Experiences with Skhron/Tentor?

ServerBachelor · April 2

Has anyone here purchased a VPS from Skhron / @tentor who would be willing to share experiences? From what I can tell, his prices are pretty good considering the locations (Sweden and Poland), but they're still pricier than my usual picks, relative to the RAM/BW/disk.

I'm mostly interested in tentor's services because of his values as an individual and in his company, not the locations. Are his services worth the price?

Amazing provider, amazing individual behind. You can expect close to 100% uptime and if not, you'll get a (no open ticket bs) very generous SLA credit
Can't even recall more than 2 outages? And been using them for over a year.

10/10, highly recommended and very good to my standards.
VirtFusion, routed IPv6, /64 prefix by default, ...

Dual stack IPv4/IPv6, if I'm interpreting what you said correctly? That's a plus in my book

By default IPv6 /64 prefix is included, IPv4 addresses are available for 0.65 EUR/month additionally

i set up port forwarding through iptables like this:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 47555 -j DNAT --to-destination 91.238.123.130:5201
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 47555 -j DNAT --to-destination 91.238.123.130:5201
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
and then ran iperf3 -c 185.195.236.36 -p 47555 -t 60 -u -R -b 100M on another vps

this simple port forwarding and then forwarding data at 100mbit/s is reported as 120% cpu usage in the virtfusion control panel, while htop on the vps shows 0%

@tentor this can't be right https://imgur.com/a/8LPQ4of , my 30$ xiaomi wifi router can do gigabit this way and its cpu is at least 3 times slower

For me that's reason enough to stay away.

Even with IPv4 for 0.65 EUR/month skhron is rather cheap.
For me, IPv6 only + optional IPv4 is the way to go for the future since less and less people actually need IPv4 connectivity.

Are you sure it's not because @tentor's company is proudly Ukrainian

10thHouse · April 18

Anyhow, @tentor takes a little as possible for registration. Just an email. That, plus crypto support, already puts him in my good graces.

The point isn't the price which actually isn't bad, the point is that they sell VPS without an IP4, which, one may like that or not, still is the standard.

For me, IPv6 only + optional IPv4 is the way to go for the future since less and less people actually need IPv4 connectivity.

I accept that but kindly also accept that I see it differently.

Yet, you do feed one ...

FWIW: I would have said exactly the same if the provider was russian (or italian or whatever). Of course fanatics don't get it but actually I differentiate between a person, who happens to have nationality XYZ and the nation/government of country XYZ.

There are many reasons to dislike someone or a provider, nationality for me is not one.

Incorporated in Estonia but run by ethnic Ukrainians who support their homeland, no?

Serhii and Denys are not exactly Estonian names:

I can't speak from using his services, but on the technical side and how @tentor carries himself in provider chats I would say he's exceptionally hard working, knowledgeable, and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase, and I would trust that if any issue came up he would be proactive and proficient in fixing it.
