Up for me
Up here
Was down for a second, but up here now.
Yeah appears to just be a couple of minutes downtime, Wonder why? No planed maintenance or anything.
One of my monitors didn't get started up after the awknet maintenance I did the other day and a flood passed from awk onto SJ. I had to get on the KVM to fix that up.
I'll look into why my cron didn't restart the monitor.
Sorry about that!

Both @Francisco and @RamNode's VPS manager were inaccessible for sometime
Now they are back
Ah ok thanks, Its no problem really was just wondering, as I haven't ever seen any blips from Frantech before, Keep up with the HQ service.
Now they are back
RamNode has their manager on us.
As I said, this is the first drop on our filtered range in a good 1 - 2 months now. I'm not entirely sure why our monitor didn't catch it but I'm already going over it and lowering some of the thresholds incase that's the cause.
Great thing about the new awk box we installed a few months ago is the IPMI.
Francisco
Oh, I didn't knew the VPSCP of @RamNode is on you.
Anyway, I cannot load VPSCP or your website again.
working for me
Nick gets targetted a lot so he just uses our filtering to make his life easier.
I was able to build some ACL's to put on awk's end to deal with what was coming in.
The flood went past 1M pps so I had to apply a nullroute for few minutes while I got that all built out.

Sometimes I'm glad I resisted the urge to do Minecraft
Well ... It's becoming more and more common for public facing services (VPS panels, primary websites, test IP's, etc) to get smacked. I used to think it was just kids being kids but given how many UK hosts have been rudely removed from that market due to ddos, i'm starting to think it's competitors more and more.
Francisco
Sad. I mean it's an unfortunately effective strategy. I've had attempted brute force a lot today from someone who appears at first glance to be a nonexistent (or not yet) VPS provider. Heck, I send people to my "competition." Do unto others, you know
It is competitors, just have to find out who these mystery people are...
You guys moved SJ stuff to Las Vegas yet?
Hmm NodePing didn't tell me my CP was down
But it looks fine now. Not sure what I'm going to do for the LV move downtime though.
@jarland - my RamNode CP started getting hit without regard to my MC stuff. Not too long ago someone went to great lengths to target very specific IPs related to RamNode, all simultaneously, and all with a large magnitude. Cheapest, quickest fix for the CP was BuyVM. Heck, I'd write Fran a nice review if it wouldn't look so weird coming from me
I already told you :P
I'll setup either an NGINX reverse proxy for you w/ SSL (i'll need you to give me your SSL certs or i'll generate one for temp) or I can GRE from awk to you.
The NGINX is easier for me but I'm willing to work with whatever helps you.
Not till the 19th good sir.
Francisco
Sweet - I'll IRC you later
BuyVM seems good for the filtering but I experienced horrible performance with my VPS.
You should open a ticket, that's not like them. As far as I have heard and seen, their VPS are performing great. I, myself use 2 VPS with them for production use (main websites) and they work great.
Just ticket and let us know
It should be known by now that if your VPS isn't acting up to snuff to for sure let us know and we'll figure out what's out.
Francisco
Wished BuyVM offered some sort of basic shared hosting... I don't have time to setup a VM when my other servers go haywire.
That's why I hoard an extra or two of them, and worse case, upgrade if I need to put sites on it. Other than being idle & on standby, they don't do much.
Saved my arse when my production dedicated started having kernel panics one night, already had my backups in Buffalo. Moved all sites to my spare Buffalo VPS node in 3 minutes over LAN, upgraded it to the 2GB package, all sites back online in 15 minutes (1 minute TTLs)
Just my idea / methodology.
@winston I've been with BuyVM for four months now I think, never had a problem with them. As already said, just ticket them, their response time is awesome too.
@winston,
What's the problem with your VPS? Is this VPS in San Jose and is the performance purely network related?
