High bandwidth VPSes(yes two) with private networking
Hi all,
I'm looking at re-doing a core piece of my infrastructure. Particularly in routing traffic across services. Locations can be Seattle, Vancouver, anywhere in SEA or OCE. I may entertain other locations... The idea is to be as central as possible to me and the rest of the world. Custom ISO is needed. Private Networking is mandatory, so I'll need two offers in the same DC in the same host and both VPSes can be connected together.
I need the following:
VPS 1
2 cores
2GB RAM
10GB storage(could be any media)
Port speed should be minimum 500mbps however bandwidth is either minimum 15TB or bonus points you're unlimited(there will be 0 abuse and I am someone who will immediately pkill -9 bad IPs hitting my services). v4 is mandatory. A v6 prefix would be neat too.
VPS 2
2 cores
4GB of RAM
60GB storage
This VPS needs no public facing IPv4 or V6 and will be sitting behind VPS 1 so hopefully the port speed is as fast as the host can go and the cost should be minimal.
What I am asking is extremely specific so I won't be surprised if there are very few offers.
I already know @hosthatch does what I want however I'm hoping to start this soon rather than waiting for their deals.
Comments
You can definitely buy the regular price option from @hosthatch now... I did see majority plans have stocks
The first thing I thought of is OVH with vRack but VPS does not support vRack.
Maybe @onidel but they don't do high bandwidth.
Not at the mount of TB I want though.. unless I do a complete unnecessary order and get a storage VPS just for the bandwidth alone.
This is LA.
I wanted to go with OVH but you're right... no vRack and my KS-Mystery NOR my KS-LE-B does vRack.
Yeah unfortunately we can't really offer >15TB in SEA
(on small plans)
I have a feeling it would be hard for anyone to offer this. Unmetered in SEA is very rare.
Modern problems need modern solutions
You may just need to setup your own private network using something like wireguard/tailscale setup.
Leaseweb could do private networking in both Seattle and APAC but still limited to dedicated server/public cloud... and they are still only B2B so reseller needed.
Other than that there is Vultr/Linode but those are too expensive.
Wireguard is a part of the setup however the traffic between VPS 1 and 2 need to be directly connected with 0 transit across any other link.
Out of interest, what's the use case? Why do you need that?
Looks like the cheapest OVH dedi that support vRack is SYS-1

Happy to explain with a diagram and the reasoning.
This is what I want to do. Currently my Pangolin instance in it's current state is breaking services as by design the gerbil component creates a TCP session and then hangs up and recreates it midway. This is fine for static, content or anything that can recover from a new session but some services don't. I also don't have much control and I want to eliminate as much overhead as possible from the WG tunnels.
What I'll gain from this is that my home lab(Yakushima NZ1) will be able to inject routes to my Router VPS(yep running RouterOS, love MikroTik) and it will have wireguard tunnels to each other server under a single subnet. So I can continue to expand Yakushima NZ1 with as many prefixes(or as little), a firewall that can protect everything(I really really hate iptables), way more control as I'll be decoupling the Wireguard and eliminating gerbil from Pangolin. In some testing (did a PoC setup) I managed to gain raw throughput whilst also fixing several issues along the way. I also maintain the security of Pangolin as we put certain stuff behind SSO and/or reject all but local routes. Because I use BGP over a WG tunnel, announcing new prefixes and receiving prefixes from both sides is even easier. Maybe I want to announce a route via that Router VPS that can get to a prefix better than my current ISP?
Now you might ask... why not just do this on a Ubuntu host and just use wireguard tunnels? Again control and the idea of making it purpose built.
Doesn't have to be SEA. I can entertain other locations, however Seattle and SEA are preferred.
Thanks for the detailed description. It's definitely an interesting setup and I love to see the tinkering. Since the router instance (VPS) is depended by the pangolin one, why not just get a single dedicated server and create the two VMs yourself. This would even mean, that zero traffic is leaving your maschine between the two.
Rather than 2 separate VPS, a dedi with 2 VPS in it will be easier to get
I thought about it but cost may stop that. Unless a provider can prove me wrong about cost(I can entertain that).
The Router VPS isn't dependant on the Pangolin one. It's the other way around.
Yea, my english isn't that great, was flipping that sentence multiple times around. ^^
Maybe you can checkout @SolidVPS, he's preparing multiple deals at the moment.
Otherwise you could go with OVHcloud and their Seattle location, Hillsboro. They include 500mbit/s with unlimited bandwidth on their Kimsufi lineup. Hardware might not be the newest, but definitely strong enough for your usecase.
No vRack for OVH VPSes so they're disqualified. Unfortunately.
You missunderstood me. Not VPSs, their dedicated server, like this https://eco.us.ovhcloud.com/kimsufi/ks-5/
My bad, more coffee required. Pesky setup fees aside... I'll consider it.
Hillsboro is in Oregon not Seattle. I did mention SYS-1 since it does have private networking compared to KS with no private networking.
Well it's 190 miles away and OVHcloud does market it as Seatle on their website, so there's that. Also SYS-1 would be overkill for the usecase, if already going dedicated route, don't need two, so private networking is useless.
We could do the following in either NYC or SYD. If you would be willing to go outside of Seattle, we have no west cost presence, unfortunately:
2core
2gb ram
20gb Storage
2tb Bandwidth on 10gb
1 ipv4 & /64 ipv6
$5/month
2core
4gb ram
30gb storage
2tb bandwidth on 10gb
$7.50/month
Pooled Bandwidth: 4tb + $2/tb for aditional bandwidth: $22/month
Increased Storage: $10/100gb/month
Total Cost: $44.50/month
We would provision a private network between the 2 vms
DM me, and we can set up a custom plan for all of this.
BuyVM does it if Vegas is close enough. Should be ~35ms from Vancouver.
Francisco
Got an LG Francisco? Could have a looksie.

Hmm...
170ms v4 to and from... Mercury NZ > Zayo > Cogent > Buy VM.
V6 is a disaster for me and it's probably because Hurricane Electric makes me take the long way around. LV BuyVM to OVH CA isn't bad.
Will consider it.
LA would probably be better since it looks like Mercury NZ has connection to Any2West IX
LA is actually 160ms for me.
AS55850 has presence in Any2West, SIX Seattle and NWAX... Which is why I really really like Seattle
When you live in NZ and you really like networks... You end up finding interesting solutions...
@PureVoltage and @GTHost are the two that come to mind for high bandwidth Seattle.
helo please try calinka hosting art
he has stronk 100,000 gbps backboner i think calin robert can donate a small amount for help poor african nation with taxes for development
