I need windows vps with this MINIMUM requirement: - 2 core - 4 GB ram - < $10

So here's what I'm looking to achieve.

A customer orders a freepbx machine via WHMCS

On payment I'd like to spin up a configured machine ready to rock and be able to manage the machine, and it's firewall rules from WHMCS.

Is this achievable without writing a ton of code?

Hey guys,

Hey guys,

A few days ago I opened a ticket to Alpharacks to let them know that their disk is full on their shared hosting node "latitude" and they said they are working on it. Nothing has changed.. check out this screenshot:

https://imgur.com/a/kpcG4

I know that they suck and are to be avoided, but for 99 cents I had to see for myself.

I'm appealing to anyone reading this, STAY AWAY! Go spend your dollar on candy or something unless you like to collect useless hosting :P

EDIT: I forgot to add, you really do get what you pay for!

We have a Cpanel server with lots of accounts on it. Most of the users have wordpress accounts. Last week one WordPress site was showing a HTTP 500 error and the site was offline. It only shows an empty page/500 Error page. No other users have any issue on the same server.

We did restore the cpanel account backup - and the page was up again.

The next day the site was just showing HTTP 500 Error again.

We did then restore the cpanel backup and the site was online again. We did change the cpanel and FTP password. We did also change the wordpress admin passwod we got from the customer.

The next day the site had the HTTP 500 error again.

We restored the backup, change wordpress admin password. We did then update wordpress and all plugins/themes for the customer. (some was around one year old) We did not give the customer any of the new passwords.

The site then worked fine Wednesday, Thursday, Friday but on Saturday the site got the 500 Error message again.

On Monday we restored the backup, now also disabling their guestbook - since we could see in the site logs that the last log entry before the 500 Error message was an guestbook entry.

Tuesday the site was offline again. We restore the backup, and one more time I disabled the guestbook, and also disabled commenting in Wordpress, and also deleted around 19.000 SPAM comments.

The site worked fine from Tuesday to yesterday. But today the site has the 500 HTTP error again.

We have also let the webdesigner of the site look at all source code on Wordpress and all plugins and they says that they do not see any issues with the source code.

Why do this happen, not every day, but several times per week? Why do a account restore in cpanel fix the issue, without doing anything on the server? Is it some kind of hacking of the WordPress installation? Is it a server issue, if yes, why is only one of around 200 sites affected?

I got help the last time I asked here so I might as well ask another question and hope for the best.

I am looking for a solution to offer discount on an order when chosing X amounts of products from a group/category.

Let me give an example;
I have 7 locations where I offer NAT service. The only options I have today is either do a bundle or offer a discount (percentage/price override) on every location.

What I’m looking for is to give the option to chose X number of locations, out of the 7, free of choice.
At checkout a Y% discount will be applied when/if there are X or more of the products in the basket.
No discount applied if the number of services is not reached.

Short intro

Using VPN is an important part of nowadays privacy and blindly trusting even most recognized VPN providers may still represent some risks. People who already know that, prefer making and using their own solutions, such as buying VPS or dedicated servers and building VPN. Using Tor as a VPN exit point is a widely used scheme known for its anonimity benefits, but it can be achieved by different ways and each of them has different level of performance. I will quickly show the fastest one that I am very happy with.

Software and technology used

OpenVPN, Tor, HAProxy, transocks_ev or redsocks, Unbound, DNSCrypt.

Clients are connected to the OpenVPN instance and their default gateway is set to the OpenVPN server address. Their connections to the clearnet are transparently redirected to the Haproxy instance and balanced through several Tor instances afterwards, because using one Tor instance for that is a proven bad practice for achieving performance. Connections that are made to .onion services are not load-balanced as this requires packet mangling and more advanced configuration, for now we will keep it simple. Thus, basically the scheme is:

I will omit OpenVPN instance configuration here and my reasons are:

• it doesn't matter which tunneling software is used, you may prefer WireGuard or any other modern software to OpenVPN

• there are plenty of HOW-TO's exist already that can be found on Duckduckgo

• less unnecessary information in the article

As for transparent TCP->Socks5 redirector I use transocks_ev, because the current version of redsocks has some issues with recent versions of libevent and they remain unfixed. However, I will demonstrate examples for both, transocks and redsocks, so it's up to you which one to use.

