I’ve never tried Vultr’s own baked images so I can’t comment on them. However, I’ve never had any problems maintaining my methodology in which both new installs as well as upgrades can be completed in a few minutes. > 2. Is vultr a good place to host an openbsd box?

Uptime can sometimes be unreliable (I run hosts from Vultr’s European locations only, mostly Amsterdam and Frankfurt), network “maintenance” being quite frequent. However, given that I am not using Vultr for critical services, I’m prepared to accept this minor irritation when weighed against cost. For important hosts that I rely upon for mail, OpenVPN, DNS, etc., I use Exoscale and find the slightly higher costs well worth it. Kindly, -Merv

So then you'll know of two other OpenBSD users in Ireland :) Had a poke around on the net for other OpenBSD users in Ireland myself and drew a blank, except for http://ie.bsd.net which doesn't seem to have seen much activity in a while.

I am currently marinating my senses in IDT/MIPS documentation and have just a few tentative sketches to-date. Like most, I am rather severely limited in the amount of time I can spare and may not be able to offer more than 10 hours per week for certain periods. Nevertheless, I will persevere and would be delighted to collaborate and liase with anyone who has a similar interest in seeing OBSD on the Routerboard family. -- Merv

I recommend Wim's range of Soekris net4xxx boards and accessories at http://kd85.com/soekris.html. I use them for a variety of tasks in modest SOHO as well as quite complex larger rigs. All of them run OpenBSD 4.0. For destinations within EU member states, Wim offers next day delivery via UPS for just 30 Euros extra. /merv.
