Did you know - you can also grab free #Linux based VPS now!

We took your feedback seriously and instead of breaking the philosophy at #BoxyBSD, @gyptazy crafted the @BoxedTux project with the same spirit and philosophy.

Free Linux based instances for learning, testing and educational content. Supporting #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Fedora, #RockyLinux, #Devuan, #Suse and many more ones!

#BoxedTux is also powered by @gyptazy to support the community and beginners just focussing more on Linux based systems. No worries, #BoxyBSD remains as it is!

Wow! After we temporary opened the gates for free VPS instances, we got more than 80 new registrations and already shipped more than 50 new, completely free #BSD bases VPS instances.

Thanks to @gyptazy for making this possible!

Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!

You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!

People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.

Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!

BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.

You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.

This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!

This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!
