As I remember, it’s only free for one year. After that you’re paying ~$30/month for the server time. A slightly cheaper selection of solutions I have used: • Rackspace Cloud • Tektonic (crappy slow Virtuozzo - not suggested) • prgmr (hosted with them for a while, cheap, I know the guy, etc. Fun group in IRC, too). • Digital Ocean (currently with them; fast SSD-backed servers, too!) > On Sat, Dec 28, 2013 at 3:33 PM, ping song <[email protected]> wrote: >> I thought there should be a lot of them, but surprisingly I can't get a REAL >> valid one after some google research... Frankly, a free SSH server scares me. Offering shell access opens you up to a lot of abuse potential, as both a provider and a user. As I suspect some of what you’re looking for is a way to proxy outside of a more restrictive firewall, you could also use a straight HTTP proxy and the Corkscrew utility to skirt about the firewall as well. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
