To prevent spam and abuse, direct outbound SMTP (port 25) is blocked on our network from all r64 ips. Authenticated mail submission to all major email providers and relay services is fully supported now — simply use your provider's submission server on port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS); relay/ESP services may also use 2525.

Now reachable:

Mailbox providers: Gmail, Outlook / Microsoft 365, Yahoo, Apple iCloud, QQ, NetEase (163/126), Mail.ru, Yandex, Naver, GMX, web.de, T-Online
Relay / ESP services: Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, SparkPost, Mailjet, Brevo, SMTP2GO, Elastic Email, Mandrill

Looks like some issues on r1-ams-nl. The ip transit from ifog is down and die ip as well as the gw is not reachable from internal or external. Any other sessions over different transit or ixp is not affect, Just the tunnel endpoint ip provided by ifog. Ticket has been dropped.

Housekeeping was to aggressive and had an issue on some to detect the right state. Some tunnels has been deleted but the may had activity.

Housekeeping has been disabled for now to identify the root cause. Please recreate your tunnels/sessions.

Dallas node, sponsored by Lagless.GG, now aquired by Shift Hosting LLC will not continue the sponsoring. Node will be closed and terminated Thursday (06.08.) evening CEST. Unfortunately for the short notice and not caused by r64. Please migrate the tunnels to other nodes. Thanks to Lagless for the sponsored time.

r1-mci-us (mci1.us) is not reachable, also bmc is not longer working. Might be a hardware issue. Support has been requested.

Please move to r2-mci-us until issue is resolved.

Hello,

we have disabled the prefix collector. Thus accepted, reject and filtered prefix will not be visible in the manager portal. Prefix collector generates a lot load on the routers which can cause some issues. We'll look into some optimization to bring this later back.

I'm happy to announce that static ips are also available in North America region now. The manager has been updated as well to allow you to choose the region and afi for static ips. Static ips are only possible via sponsor tokens to cover the costs.

Next News: New PoP in Paris (par1) is now live!

  We’re super excited to announce that our network just got a major upgrade in France!

Thanks to the amazing support from our partners, we’ve activated a brand-new location (par1) in the City Nanterre (Paris region):

Colocation sponsored by → huge thanks to moji

IP Transit provided by → massive shoutout to MilkyWan

IXP connectivity & overall support → big props to nine-ix

The new point of presence runs on our own hardware and is connected directly to nine-ix with a solid 10G port. Route64 has also joined nine-ix with 10G – another step forward! With this addition we can now offer significantly better latency, higher redundancy, and much more capacity across France. Paris (and the surrounding region) is now much more reachable with top-tier performance.

A massive thank you goes out to: nine-ix – for the excellent IXP platform and all the help moji – for generously sponsoring the colocation MilkyWan – for the reliable and high-quality IP transit None of this would have been possible without you – you rock! We’re continuing to grow the network the way we love: together with friendly, competent, and like-minded partners. Got questions about the new PoP, routing, or want to give it a spin? Just reach out!

Maintenance: I plan to perform important software upgrades for stability on following routers one by one: ams1.nl, ams2.nl, mci1.us, mci2.us, fra2.de, fra3.de, yyz1.us, frm1.us ash1.us, arn1.se. I will start with ams1.nl (core ams) tomorrow (06.01.) in the evening (CET). Next following node will be announced shortly. I plan 2 hours for core nodes (software vendor change) and for edge nodes 1 hour (just software upgrade). After that ams1.nl and mci1.us will be also back in the game for tunnel, tunnelbroker, anycast tunnels and bgp sessions.

Bonjour France! Route64 reached the France country and expanded to additional Europe country. We have configured and activated a new pop in Paris, France (par1.fr). This was able with the help of DYJIX SAS (https://dyjix.eu/) which provides the server and ip transit for our community. Merci Dyjix!
