Constructive review
I would like to leave a review, for enough time using the service in my opinion (5 months). I'm used only dedicated server at AuroLogic, review based on it.
I will start with the disadvantages that were there at the beginning, which were solved and which are there now.
When working with AuroLogic, I waited 15+ days for help in configuring the server (namely their subnets), because the system incorrectly configured the subnet itself and it simply did not work.
Also there were some misunderstandings in terms of DDoS protection, which very much throws away normal traffic.
What I described above was solved and I was compensated, which I was pleasantly surprised about.
Let's move on to the cons that are now:
- Extremely slow technical support, this is observed all the time and not the first month of working with AuroLogic, the situation in my opinion has not changed in any way. You can wait for a week for an answer, which will not solve the problem, and wait another week to solve the problem itself!
- Strange work of DDoS protection, unlike the service from which I moved to AuroLogic I noticed that their protection during DDoS attack kills legitimate traffic, perhaps it is because my players are from CIS countries, not Europe, I do not know. -> I wrote to them about this, they said to create Flexrule and it helped, but the last days during attacks I notice my players get kicked out, maybe the raitlimit of 250000 is not enough and the mitigation on the port is turned on. Since I see that my server is able to filter traffic, but Aurologic kills all legit players, although the attack could not do that, because we also filter on our side on our RouterOS sideRouterOS. And the port in 10Gbit(our server) is enough for filtering, but I repeat, it mitigation 250k raitlimit is not enough, as DDoS attack inbound can be completely cleared by us, but the server goes down due to Aurologic mitigation? - I would suggest selecting cleanup scenarios at the ip address level for example: Mild, Medium, High and None.
- Occasional problems, unfortunately they do exist, you can see this on the status page.
What I can't categorize as pros or cons:
- Control Panel functionality. The average user will not understand anything in your Firewall, you simply do not have any documentation about the principles of the network, not about the configuration of the Firewall and its logic. You need it, you need it! You position yourself as a service with a flexible firewall but without any documentation?
Pros:
- Beautiful interface, it really looks fresh and nice.
- Beutiful UI x2 - monitoring of dedicated server like voltage and temps awesome.
- Payment with cryptocurrencies, although I have not used it, but as for me it is good. I would be happy to see Binance Pay or accept USDT
- Good choice of server configurations, so far you won't find such servers with such network speed for such cost anywhere. But again, there is a disadvantage here (Aurologic mitigation) which just doesn't allow to realize the whole network channel.
- Very low ping for Europe, it surprised me, the ping is lower than in large and popular data centers.
- Potential in Firewall and so on
- Overall potential
I would like to summarize, and to clarify for those who are reading this - THIS REVIEW WILL BE CHANGED IF THE PROBLEMS ARE FIXED, I live in the present, and I want to see Aurologic flourish. I would like to address the aurologic team, or rather personally describe a big problem for me that I wrote here - it's mitigation, in my region it works extremely lousy, and I would love to see scenarios of how it works up to disabling certain filters (TCP). The 250k is either missing or something is broken. in a ticket I'm still waiting for a reply.
At the moment the real rating of the service is 3/5, but I will give it 4/5 with the hope that they will solve my main problem, if not - I will change the rating to what I wrote earlier, and also change the rating to 5/5 if all the problems will be solved.
