IPv4 NAT from Inception

    @Spirit Honestly yes, my costs minus my time for this are around €50 p/month or €600 p/year to recoup that and break even I would need to put 234 VM's on the node, and that is just silly, it is a 4GB X3330 server with 2 disks.

    Those costs will ramp up over time as I plan to stand up another 3 locations this year, this truly is a sponsored project, up sell and economies of scale may help later down the line but I walked in to this with a completely not for profit mind set.

    I understand people being skeptical but I am nothing but transparent at the best of times

    This may turn out as even bigger loss then over the time when IPv6 will become more widely adopted and used.

    Naah, it's OK. It's more curiosity than anything else :)

    I got 1: My provider doesnt have IPv6 :( i just want SSH and a webpage, the other thing I can manage IPv6 using another VPS

    This use to work pretty good, not sure how well it works now but it's worth a try cause it's one of the simplest to set up!

    Erm and you can connect via ssh/serial and host a web page on this.... Why would you say that?

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    And ipv6 tunnel.

    with the tunnel, i know, that's the only thing i need, i want to say :P not complaining even a little

    No.. you don't need a tunnel, you can set your ssh port via the serial console in solusvm, and then connect over IPv4 through the external address.

    :confused::

    @AnthonySmith seems like a great idea, but sounds like alot of admin work is involved.

    Maybe @soluslabs will automate this in the future.

    That is why @AnthonySmith has mentioned this is a side project for him...
    I think if someone wants to pull some quick profit, the easiest way is to get a box with cheap IP, buy a Solus license and see as many as you can, which is obviously not what he is doing here.
