Accounting has been finished up for the month. This post will share the details of our network usage broken down by day and which part of our projects used the network. This report does not show individual member, guest or end user usages. Only combined network usages are shown here.

Physical Network Interface:
Traffic for the physical interface shows a combined view of all project traffic, including nightly backs; games; member, guest and end user traffic and internal traffic.

Hosted Services:
Traffic for hosted services includes things such as DayZ, Minecraft and FiveM.

Name Servers:
Name server traffic includes DNS traffic that is dropped at the interface and not processed.

As mentioned in our last post, VM and VPS hosting was on the chopping block due to resources getting tighter on our physical hosts. As of today, Marbled Fennec Networks no longer offers the hosting of Virtual Machines or Virtual Private Servers for our project members or guest. We have been just barely squeaking by on disk space and have decided that for the longevity of both MFN and FurrIX, this is a service that has been cut.

Project members and guest who currently have VM or VPS service with us will continue to see their instances serviced; we won’t be accepting any new applications for this type of service and members or guest who let their service registration lapse will not be able to regain hosted services with us. We know this is not what our members and guest want to hear, but we have to keep our servers and routers operational above everything else.

Our team voted to decommission our old website. So as of today, it is no longer reachable on our web server.

We also have been working to add server stats to our website and that seems to have went well and is live as of this post.

Also, various policies were updated to reflect us partnering with FurrIX. Give things a quick read over when you have time, project members. The biggest change is probably that we are going to no longer be offering in house VM hosting, as we just don’t have the resources to continue with that service offering. None of our other services are affected.
