    Has anyone who won the giveaway tried the "UNLIMITED VPN to around 20 world destinations" feature yet?

    How do you activate and configure it? Is it available in the VPS control panel, or do we need to contact support?

    Thanks!

    It is in your welcome email after your purchase. Thank you!

    The claim window for the first round has closed, and a few prizes went unclaimed, so they pass to the reserves as per the rules.

    @suyadi92 @Saragoldfarb @imiko @jcn50, you're now winners! Please check your DMs for your claim code and claim by Oct 29, 2026, 12:00 PM HKT (04:00 UTC). Any prize still unclaimed by then will go to the next reserves.

    Happy networking nerds!

    Is "AS4658" a line designation, or some sort of mysterious internal code? If I happen to receive it as a gift, I’ll use it to set up a personal blog.

    Great initiative, welcome to LET!

    I would love to use this as an uptime monitoring node and light DNS resolver. Just curious about AS4658: do you plan to peer with any regional internet exchanges (like HKIX) directly for this IP range? Good luck to everyone!

    Still remember following the whole ransomware saga back then—honestly mad respect for how transparent you guys were and refusing to pay up, definitely a breath of fresh air in this industry.

    Quick question though: looks like the draw was set for the 21st, any chance a late entry can still squeeze in or get on a waitlist/next round? Would love to snag one for lightweight monitoring and offsite backups if there's still a spot!

    Is "AS4658" a line designation, or some sort of mysterious internal code? If I happen to receive it as a gift, I’ll use it to set up a personal blog.

    Thats the AS number, autonomous systems number. Go seaech more on wikipedia if you want to learn more
