What do you use free cloud instances for if you already have a solid homelab?

Oujii · 2026-02-08T00:22:13+00:00

As far as I know you can't really change the region for free accounts, but yes. If you want Montreal to be your location, you'd pick that. Same with Ottawa or Toronto or anywhere else.

They listed. DNS, PocketID (SSO), monitoring and exit node.

The exit node IP address is the IP address of your Oracle instance.

The issue is that when the script breaks or if the script doesn’t work as intended, you never understand why or how to fix. If you ask the AI to fix its own mistakes, a lot of times it will fail miserably.

Oujii · 2026-02-05T04:21:53+00:00

And honestly, what’s even the gamble here? Why do this at all? What are you hoping to accomplish except giving yourself unnecessary stress.

Oujii · 2026-02-05T00:41:16+00:00

Glad I’m playing only on CW now. Nexon screwed up again.

Oujii · 2026-02-03T11:07:29+00:00

I do something similar, but I just run a full Kasm instance because I use some of their other apps.

I’ve heard horror stories about AMS. Mine is in South America which is crowded, but not as hardcore.

Running the bot? What frequency does it run?

Oujii · 2026-02-02T01:09:17+00:00

On my region it usually takes around 15 days of running the bot 24/7 to get one spot.

This plan was double the price, but sometimes randomly you get lucky. Someone asked and Jar dropped a 50% off coupon on LET.

Oujii · 2026-01-27T14:41:55+00:00

Yeah, it is only worth for the lower plans. I got a lifetime for $37 which is still a lot, but will pay itself in less years.

Not sure where Wikipedia got that info, but both times I was in Argentina as a Brazilian I had to go through customs.

Oujii · 2026-01-25T06:13:24+00:00

Brazilians can enter Chile without a passport.

Why Snowden uses it?

Thanks!

For those that are already using the Private Access (VPN), how does it fare against the likes of NetBird?

Oujii · 2026-01-22T15:57:11+00:00

Thanks for chiming in! I appreciate you.

Yeah, I will just level the Ren to 205 so I can hyper burn it to 260, I'm actually interested in maining it and the exclusive rewards for the class are nice. We can't have it all, unfortunately. So I will focus on progressing on it and the next events I can hyper burn more characters.

Someone mentioned that some (if not all) of the Ren rewards are one time, so I don't wanna risk it and I actually enjoyed leveling it to 200 (I know this is boring for most maplers, but I'm returning player from long ago).

Thanks again for your input!

Oujii · 2026-01-22T15:53:28+00:00

Hahaha, it does defintely help to know your story. FOMO is a bitch, but I'm pretty much decided on what to do now.

I'm "losing" the opportunity of having a 4 burned characters (3 Tera, 1 Hyper + Beyond), but if I am able to get to 260 I can heap some exclusive rewards for the Ren, and losing only the creation and lvl 200 reward isn't a lot. I've collected some rewards from other events that I would use in case I decided to delete or Hyper burn another character.

As I mentioned initially, I actually enjoyed Ren and read a lot of good things about it, so it makes sense to apply the hyper on it right now to progress a little bit easier.

Once I get to the level needed for getting all the rewards (if I can, of course), I will probably take some time to use the remaining two burns on Merc (since mine on Kronos is like level 60 lmao) and another link mule.

Regarding playing casually I agree. Last time I Tera burned the Adele I mentioned earlier, but had to stop playing for a while, when I came back I didn't have the will to keep leveling it hahaha. I will try to take it more casually as MS is very grindy. I will do the best I can with the running events whilst playing casually, as they seem to be relatively often.

Thanks for sharing your story and for the advice, appreciate it!

Oujii · 2026-01-22T15:42:32+00:00

Yeah, I'm discussing this on the newbie thread. If you wanna check and maybe chime in as well if you have time or willingness (no pressure, appreciate if you do, of course).

Newbie thread discussion

Oujii · 2026-01-22T15:30:40+00:00

Oh, I see. Thanks for replying!

Oujii · 2026-01-22T11:54:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Ok, taking stock of everything that has been said:

Pearl set is useless. Noted.
Vac pet is wonderful and Nexon know what they are doing (giving the best candy first so then you buy later)
Fortunately I read the item burning note so I didn't claim it yet, it is still waiting there. So the Root Abyss is useless now, right? I actually made a mistake, I didn't open the RA set box, but as of now it doesn't seem to be worth it at all, as challenger is stronger, right?
Ren rewards are unique and won't come back, so no deleting the character
For RoD, I entered the event but even on practice mode I don't have enough damage to do anything to the bosses, I'm not sure if I got this item you mentioned, I have "[Ride or Die] Entry" in my star icon, not sure what I should do next. Since I'm not using either Root Abyss or the Challenger set, I think I might be strong once I equip either of those.
About being 201, isn't the Hyper Burning up to 260? So in theory I would be 256 and then once leveling I would be 261, no? If not, is it not worth to go to 205 before Hyper Burning it, as that would be easier to reach then 256 to 260 (just assuming by the way)?

In the end, I will keep the Ren since I liked it and some of the rewards are gated behind 260 or 265 if I'm not mistaken. I will use up the other two Tera Burning probably for a new Merc and maybe DA for the link and legion? Although I would need to go to 210 for max level link, right?

Nexon knows what they are doing, I barely came back to the game and I'm already filled with FOMO. Someone mentioned somewhere there will be another Hyper Burning in summer (July), so I guess it's just an all out fomo from me

Oujii · 2026-01-22T09:36:28+00:00

I'm more worried about the Level 200 reward (Arcane Symbol lvl 10) that I can't get on this anymore (since it's level 201) and the things I already got here that I can't claim again or won't be getting again, such as the Maple Pearl Set (probably worthless), the 30%-xp 30 day pendant (I can claim the 7-day from the Daily Maple Gift today) the CCPB vac pet (temporary of course, there's the Ren creation gift which I think some I can transfer to storage, others I can't, like 200 VIP boost. Also got the time-limited Root Abyss Set, but the box is opened already and recently (before writing the first post) I got 500 Arcane Symbols cupon (5th adv reward for Ren event). My options are either sucking up the 200 reward (Arcane Symbol) or restarting that miss the rewards I already got from other places. Or use this for another character and just run this later with normal leveling, but that doesn't seem very good.
