My mrvm instance - DNS using unbound, wireguard, runs last resort rclone repository backup for my borgbackup servers. vpsdime instance - primary borgbackup server, wireguard. Spare capacity for stuff I haven't thought of yet.
free euserv instance (IPV6 only) - secondary borgbackup server.
I have 5 x mrvm that I use for monitoring. Being able to measure things from different networks in different parts of the world for basically no money at all is awesome. They all collect metrics and feed it to a central Influxdb which is then used by Grafana to draw pretty graphs on a monitor in my office. Looks pretty nice when you get dials and graphs with reply times from lots of different countries.
Also, they are all part of a wireguard network so the fact that they are behind ipv4 nat is a non issue for me, I reach them on internal addresses anyway.

Most of my clients are in Europe so I don't really need that...but yeah, I might do it just for the awesome Grafana dashboard I could make with metrics from the whole world.
Why outsource it when there is automated "Proxy Domains" via panel on most ones ?
On Wishosting its manual via ticket.
Limited to one domain I believe. We would like to host multiple web on it.
⭕ A simple uptime dashboard using UptimeRobot API https://upy.duo.ovh
⭕ Currently using VPS from BuyVM, GreenCloudVPS, Gullo's, Hetzner, HostHatch, InceptionHosting, LetBox, MaxKVM, MrVM, VirMach.
Thank you for the I will try to add another domain then.

Where do I see that?
It is integrated in the control panel of Inception hosting. MrVm has it by name 'Domain Forwarding'.
Wishosting users needs to use tickets for forwarding & does not support https (afaik).
One of my mikho NAT VPS is used for maintaining a reverse SSH tunnel providing fail-safe option to my PC in my office (it's behind a corporate NAT) ever since having to work from home. Sometimes the GUI crashes on the computer and RDP programs cannot be accessed, so I use the SSH reverse tunnel to sudo reboot when it happens.

I've used them as general beataround vps and scrapers in the past, and also as vpn endpoints. Really they can do almost anything a native ipv4 vps of similar size can. But I kept wanting more disk space. I did use one of Neoon's to experiment with a control panel (I've forgotten its name) but hit some snag end ended up using a Vultr VM for that. Anyway NAT is great.
Also, they are all part of a wireguard network so the fact that they are behind ipv4 nat is a non issue for me, I reach them on internal addresses anyway.
Doesn't that require a main WG server, or is there a way to do it similar to Tinc/ZeroTier (especially on Windows)?

I run a custom PHP script that connects to open ports on my regular servers and sends me a notification if the server failed to connect after 6 attempts.
Pool the data from 3 or 4 of these servers distributed all over the world, and you have a moderately good uptime tracker.

IPv6 is great, but I would prefer if I didn't have to configure each IPv6 address I want to use in the VPS configuration. I wonder why I can't have the whole IPv6 prefix (/64 or other size) routed to the VPS.

Hi, may I know what you are using to monitor and type of things you’re monitoring? I’ve been meaning to setup my own influxdb with grafana to learn more about them.

I just use simple scripts, mostly sh but some perl and php, to collect the metrics I want. Its mostly just pingtimes and checks to see of a process is running or a service is responding on a certain port. Most of my checks are just a few lines of sh that echoes a textstring to influxdb using nc, so its really nothing fancy.
I try to keep everything simple, I've found that keeping the monitoring very simple and then collect and centralize all the simple data is the best way to stay in control. The fancy bit comes when you visualize it with Graphana, nice and beautiful graphs and dashboards sells anything.

Sounds great... would you be able to share a sneak peek of your dashboard? Thnx.

Dashboards, plural. I have a lot.
And sorry but no, I'd rather not. They contain lots of hostnames and other info that I prefer not to post on a public forum. But if you want to look at dashboards for inspiration there are thousands at https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards.
If you just want some of the simple shellscripts to generate metrics just pm me, I have some really simple checks you can copy that should get you started to make your own.

Fair. I'll pm you for the scripts. I have a couple of idling vps and it will be nice to see if I can collect lots of data and make them less idle ??

On Wishosting its manual via ticket.
Limited to one domain I believe. We would like to host multiple web on it.
⭕ A simple uptime dashboard using UptimeRobot API https://upy.duo.ovh
⭕ Currently using VPS from BuyVM, GreenCloudVPS, Gullo's, Hetzner, HostHatch, InceptionHosting, LetBox, MaxKVM, MrVM, VirMach.
@mikho could you enlighten us on this?
Not limited. You can create as many as you want.
TCP proxy entries will be deleted. Only HTTP/S are allowed.
You need to configure your webserver to handle the different domains you add, same as you would have done on a ”regular” VPS.

I like to idle them. Not as good for idle as the dedicated servers but they perform reasonably well
They do have ipv6, so I just use that.

Botnet!
I usually use them as uptime trackers or private VPNs.
Can you elaborate how yo do that?
