Looking for small idlers in London

Your router should be a no-bullshit router, so ideally NetBSD/Devuan, with the SSHd configured to only allow connections within your LAN (bind address, erh). You don't want a modern system, you want a Pentium 3, so get a DL360 G1/one of those earlier Dell PowerEdge servers. It can handle 100mbit + 1gbit routing just fine (offload routing within your LAN to the L4 switch).

None of this is happening. I don’t have the time, the space or money to dedicate to a project like this. I’m OK paying £50 a year for a few random UK idlers.

You have time to setup said servers, though? This is very easy to do, it's just a few iptables rules (NAT masquerade and your typical firewall chain). If you want to route a few devices over a VPN tunnel, that's also very easy to do (policy-based routing).

Setting up these little servers takes me about 2 minutes. It’s either fully automated or damn near automated.

Figuring it all out technically is not an issue (I used to do this sort of thing for a living), but the time is. I don’t think you understand, I have a Lego Millenium Falcon and 2(!) X-Wings yet to be built, and that grieves me. Grieves me.

Hey @brueggus -

We can do this in Wolverhampton if that'd be of interest for $15 USD per year, it's about 4ms from London and our hardware/network is fully owned in-house. 1x IPv4 & 1x /64 IPv6 is included with all plans.

3.2Ghz base clock, DDR4 RAM and of course DDoS Protected. You can find more about our products here: https://speedypage.com/vps

Just send me a PM if interested, as this is a custom offer and will need to be manually deployed.

I had a couple people ask for this via DM's, here's a public offer link with 10 in stock:

https://my.speedypage.com/store/virtual-servers/let-custom-512mb

After installing Root Password didn't come. I'm going to use SSH KEY.

Don’t you set the root password when you order?

That password didn't work, and Control panel say a root password will be sent via email after installing.

Please feel to reach out to us at [email protected] if you aren't receiving the email after the VPS has been created, at the moment we aren't seeing any issues with the outbound emailing so it may be a problem with the receiving email address or something else of that nature.

An SSH key will also work and bypass the need for password authentication.

@speedypage is OVZ7 or KVM ?

It is KVM based using the VirtFusion control panel.

Given that you have 512M RAM, you should first create a 1.5G swap file in order to be able to run Geekbench 5 successfully

Maybe the problem is London? Not a whole lot that isn’t Clouvider.
