This provides you the ability to make your website also reachable by <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IPv4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IPv4</a> even your box is only running on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IPv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IPv6</a>. This feature can be managed from your self-service portal and simply requires you to add a DNS name that should be balanced and to point the DNS A record to a given IPv4.Making the legacy internet life easier, we hope for a higher <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a> adaption where people might be more motivated to try <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> or even <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opensolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensolaris</a> with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a>.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#runbsd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/free" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#free</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/service" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#service</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/saas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#saas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#community</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/vps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vps</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/vserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vserver</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#server</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/vm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vm</a>

gyptazy2025 is starting great - and I took all opportunities!Like probably all personal playgrounds, I started small with many technically working but not ideal solutions. Ignoring several RFC's, standards etc,.This also applies to my <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@BoxyBSD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@BoxyBSD</a> project that provides free VPS (<a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a> focussed, such like <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> but also <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/opensolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensolaris</a> etc.,) boxes for the <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> community and beginners to provide them a place for learning and education.I decreased (yeah decreased) the amount of overall systems. Instead, we now have bigger sized systems which makes the overall management easier and also improved the whole networking stack. Also some other benefits came along with this ;) I'm really happy to see what 2025 brings up - and there're several great things to be announced soon :)<a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/RUNBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RUNBSD</a>

gyptazyI just launched the new <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@BoxyBSD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@BoxyBSD</a> self-service portal where you can finally manage your BSD based box instances on your own - and I really love this minimalistic and terminal alike design.The installer currently supports <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/DragonflyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DragonflyBSD</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/MidnightBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MidnightBSD</a> and also <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/Illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Illumos</a> (<a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/OpenSolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSolaris</a>).
