  Depends how long your host can exist.

  We don’t think you’ll exist until October next year.

  We do not publicly disclose detailed host-node information, exact datacenter addresses, internal network topology, upstream or IXP arrangements, BGP configuration, hardware inventory, or physical security layouts.

  Cross referencing the summer host checklist, this provider meets the following conditions:

  • They rent everything and own nothing: they will vanish when their hardware and IPv4 space bills come due.
  • They completely ban custom ISOs on KVM plans: they are over-allocating their nodes and hiding a broken control panel.
  • They do not list a real data center name or address: your data is probably located in a basement guarded by two very scary dogs.
  • They lack a clear policy on persistent CPU and port blasting: neighbors will crash the infrastructure by Halloween.
  • They refuse to publish YABS benchmark data: they are hiding weak hardware that will melt under summer heat.

  KoaNode is a project of our group company. As long as the group company continues operating, the project will continue as well.

  And I still wonder what hardware you run. Is it hard to disclose this information?

  Projects get axed as companies continue operating, just ask google how many project got the axe there, it's well over 250 to 290 projects that got cancelled. Not even google knows how many.

  This project will not last long, a few months at most. If not weeks.

  @Obelous

  Yes, that is another project associated with the same group company. I want to be transparent about that.

  The VPN apps are managed by another team within the company, while I manage K.N Cloud. K.N Cloud is a separate cloud service with its own infrastructure, billing, and operations.

  I’m not asking you to judge K.N Cloud based on the VPN apps. Please judge K.N Cloud by its own service and track record. You are welcome to check back in a month and see how we are doing.

  @ascicode

  Google does not index every Chinese company or private group company, especially when the company or project is new and has limited international exposure.

  K.N Cloud is operated by our group company, but our online presence is still limited because the service is new. You are welcome to judge us by the service itself and check back in a month to see whether we are still operating.

  As we say in China, “time reveals character.” Let’s wait and see. We’ll let the service speak for itself.

  A quick clarification following a recent customer question:

  The following three IPs are provided for ping, traceroute, and basic latency testing only:

  US-MIA: 64.81.171.254
  DE-FRA: 179.61.225.254
  NL-AMS: 179.61.241.254

  These Test IPs are permanently reserved for testing and will not be assigned to any customer instance.

  Customer instances receive separate IP addresses through the normal provisioning process.

  Please do not use the Test IPs for stress testing or continuous throughput testing.

  Our servers were acquired at different times, so CPU models may vary. We do not guarantee a specific CPU model for standard instances; please review our policies before ordering.

  Include IPv6 for no extra cost on every plan in every location to get delisted.
  Provider supplied looking glass and network benchmark reports must also demonstrate IPv6 reachability.

  Well, it looks like the company will be staying on this list for a year 😵‍💫
  We don’t plan to support IPv6 before October next year.

  Disappointing, I follow this list religiously.

  @Mainfrezzer

  Standard plans do not guarantee a specific CPU model. They guarantee the published vCPU, memory, storage and network specifications.
  Not quite that far back 😄 If you’re curious, feel free to try it yourself.

  Use your peanut sized brain or tell a LLM to answer for you, but post the hardware you are using, for the love of god. You have 3 locations.

  CPU models vary by location and deployment batch; current deployments use Intel Xeon Gold series processors. Specific CPU models are not guaranteed.
