Is it possible to destroy a server before it's time is up? What if I made a server, but now want to try out a different one without waiting 2 hours.
There seems to be a "Rebuild" button that allows you to recreate the server from another base image.
Second, any plan other login/signup methods?
Cool idea, I'll play with it.
Well done!
A few security aspects that I've noticed so far:
- calling the action(s) with an id that doesn't exist will show a pretty useful stacktrace, it should probably be disabled for production
- calling the action(s) with ids close to my server, I can do things to other people's servers (presumably, I didn't confirm the action for any of those, but I can at a minimum see what others have named their servers)
Not trying to be abusive, I just want to make sure we find the security bugs before the bad guys do, because I really like what you've built here.
This comes at a time when, as a Linux newbie, I am curious about exploring the range of various Linux distros and GUIs out there. Would this be a nice tool to see the differences in the windowing interface of various Linux distros and learning more about navigating Linux through X windows, KDE, Gnome, etc, vs just using a command line?
Why do this over simpler bandwidth throttling say after a certain threshold has been met?
I caught a bit of an awkward sentence on the FAQ though: "Unless specifically specified otherwise.."
Just "specified" will do :)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As a free service we will pretty strictly enforce abuse reports and take action on them. We're using a few methods to profile users based on their github account/ssh key and other factors to block abusers once their identified. Dply servers are blocked from using SMTP ports to prevent spam. Yes. You can create another server once the first expires but automating this process is not allowed and therefore we do not pro…
What constitutes abuse? I imagine certain applications that would be fine with the server going up and down every 2 hours. That would effectively mean that they would have free service indefinitely. For example, a Tor bridge.
But I hope you will succeed because there will probably come a time when I need something like this.
