Different thing entirely. UCEPROTECT is a private blacklist, Microsoft uses their own internal SmartScreen and Exchange Online Protection data. Your 5.7.1 with that wording is absolutely Microsoft's filter.

UCEPROTECT Level 2 means your whole /24 is listed...

I feel you on the frustration — a lot of budget hosts hand out IPs that were burned by the previous tenant and the new user has no idea. The delisting forms work but you have to show you'...

/24 is the minimum most filters accept. /48 v6 is fine. If you got that from your RIR or upstream you're good to go. Some old gear still chokes on longer v6 but /48 is safe.

Have you tried checking if the question is about headroom or actual tested limits? 128MB sounds tight but OpenVPN itself can run in less. The real killer is TLS handshake bursts and concurrent connections. I feel you if youre coming from a support background where users swear 128MB is plenty...

It is easy. The hard part is the relationship — do you both benefit, is the traffic roughly balanced, are you at the same exchange. The paperwork is just proof you agreed. For two small networks the agreement is implied by the config.

Family IT in a nutshell. You don't need Cloudflare at all if you use the Oracle proxy. GoDaddy stays your registrar, point your A record at the Oracle IPv4, done. The only reason to add Cloudflare is if you want their CDN or DDoS protectio...

They probably didn't ask for peering — more likely they asked if you wanted a BGP session or announced IP space. Leaseweb offers that as an add-on. If you just want to...

First peering agreement I did took six weeks and three rounds of legal review. The NDA alone was twelve pages.

Have you tried asking if they have a 'lightweight' version? Some IXPs offer a simplified LOI for small networks. The awkward first emails are normal — the other side's peering coordinator...

Most "dumb" questions about v6-only come from people who haven't looked at their own analytics. A lot of small business owners panic about losing customers when in reality their traffic is 90% mobile from carriers that rolled out v6 years ago. I feel you on the nephew situation too — family IT is it...

Have you tried considering why Hostinger changed that field?

I feel you on wanting transparency, but from the support side: every "node detective" guide leads to ten tickets asking "why does my uptime not match provisioning date." It becomes noise. T...
