Use a proxy in thunderbird so it only leaks your proxies ip

For their free service at least, they leak source IP in headers when using an external email client (ie Thunderbird). Doesn't affect their webmail though. Could have changed since I last used them.

Been in business since 2013, profit margin 12%, gross profit margin 85%, numbers look pretty good and stable over time. No immediate red flags that I can see so far. Looks like a diverse product offer

I wonder, if I may ask, what happens to the revenue through ads and provider tags? Of course a part goes to Digitalocean, but I'd suppose there's still quite a margin.

Well, sadly, it's something that most people tend (or choose?) to forget that this is all voluntary "work".

I’d just pay up and make sure to cancel for real.

Considering "hetzner locations", you could also took a look at their managed locations

Using scripts to configure forwarding rules, regularly detecting the id of vm and assigning appropriate ports should be the simplest start.

Considering how long the first yabs is taking to run, I'm not sure the loop is necessary.

I think Cogent is the most memeable provider we have. What other options do we have? Level3?

Cogent is no longer a Tier 1 provider, because they can't reach NTT and HE-IPv6.

I don't think it really affects Cogent's status as HE is simply a paying customer to Arelion. Anything sent down the line between them generates $$$ for Arelion. This is what intrigues me the most con

If it was pointless then are most of for example 4k copies of movies normally downloaded compressed .... if you are downloading a compressed movie then no need to compress it again but this is why I s

SOLANA MINING DEDICATED SERVERS FOR VALIDATORS:

We need Cogent, NTT, and Zayo to offer holiday or black friday deals on LET. That way, everyone can get multi-homed (Image)

It would be more optimal being closer but at the same time some routes still work rather well for them. Not everyone wants the lowest ms they want a solid connection.

There's plenty of headroom of IXes to fill the gap. Obviously this hurts in the short term in some kind of powerplay but choices are available

NC seems like a odd location for routing to Asia for customers, wouldn't CA or West Coast be more optimal?

Essentially, if they want the 1.7% of Cogent <-> NTT only single-homed networks, yes.

Does that mean a tier 1 network can't actually say "cmon {another tier 1}, take my traffic and deliver it to {another tier 1 i have now decided to depeer}" for free. I thought settle
