seflow review - stay far away: Scammers and liars

Agree...
... and considering how the handle the initial support I don't really think they care enough about 'remove the escalation of tension, and make the customer feel welcome'.
Sure doesn't make sense cooking up some story to cover up bad service, specially if you are going to point fingers at some one and make public accusations about some investigation.
And to be quite frankly, a lot of things that were said by the provider (on this thread and on the support tickets) does not make a whole lot of sense.
Don't get me wrong I'm not on anyone side here, but I do want to know which one is stating the truth.
You mentioned most of your sites were at BandwagonHost / XVM and IT7...
The day after this went down, I got first downtime alert for two of XVM lab servers, both v702 in LAX...
Do you have any nodes on v702.sioru.com ?
If so, I am taking to a metal foil hat. I had to self start from control panel too.
@Aga
Actually if you talk to most detective the truth is in the center of both of their stories. Both want to make themselves look good and not at fault.
My guess is the investigation is true. I also guess that the service for tr1cky was terrible as he posted.
I do not know if tr1cky is guilty of doing anything illegal, he may be someone close to those guilty and they are after them and not him. Could also just be abusive government agencies trying to tap something that they think is illegal.
I think if any of us signed up for service we would most likely get good service. As I think most of this whole mess is simply between these two men.
Its quick to come to conclusions. I don't think either men are lying. In the end, it's just drama.
Thanks for the info!
I think so too now, and matteob was told to STFU by an actual lawyer, probably flucked up by even saying anything if it was true.
On that note, really wondering if @tr1cky has any of his many IT7 / XVM servers on v702 in LA. He said most of his stuff is there. Then v702 went down with no reason, first time ever (and had to self boot 2 systems on it after it came back up) the day after this.
I've said it once, and say it again...
Whilst I have no data and therefore can't comment on what he did/didn't do on other services.
He has openly disclosed that Delimiter provides him services, so I am not breaching any confidentiality. He has also provided me his registered email address which again has allowed me to look into any complaints or issues.
He is a long-term customer and at this point, he has zero complaints, zero cautions, zero flagged traffic alerts on Delimiter's network.
First time I'm reading a provider review of a customer.

It wouldn't. Asking somebody to prove an assertion that something is the case, is something very different from proving an assertion made against them that they believe isn't the case.
Not so much a majority, as enough nodes to reliably control the entire circuit for a user. If you just need a direction to search in, then a momentarily controlled circuit is enough. If you want to tap all data for a user, you need near-complete control of the network.
Seizing servers certainly is not an economically viable strategy for this, nor is it very useful from an intelligence point of view - too much chance of people getting tipped off.
Yes and no. If you control all three nodes in a circuit, you can deanonymize users by connecting their plaintext traffic (from the exit) to their identity (from the entry). You still need the middle node to tie the two together.
Two circuits that are 'joined' by their respective 'exit' nodes - except all traffic is encrypted using the address of the hidden service (which also refers to / validates its keypair), so the exit node doesn't actually see any plaintext traffic.
Basically, if I remember correctly:
@GStanley I only have one server in another location than NL and it's in Florida.
Thank you. Tin foils off. First time v702 went down in LA, my squirrels-nest of IPs, and I know you mentioned them.
Best of luck with dickhead, seems he is all talk. You may want to invest in electromagnet just in case.
Its not so much that but a good customer needs recognition in situations like this.
Since I only had servers with seflow in France, I guess these agents came to France?
Here it is: "The request started from a german police with cooperation with italian Rome cybercrime department."
Why would Italy be involved in this and why would France not be involved in this, when the location where the servers reside would be France? Why would they contact seflow at all, when the IP addresses seflow uses are OVH IPs?
I also know that OVH usually only complies to such requests if there is a valid search warrant and it is certainly not seflow's decision what happens since they only rent their hardware and IP space there. The usual behavior of OVH is to suspend the whole physical node when there is a search warant and hand it over to the agency.
@tr1cky, depends on how they have their service setup with OVH.
Look up the IPs on RIPE's whois, what name does it show on there?
Okay, they are listed there aswell as OVH: https://who.is/whois-ip/ip-address/149.202.238.236
Still sounds fishy to me that the Italian police would be part of an investigation that would have happened in France.
OVH is quite trigger happy, if they had a search/seizure order that box would be down by now. People get shutdown hard for lesser crimes.
Honestly I think you should just send a certified letter to SEFlow and formally demand a copy of the order; or the contact at the agency the made the 'raid'.
You have almost nailed it.
Interesting things are disclosed here. For a moment (just a tiny moment) I thought I am on wikileaks ...
Knowing somebody who had an actual server seized from OVH: yes, they shut it down and hand it to the feds, without prior notification. In that case, a search warrant was provided.
What were they doing on that box? I guess since i never have had a server siezed that i don't understand why?
Spam, VPN, CP, Warez, Botnets, (D)DoS, Hacking... all reasons to get it confiscated.
OVH likely only gives them the HDDs as the servers are watercooled, i guess that is harder to remove.
VPN?? Really ?? Dang . Here i thought you had to be a big boy to get anything confiscated .
Well, VPNs especially in form of public VPNs and VPNs used for criminal interaction much like TOR nodes are prone to being thrown off or getting into investigation.
Funny fact: Lots of VPN providers people use will sell them out like HideMyAss in order to prevent being shutdown or similar.
That's why you don't use these shitty american VPNs like privateinternetaccess but rather good ones like AirVPN or PerfectPrivacy.
How can you ever trust any VPN provider?
perfect privacy survived a raid without anyone getting busted, I think that is as far as trust can go in the industry.
Sending images as base64 to every single user will surely help majorly with the load issues the "LET cluster" always has....
I mean this:
A public provider is like a cargo ship. A cargo ship is a target for raiders. The ship may or may not get raided but it is an identifiable target. Your container might not be the target but is sitting next to a boatload of others.
Nothing of particular interest. Lauri Love had an account on it, is all.
