| All of my personal racks and (roughly) 1/5 of rsync.net have

|
| I have never experienced a single power outage. Warm Springs
| datacenter.
|
| Genuinely curious what you're talking about ?

| Just guessing but they might be referring to their first

| the one you are in was a night and day difference. The newer
| one had redundant power and networking and was built
| professionally. I say newer but this was a long time ago.

| Other than that we had no issues though.
|
| But it's been about 7 years since we've colocated our
| servers there.

| They use TOPT or am I missing something?

| Beggars can't be choosers. Were it a paid service then I
| could better understand your complaints. I'm willing to bet
| if you reached out to them, inquiring about the lack of any
| feature, then they would likely explain why it has yet to be
| implemented.

| What's the meaning of this negative commentary? Is HE known

| Yeah, same here. I've used HE tunnels and DNS for close

| free public service they provide.
| stas2k wrote:
| Same here! Very happy with their free service, and they
| do support 2FA.
|
| UI is minimal and gets everything done
| AviationAtom wrote:
| They do indeed provide some excellent quality services to
| the public, without asking any payment in return. I love
| their BGP tools, among many others.

| Does Hurricane Electric run Windows DNS Server ??
