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.

Marbled Fennec Networks has partnered with Furrix to continue bringing our project members and end users a network they can experiment on and learn from. For most project members and end users, nothing will change for you and the network will keep functioning as usual.

As of Aug 12th, 2024:

• Marbled Fennec Networks will be the point of contact and will continue to operate as we always have. Connection activation, member and user support, network usage accounting, account servicing and finances will continue to be handled by the core group and face of the project. This team will most likely be comprised of two to four project members who carry the public facing brunt of the project.
• FurrIX, the operating subgroup for furrix.zone will be in control of the upkeep and maintenance for all of our routers, core services and provisioning. This team will most likely be comprised of three to four project members who’s responsibility is just to ensure that we can route data from A to B without problems.

Things to make note of:

• Marbled Fennec Networks is the point of contact for all account and support related inquiries. FurrIX does not have access to either our accounting or support systems.
