Funny thing, I don't have Oslo in my server list.

Today I discovered something strange with the Düsseldorf exit node.
I couldn't connect to the internet, I couldn't access any website and the IP check didn't show any IP.
So I disconnected and reconnected, and it was fine.
However, it seems to me that at least one of the IP addresses on the Düsseldorf server is bad (random exit IP address is enabled!), and needs to be sorted out.

This isn't funny, it's yet another example of the decay of PP.
The latest download of configuration files shows
Code:
Amsterdam1.conf Berlin1.conf Frankfurt1.conf Madrid1.conf Moscow2.conf Reykjavik1.conf Singapore1.conf Warsaw1.conf
Amsterdam2.conf ca.crt Hamburg1.conf Manchester1.conf NewYork1.conf Riga1.conf Stockholm2.conf Zurich1.conf
Amsterdam3.conf Calais1.conf Hongkong1.conf Miami1.conf Nuremberg1.conf Rotterdam1.conf Sydney1.conf Zurich2.conf
Basel1.conf client.crt London1.conf Milan1.conf Nuremberg2.conf Rotterdam2.conf ta.key Zurich3.conf
Basel2.conf client.key London2.conf Montreal1.conf Paris1.conf Rotterdam3.conf Tokyo1.conf
Belgrade1.conf Duesseldorf1.conf LosAngeles1.conf Moscow1.conf Prague1.conf Rotterdam4.conf Vienna1.confIf you still want to use Oslo just copy an existing config file to Oslo1.conf and switch the IP address within to 91.205.187.186
It's not the first time I've discovered that certain combinations don't work with multi-hopping, so I guess I'll make a list that shows them all.

I will continue to list the good Dusseldorf IP adresses here since i cannot detect the bad ones.
Good VPN exit nodes:
5.199.139.139
5.199.139.156

Wonderful, ALL Rotterdam servers are offline. That is, for sure, premium.

Personally I see it as a good sign when VPN services get kicked out of data centres for "abuse", because the real reason is not the "abuse" but the fact the VPN provider refuses to dox their clients (or can't because there are genuinely no logs).
When you look at the big VPN companies and wonder why they never seem to have any trouble with data centres, because after all they must have even more "abusers" than the smaller providers, the reason is because they will dox you in a heartbeat.
It's also not surprising that PP has to change hardware. Dedicated hosting is the data centre's hardware, so new data centre equals new hardware. Or if they're colocating then maybe it got siezed, which is pointless on an immutable system, so maybe that's what pissed them off.
In any case, I only need one live server to do what I need, so I'm happy to chill and wait it out. I spend more on coffee in a single breakfast than a month of PP VPN, so I'm not losing any sleep over it.

@PP Christian What is going on? Why are all Rotterdam servers offline?

Someone has misused the servers that are offline for DDOS or spam etc.. If this gets out of hand, the servers are taken offline by the data centre as a precaution. We then have to say that we will take care of it and, if necessary, block the IPs that have been attacked etc.. Sometimes the data centres are even fed up with PP at some point and we have to look for new locations.
That's the price we have to pay for not having any user data. If we had it, we could identify the black sheep and block their access, or possibly even hand it over at the request of the authorities. However, we would have to collect everyone's data for this and we don't want to do that. It's possible that the other providers are logging something to prevent their servers from being misused. I mean, we're the only ones who don't even track the number of devices, or how do you think you can limit a package to 5-6 devices without collecting data?
There is no convenient solution to this problem.
Anyone who is prepared to go down this path with us is welcome. If you are not, please leave and look for another provider and forum.
