Current machines have 1 Gbps adapters in them. The next generation of hardware may start including 10 Gbps adapters widely, and we'll run those then, if so.
Since we use local storage and don't need to migrate customers between machines very often, we don't require the large amount of network capacity to each machine that many VPS hosts do. We just need to be concerned with what customers themselves need, and we haven't been seeing customers hitting the 1 Gbps limit. (Though local storage can be more expensive than a monolithic networked array, it is faster, lower-latency, and avoids concern about network problems.)
- Do you keep logs such as usage(sites visited)/Time Stamp (start/end of VPN session + duration)/IP addresses, as I am running a vpn server?
Unmanaged VDSes are essentially black boxes to us. We don't know what customers are running on them and we do not record or attempt to deconstruct application-layer activity. The only logs that we keep are router traffic samples (typically a random 2% of all traffic) for the purposes of identifying (D)DoS attacks, and those are automatically deleted after 48 hours.
- What/are there DNS servers I could use to replace my ISPs on my router or via local network adapter when streaming netflix/game for example?
We recommend using Google's servers, which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. These are what our services come configured with by default. You could also consider using OpenDNS, Level(3)'s servers, or Internap's servers.
- Part of the dns question, when connecting to the vpn on your network does it automatically connect to your dns servers? Or is that a setting?
Our own DNS servers are only used to serve domains that we host here and aren't open as general-purpose recursive services, so no VPN service on our network will be using them.
