No, I have one KS4G installed, but waiting for 3 x KS2G to get installed.
well that sucks, I had a hostname/ip and now it's gone
Where are you from ?
This is just pure b/s. VPN is allowed, the latest AUP just says that if they find someone doing illegal things involving a VPN (or IRC or Tor), they reserve the right to terminate the server.
@xset, you post in this thread more than perhaps anyone else here combined, it's all good when you relay useful stuff from OVH and Oles, but not so cool anymore when you just spread misinformation.
I wanted to correct that, and it's already buried two pages down, where a number of people already jump to conclusions like
And about this:
...it's not the actual AUP anymore, it's got two more updates, basically removing all the "kinds of use" restrictions.
And yeah, VAC can be turned on/off at will, I tested it out yesterday, the traceroute looks pretty nifty
"Vaccum, Firewall, Tilera, Arbor!" sounds almost like a magic incantation from Harry Potter, or something
I am not sure that is OK. So if i do something illegal involving anything else they do not terminate my server ?
No, the thing should read: If you are doing something illegal, then we reserve the right to terminate your server. Simple and very clear.
Mentioning VPN means that there is something fishy about it or IRC, or Tor and they expect people using them to benefit from more scrutiny. The thing about surveillance is that it becomes it's own reason to be, put under the microscope, everything looks suspicious.
@rm_ VPN is clearly disallowed in the terms and so is anything IRC related. Please confirm the ambiguity with Oles.
Anybody else got their ks2g after @trexos? I didnt get one yet
Yes, I find that clause to be ridiculous for the same reason. Google translate:
Actually you could read this as concerning only
public Proxy,
public IRC,
public VPN
...which is supported by them mentioning "free of charge or for a fee"; which makes no sense if they meant personal instances of these services.

I don't think there's an English version yet.
Ohhh, so I get my order cancelled?
Well I just checked and my order with OVH was refunded because I'm not from the EU. How many people here from the EU received the server details?
Quote me the exact line of the terms where it is disallowed. I quoted above the only mentioning of it in the current TOS, which also implies legal use of IRC and VPN is allowed.
Actually none are disallowed, you can do anything if it's not causing problems, however if you do run a public proxy, and they find out it has been used for illegal stuff, they have the right to terminate your service.
Also I think they were referring to a public VPN service, public IRC service, and a TOR exit node, but I think it should be "of any server that would offer(provide?) for free or for a fee". (I think his mother wrote the terms). I think the private ones are included also, so if you use them yourself for illegal stuff, they will also close you down.
This is the "clarification" for this:
"7.4 For security reasons, OVH reserves the right to proceed with the immediate suspension without notice of any server that would be offered free of charge or for a fee, a public Proxy, IRC, VPN, TOR, for which OVH has knowledge of malicious, fraudulent or illicit use."
There is nothing to that effect in the contract I've agreed with the OVH – but perhaps there are different versions.
In my agreement §7.5 simply mandates that all proxies (and like services) must require signing in – not that they aren't allowed.
BTW they said at some point everyone will be required to accept the 2013 TOS when they renew their server (or not be able to renew), so soon there will be no more differing versions depending on when you bought the server, everyone will be on the version of this year.

Had to stop it after seeing that. Piss poor speed.
My version is dated 3/13, so it is actually from this year – but obviously it isn't the new French contract, and I'm rather sure it won' be exactly the same even in the future.
I've signed an agreement with a local subsidiary (separate legal entity) and thus my contract has to adhere to the local laws and to some extent, to the local business practices.
It was updated again in July.
My contract? Nope.
No, not your contract. facepalm.
I mean the 3/13 version is no longer the latest that they have.
Who are "they"?

Oles:
KS e-16G raid will be painful to catch up: (
Nobody got KS2G today?
Somebody has got it. But I haven't received mine yet.
I think they are either testing again 24 hours for new setups or then they run out of systems
They just published another video of the DC:

Ordered on 25th, order No. 214701XX . No domain shown up yet, hope to be lucky today.
Can somebody give me the link to the TOS/AUP for the kimsufi servers? I can't find it on the german site.
I can't believe they took my domain away, it's like OVH are teasing me.
The domain still resolves too, so the server's still up. Maybe they really are giving it to someone else :-0
What domains are you talking about ? Can anybody explain?
