I was quite surprised to hear this news. As you may be aware, one of my previous VPS instances recently crashed, so upon receiving your message, I decided to run a few test scripts on this VPS to evaluate its stability.
I’m not sure if this may have triggered the issue you observed, but I will share the scripts I executed for your reference and investigation.
After testing, I found this to be a very solid and reliable machine. I sincerely appreciate your provision of such a quality server.
Below are the scripts I ran:

I ran a few basic test scripts on the VPS. These include:
bench.sh – downloaded from https://bench.sh
Command: wget -qO- bench.sh | bash
YABS (Yet Another Benchmark Script) – from https://yabs.sh
Command: curl -sL yabs.sh | bash
Backtrace diagnostic script – from GitHub
URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ludashi2020/backtrace/main/install.sh
Command: curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ludashi2020/backtrace/main/install.sh | sh
ECS check script – from GitLab
URL: https://gitlab.com/spiritysdx/za/-/raw/main/ecs.sh
Command: bash <(wget -qO- --no-check-certificate https://gitlab.com/spiritysdx/za/-/raw/main/ecs.sh)
Let me know if any of these might have caused the issue
If you believe my usage has exceeded the acceptable limits, please feel free to terminate my access. I sincerely appreciate the excellent VPS service you’ve provided on the forum.
Thank you again.

Thanks for the information you posted. I am unaware of any problems specifically associated with any of the scripts you mentioned.
What I was seeing on the Node, though, was a processor running at 100% for an hour, and that processor was being used by your VPS.
Do any of those scripts typically run longer than one hour?
I think, when there is an issue, something should be done, because, if a second issue occurs, then the two issues together might be a disaster. That's why I "pre-emptively" stopped your VPS.
I don't see running a processor at 100% for a little while as an issue worth mentioning. But people who want to do something like compile for several hours ought to post here so we know what's happening. Same with high network or high file I/O.
I restarted your VPS. CPU usage seems minimal. But, when you get back in, and if you rerun the test scripts, please check to make sure there is no "stuck" process causing continuous high CPU output. That's happened to me.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience! Good luck!
Best wishes!
Tom
Thank you for your support. I will continue to perform regular checks and provide timely feedback to you in the future.
Once again, thank you very much for your support.
You are very much welcome! All seems good now!
I appreciate your goodwill. By the way, are there many Chinese users on your platform? I've heard they often use a VPS as a proxy to get online.
It's my pleasure. My name is Ethan. It would be great if I could have 4GB and more cores. I'm looking for sponsorship to expand the DNS server for my public welfare open source project https://github.com/PublicFreeSuffix/PublicFreeSuffix.
I really do not know how many users are Chinese. LET is an English language forum, but there are people here at LET from all over the world. On our server, we do have a few users who came from another forum in which Chinese is spoken. But that doesn't necessarily mean they are Chinese. Chinese is spoken in many countries. And some people, like me, are there without even speaking Chinese. I use Google Translate.
Hi Ethan!
Nice to meet you!
Unfortunately all the VPSes on our server here are already assigned. Maybe something might become available again soon, so please keep watching this thread. Alternatively, maybe we could do something on a different server before too long.
Are you the owner of the Github repository to which you linked? I looked quickly at the project, and, at first glance, it seems pretty cool to me. I think other guys here might want to take a look as well.
Best wishes!
Tom
Hi, @Not_Oles do you have a chance to enable VNC since i can't use my home network since im on my cellular network and i kinda locked myself out from my server since i need to run neko to browse the web for a bit. ty
Hi @Fubukibox!
I'm unsure of exactly . . . exactly how to enable VNC in our setup. I tried to enable VNC for your VPS in BashVM (8 on the Main Menu, 1 on the VNC / Console Access Menu, plus probably restart the VPS). That didn't seem to work. Maybe because I did not get told to restart and because the XML file wasn't changed. It looks like I could edit your VPS' XML configuration file by hand, but I'm unsure that's the best way.
