    Do you also have no internet connection inside the VM? I can't ping anything. Is that the right eth0 setup? http://prntscr.com/4aee0e

    yes looks right. the trick to play with the firewall / port fwd screens to open up ur public IP

    Thanked by 1IceCream
  • Okay, thanks for the hint.

  • @upfreak Could you show me your firewall settings?

    Ok, looks like their client panel cant update any new changes to the server/ network anymore. Wondering what next!!!. Just be patient as the guys who run this service and watch if your 50c moves...

    I have created a ticket for the same, after seeing the following in their website

    Our Monster Support reps are online 24/7/365 to resolve any service issue you encounter.
  • Surprisingly, Fortacloud replied my ticket and there are some positive changes. The private ip, firewalls, port forwards are all gone now. VPS is now assigned public IP by default and all inbound / outbound ports are open as well. It works well and anyone who is upset, can give a try now. You might need to create a tickeet of you encounter issues when you delete the current one and create a new one ( max public ip assigned error).

    Did you call them? Not sure if they will charge $5 (for support issue) to cancel now? Damn these scammers.

    These are the same guys as ServerPronto and Infolink.

    Do not order from them, look them up and you'll see why.

    +1 for this. ServerPronto is the worst company I've seen. I had a dedicated server with them 4 years ago. bad experience with billing. Search "serverpronto steal money" on google and...wow!

  • They changed their mind from one time verification fee to monthly verification fee. Also people are seeing hourly charges piled up as well. lol

    FortaCloud Free VPS
    A US$0.50 monthly verification fee is required to maintain your VPS. This is not a PROMO or a price that will increase after an introductory period. The FortaCloud VPS below is provided FOREVER at the price listed below, and is upgradable at any time to FortaCloud Professional VPS or Standard VPS with additional resources..
    
  • ready to be scam , hoho

    Also works for me. Maybe you are just on a bad node. Try contacting the support. They fixed the issues I had previously.

    For what, to pay $5 and get a auto-responder?

    rsk said: I recall some cloud panels call it that, "schedule". It basically is the word for .. "hey, the master panel understood what you want, it is in the queue for the slave node to execute" .. around those lines :P

    This is normal by CloudStack. Most of the tasks will be added to a job queue. It works with sync/async jobs to load balance all jobs between all management servers. CloudStack is not easy as most people think. Advanced network requires some network knowledge.

    Chuck said: Wtf, they couldn't provide IPv6?

    This is limited to CloudStack. CloudStack currently (4.4) do only support IPv6 in shared network. Shared network isn't supported in advanced networks and require a separate network card.

    New Idea, lets create a "free vps" it just cost 0,50$ per Month and every Support Ticket cost 5$, each IP cost 2$, additional GB cost 0.50$ and 512MB 5$. The concept seems like to work, Albert Einstein was right
