I will be expanding my current PoP’s RAM up to 128GB in the upcoming weeks, also will be getting a 40 gig port. Also working out plans to add an additional physical hardware node to the current PoP for resiliency. I need some SSD servers and BGP tunnels to expand […]
Got my 2nd ARIN allocated /24 IPv4 block today. This is great news! Going to utilize both of these /24s and hopefully by the end of the year I can jump back on the list for a /23.
SoYouStart(SYS) is a subsidiary under OVH. They are no strangers to people. However, during the holiday time, they had a no-setup fee special for monthly subscriptions.

So, having a /24 and having every IP address being routable on the internet has its advantages. Namely – every IP can have its own set of open ports without conflict. Having said that, instead of running a central reverse proxy for SSL termination, I can run a caddy web […]
So, after setting up BGP peering and establishing connectivity to the outside world with my prefixes, my other priority is to setup a pair of authoritative DNS servers. This way I can use my own nameserver to set PTR records and also update my ARIN records with my authoritative DNS […]
