Nah, the discount is included automatically. You should see a small icon indicating it.
BTW. > @abravo said:
No, you do not need a promo code for VPS plans. When you place your order, you will see that the price is reduced by 10%
maybe for new users then. I have an account and when ordering a VPS now, the price stays the same all the way along the process
No, for all users, but due to incorrect settings, the number of orders with a discount was limited to 1. Therefore, existing customers with existing orders could not receive this discount. Now, the number of orders has been increased to 5. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
good. I have ordered a 4gb VPS at the Finnish center. I already have a 8gb one. Used it for AmneziaWG and VNC when i am in Russia. Will see how much can be done with 4gb.
so, this is ISPmanager and in case of wanting phone verification it takes only +7 numbers. Any other number can be set but will not work for actual SMS verification, at least didn't in my case (Scandinavian number). Good with me as I have Megafon, MTS, Beeline SIMs but otherwise may be a limitation. I guess you will use other channels (Telegram, etc).
the possibility to pay with XMR via Heleket is an advantage, otherwise I don't know what to think of overlapping jurisdictions. The beauty of purely Russian hosting all the way (.ru . su domains names, hosting, MIR/SBP payment tied own gosuslugi profile and Russian email provider) is that because the split since 2022 aka "sanctions", EU Reich and los gringos have no reach, because indeed the severance caused by these "sanctions". In other words: in order to be safe, be in Russia.
But this business of yours has a foot in the EU Reich. Typically bridging is because EU citizens of former Russian citizenship, or Russian citizens with permanent residency in EU, but ideally the people running the EU side of the business should not have a Russian surname at all. Some Ivanov or Smirnov, running web services, even under an EU passport/citizenship, is probably watched by the Gestapo (or BND as it is called these days).
Nice. For foreign mobile phones, we can use SMS gateways outside of Russia, as many European countries simply prohibit sending SMS from Russia. You only need to contact us by ticket or e-mail, and we will select the appropriate option.
PS. In fact, not only the EU, but also many other countries are trying to change the old style of the Internet, when it had a lot of freedom. Restrictions are explained for various reasons: to protect children, to protect against hostile information, and so on. Politicians know how to explain their excessive appetites for spending people's money.
Unfortunately, it will be difficult to resist this without a global revolution, so eventually we will all access the Internet using a national passport. These are the times now...
it is already the case: a subscription to a provider (cable or mobile) is done through a check of social security number against bank data. What is in the making is strong restriction of anonymizing capabilities and increase in tracking of internet activity.
But you didn't address my question about the level of safe containment/isolation your business may (not) have. Robovps.biz is hosted in the Reich at Leaseweb, as OOO TK RUSTELEKOM, only ISPmanager page my.rustelekom.net is hosted in Russia.
Russian citizens who are even permanent residents in some EU countries have had their bank accounts frozen just because their Russian citizenship, since the start of SMO. This was variable depending the country. In France some bank did even froze just because the surname, not even checking actual citizenship. There were cases of Polaks having their bank account frozen. Think of people with names like Rokossovsky or Dzerzhinsky, kurwa!
?
I personally know Russians who own apartment in Spain, for holidays, who were forbidden to use their bank account in Spain, and because this could not pay the communal tax for the apartment, and had to rely on friends who are not Russians to do it. Recently there was more of this in Germany. Sometimes it is random, just due to decisions of random local branch directors rather than a systematic protocol. Yet quite hurting.
So a "OOO Rustelekom" leasing servers in Germany, Netherlands is peculiar. Do you work for the enemy
Can Russia vps connect to SOCKS5/HTTP/HTTPS proxy now?
For web scraping with external free proxy server.
According to our rules, this is prohibited. This is because Russia is currently actively combating all VPN and proxy protocols that are blocked on the user side in Russia. Therefore, if we allow such behavior on our network resources, we risk losing all network connectivity.
Who is the enemy is a big question. My personal enemy is the activists, who are mostly so crazy that they oppose everything that doesn't fit into their own universe. But this is my personal opinion, not a business.
Again, so far, Russia has been supplying its enemies with oil, gas, food, titanium, uranium, and so on.
Similarly, these so-called enemies have been buying Russian raw materials and goods throughout the period. People become enemies under the influence of political propaganda. Politics is a very dirty business.
Politics again. You cannot help, can ya?
Sad to hear that. I hope the situation get back to normal soon.
In what?
I doubt it. I've heard that the EU is also considering restrictions on the use of VPNs. As usual, to protect children...
EU Commission and current government teams in Germany, France, Scandinavia and the Baltics are the enemy. And they are very nasty.
the reason I took VPSes from your shop is:
it is the only hosting service I have that is not in Russia or in China. I stopped all Americanoropean web services in 2011, when the manhunt on Assange started.
Everything. Mail hosting, domain names registrars and extensions (so I use only .ru and .su), DNS hosting, cloud, dedicated and vps hosting. Chinese services are basically locked for non-residents, but I have some QQ mail and Tencent vps in Hong-Kong. Everything else in Russia. The beauty of a full self-contained identity in Russia (SNILS-Gosuslugi-EBS-SIMs-MIR), is that it is isolated from the Americanoropean ecosystem, thanks to the "sanctions".
Robovps is a potential liability because it is in the EU, ie. on enemy's territory.
That said the idea of my VPS in Finland by now is just for AmneziaWG and VNC servers.
Talking of datacenters, the guys in MSK Kreml could send some drones on Estonian and Finnish datacenters. Put a green T-shirt and a trizub on the drones to make is appear like some operator was drunk on Nemiroff, drone deviated and crashed.
It's too much for me. No government is perfect, and here in Russia, you can hear a lot of curses against our own government. But, people haven't come up with anything better yet, so we need to focus on doing things that benefit everyone and avoid destroying everything around us.
so a 4 gb RAM KVM at the Helsin{gfors/ki} datacenter of Scalaxy. Besides AmneziaVPN that is very low resources, I run tigervnc sessions on FVWM with Firefox-esr very smoothly, using 3,2 gb RAM, on Debian-13.
