Vmiss configured the wrong MTU, leading to network issues.

After a DDoS incident, Vmiss set an incorrect MTU, causing node communication failures and service disruption (logs available). Admitting some impact yet denying any network issue, they are violating the SLA by refusing compensation.

    how do you know its MTU issue?

    sounds like you're being blocked entirely/nullrouted

  • AlyxAlyx Member, Host Rep

    None of this makes sense

    No idea what makes you think its a MTU issue.

    Because I identified that the default MTU of 1500 would affect access to certain networks, and VMiss also acknowledged this.

  • It may be because of anti ddos solutions using GRE, which requires you to have mtu less than 1476.

    They did not suggest modifying the MTU, and I had to identify the issue myself through troubleshooting. Before I identified the problem, it continuously affected my service. VMiss does not admit that their network has issues and refuses to compensate for the downtime according to the SLA.

  • @SuPerC said: refuses to compensate for the downtime according to the SLA.

    there is no downtime. you're still able to access the server.
