Deutsche Telekom are now default blocking email from ALL non-allowlisted IPs at the IP level. Which means that @BitFolk's mail server for the main domain, our mailing lists and our support system can't communicate with anyone a t-online address (amongst others).
ALT Connection refused by t-online.de mail server from BitFolk's main outbound mail relay, showing an IP-level block.

New Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) scan on port 3478/udp, reveals around 101k IPv4 and 2.9K IPv6 accessible services daily. These can be abused for reflection/amplification DDoS attacks (IPv4 amp factor around 4, IPv6 amp factor around 6). Most in US and Germany.

Worrying numbers of customer VMs failed to boot this week because they're 32-bit PV mode and were upgraded to kernels that no longer support that. If you're still on 32-bit, read this!

Your quick fix is to switch to PVH mode, but we've been saying since 2015 that you need to move to amd64. You need to switch to amd64 😀
We can offer you a free VM for two weeks to switch over: tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Migra…
