Thanks, im glad you like our service. I am always happy to provide support, especially when people ask interesting questions and push the limits of the technology like you 
Just a quick announcement:
A feature we have been developing for the past couple months, IP Fallback is now going live. To celebrate we are giving it for free to all new an existing customers until Feburary 1st 2013. On this date it will be removed from all customers account and it will be available as an addon at an affordable price.
How this works: Occasionally there may be issues and IPs may go offline, what fallback does is changes the IP in which your domain resolves to when this happens. This is only temporary and as soon as the node comes back online your original IP is restored.
What do I need to do? All you need to do is change the way your DNS for your domain is setup. Where you currently have "A" records pointing to your proxy IP, you will need to change these to CNAME and the value to the CNAME alias shown on the IP Info page
A low TTL value is also recommended, a value of 300-600 would probably be optimal.

Just a reminder for all our customers. That didnt read our twitter, this is happening now.
"On January 18th SJ/LA DDOS will be undergoing a physical server move, the servers will be moving from San Jose to Vegas."
Id say it will take atleast another 4 hours before the servers arrive.

I'm trying to figure out if this service would help me.
Suppose I have let's say 15 websites on my server on a single IP address.
These sites have minimal traffic, like 10-50 UVs a day.
Would I be able to use this service to make it look as if each website is sitting on a different IP? How much would that cost for 15 sites?

Each service corresponds to an IPv4 instance. To do it properly you would want to distribute your IPs among different locations (Class C's etc). Persuming all your sites use less than 20GB of bandwdith then the first plan should be enough.
We have 5 US points of presence, the cheapest locations. Some howeaver are sold out or under restricted sale for other reasons at the moment (open a support ticket if you need Miami, Texas, San Jose or Chicago IPs). EU locations are marginally more and are available in Russia and Sweden and on request we can get IPs from multiple class C's in Russia due to a close relationship with the datacenter.
If you are ordering this many services, I can see about getting a couple more US nodes setup for more Class C addresses (we have been looking at New York and Washington as well as a few others).

Port redirect
Hi there.
I need your service, and i will start using as soon as you tell me if you also redirect specific ports. I have traffic on two ports (not 80 or any other usual port), and i need that traffic redirected to my IP. Is that anything you support??

We support TCP, UDP and HTTP forwarding on nearly any port. During setup the default fowardings are installed and can be modified in your dashboard (Services Page > Action > Edit)
The ports we do not allow (due to a blacklist on our part, it may be possible to get ports removed from this list).
UDP / TCP / HTTP < 80 reserved for internal use, with the exception of TCP 25 (SMTP) which is allowed.
TCP 10051 is not available in some locations
There is also a restriction that port 443 can not be used for HTTP backends, it will be assumed that the backend is of a HTTPS nature. But this is unrelated to any port restrictions.

outside DMCA is the wrong term, we do not condone anything. The hosts in Russia and Sweden have policies in place in that they choose not to forward electronic complaints to us. As such we have nothing to forward to you.
And you have to only manage complaints that are received through your own processes (up to you). The hosts themselves dont care.
The DMCA practices of the datacenters we are located in are fairly well known.

I don't get how this service works. Is it like Cloudflare?
Whats the bandwidth for? Overage fees? Is one able to buy more bandwidth anytime?
Would this service work for a download/streaming website? Seems like all the bandwidth would get used up in a few days.
Does it actual hide my site from people trying to figure out where its hosted at?
Like if I did a reverse dns/dns lookup on my website, would it show that its hosted somewhere else? In other words will the true host be hidden?
My website tends to get DMCA complainsts, I trying to avoid them without having to use offshore hosting but a different method instead like this service. Is that possible?
Is there any money back guarantee if one is unhappy with the service?
Let me know and thanks for your time.

We give you a new IP to replace your existing. So any reverse DNS lookup would reveal our IP address, not yours. Persuming it is set up correctly on your end (no references to your original IP).
The bandwidth prices in Sweden and Russia (our two privacy nodes) are pretty close to the cost of connectivity. They are expensive locations.
There is no overage, the limits are absolute. For plan billing this means an overage page. For PAYG billing when your account balance reaches 0 your service is terminated.
Plans can be changed at any time, however existing time remaining on the plan is forfeited. For upgrades we sometimes make exceptions for this rule based on manually calculated values.

If you put large files or streams through it it could be quite costly. But that's the nature of of Eastern Europe bandwidth. You can setup subdomains and send bulk traffic through there and serve HTML through the proxy. Depends on your exact needs and budget.
