You mean the Germans that illegally provide services to the Syrian government?

I'll pass, but seems to be Level3 protection mostly.
Seems to be an ADSL and hosting company in Syria. What's the problem?
Its not too strong, kinda weak
German, EU and lastly UN sanctions on the Syrian 'government' (from either before the civil war for terrorism support or then), all telecom operations in Syria are co owned by the Syrian government (MTN etc. already quit and sold their assets off, but are not based in US/EU and not within UN sanction times).
Even if we assume the IPs were sold it is likely that the sale was illegal or violates sanctions also.
And you think if they broke the sanctions - they are not already get busted?
I can also find only Travel bans
Asset freezes
Arms embargo
and Electronic and Telco equipment export bans. Or do you have some information about providing telco services bans?
Yes I check his Ddos protection , some time we have package lost, but they fix it after email sending.
i heard from other people who using contabo if they got ddos and send mail to support they off their vps for sometime until ddos stop. and any one can make udp flood to their game server
You really trust Combozo with your data? Let alone DDoS protection?
I think you're confusing two shitty hosts
Contabo is the worst german provider ever. Don't go with them.
Use Hetzner, it's bosslike. Cheap prices, guaranteed 1gbps on dedicated servers, a very smart and fast support.
Can confirm. Wrong insult...
They're still pretty bad, but I can't use that insult
No, why? The DE gov and no one else is actively monitoring ASNs for Syrian prefixes and similar, thus rely on reports. This is not the US with permanent 24/7 monitoring.
Point is this is not legal, somewhere it has to be illegal, regardless who earns from it or pays for it - Someone either inside Syria gets money for it or moves money for it out, both which are saction violations.
^Payments are assets, and telco companies are gov owned in Syria as Joint Venture.
BTN, an US ISP providing connectivity to STY, had to get specific export licensing for this as wlel years ago already.
I got the following mail from Contabo on 8th May, 2017:
it looks you do.
Guaranteed to where? ToR switch? Hetzner is known for heaving far from top shelf network.
hetzner added the last months multiple 100G's of bandwith to their network. hetzners network is now at 1,96 TBit.
what kind of problems do you have with hetzners network?
Thank you.
They've also got an 100g private peering to OVH
Hetzner's network has improved A LOT during the last 1-2 years. @clouvider: You might want to check their network again...
