BuyVM
@Francisco ♥_♥ is this true?
+1 For Buyvm
So... BuyVM?
Buyvm inbound to LV looking glass from Germany still looks like voxility for me. Interesting if they're adopting CF's product though
Nope, only anycast.
All locations use Magic Transit for filtered ips.
EDIT - We're basically helping them build the product as we're the only host actively running it and carrying live customer traffic with it. We're helping them build a pretty good standard policy they'll use for most hosts. We've helped them focus on what features are good and what's fluff (pretty and nice but a time sink), helped them prioritize, as well as help them with a lot of packet captures.
The protection isn't perfect yet, still a lot of places to improve, but the network is pristine. It's so smooth that I legit forget it's in place.

What's the advantage of Magic Transit compared to e.g. Voxility? Can I assume that with Cloudflare's scale they have a bigger and better network?
Yep, you use the full CF backbone, they announce your ranges across all their PoPs and filter at the edge. Way more capacity and flexibility than Voxility.
As he said.
Voxility handles more flood types for now, but CF is making large strides. I figure within 6 months that CF will be on par to Voxility for additional flood types.
We've seen CF handle some very large attacks for us and again the network is extremely stable. If it wasn't for the invoices I'd forget we were using it.

Any dedicated server provider ?
I wish, but I haven't seen any.
With us doing the major hardware upgrade soon I considered throwing some of the slice nodes up as dedi's with CF.
It's just very costly. Hosts should expect to spend a minimum of $5k/month for small levels of clean traffic, and in some cases be required to pay that a year upfront.
Unless you have some serious mark up and can eat that I see many hosts sticking to Voxility/Psychz as they handle things OK.
Francisco
@Francisco Yeah, I don't see it happening for commonly priced servers, unless CloudFlare decided to fuck the server industry and do it themselves.
CF has a pretty set in stone 'minimum' price they're willing to go on services. It seems $5k/m is their floor but they're aiming higher. I think they fully intend to be closer to $10k/month for MT transit at any decent capacity.
I don't see them getting into dedicated servers due to the support overhead.
Francisco
Wait what, hold up.
Does this mean that, with a BuyVM protected IP you basically use Argo to get from whichever Edge POP you happen to land on to the BuyVM instance in either of the 3 locations?
All that's needed is a protected IP?
EDIT: OK maybe not, looks like Argo can be integrated but it's not a given.
@Francisco can you elaborate?
It still has to go from CF->our network, but it is ARGO optimized from you to your VPS on the inbound route at least.
Francisco
Thanks for confirming. This sounds intriguing.
Its good Been extremely stable.