Initial configuration

To avoid confusion in this article I decided to put all required daemons listening on 127.0.0.1. In practice you might create a separate loopback interface, because linux considers a packet as 'martian' when its destination is 127.0.0.1.

The following kernel parameters are needed to get everything working:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # enable packet forwarding net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet=1 # this is only needed to permit routing packets to 127.0.0.1

Our VPN clients range: 10.11.1.0/24

Configuring Tor

We will make 2 groups of Tor instances: 1. One for resolving, mapping and accessing .onion domains.

# DNS port for resolving and mapping .onion domains to VirtualAddrNetworkIPv4 range
DNSPort 127.0.0.1:5301 
VirtualAddrNetworkIPv4 10.192.0.0/10
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1

# TransPort is needed for transparent redirection 
TransPort 127.0.0.1:9041

You may use that with your system's default Tor instance, whose usual config location is /etc/tor/torrc

1. Several instances for making clearnet connections through Tor exits. I am using a cron script for bringing them up when they are not running.

   !/bin/bash

   TORBINARY=/usr/bin/tor BASEDIR=/tmp/.tor-nodes # you must change this to a more secure location PORTS=(9070 9071 9072 9073 9074 9075) # Socks5 ports to listen. A quantity of ports here defines the quantity of Tor instances

   if [ ! -d "$BASEDIR" ]; then mkdir $BASEDIR fi

   for port in ${PORTS[]} do IS_RUNNING=$(netstat -tlpn 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/^.://' | grep "^$port\$") if [ ! $IS_RUNNING ]; then $TORBINARY -f /dev/null --allow-missing-torrc --defaults-torrc /dev/null --DataDirectory $BASEDIR/$port --SocksPort $port > /dev/null 2>&1 & fi done

Configuring Haproxy

global
    daemon
    maxconn 2048

defaults
    timeout connect 3000ms
    timeout client 0ms
    timeout server 0ms

frontend rotatingproxies
    mode tcp
    # the IP:port Haproxy will listen on
    bind 127.0.0.1:9999
    default_backend torproxies

backend torproxies
    mode tcp
    option persist
    # you should put all the ports defined in $PORTS array from 
    # the cron script we discussed in the previous section
    server tor1 127.0.0.1:9070 check
    server tor2 127.0.0.1:9071 check
    server tor3 127.0.0.1:9072 check
    server tor4 127.0.0.1:9073 check
    server tor5 127.0.0.1:9074 check
    server tor6 127.0.0.1:9075 check

Configuring transocks and redsocks

Either piece of software will "transform" our clients clearnet TCP traffic into Socks5 requests and redirect them to Haproxy.

I am using 'transocks_ev' (http://oss.tiggerswelt.net/transocks_ev/) fork instead of transocks due to livevent and updated code. libevent library is required for it. Get & compile it with: git clone https://github.com/tiernano/transocks_ev ; cd transocks_ev ; make

Now just make another cron script for it and add to cron:

#!/bin/bash
TRANSOCKS_DIR="/opt/transocks" # you should define your own here
PROCTEST=$(pgrep -f transocks_ev)

if [ -z "$PROCTEST" ]; then
    $TRANSOCKS_DIR/transocks_ev -H 127.0.0.1 -p 9035 -S 127.0.0.1 -s 9999 
fi

It will now listen on 127.0.0.1:9035 for TCP connections. We still need to point all our clients to that port and iptables rules will be discussed at the end of this tutorial.

Now, as I promised, the alternative config for redsocks with the same function:

base {
 log_debug = off;
 log_info = off;
 daemon = on;
 user = redsocks;
 group = redsocks;
 redirector = iptables;
}

redsocks {
 local_ip = 127.0.0.1;
 local_port = 9035;
 ip = 127.0.0.1;
 port = 9999;  // haproxy
 type = socks5;
}

Configuring DNSCrypt

Tor's DNSPort is able to resolve all the clearnet requests as well, but it is very slow and gives significant decrease in performance. DNSCrypt is a compromise between security and performance, though providers for our DNS requests should be selected carefully, because some of them may store logs. Full list of them can be found on (https://dnscrypt.info/public-servers), alternatively, you may host a DNSCrypt server by yourself.

