sure, where to sign up?
i need a monitoring node in asia anyway
gooning
Will you add more upstreams?
I will use the VPS for my uptime checker.
Impressive, where to buy one
perfect for more globalping probes
How to get one? I would like to host my website there, and as a backup uptime checker
mostly idling
Wow that's nice deal.
Interested as well to grab one, will use it for monitoring and VPN.
I'm a shark :3
edit: don't need this actually, not an entry, nice of you though and welcome
may use it as a small asia caching node for my project
do you support BGP sessions?
ipv6 prefix? routed? on-link?
I will use it when I went to HK/CN/MO?
Also, will you be okay with unlimited 10mbps? that's 3.33TB in each direction
Why is AS4658?
Count me in!
Count me in
HAProxy and monitoring
Yes, we are absolutely ok. Our customers are all enjoying this!
Thank you. You already entered! Good to know networking peers here, we are new to LET!
Does AS4658 support BGP to VPS
We have four transit providers now, no plan to add more in the short term.
Yes we do! We do BGP announcements as value added service. Quote separately, but very competitive!
Could always use another monitoring node
Is it recurring?
Would use it for health checks and a bgp session if possible?
I mean BGP session, I would just like full table view (nothing announced)
Sweet deal! Would love to use it for monitoring, personal tailscale peer relay, and globalping probe.
VPN, zabbix2, some small website
I'll use it to host my vibe coded SaaS with backup in /tmp and a multi million cash-flow.
Use it as backup instance for my GreenCloudVPS to be able to upgrade without downtime in Hong Kong
We currently provides to customers BGP announcement for downstream AS transit, as well as pure customer IP announcement from our AS with RPKI. Both v4 and v6, but v4 has better resilience. We do not have VPS customers who operate BGP with our routers currently, but will be happy to have the first one! Layer 2 and layer 3 both supported.
