Upkeep avali for FurrIX, typically hides in the NOC

NS Service to Brazil Restored

It looks like the amplification attack has let up, so the NOC has restored IPv4 service to IP blocks in the region. We will be keeping an eye on the situation and will reinstate the geoblock if the attack starts up again.

Welcome back, Kyru!

As you guys can see from the past few post, Kyru is returning to volunteer status as we get ready to switch back into full operation and expand our network.

He will be spending his time on tier one support and in the NOC helping us plan out and deploy our allocations across both of our servers. Also, his project is now a sister project to FurrIX as we have worked out a deal with Project Deco in exchange for his help around here.

One of the big projects involving him is reworking our terms of service, network management policy and acceptable use policy. While the spirit of these documents won’t change much, the language used in them will become cleaner.

I will be taking the time to show him around the IPAM, our routers and teaching him how to manage our name servers as time permits.

Welcome back to the team, Kyru!

NS Records Fixed

Checking with our registrar, we discovered that some of our NS records were incorrect. This has been corrected and we should no longer be pointing to a ‘dead’ name server in our glue records now.

Upkeep on eMail Server Done

The changes to the eMail server have been made and tooling is in place to manage blacklisting. Both of the volunteers working on this have checked over our configuration and we should be back online.
