Six servers withdrawal announcement: Canada

[Staff 9748]

Hello!

We regret to inform you that we have been unable to contact one of our providers in Canada since 24 hours ago. All of its servers are down as well as its web sites. Affected servers are the following five:

Almach
Dheneb
Grumium
Kraz
Rana
Spica

Luckily infrastructure redundancy is so high in Canada that lack of those five servers will not impact quality of service.

We will update this thread with future developments, as soon as we receive any kind of information.

Kind regards
AirVPN Staff

Hello!

Servers connectivity has been partially restored. IPv6 is still unavailable and entry-IP addresses 3 and 4 seem unreachable.

Kind regards

Hello!

Multiple connectivity problems are still affecting all the 6 servers. We have no communications from the provider so far.

Kind regards

Hello!

The datacenter operations might be impaired by the charges against the datacenter management issued on last June and related to crimes allegedly committed in 2012:

Although our VPN servers in that datacenter have still IPv4 connectivity, only on some IP addresses, we can't of course count on them reliably. We are therefore shutting them down. Infrastructure in Canada remains with 31 servers capable of 1 Gbit/s bandwidth each, which provide wide redundancy, and we will anyway enlarge it whenever necessary.

Kind regards
