Hello,
this is "Opening Day": finally decided to open fully featured shell accounts' registration on WPN: woodpeckersnest.space/eu for friends.
Who are friends then? Since IRL friends have zero interest in this, my friends are people I know and respect over the Internet, in particular - but not limited to - the XMPP network. They are mostly Italian and English speaking folks, since those are the only 2 languages I know..
This is a first-time experience for me, so give me a few days (a week maybe) to "adjust" and set account(s) up.
If you feel lucky, click the title of this post and apply now! 😏
It's been a week or so that I started using Wireguard on my desktop too, browsing the Internet and doing the usual stuff I do, but this time connecting both via IPv4 and IPv6 through my VPS.
Results? I've already been banned (or to better state it, my VPS's IPv4 has) from 3 popular hosts: reddit, imgur and alienwarearena. Reason? I don't really know, looks like everyone doesn't like VPNs.
For the time being I resorted to replace reddit.com
with old.reddit.com
(even in my SearxNG instance) to be able to browse that shit, which unfortunately is sometimes useful. "imgur" is even more trickier, since I was still able to upload images (and also display them) via their API on Glowing-Bear.. But if I try to curl imgur.com
from my VPS shell I get this:
{"data":{"error":"Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later."},"success":false,"status":403}
"Over capacity", yeah, but it's a 403, you liar!
So, a few moments ago I set my Wireguard service in Windows to manual start, stopped it and now I'm back with Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel - I would like to avoid being banned from the rest of the world, if possible.
Thanks for all the fish.
I recently moved from OVH to Contabo for my VPS: since setting up everything from scratch looked like a hard challenge, I moved everything using rsync
.
Firstly, some preparations:
- installed the same kernel I had on OVH
- rebooted Contabo
- installed rsync on Contabo
Then I switched to the OVH shell:
- created a
exclude.txt
file with all the directory and file I didn't want to move:
/boot/
/etc/modules
/etc/fstab
/etc/mtab
/etc/netconfig
/etc/networks
/etc/network/
/etc/ssh/
/etc/cloud/
/etc/cloud-release
/etc/grub.d/
/etc/host.conf
/etc/hostname
/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/init.d/cloud-config
/etc/init.d/cloud-final
/etc/init.d/cloud-init
/etc/init.d/cloud-init-local
/etc/initramfs-tools/
/etc/default/grub
/etc/default/grub.d/
/etc/kernel/
/etc/kernel-img.conf
/lib/modules/
/lost+found/
/sys/
/proc/
/dev/
/tmp/
/var/cache/
/var/log/journal/
/mnt/
/root/.ssh/
-
moved it to /root/exclude.txt
-
stopped all the running services
systemctl stop
-
now we can begin rsync-ing: you have to have access to the root user on destination VPS
rsync -avzP --exclude-from=/root/exclude.txt / root@CONTABO_IP:/
-
after that, I edited /etc/fstab
to add support for quota, like I had on OVH
-
then I searched and grepped /etc
for my OVH IP address, because I knew it was set somewhere on some config file
grep -r “OVH IP” /etc/*
-
and substituted it with the new Contabo IP, where necessary.
Finally, I could reboot Contabo:
reboot
Once up & running again, I changed all DNS entries from OVH to Contabo IP.. And waited 😀
Done!
EDIT! A detail I missed to mention is that your destination host's root password will be changed, after rsync-ing, to the one of the source host!!
