The server that I run in the Netherlands, Mosha, is still down. I decided to redirect traffic to that website to this blog, so that at least people visiting there know what is going on. For some reason Mosha lost all network connectivity, both to the router as well as to the local subnet. Unfortunately it does not have a monitor or keyboard, so looking into the problem is hard, also because I'm in the United States of America and I have to investigate the problem through a friend. The time zone does not make things easier either.
My apologies for all the people that visit my website. Hopefully we can bring the server back up as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear that it is down. I look forward to it being up again. Is there any chance that you'll be making it work for people who have dynamic IP addresses like I do on my current job?
Once the server is back up I'm planning to restrict destinations only, and not sources. This means I will make the number of possible destinations much smaller, but you would be able to connect to them from any location, thereby allowing dynamic IP addresses.
That's an interesting fix. I like it. How will you determine what destinations to allow however?
Sadly, the motherboard of the server is completely fried. I was unable to determine what happened, and it is a bit upsetting for a system that was less than five years old. Getting a new server might take longer. I did rescue the hard drive, and have it with me, so I will collect all the data (my backup was 2 years old) and hopefully able to restart it soon.
