    Xneelo Outage

    As of ~two minutes ago, international connectivity has also been restored.

    Xneelo Outage

    Looks like they pulled all of their routes outside of SA. As a result, local connectivity has been fully restored, but international access is completely gone.

    Xneelo Outage

    What is interesting is that we also have hosted servers at another location and from there to Xneelo, there is zero packet-loss. I guess it's a direct peering link from there to Xneelo. --deckert

    Xneelo Outage

    Xneelo isn't saying, but it's definitely starting to look that way. So much for their DDoS mitigation service. --deckert

    Xneelo Outage

    Xneelo has been having a total connectivity outage since 08:40 this morning. Their status page confirms this: https://xneelostatus.co.za/incidents/5afc3a47-7809-483a-a1cc-98886971bfd9 But the status page does not mention that co-located servers are also unreachable. Outage is ongoing. --deckert

    Xneelo MTU problems

    It's a bad design then. The issue is with inbound traffic, makes no difference if we set it for outbound. In any event, we've since learned (from another forum member) that Xneelo sends their international traffic to a "scrubbing" company that helps them deal with DDoS traffic. I can only...

    Xneelo MTU problems

    It's affecting us in a fairly big way. All the cloud providers that offer IPSec VPN services (e.g. GCP - Google Cloud) have issues connecting to our services. It affects all international destinations. Local (i.e. within the ZA routing/peering space) things work perfectly fine. We've raised a...

    Xneelo MTU problems

    Hi, As of late., we're experiencing significant disruptions from the Xneelo datacenter to/from international destinations for packets larger than 1476 bytes. The default is 1500 bytes, but at the time of this writing, any packet larger than 1476 bytes is simply dropped. Is anybody else...

    We just not going to talk about Afrihost and Gallo manor issues?

    MTN is not just talking about sun-setting Gallo Manor - it's happening. The dates have been set. Gallo Manor has been hanging on by a thread for a very long time and the building and surrounding parking itself has been deteriorating a lot over time. 1st of June 2026 is the last day for clients...

    What's your base load?

    I see them as base load since that's what is (almost always) consumed during the course of a normal day, every day of the year. My desktop is always on, which allows me to access anything on my home network via my own VPN. I take a netbook with me when I travel, but it's mostly just a dumb...

    What's your base load?

    On average, between 400W and 600W base load. Peaks shown are the two geysers (the geysers are never on at the same time thanks to a load-priority switch). Most of the idle load comes from: - two fridge/freezer combos - TV in the lounge (off at night, but plays music during day and watched in...

    Indeed, almost all of them hosted at Hostinger.com - already reported the lot to them as well. More info here: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/32477-website-check/page/2/ --deckert

    Also, let me add: I'm grateful for all the responses here - never expected such a strong response. Thank you. Case has been logged and the bank has already blocked the offending account (for what it's worth). --deckert

    I've started all of the processes. This seems to be very wide with a number of other, similar-looking sites listed in this thread: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/32477-website-check/page/2
