Thank you for offering this!

I would like to use this to have my first outpost in Asia. About questions: With you being in / out of China are there any rules someone should know? Is HK a good relay into China? Sorry, if these are noob questions

Thank you for the questions!

• we own and installed the hardware, we touch quite often.
• we own the AS and the IP addresses
• Data Centre in Tai Po and Kowloon Bay, has power redundancy and fire extinguisher. The same DCs also serve big name cloud providers and satellite stations for HK. Never seen dogs.
• Routinator for RPKI, but right now mostly Accept
• IXP ports available right at our rack, through our layer 2 connection via telcos
• rDNS for both v4 and v6, but not automatic, has to do it via ticket
• Extra IPv4 depends on customer, mostly in the range $5 if customer is technically savvy
• SLAAC IPv6, if customer request can assign larger block
• Billing panel is WHMCS, licensed
• VPS control panel of course. We provide snapshot services for all VPS, and remove/delete/rebuild via panel. Actually, our service is in the concept of "resources". For details, please read https://hosting.netfront.net/ knowledge base section (not much info there, but we will add more taking advantage of your questions!)
• Custom ISO not recommended, but can request with ticket
• No, host nodes get rebooted
• YABS report in original post
• CPU can occupy 100% persistent, only limited by hypervisor configured core and CPU weight for the vps
• Bandwidth throttle to 10Mbps after 1TB for this particular giveaway
• No balloon request from host. Individual templates may have balloon driver installed (by default??), but host do not use it. We save memory mainly with KSM (therefore the shared templated recommended)
• Unmetered is unmetered at Netfront. Only pipe width is the limit
• One thing forgot to mention in original post, bandwidth is counted BOTH directions
• Mail ports not blocked. But IP not to be swapped if getting bad reputation
• We do not deliberately ignore any law, DMCA included. But enforcement all according to HK law. If DMCA is not enforceable in HK, then it will get ignored.
• No customer id verification for now
• Refund
• No fee for transfer, for now

Count me in — thanks Netfront for hosting this!

Question about AS4658: since you mention being incredibly open about a recent incident, is there a public post-mortem or status page where we can read about what happened and what changed? Curious how a long-running ASN like yours handles transparency.

If I win, my planned use is a low-traffic personal VPN/monitoring node in Asia — Hong Kong next to HKIX is a great spot for that.

Good luck everyone!

That's great, I think it would be best used for monitoring.

fengse

It looks really good.

Victini

I plan to use it for monitoring

schrauger

I'd probably use it either as a VPN or as an uptime monitor for my other servers.

Good luck,

If i win perhaps i will setup some xray vpn or selfhosting some opensource app like opencloud

kerm1

VPN, proxy

For monitoring of my websites, discord & telegram bots, are you guys counting both IN & OUT traffic bandwidth?
