Post dealing with changes to how we route packets and configure our network.
Connectivity and DNS should be restored and functional again. If anything is not working as it should, reach out to our support desk and let us know.
Breakdown:
Our team was running updates on various VMs at the same time as the data center was working on their cabinets. There were a few power glitches which ruined a few router VMs and they had to be restored from local images made just before the firmware updates. Hopefully no other VMs were damaged.
There were some upstream issues that resulted in us loosing power a few times. Our team will be checking disk images and slowly getting connectivity back online, please have a bit of patience with us while we work on this.
–updates–
Core and Catos routers were restored from local images and should be alive again, we are still working on Ikus to see if it was damaged or not.
Ikus and CX were also damaged, Ikus has been restored from local. CX might need to be rolled back.
IPv6 Edge router is fine and is working as should. Web, email, NMS and Minecraft all seem to be okay as well.
I finished up accounting for the past month this morning and sent off emails to our project members and end users. If you have any questions about your usage, please feel free to reach out to us at our support desk.
Accounting is automated within our NMS but email creation is a manual task performed by our volunteers when they have time to do so. As a result, email timing may vary between months and may done in batches around the 28th. Also, for the past month, not a single member got close to the 600GB de-priority threshold and we had very moderate network use. Another little tid bit, yes…our NMS calls the accounting functions “bills” but MFN/FurrIX does not charge for network access.

Project Lifetime --> MFN/FurrIX has been in some sort of operational status since its unofficial start around July 2009. The current and live version officially started around May of 2021 and continues to be operational through 2024. There have been some very close calls over the past year or two, but we are fighting to hang in there!
