BolehVPN News/Status/Fun

We are noticing a good deal of users in West Malaysia experiencing speed degradations. East Malaysia does not seem to be as affected.

Image was taken from Icrontic. We are selling the FSP Ion Bank which is reviewed here.

Basically what this does is give you a battery pack to give your phone that extra boost of juice for those times when you simply don’t have access to a power source and need to keep your device rolling. The review showed that it gave the Sony PSP an additional 8 hours of play time. It also works on those battery hungry IPhones and IPods. It claims to give more than 10 hours of additional battery time to the IPhone which includes talk time but I frankly don’t have an IPhone to test it out on so I am unable to substantiate this claim.

Perhaps the best thing about this product is its price which we are selling at RM150.00 + RM10.00 shipping to W. Malaysia and RM15.00 to E.Malaysia.

It should work for any device that can be powered by a USB port as well. You can take a look at the connectors here. It takes about 3 hours to charge the Ion to full.

Definitely getting one for myself!

As usual bank details are the same as BolehVPN except send the proof of payment to reuben@bolehvpn.net .

Thank you!

The difference between the OEM and Retail version is basically that OEM is only to be used for new systems and once you have installed it in that system, you cannot port it to another computer.

Received my cheque for the connected equipment warranty totaling RM1070.00 for my damaged motherboard and NIC on the 19 October 09. Process is quite painless as long as your estimated price of your damaged items is reasonable and based on current market value. Expect to wait 1-2 months for your cheque to arrive from the date of claim. For the background story and the claim process, please refer to my earlier post.Thanks to AV Future Link for the prompt action and keeping me posted.

The migration to a better datacentre for our website (not our VPN servers)  that was scheduled on Monday has been rescheduled to today about 6 pm GMT +8

As such, some posts may be lost during the migration process and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Update: Migration has been completed.

There is a reported issue throughout Streamyx with them blaming it on the impact of the Conficker worm yet again.

Sigh…

There have been some users who wish to have greater security. As such we are testing BlowFish encryption on our BolehRoute servers to see how it handles it.

Please note that this does NOT improve P2P speeds (in fact it might take a slight hit)  in anyway but may be more suitable for those who are security conscious.

You will need to update your BolehRoute configurations.

In order to provide better reliability for our website especially to international customers, we are moving our website to the AIMS datacenter.

Migration will happen on Monday 19 October 2009.

During this time, you may have difficulties accessing us while the DNS propagates. You can always reach us at bolehbit@gmail.com.

Many thanks for your understanding and apologies for the inconvenience.

Also special thanks to IPServerone for allowing us to move without any additional charges and who has always been prompt and helpful. Should you require Malaysian website hosting, we highly recommend them.

I will be away for a short break this weekend. Account generation will still be handled by Gilbert and support queries will still be handled by Wolffeh. Pit Boss will still be around and I will be checking in from time to time.

Just don’t PM/call me or Feel my Wrath!
