2024?
THANKYOU HOST-C
THANKYOU HOST-C . You really aren't cociu, right?
Host-C is great for storing backups, but something I discovered looking into using it for more than just backups, is that they block port 53, so no DNS. I suppose it depends on your server setups, but for me, that limits it pretty much to backups.
THANKYOU HOST-C
Have you asked them to unblock it for you?
I thought all of us just idle the stuff we pickup here. Am I doing it wrong?
Good attempt at finding a loophole, but it was shown on the 1st December.
THANKYOU HOST-C
Sooo 1st of December is the new Christmas?
No, it's a low cost server; I don't need them to do something special. That's just their policy.
saying THANKYOU HOST-C @host_c
THANKYOU HOST-C
Probably because lots of people don't know how to set up DNS properly, and if it answers any IP not just local addresses, it can then be used remotely for DDOS amplification attacks.
THANKYOU HOST-C
It was also shown today. And will be shown multiple times on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and is strreamable on 4OD too.
But anyway, there is a more interesting answer.
Sooo 2023?
When your idlers host node is having issues, what do you do? Your idler cannot idle correctly
THANKYOU HOST-C
You called?
THANKYOU HOST-C
Perhaps. It's the first time I've ever seen a vps with port 53 blocked, though.
THANKYOU HOST-C
Nope. Regards.
Opening a thread on LET and complain about that economically non-profitable VPS not being able to idle
You forgot about doing a chargeback and when they cancel your account, moan and bitch about how you didn't want to leave.