ResolverName bn-nl0
ResolverName d0wn-nl-ns4
ResolverName scaleway-fr
Daemonize yes

# DNSCrypt will listen on this port
LocalAddress 127.0.0.1:5399

Configuring Unbound

Unbound will listen on 127.0.0.1:53 and act as a router for domain names. .onion domains will be resolved by our main Tor instance, that is listening on 127.0.0.1:5301. Everything else will be resolved through dnscrypt-proxy.

server:
    access-control: 10.0.0.0/8 allow
    access-control: 127.0.0.0/8 allow
    access-control: 192.168.0.0/16 allow
    cache-max-ttl: 14400
    cache-min-ttl: 900
    hide-identity: yes
    hide-version: yes
    interface: 127.0.0.1 # Unbound will listen as a DNS resolver on the port 53
    minimal-responses: yes
    prefetch: yes
    rrset-roundrobin: yes
    use-caps-for-id: yes
    verbosity: 0
    do-not-query-localhost: no
    local-zone: "onion." nodefault
    local-zone: "." nodefault

    forward-zone:
        name: "onion"
        forward-addr: 127.0.0.1@5301 # this is our main Tor DNSPort
        forward-first: no
    forward-zone:
        name: "."
        forward-addr: 127.0.0.1@5399  # this is our dnscrypt-proxy instance port

Glue everything together with iptables

Now, everything we have configured above won't work without proper iptables rules.

Firstly, add a rule that redirects all outbound UDP requests made by clients to port 53 to Unbound's 53. -A PREROUTING -i tun0 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:53

.onion resolved domains will be mapped to 10.192.0.0/10 range, thus we redirect this range to our main Tor instance -A PREROUTING -d 10.192.0.0/10 -i tun0 -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:9041

The restant clearnet connections will be redirected to transocks or redsocks. -A PREROUTING -i tun0 -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:9035

It's everything and your ultra-fast VPN should be working now. Sorry if I have disappointed you because you were expecting 100500 lines of boring configurations, along with examples using a 'sudo' command.

Bottom line I am using this configuration for 2 years already and it has become best for me among many other configurations I've been using in the past. Please share your own practice and experience as I am very eager to learn other ways of realizing this task.

This tutorial is special for LET.

Not sure if this has posted already, did not see it any recent threads.

_In an official statement Thursday, the European Commission announced it will cancel all 300,000 domains under the .eu top-level domain that have a UK registrant, following Britain's eventual departure from the European Union.

"As of the withdrawal date, undertakings and organizations that are established in the United Kingdom but not in the EU and natural persons who reside in the United Kingdom will no longer be eligible to register .eu domain names," the document states, adding, "or if they are .eu registrants, to renew .eu domain names registered before the withdrawal date."_

Hi guys

Could you please share your website monitoring services usage experience? I need to check HTTP(S)/DNS services and get alert via email and sms. What do you use? What can you recommend? I liked Pingdom features, but it’s UI - is to slow and difficult to use.

Thanks in advance.

because I'm running low on budget I need a coupon to renew my domain at namecheap any help tips are highly appreciated

Hi all,

I'm looking at Cloudxtiny and Host4Fun for non-critical vps hosting. They both have cheapish plans for <$7/yr for reasonable specs.

Does anyone have any experience with uptime/reliability/support for these 2 providers?

Are there any other providers that are under $7/yr with 128MB/128MB swap or 256MB RAM/5GB disk/100GB Bandwidth/IPv4 which people recommend?

Thanks

Been with Hivelocity for a year now as a colocation customer, figured I'd post a review. Steve runs a tight ship, and the support staff is great. Brian and Rick are fantastic, working with me at odd hours to get sales related changes pushed through. The bandwidth is top notch, pricing is great, and their datacenters in Tampa are clean and well built.

I have been iPhone user for several years, but i have decided to move to OnePlus 5T because of iPhone's ridiculous price increase.

So i have ordered OnePlus 5T, I'm thinking is it as secure as iOS? Do i need antivirus or malware protection in it? I'm not going to be downloading anything from anywhere else but Google Play store or maybe amazon. If so, which apps do i need to have in order to be as secure as possible.

Android users, please advise.
