Service Malfunctioning 5 AM - 9 AM CET+1 May-23-2013

[Staff 10114]

Hello!

 

Due to a series of unfortunate events the service quality has been severely impacted since 5 AM till 9 AM CET+1. A combination of network unavailability in an important datacenter AND a hard disk corruption in one of the backend servers caused a repeated de-sync of the clustered database.

 

The above did NOT affect connections to VPN servers but caused:

• problems in connecting with the Air client for Windows (Windows users who use OpenVPN or OpenVPN GUI etc. were not affected)
• new account activations delays
• port forwarding malfunction
• dynamic DNS update delays

All the problems have been solved, however please note:

• if you posted a ticket and the ticket has been set to "Resolved" without a proper answer, please re-submit the ticket
• if you posted a message in the forum and the post has not appeared, please re-submit the post

We apologize for the inconvenience. 4 hours malfunction is the longest malfunction time in our service in the last 24 months and we'll do our utmost best to prevent such problems to occur again.

 

Kind regards

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that a clustered database is out of sync, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a cold keyboard and typing to re-sync the database, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that the database will remain out of sync forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake some UberTechies up, so that they can feel this way, too.

The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.”
