I've been haunting the Black Friday threads on #LowEndTalk and finally figured out why my self-managed VPN exit is in internet jail ๐ on so many sites ... the direct VPS provider and the provider they're reselling from are both known to be shady ... sometimes you do get what you pay for, and in this case I paid like $18 for a year of #VPS service.
it got me thinking though, the money certainly wasn't wasted, in that I have several months experience doing my personal internet stuff on an IP that's on a few naughty lists, and I also now have firsthand knowledge of a couple cheap hosts to avoid. it's more fodder for Surfhosting documentation.
just gonna put this out there - if anybody wants to toss me a few bucks (or @incognet wants to sponsor me ๐) - I'll sign up for the IncogNET Professional VPN product and do a review. I'm gonna be watching up to four (4) cats in different parts of town in the next few weeks and planning to do further testing & development of my setup for working remotely from the #CouchLab, so now would be a perfect time for it...
