I apologize for the outage, none of us seemed to notice the frontend was down due to some SSL issues. Far as I can tell, however, the backend stayed running and everyone should start getting email syncs today. I know myself, I had around 230’ish messages sitting across the inboxes I monitor….hopefully y’all don’t have as much waiting on you.

Post dealing with changes to how we route packets and configure our network.
Our request for a /44 from the LIR that we use for our IPv6 allocations was approved, meaning that we are going to spending the next week off and on working on moving all of our gear into our new ranges across both of our physical servers. Some services may go down during this time, but we will be doing our best to be quick with this.
The goal is to get all our gear into our ranges and to be able to let go of the data center provided /48 going forward. Currently the majority of the new /44 is routed to our primary server with the bottom most /46 being routed to our secondary. We also got control of our PTR zones, so that will also be setup soon.
MFN/FurrIX is currently going under a rebuild that is going to take a few days to complete. We have cut our routers down from six to three, chopped off a bunch of services that no longer had a maintainer and are reworking the way the network is setup.
This is a complete rebuild of the project and as such, it may be rocky for a little bit until we get the basics back up and running.
What has been done:
- OS reinstalled on physical server
- Core routers setup and functional
- NS1 restored to operational state
- Web services brought back online
- Mail service has been restored
What needs to be done:
- Game servers need to be setup
- Wireguard profiles need to be reissued
- PTR zones need to be fixed
This project isn’t dead just yet, I just have had way too much going on in my life to stay on top of things. Over the next few days I should have some down time and will be slowly updating routers, VMs and so on to keep us operational. You’ll notice that things like the network graphs are working once again.
