    Well you are supposed to be a provider offering collocation etc. And first you brought up port blocking and then sniffing the traffic to identify it. Thats why I would never be comfortable hosting anything with you.


    Thanks for answer SWN_Michael. I didnt want to argue in your offer thread, but the other guy wanted to answer my question that was pointed at you.

    And whatever you do on the internet is always in one form or fashion sniffed and analyzed. How else do you think a packet knows to go from one server to another?

    And you don't have to host anything with me. That is your choice.
    We by default block port 25 like majority of the hosts here on LET to stop people from spamming our IP addresses. That can be solved by a ticket in most cases.
    But hey. You do you boo boo.

  • Just upgraded another order! 1 RAM upgrade left!

    Why are you still here? Did some other hosts ruin your offer thread?

    Need some help? I can help you, really.

    I dont think that is true, I'm with plenty of providers from LET and none of them have port 25 blocked. Zero. I dont think SWN does either, since we are in their thread.

    I checked your hobo website, theres no mention of any ports being blocked anywhere. Dont you think its important to note that you are completely blocking mailing ports? I suppose if person buys a server he expects network access if not explicitly noted otherwise.

    Especially since you are blabling about TOS/AUP etc, which is poorly written and quite hidden on your website. https://dataideas.com/TOS/ <- kinda yikes, I would also remind you that just cause you write something in your little pdf it doesnt make it a law and some of what you have there wouldnt hold if anyone would want to dispute it. Link is also only visible after you click order and not on main page even.

    And you should add to your privacy statement that you like to snoop on your customers traffic.

    That was clearly a hypothetical though

    @DataIdeas-Josh said:
    Also if @SWN_Michael has a scanner/sniffer it is still possible to block gaming ports with an active DB that has games and what ports they use.
    Is it possible to bypass something like that? Yes.

    VirMach famously blocks port 25 egress.
    Even if they unblock you, their IP range are on all the RBL anyways.

    I've even seen a provider blocking 25, 465, 587 altogether.
    You can't even mail via MXroute, although you can just SparkPost HTTP based API.
    I couldn't find that offer anymore.

    There's quite a few who block it by default and require a ticket to get it unblocked. BuyVM is one off the top of my head. We're likely going to do the same here soon.

  • Also, let's not talk about issues with other providers on my thread.