@babywhale and I talked about VNC access, and we decided to not to enable VNC access on all VPSes. I'm not sure how @babywhale did that.
@babywhale Ideas on how to help @Fubukibox, please?
@Fubukibox, is there another way we could get you back in to your VPS besides VNC?
Thanks! Sorry I can't help more right now!
Tom
Im fine with the vps being reset with the same ed25519 public key i sent in DMS, i will just change
/etc/ssh/sshd_configsince i already have a backup somewhere. i just need to redo hetrixtools and install wireguard just in case and also reinstall docker againAre you saying that you removed the key and that you want me to replace the key?
No, im just saying to reset the entire VPS from scratch but use the same ed25519 key for the root login as before. I don't have access to my server atm but i do have both my pub and private key on my pc
Maybe you mean that you want me to wipe the entire VPS, install a new one, and add your key to the new VPS?
Yes
Okay! Let me try. . . .
@Fubukibox
Okay, I restored your VPS from an original, clean snapshot.
I added your ssh key and also my ssh key to both root and user authorized keys.
I can get in from here via ssh as both root and as user.
The passwords and the IP address are unchanged since it is a restored snapshot.
Please see if you can get in. Maybe change the passwords and the ssh host keys and also delete my key? Maybe double check sshd_config to make sure everything is the way you like it to be.
Please let me know if everything is okay for you now or if you need anything else.
Thanks!
Tom
I can access the VPS now. Thank you! i will check what is missing on my vps
Throwing my name in, looking to play around with using a vps to do live streaming (think lofi music, but something more interactive where chat can interact to affect what's displayed on screen).
Sorry @LymbicSistem all VPSes are assigned. Best wishes!
instead of restarting it you will need to stop then start the vm for vnc to be enabled... something i should add for clarification in the program
Hi Tom,
It's an honor to receive a personal reply from you. Yes, I am indeed the owner of PublicFreeSuffix, and I'm dedicated to making this project more stable and viable. I genuinely believe it holds immense value for many who are just starting out with building websites or delving into web technologies—much like my younger self when I was a middle school student hoping for a service like this to further explore network technology.
Unfortunately, I'm a bit late to the party, haha! I wish myself luck in eventually finding a server somewhere to expand the DNS services for this project.
Thank U so much~!
Ethan
What specifications do you need?
Maybe someone in your project qualifies for FreeVPS.org?
Thanks!
Dear Not_Oles,
I have set up a monitoring website on my VPS. The URL is: https://test.meta.xx.kg.
This is a project I discovered not long ago, and I will be testing it in the coming days.
I am truly grateful for your continued support.
@kkwwll
Thanks for showing all of us your progress on your VPS. I am glad to see it!
On my local Chromebook I went to the link you posted, https://test.meta.xx.kg/. I looked at the source code in Chrome, view-source:https://test.meta.xx.kg/. In line 11 of the displayed source code, it mentions Akizon77.
Then I found https://github.com/Akizon77 and https://github.com/Akizon77/komari/blob/master/public/index.html.
But, if I am not mistaken, there seem to be slight differences between what is displayed on test.meta.xx.kg and what would be expected to be displayed based solely on the index.html file shown at https://github.com/Akizon77/komari/blob/master/public/index.html.
As a specific but perhaps insignificant example, the Github index.html file doesn't show
If you don't mind, I have two questions:
Is the page displayed at test.meta.xx.kg based on https://github.com/Akizon77/komari/blob/master/public/index.html ?
How does the "Powered by," "Build time," and what looks like a commit hash get into the page displayed at test.meta.xx.kg.
Good luck with your project! I hope you continue to enjoy your VPS!
Thank you!
Are there still servers available ?
@d2411 Not at the present time, sorry! Maybe something will become available due to inactivity, or for some other reason. Haha, maybe some excellent Provider will give me another dedicated server. We will see. . . .
I am Gerry. I'd love a free VPS. I'll run a Mumble server on it; light duty for Amateur Radio use.
