holy FUCK i need cheap vps for irc bouncer and this service is the absolute cheapest nonkyc albiet overkill specs gullo hosting offers nat vps for 3.50USD/yearly but requires kyc and very trustable with communication and canary WISH it accepted cash by mail as alternative option to monero
The fact you mention the canary being trustable is very suspicious as it was expired until you posted this. I believe Kyun may be reviewing themselves.
If we were reviewing ourselves, we certainly wouldn’t be high or drunk while doing so. :)
trustable as in availability of canary cock.li canary which is renewed today https://archive.ph/pOewE is always expired so my expections are the same
Sorry, same person but forgot to save my login. The cock.li canary is not even expired in that snapshot. The kyun.host canary was expired (https://web.archive.org/web/20250711022022/https://files.kyun.host/canary.txt Sadly this only shows the 11th but it is still expired.) up until the 17th which is 22 days, over twice the stated update time which is 10 days.
ToS states that your account and access to services can be suspended
It’s normal for services like Kyun to be able to suspend accounts to keep our IPs clean and block abusers. If we didn’t, users like you would face disruption.
Amazing prices, love the service! ALERT, THE CANARY IS EXPIRED, THIS MEANS LAW ENFORCEMENT MAY HAVE SUBPOENAED DATA! https://files.kyun.host/canary.txt
They finally updated it after seeing the comment. The canary this comment was referring to (https://web.archive.org/web/20250711022022/https://files.kyun.host/canary.txt) was active until the end of the 17th, it was expired for 12 days with no law enforcement requests, hopefully they improve this in the future.
Love them, they have not been the most reliable provider uptime-wise but they do not make silly promises and are clear, so you know what you are getting. They are Monero OGs and the UI is very cool (IMO). Been using their servers for a long time now and I would recommend them for non-critical infras (lately the uptimes have been really good, so maybe even for critical ones in the future)
Apart from occasional downtime (which there hasn’t been much of recently anyway), they’re very cheap unlike most other privacy focused vps providers.
Added context: This comment was published before the user joined the KYUN team
Indeed they have quite low uptime, but ultra cheap without IPv4. If you need lightweight and non critical server then I would recommend Kyun. 99.84% uptime but 1.4€ is great trade-off for me.
Have been using a VPS with them for many months. They have been some occasionnal outages. I really like their design and panel. The only real issue I have with this service is that (at least in their RO region), they do not own their servers, network or IPS. This mean that they are at the mercy of their (documented) unreliable provider (ihostart). I will still use them but I do back-up my data often because of that.
cool service. I’ve been using it for half a year. Everything is super and registration is good and there is TOP and mail or matrix can be linked. And you can choose the service characteristics yourself. But one problem. uptime. It’s very sad that once a month or two weeks the servers go down for 1-5 hours. (I only use Romanian ones. I don’t know about American ones) But I recommend it to everyone. They are developing and I hope they will fix the problem.
Thanks for the review. As a newer service, we do face challenges such as downtime caused by attacks, etc, which we work hard to prevent. We were able to mitigate the most recent attacks and have implemented measures to prevent them. So in the future, most downtime should be short, if at all.
