@NDTN your investigation opened on May 31 and not yet resolved...
[Ticket ID: 859111] Control panel login alert not working
ps: all that glitters is not gold
I have just taken a look at your ticket. Could you please try to disable/enable that option then check again? We can try to change to a new email address to test too if needed.
I disabled/enabled the option and it still doesn't work, I have no other email addresses, but I have enabled two-factor authentication
As usual @NDTN helped with solving the issue. Thanks!
Hi @NDTN - I hope you're doing well.
I've been a satisfied GreenCloud customer for the past 1.5 years and truly appreciate the excellent service at a great price — thank you!
I'm writing to raise a concern regarding VPS bandwidth usage. I've been using a Ryzen VPS (SolusVM) since December 2023 and have had no issues with bandwidth. However, I recently purchased two additional VPSs during the GreenCloud Top Provider Sale in February 2025 — one located in Germany and the other in Los Angeles (both using VirtFusion).
Since then, I've noticed that both new VPSs are consuming 1–2 GB of incoming bandwidth per day, even while completely idle and running only the base OS (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS), with no applications installed. I submitted Ticket #252770 in April 2025, but the support team responded that this behavior is considered normal.
I wanted to escalate this to your attention in case there's any way to control or investigate this incoming bandwidth usage further. I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations.
Thank you again for your continued service and support.
@qamarulhassan try installing vnstat
i have this problem too in SG DC1
bandwidth calculation seem not normal
I didn't notice that. My idler consumes 1gb per day of incoming while 0.01gb outbound. Maybe someone sends broadcast packets.
Yes, the outbound bandwidth is indeed minimal—no concerns there. Initially, my incoming bandwidth was over 2GB per day, but after installing CrowdSec, it dropped to somewhere between 1–2GB daily.
I haven't observed this behavior with my SolusVM VPS in SG2, so I suspect it might be related to VirtFusion—but I can't say for sure. Perhaps @NDTN can shed some light on this.
Adding @VirtFusion
it's not reasonable to ask support for this, you need to dump the traffic yourself and tell them what it is, if it isn't just "random idiots on the internet".
It’s probably a ton of ARP traffic hitting the VM interface. If @NDTN can submit a ticket, we can give them instructions on how to filter it out.
@NDTN @VirtFusion - Any updates?
Can you also give them instructions on how to enable DHCP
The Hong Kong VPS I purchased is not functional within the Chinese mainland. The ping value is as high as several hundred... I think I can transfer it to those who are interested.
@NDTN @VirtFusion
I’m still awaiting a response regarding the unusual inbound traffic issue. Despite blocking thousands of malicious IPs via CrowdSec, my VPSes continue to consume 1–2 GB of inbound bandwidth daily.
I just came across a related discussion:
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/207501/very-weird-inbound-traffic-ive-never-met
SpeedyPage addressed a similar issue on their platform and shared the following insight:
"It's probably traffic from inbound traffic to other VM's on the same VLAN with your provider. Poor configuration can cause this, such as leaked broadcast traffic. We've had this issue in the past ourselves that we only noticed when a customer pointed it out."
Best wishes...

Not the case here, your VM already had port isolated enabled, which prevented it from communicating with other VMs. We have also applied the network filtering as Virtfusion suggested, you might try to reboot your VPS.
And how to do business too? IP should be configured properly.
@FAT32 not sure why but I'm not receiving any updates from this thread, maybe it's being sinked now?
Fixed
I love when @FAT32 saves the day
Without DHCP I can't boot into most live os of netboot.xyz. DHCP makes live so much easier in general.
Only netcup properly use dhcp, so if you are moving it would be the same.
Thanks @NDTN I have rebooted both my Virtfusion VMs. I will update the status tomorrow.
Supporting DHCP doesn't mean that you always have to use it. But having DHCP available is very convenient when booting into a rescue system or similar (typing in IP addresses multiple times in these cases is very error-prone).
Rescue mode (which is similar to the one in SolusVM) will be available on the next version of Virtfusion.
It's not just about rescue mode.
Lack of rescue mode can be solve by mounting grml or systemrescue iso but most of the live os and a lot of utility tools here aren't bootable without DHCP
Also installing Arch Linux via SSH manually without DHCP is also such a pain in the ass. Gotta type a lot of numbers and dots in VNC first.
the same segmentation fault in the Debian 12 iso is still going on for my Solus VPS, the issue I reported during the last BF megathread stuff
Seems a bit random though
Sounds like a skill issue
For the peace of mind, use ISO instead.
At some point, it completely broken.
My mistake. Ithought you were talking about debian 12 template.
