X4B.ORG - Reverse Proxy Hosting - Hide your Server IP (Russia, Sweden, USA, Romania)

Correct, it was XSLTel and they just lost all our data, although I have two primary nodes now and a backup within a few minutes I think its unprofessional and as such asked for a refund. I think most people would agree, expecially after the 48hours downtime in 3 days they cost us.

Cheers for fixing it!
SplitIce: Any ETA for the swedish node? (Didn't know that PRQ did offer VPS though, through which provider are you getting it?)
Anyway, would it be possible either to cache static files (png, gif..) or to have a small storage space on the reverse proxy node and have it for example available under static.domain.com? (might save bandwidth, without the need for a CDN or external host for files - and more easy to setup than a cache for php files...)

Actually I dont think its happening any more, provider decided it would be to expensive to setup a node there. I used to offer a sepperate CDN service, it will be back eventually when its ready.
We will be getting another node when we have ~4 more people on the russian node. Maybe back at ecatel, maybe a Swiss node, maybe Poland, maybe HK we really dont know at this stage.
Estonia is also on the TODO list, if people wanted it we would set it up now but as of late I havent been in a huge rush to setup new nodes. Plus I want the russian node to be paying for itself to a certain extent before another node is purchased.

@kolaps: the VPS node is stable, a grand total of 9 hours downtime in 2 months since I purchased, 7.5 of which was because we ran out of bandwidth.
As for the bandwidth, of course they count in+out, so do we. Im guessing the overhead is in the syncronisation and other stuff we do to ensure that the data is kept up to date on all nodes. Doesnt matter now anyway, we just upgraded the allocation to 1TB (Which is a lot in russia).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1) All my IPS in X software apear as that of your proxy IP
Solution (one of the following):
This is because it is actually our server connecting to yours, we send the real clients IP in a http header which can be utilized as follows.
1) Install mod_rpaf on Apache [Tutorial: cPanel (only the rpaf part)] [Tutorial: Regular apache (again only the rpaf part -- at the end)]
2) Compile nginx with mod-realip and configure accordigly
or
3) put this at the start of your php script
A good place to put this is generally your config file as its generally the first php file included in all pages although it depends on the script.
2) Will this mod negatively or positively have any impact on my servers load.
Answer: Not really, if anything it will reduce load. This is because the fronted server will handle gzip and keepalive for the client two major contributors to static file load on apache.
3) How long of a wait is it for setup?
Answer: Setup occurs almost instantly (< 1 minute)

error logs - A message of the error that occured, may contain a user IP and source URL if relevant (e.g client early termination or segfault) - rare
Rotated (cleared): every 9m.
byte logs - Amount transferred, gzip, server IP (not client, not real IP - anonymous IP)
Rotated (cleared): every 2-4m.
No logs of paypal or webmasters are kept except what paypal stores internally. Although we do store your email address from signup in order to ensure any (rare) DMCAs get fowarded to you.

ok, thanks for your reply.
m means month? If so that's a long time!
Anyway, not a big issue for privacy if you don't keep ips
(I don't keep ips on my server and would not break my privacy statement by using your services )
btw, i see how to remove ip logging from nginx log, but how to disable ip logging on the error log exept for critical errors?
Thanks!

Hello. Do you support a dynamic IP address server (I'd set a domain name in control panel instead of an IP) and a custom port.
I am unable to find a good host and I am thinking in hosting my sites at home and using your service to hide IP.

Sorry for the delay, ive been moving.
@NEC:
No sorry we dont at this stage, although I could make something for you if you needed it wouldnt be dificult.
@kolaps:
Yes m means month.
"btw, i see how to remove ip logging from nginx log, but how to disable ip logging on the error log exept for critical errors?"
well a custom log format for removing it from access logs but you dont need to worry about that, we do that on our end. And you cant remove them from error logs without modifying the source.

Could you make it so we are notified when funds are low?
Currently you should be howeaver it is sent from our server in russia currently, as such gmail and most services currently put it in the spam folder.
This will change soon as I am working on v2.1 which will send remote email, and we will probably support NL proxying again.
