An interesting idea. It never occurred to me that this was actually perfectly possible. Has anyone else been offering this? It seems like the perfect use case for a tiny NAT VPS; a truly low-end low-cost DNS server.
I was trying to think of pitfalls, but so far the only thing that comes to mind is that the destination server will never know the source address of the request. That will make logs useless and filtering impossible, but is far from a major pain.

The same with HAProxy, some people never adopted the TLS/SSL Support, most did.
Its easy to add it, even easier than HAProxy, so they should and likely will.

Possible since not encrypted, its also Supported I think but I won't enable it yet.

May I please ask why not? Thanks!
I Just read its possible, but I don't yet checked how to enable it.
As soon its up, then surely will patched later.
Right now reverse dns is up and running, waiting for 4 subnet delegations still.
Gonna enable dns forwarding next.
several small GUI changes, including fixes and improvements
added Reverse DNS, per Request from @Not_Oles
This Feature is not Available in some Locations, due to technical limitations including Singapore, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
Plus I am still waiting for some dns server delegations, expect the Feature to be fully available by next week
added DNS Proxy, so you can run your own DNS server behind NAT IPv4
EDNS Forwarding is not enabled yet, its planned for the next Patch
I wanted to update the design of NanoKVM first, however I am still not done and I suck at it.
Afterwards updating it to PHP 8 before doing any feature changes.
Given the code already exists in microLXC its just copy & paste.
I will check if I can add it to microLXC soon, then ^
A planned maintenance window will be occurring in our Auckland (New Zealand) facility on Wednesday, March 2nd between 3AM - 4AM NZDT. This will make some of our VPS and dedicated servers unreachable for a maximum period of 30mins throughout the maintenance window.
I don't really like this decision, but the way LET is going right now, I am not willing to Support this anymore.
Means, Accounts created after the 14th of March, will be rejected by the System when you apply, for now. I don't know if things will change so, could be that this is gone in a week again.
This does not affect accounts created before on LET in any way.
If you wanna try microLXC after the 14th of March, I suggest you try the OGF.
South Africa is still down, since this is an older VM, I don't have Panel access, neither VNC access.
The Support replied suggested an OOM issue, which I can't confirm but this does not help to solve the issue either.
The VM has been rebooted but no luck so far, plus the Support seems to be very slow in replying to tickets.
No ETA when this gets fixed.
JP is currently offline because the traffic limit was exceeded of the instance.
I am currently asking for a reset/upgrade of the limit, so the instance should be back online shortly.
Traffic usage is tracked at all times, but was never enforced, since most people behaved nicely.
A Patch will follow shortly to address this issue.
Just wanted to give a try to one of these NAT LXC instances...... but it fell here: Your request got rejected for the following reason: Lowendspirit account not found
Tried with lowercase only, same result!
Someone could help?

Sorry for the Delay, this should now be fixed, please try again.
Regarding the container issues with LXC, so far KVM support has been added and works well.
The Plan would be, to switch all Locations to KVM in the longrun.
The new NL Location is already ready and will be Online this week, the Packages will be KVM only.
Hong Kong should be available by next week, same here, KVM only, still waiting for IPv6 allocation.
The other locations will follow.
VNC is not added yet, will be added as soon I get it working.
Packages on Norway have been switched to KVM, except the Storage Package.
Devuan is not available currently for KVM Packages, its disabled on the Reinstall Menu however, not yet disabled if you make a new Deployment.
Which will result in a Deployment error if you still choose it.

Groningen (NL) is now Available, Dronten (NL) has been disabled for new Deployments, it will be terminated in the next months.
Please move your Instance in the next weeks to a different Location.
Patch Notes
KVM Packages have been deployed in MB instead of MiB, which resulted in less Memory allocation as they should get.
Fixed.
Network Stats did not work for KVM Instances.
Fixed.
@TigersWay said: @Neoon And after 30 minutes, it went back by itself to the registration step, without any message!
Yes 30 minutes is the window when the verification session will be terminated.
According to the Logbook, you got stuck in-between Verification and Account Creation.
I did applied a Patch again, currently I have no automated testing for the Forum verification process, otherwise I would have catched these issues.
