This is the ninth summary we publish. The summary shows the amount of traffic passing through our servers, uptime and peak traffic. We also report how many customers we have and plans for the near future.
OVPN had two planned maintenances in June. We were also affected by the global disruption of the Internet that occurred on June 12.
Summary
Our VPN servers maintained an uptime of at least 99.5% in June.
Traffic decreased by 45 TB in June from the previous month, which means that the total volume of traffic was 365 TB.
In June, OVPN received an additional 300 customers, bringing the total number to 2900. We are also preparing to grow very much in the autumn.
Within two months we release our own client for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X. We work hard on the client and are very pleased with the results. The client is simplifying the process of using OVPN enormously because no special settings need to be made. In addition to simplifying the use of OVPN, the client also has a number of functions that strengthen security and anonymity even more for our customers.
We are also preparing for an international expansion, which is done by renting rack cabinets in other countries from Europe. These rack cabinets and the servers placed in them will have exactly the same physical security as our data centers in Sweden. Negotiations are underway with several data centers and internet service providers to find the best solution for our needs. We have also started the process of translating the website into several languages and improving all content. In connection with this, we rewrite the entire codebase of the website in Laravel 5.1.
As mentioned earlier, the infrastructure in Stockholm will also be upgraded, which is done by acquiring several servers and a new switch. VPN05 will soon also be updated so that the server can assign both Swedish and US IP addresses.
We recently released our disk image for OVPNbox as open source. Instructions and the disk image can be found in our FAQ. If you don't have a computer that you can use as a box, you can buy it from us. However, there are only nine boxes left in the warehouse - after that it is completely sold out! If you are interested in renting or buying a box, you should take the opportunity as it is the last boxes we will sell this year.
Inthe future, we are working to load balance the website to ensure that a downtime on a web/sql server does not cause any problems with our API. The solution to ensure a high level of reliability is structured in two separate steps:
-
Website and MariaDB servers will soon be behind a load balancer. We also operate another server, which means that web & sql runs on three separate servers in three different data centers. This means that all three servers need to be down in order for our VPN servers not to be able to authenticate clients.
-
If the worst happens and all servers are down, all VPN servers will allow anyone to connect while we cannot authenticate clients. When web & sql servers become available again, active clients will be reauthenticated and 'unauthorized' will be logged out. This will work for all services except public IP because the servers do not know which IP address to assign to the client.
