The performance can suck, but I don't want to end up overpaying for something that I could get better elsewhere. Latency is the thing that matters most. Looking into LandVPS now.
Yeah, if you see CPU steal, its going to affect latency too.
Not to mention of a potential congested network or uplink.
https://firstbyte.ru/ is cheaper, 75RUB and has been stable, no cpu steal of any kind.
Do you use them personally? Or just from other peoples experience?
I have specifically 27 servers with them, all being used for proxying very latency sensitive stuff, not a single issue outside of planned maintenance or brief network outages. Their uptime status is also public: https://status.4vps.su
You'll get better latency with a server in MSK/SPb, sure, Novosibirsk is basically all rerouted through Moscow.
They're all prepaid for a whole year, a few of them for 2 years btw.
I got a firstbyte.ru yes, for 0.75€ its a steal.
Looks like it's a bit more than that once they charge you card fees
Yea, sadly most of the direct ways to pay are a scam.
JustHost charges for the same VPS 200 RUB, which would be 2€ however via USD you gonna pay easily 4$ if not more.
After checking this from a friend's VM with them, I can tell you how they're doing it and what they're doing:
1) Server is a cheap dedicated server at Hetzner (Germany) with HDD drives
2) v6 is from the block given to them by Hetzner with the server. Hetzner gives a /64 usually I think if I remember correctly, so they have plenty of space to give each VM their own IPs from it
3) The inbound SSH is just an iptables port forward from port x of host-node IP (Hetzner) to the local VM IP (in private range, NAT IPs)
4) The outbound V4 is setup like this:
a) They have a wireguard tunnel to a VM at Orange Egypt on host-node with "Table = off"
b) They use IPtables to do "MASQUERADE" from the NAT IPs given to VMs to the remote side of the Wireguard tunnel to Egypt
c) On the other side, MASQUERADE is also on, so connections go out appearing to be from the remote VMs IP.
This can be confirmed by using "curl -4 ifconfig.me" and "curl -6 ifconfig.me" from inside a VM with them. The IP the v4 shows, you can then lookup and see that it's on Orange Egypt. Try to SSH to it and you get an SSH prompt, showing it's a VM there on that network.
No WARP involved here.
A few other notes:
1) They are using iptables to do "MSS clamping" so TCP doesn't break, but the actual MTU is much lower. 1226 to 1.1.1.1 I'm showing, so it looks to be layered tunnels, even worse.
2) They accidentally put 2 interfaces on there... both with IPv4, so sometimes it will choose the other "172.*" address one, which is actually outbound over normal hetzner.
Proof of the tunnel is basic:
traceroute to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 _gateway (10.200.2.1) 0.156 ms 0.134 ms 0.087 ms
2 10.20.209.122 (10.20.209.122) 73.447 ms 73.389 ms 73.344 ms
- the 10.200.2.1 is the local range, NAT IPs on the Hetzner host-node
All this to say - they are offering kind of what they say... It's a VPS with NAT outbound v4 from Egypt... Even if the setup is a bit janky and pretty much amounts to a VM with a VPN on it, which you could do yourself cheaper or even free...
You're quite late on this... They've stopped using WARP long time ago.
Yep. Only learned about this today and thought to clarify incase someone finds in search for them.
