Dedicated Server with 500GB SSD

$
0
0

Looking for a new dev box. I have one at NOCIX but have outgrown it.

Specs don't need to be anything crazy but I'd like to have a 500GB SSD and a /29.

Not sure if this can be done for under $40 or so, but let me know if you have something you can do in that area.

Signed up here for the 2gig SSD plan: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/139307/crowncloud-500-gb-kvm-storage-at-los-angeles-ca-5-month-or-25-semi-annually-more/p1

Set up was fast, was confused as to why I chose an OS on signup, why the control panel told me I was online ** AND ** told me I was running CentOS 6 when no OS installed on signup.

Pretty odd behavior, but support was very fast and friendly. I am moving sites over from BudgetVM, with whom I have been with for a long time (4 + years) through thick and thin.

I will update this thread later on down the road. I do wish they had some sort of managed or add-on snapshot ability. As a VPS customer, our biggest risk is often the provider disappearing, so managed backups don't do much good in those situations, but I still would pay for them if they were an option.

Here is the nench if anyone cares,

Specs:

IOFlood  
Dual Xeon L5640

OVH major shortage of NAS servers

Hi

My order with OVH on a NAS drive has been pending for nearly 3 weeks. I've talked to OVH support several times be phone and email who have said that all data centres are suffering from a shortage of NAS disks. Does anyone know if OVH are phasing this product out?

Reverse IPv6

$

I got a NAT VPS to learn on and I'm stuck on a couple of things. Hopefully you friendly folk can help.

1.) I understand the shared IPv4 and the internal port forwarding alright but I'm not sure if the IPv6 address provided is dedicated. I think it's a range since in the SolusVM control panel I can create new ones. I'm not sure what the limit is yet or how multiples would even be helpful though.

2.) If my assumption is correct that it is a dedicated IP pointed at port 80 (it has a /80 after it) then how do I reverse proxy it using freedns.org? I've read articles about using cloudflare but I want to figure this out the hard way lol. So far I have my fully qualified domain name pointed at their DNS servers and in the IPv6 reverse proxy I have it pointed to that domain. Should this just work out after the records fully propagate?

3.) Would the port being limited to 80 for IPv6 prevent me from using SSL?

NoFraud - Proxy/VPN/Fraud Detection System

$
0
0

hey folks, i have just started working on this new small project of mine and one of my colleague, - https://nofraud.co/v1/

a bit of a background, my friend and i ran a GPT site for about a year back in the day (probably around 2 years ago) which forced us to face and deal with fraudulent users (those with proxies, VPNs, as well as botnet IPs) which were trying complete some CPA offers and surveys. So, out of curiosity and also insipired by (but NOT based on nor are we using the data of) getipintel.net / @black 's system, we have decided to try and make our own IP detection system which allows y'all to check whether an IP is considered "bad" (source of proxy/vpn/ssh brute force attacks/http attacks/datacenter ip/etc.. you name it.) using a public API.

You can use this on your forum registration page, order/checkout page, CPA landing page, CPM, CPC, TE, or any service that you run.

The system will give you an estimation (0 will be a clean IP, while 1 is considered tainted/bad, and between 0 - 1 is considered medium-high risk ip addresses. test this with your own data).

Free API (600 queries/day):

http://api.nofraud.co/ip.php?ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

*Please take note that:

  • test the data that the system will produce with your own dataset. i wont be responsible for any damage/losses. ToS and disclaimer can be seen on the homepage of my project.
  • it is FREE to use, so please dont abuse this API.
  • please report bugs if u find any.
  • more testing is still needed to clear some false positives and to find out the best way to calculate the scoring system

Live statistics for the blacklisted IPs are shown at the frontpage, as well as some simple javascript & python modules (bulk checking is also available through the .py module) and implementations are available on the website.

we have several scrapers on work as well as multiple honeypot systems. we have been building the list since a month ago, and so far it's been working relatively well. please let me know if there's any miscalculation on our part.

any constructive ideas and/or suggestions are very much welcome. thanks

I am curious are all data center IPs listed with MaxMind, Ip2Location etc.... or only ones that have been flagged in the past? Would it be possible to get IPs that would not fail do to DCH listing? Does that mean proxies from services fail the same test?

What's the safest way for backup and restore external snapshot using virsh libvirtd

$
0
0

Dears,

I've followed the following steps in order to get a snapshot of a running VM on my KVM, but actually i'm not sure if that the correct way or no :

/usr/bin/virsh snapshot-create-as \
--domain VM_NAME SNAPSHOT \
--diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/snapshot.dsk ,snapshot=external \
--disk-only \
--atomic 
  • then i edit the XML configuration in order to change the disk path to the original :

    virsh edit VM_NAME

replace: /var/lib/libvirt/images/snapshot.dsk with /var/lib/libvirt/images/VM.dsk

  • I delete the created snapshot:

/usr/bin/virsh snapshot-delete VM_NAME SNAPSHOT --metadata

  • then i get a copy from the block disk:
/usr/bin/virsh -q blockcopy VM_NAME vda /backup/block.dsk --wait --verbose -
-shallow --pivot
  • then :

/usr/bin/virsh blockcommit VM_NAME vda --active --verbose --pivot

  • then i define the VM again using the its dump XML..

Are these steps correct for taking a safe backup for the instance ? although of the outputed files' sizes are small comparing to the original ?

and the most important part now is:

How to restore the snapshot or the block in case if i faced any problems ? I tried to restore the block before using this command but it formatted the original disk and replaced with the small block that i backed up before which caused the VM to be lost :

# virsh stop VM_NAME

# qemu-img create \
-b /var/lib/libvirt/images/snapshot.dsk \
-f qcow2 \
var/lib/libvirt/images/VM.dsk

# virsh start VM_NAME

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.
