I got that thing too, not sure how good it is, but seems to be a Seafile instance.
Looks like this is their other product. I got this in front of No Backups confirmation statement when configuring FreeServer OpenVZ - New OVZ SATA SEA Custom offer.
This would have even better with IPv6 only instead of IPv4, concerning the movement of many providers.
Be careful- I bought the $4.49 3-year plan with 250GB bandwidth. I didn't notice they auto-selected the more expensive 5GB bandwidth addon at .17/mo ($6/3yr).
I have a ticket in, (nicely) requesting they refund the $6 and drop me back to the 250GB plan. Quick setup so far.
Why ? Cant you install windows on 1 GB of RAM ? Theres other plans and upgrades you know?
This is the OpenVZ based VPS. You cannot run inside OpenVZ anything besides Linux (including Windows). Google OpenVZ.
TOS/AUP?
3-14 business days, have fun.
Don't worry. I'm sure many users will find their way over here, to LowEndHelpDesk after they wait 20 minutes without a reply.
For some reason when I'm doing reboot from within the VPS itself (with reboot command), the /dev/net/tun device will never appear and I have to stop the VPS from the panel and start it again.
Same happened when they restarted the host as part of maintenance last night.
Opened a ticket with them but they brushed me off.
I'm on Debian 8 64 bit. Tried several ways to create the tun device, to no avail.
Logging in to the panel for manual restart every time after maintenance is annoying.
Disappointed :-(
Can't you just create a shell script that does something like
mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
And put it in crontab at @reboot ?
I tried this already. I'm getting the following error in the OpenVPN log file.
Played with permissions as well, but it doesn't help.
@kingpin
I have not such problem but if this is because of openvpn; then i suggest you SoftEther with SecureNat (same tool that i use). check
But as per the docs (see Limitations section) SoftEther VPN also depends on the TUN device.
@ARiEWWW @kingpin
I can confirm that you must login to the Control Panel and then Stop and Start the VPS server again to take effect.
You can't create a Cronjob as a bootup script as it will hit an errors
Yup, and the problem is that the TUN device doesn't persist across reboots done from within the container or as part of maintenance on the host.
I guess that they supply the
--devnodes net/tun:rwparameter tovzctl(1)but without the--saveparameter when the Start VPS server command is used from the Control Panel, therefore this setting is not saved in the container configuration file.Sentris' ordering system incorrectly auto-selects a more expensive bandwidth add-on. The first page shows 250GB comes with the order.
Clicking "Order Now", you would assume that 250GB is what you will get. (.12/mo x 36 mo = $4.32 total.
Actually, 5000GB is selected, at .17/mo. x 36 mo = $6.12 for bandwidth.
Suddenly, a $4.32 order becomes $10.44!!
I've created a ticket, Ticket #598136, but they refuse to refund the incorrect charge. I should have seen how their system auto-changed the bandwidth on me.
I got maxmind error, submited ticket 4 days ago but no reply until now. Ticket 185164
It clearly states configurable options.
Do check before submit next time.
@10men Sorry to tell you, 100% your fault for not checking your order man.
I agree with you both.
and
Yes, but configurable options usually are not...configured for me already.
Me: "I'd like the red shirt, please."
Store: "Here is the red shirt. We've 'configured' the size to XXXL but didn't tell you."
Me: "Here's the the cash."
ring!
Me: "Wait, why did you give me an XXXL red shirt?"
Store: "You should always make sure we don't change the product you requested."
Huh?
Good lesson for me to learn!
I would recommend staying away from this company as a whole. Their service is pretty poor, and their customer service is extremely rude. They don't even deserve the $2 that this plan costs.
Is their TUN/TAP working consistently yet? Or is it disabled upon reboot?
Let me give a scenario:
You pay me $0.12/mo for unlimited cab service. We have a contract for three years; I gradually get more rude as time passes because of all your complaints.
tl;dr You're paying really little; you get what you pay for. It's not their fault that support staff have to have minimum wage and you only contribute less than a tenth of it.
My server didn't work, they refused to fix it, help me, or refund me. I had one complaint, and it was my server wasn't working turning on, and it has yet to be fixed. It doesn't matter how little or much they are paid, they have chosen their job, and are paid for the work they do. If they don't do the work they are being paid for, then they do not deserve your job.
tl;dr: Even though I pay a little, I expect to at least get something out of what I purchased.
@jamespeach Sorry to hear; I thought that you actually received the server. Excuse me for the harsh tone in my previous post; what has happened is unacceptable.
You weren't donating to Sentris, rather you ordered something and expected service.
Anyway, by the looks of it, it's not your fault. It's Sentris who is incompetent and needs to abide to their promises.
@jamespeach, sorry to hear that but I think I am lucky. I have this Tiny VPS running for more than a month without any interruption. The network is good too.
I use it for OpenVPN, nginx + mysql + php-fpm
