Re: vps

[DC <newswiki@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks for the replies, that's totally true it's certain that they
will give me that "bait and switch" treatment. the reason im getting
that cheap vps is some sort of a learning environment. im totally
starting from scratch here, knowing nothing from vps to unix. so im
not losing that much with a cheap vps if every thing goes down every
now and then.
but as soon as i successfully install and run exit node and specially
how to secure those datas/logs out from the reach of everyone then i
will move immediately to a more expensive vps.
hoping while im still learning somehow someone have the patience to guide me.
