Seattle Network China optimisation temporarily partially disabled

The China optimisation for our Seattle network is currently temporarily disabled due to maintenance by our transport provider, this will end at 14:00 UTC by the latest but we expect it to end much sooner.

  • This is fully resolved as of 13:51 UTC. There was unfortunately a 4 minute outage leading up to then, linked to this overall maintenance.

  • It appears this wasn't completed by our transit provider as it went back offline 5 minutes ago, we've once again shifted to our backup networking.

  • This was completed as of 12:28 UTC.

    Dallas Network Dallas and Ashburn network instability

    We're seeing intermittent network outages for our Dallas and Ashburn network due to issues with CosmicGuard's network, they're working on a resolution.

  • CosmicGuard has started seeing global packet loss of up to 10%, affecting our Dallas and Ashburn locations

  • Issues have started again, CosmicGuard has said they have a plan to resolve the disruption, caused by large attacks leaking past Cloudflare.

  • We haven't seen any disruption for the past 35 minutes so it's likely this has now been resolved.

  • CosmicGuard has now updated their status page: https://status.as30456.net/en-gb/cmhhpokrs00s1omomxdm6ppa4

  • CosmicGuard has confirmed they're actively working on a resolution with Cloudflare to stabilise the network.

  • The network instability has been continuing, with disruptions every ~5 minutes affecting almost the whole of CosmicGuard's global network. Our current assumption is that ddos attacks are likely the cause, we haven't yet received an update from CosmicGuard.

    Seattle Network Seattle network latency

    Our Seattle DDoS protected network saw instability starting at 20:37 UTC and ending at 20:45 UTC, this was caused by one of our DDoS mitigation providers, Neoprotect, suffering a full network outage, our backup network automatically took over within minutes and this will remain active until Neoprotect is stable again.

    See the update below for full details:

  • Neoprotect has stated that they are not going to continue their service. We are investigating alternative DDoS mitigation providers and hope to have one available soon, this will also return latency to normal levels.

  • Neoprotect is still offline, they use datapacket/CDN77 as a sole upstream and they disabled Neoprotect's service which resulted in the full global outage of Neoprotect's network. You can read more about the cause here: https://status.neoprotect.net

    We are currently routing DDoS protected inbound traffic through Cnservers Los Angeles so there will be a latency increase for locations that are geographically close to Seattle, if this is a problem for you in the short term, please contact us and we'll discuss the options available with you.

    Longer term, we will onboard another ddos mitigation provider, potentially GSL, that has a local Seattle POP, this will ensure latency is normal.

    SEABKVM26 Seattle E5 KVM - SEABKVM26 outage

    Seattle E5 KVM VPS server - SEABKVM26 - suffered a power off event at 18:34 UTC 4th October 2024. We powered the server back on and VMs were booting up within 6 minutes of the downtime occurring. We'll monitor this server and take action in the future if necessary.

  • This server has since been stabilised, we will live migrate VPS off it in the near future - no downtime.

  • The server has since rebooted twice, we're currently working on a migration plan.

    Dallas Network Dallas network instability

    Our Dallas Path.net DDoS protected IPs are currently seeing intermittent high packet loss and very short outages. We're already in contact with Path about this and hope it's resolved shortly.

  • We have now removed Path.net from our network. Path has not shown any willingness to work with us to resolve major issues on their end therefore we have decided to permanently switch to CosmicGuard. We do not currently have a customer control panel developed due to the quick switch to CosmicGuard, it is being worked on and will be released soon. If you need rules/filters created in the meantime, please contact us via support ticket.

  • We have moved our IP prefixes to CosmicGuard ddos protection until Path.net resolves their issues. If you require any specific filters made for CosmicGuard, let us know, as we do not currently have a customer control panel available for this yet.

    VPS servers SEAKVM18, SEAKVM19, SEABKVM24 and SEABKVM25 are also offline as a result.

    We're investigating.

  • Switch is back online now and the services are currently recovering from the downtime.
