that makes up for the politics.
tl;dr - sweden is UK. but outbound... it's 'sweden', probably over a 1Gbps GRE tunnel in a data center, hence the dank 100Mbps uplink.
I'm not very knowledgeable about this, so I'm confused. Why are the results different when coming from Sweden versus from London?

Lethost:
There's only 14ms from AlexHost Tallberg location so it's geographically impossible the server is in London.

You sure that isn't their router prefix that they anycast? 1ms from Frankfurt can't be London, 1ms from Amsterdam so that can't be Frankfurt but maybe London, 4ms from Prague, so that could be Frankfurt but not Amsterdam or London. Or when we do a traceoroute from finland, its definitly Frankfurt:
It's interesting though because of the TCP connect results @zGato posted
He didn't show london in it but its 40ms compared to 14ms AlexHost Tallberg Sweden
Same goes for the IP Kris mentioned. I was mostly just making fun of him trying to de research and failing to proof a point.
my theory is that it's hosted on a spacex satellite
prove me wrong @kait
I will prove you right, because you are right
Yu no like basement?
m y i m ask if vp s can be move it move it to basement Regards
Hello, that it s possible. Check you dm
Regards
Termination of ICMP != physical location
Technically neither does TCP but its more likely than not due to the increased difficulty of remote termination.
At the end of the day its in the best interest of a bulletproof host to be vauge. It won't protect them against the law, but it does buy them a couple days and aid in a comfortable sleep.
Yeah, but Sweden isn't in London
Don't forget privacy laws and where you personal data is being stored.
A MX lookup of both aeza.net and aeze.ru = 194.26.229.253 (same server)
Despite they claim to be a UK business and follow UK laws their mail server is in Ruzzia.
No, it isn't their gateway, it's a VPS on a subnet assigned to Sweden.
How about that MTR outbound?
7ms to the uplink:
Yeah that. Who knows what routing games they're playing, but the MTR outbound don't lie. It's 7ms from Stockholm, Sweden. You can play with stuff inbound, but a GRE tunnel outbound is pretty obvious.
