DeluxHost. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/208373/deluxhost-net-new-xeon-gold-epyc-vps-high-stability-start-from-7-yr-pre-order-nl

That said despite the IPv4 and v6 addresses showing up as NL in every database I've checked. I am STILL getting a 403 from lgbtqia.space. I give up. Oh well fun evening project.

    @sam @millihertz does the domain reverse to a .uk domain or something?

      @penguin42 @sam @millihertz@oldbytes.space If the stupid law magically applies to people with no connection to the UK, then surely it might also apply to UK residents operating a server elsewhere. That would even make a little sense.

        @mansr @sam Possibly; but I was wondering how it was detecting @sam UKness.

          @penguin42@mastodon.org.uk @mansr It’s nothing that advanced. Just one single geoip database incorrectly resolving the v6 prefix to london. Trying to get it updated.

            @penguin42 @sam i get the same result here. whereas if i flip back to my Frankfurt VPS, i can see lgbtqia.space just fine.

            the irony is that DeluxHost isn't a UK-based company, whereas EthernetServers, who supply my Frankfurt VPS, is...

            @mcp - are you aware that your geoblocking is being a bit overeager and blocking some Amsterdam-based IP addresses too?

              @millihertz@oldbytes.space @penguin42 I’ve tracked it to one of many geoip databases resolving the v6 address to London. All the others I have found say Amsterdam. I’m trying to get it updated. 🤦‍♂️

                @sam good luck! ...i'm considering the nuclear option - just turning IPv6 off at the server end. having had issues with IPv6 on a VPS before, i was surprised and delighted to find that you can do that from the DeluxHost control panel! and if it's just proxying / SOCKSying, then there's not much downside to IPv4-only

                a less extreme alternative might be hardcoding lgbtqia.space to 195.201.202.11 in /etc/hosts - ed just tested this, and it worked for me.

                    @sam thanks! i'm now in possession (well, virtually) of a shiny new €7pa EPYC-based VPS myself

                    as regards your London one - does the supplier have any data centres in mainland Europe, and would they be willing to switch it? i found that EthernetServers were quite happy to flip me across to Frankfurt once a US-based VPS looked like a bad idea
