At least it was a good incentive for me to fix my dyndns setup and port forwards. Receiving mails again :).

I only have a public IP (non-CGNAT) on my limited 4G connection (throttled to 32 Kb/s, 1GB/month, 0€ prepaid plan), but it's more than sufficient for fidonet. The regular data plans of the provider are way too expensive and I use another provider for everything else. VDSL, landline ISP are still 3 Mbit/s max, so I prefer mobile connectivity, because I don't want to pay for a shitty connectivity (man, it's 2023). Fortunately you can get 4G/LTE with "unlimited" traffic (or at least 1TB/month) for 30€ a month. And it's fast (but CGNAT and I haven't figured out how to get IPv6 working).

I used to run a binkd server on my VPS, but I prefer the old-school way to run everything on your own hardware at home. Even if it is a bit more unreliable now and then.

any news?
