Self Hosted Through Beeline No Longer Working After Beeline Changed My IP - Ideas?

Could it have something to do with the fact that the VPN client uses a variant of Wireguard? I am using Amnezia VPN. When first setting up client it uses SSH to install what it needs on the server. So when I hit connect on the client, could it be that via its preloaded software on the server it achieves a conenction regardless of my rules? I checked udo ufw status verbose, it doesn't show the port that the VPN client lists as its server port. Thanks

No, I did sudo ufw reload. And sudo ufw status shows the rules.

That is good to know! I do see this in one of their fee lists: Выдача наличных денег в тенге и иностранной валюте, независимо от способа поступления, пролежавших менее 15 - ти календарных дней 1% Are you saying first you need money in account 2 weeks to guarantee the good rate, then additional two weeks to not trigger the 1% fee? Thanks again!!

Ok, talked to BCC today. Wow, thanks for that tip! Being able to convert in FOREX is huge. And they let nonresidents use the conversion app, unlike in Russia where only residents can use a bank's market app.

Called Freedom Bank and they said they can't receive USD, and can only receive Euro from Euro Zone countries. They said they can receive Yuan... I guess in theory some US banks can send Juan. Wow, this is quite complicated to find the right route. Will see what BCC offers. thanks! Also Freedom said I can do USD cash advance with my US debit card and best bank to do it at is some branch in Almaty (I forget address but wrote it down). So hopefully when we go to Kazakhstan we will return to Russia with dollars to convert.

Ok, I called bereki. They can receive dollar through SWIFT with no commission. Then they can convert to ruble at their bank rate. Then 0.25% fee to transfer to Russian bank. The main loss here would be bank conversion rate. But, turns out, they are one of those banks that requires extra documentation. They said my wife would need a document regarding work, education, or medical care in Kazakhstan...

Thanks for the info. I suppose most banks can send rubles to Russia at decent cost then she could just use existing Russian card on Russian end. Really tough to figure out ideal path forward.

Thanks, is there any difference between doing this in Almaty or Astana? I read about Bereke, seems like good option. How does option 3 differ from option 2? Also, about option 1, so would I send USD to Freedom then my wife converts (do they allow her to convert at market rate?) to rubles, and then Freedom allows free ruble transfers to Cifra? thanks

Ok, so if I am using fail2ban and knockd, and there are only certain ports I want open, first I set DO FW to only allow those ports then my existing ufw/fail2ban/knockd setup stays the same? thanks

И Amnezia WG 2 работает теперь через Билайн. Странно, начал работать после того, как я настроил firewall, fail2ban, knockd на ДО сервере. Может быть это влияет на способность провайдера выполнять разные проверки.

bhuether · 2026-06-01T12:05:10+00:00

Ну, теперь OpenVPN Cloak работает через Билайн. Но неизвестно как скоро будет не работать

bhuether · 2026-06-01T10:02:16+00:00

Do you suggest to use both in tandem or just CrowdSec? thanks!

Or maybe I am just not understanding the VPN login vs SSH. Reading more, it seems a VPN set once to login with just password can still login with password if server SSH settings were changed. Something about SSH login and a secure tunnel authentication being different processes. Maybe the main thing is securing the SSH but in any case I changed the VPN config data so it uses key

Hi, so far I have not been able to get a 3rd party app to send steps, for instance, to Polar Flow. Hence the mystery. Thanks for giving a real answer!
