Amazon Prime Video Contact?

2020-10-22 Thread Ryan Gard
Hello,

I'm looking to catch someone off list who could look into some issues we're
noticing since yesterday evening with some of our residential IP blocks
being marked as a VPN or Proxying service.

Unfortunately, our old contact for this may no longer be with the company.

Alternatively, if anybody has dealt with this more recently and has had
success in resolving this issue quickly, I'm all ears!

Regards,

Twitter (AS13414) Peering Contact

2018-12-17 Thread Ryan Gard
Afternoon,

If there's anybody on the list from Twitter AS13414, if they could contact
me off list? Further, if you have contact info outside of the standard
peering email, that would be fantastic.

We've made a few attempts over the last year give or take to reach out, and
unfortunately we've seen nothing but silence in response.

Thanks!

Hey,

Can someone reach out to me off list in regards to Google Scholar? Been
dealing with an issue in which a recently acquired IP block appears to have
been blacklisted in the past and is impacting end users.

Re: Leasing /22

2018-01-23 Thread Ryan Gard
The biggest problems that start to run with cases of CGN or any other v4
aggregation method are services that still continue to treat single IP
addresses as a single entity (a certain event ticket vendor comes to mind).
Until these organizations either start opening a line of communications
with ISPs, changing their methodology when handling traffic from v4
addresses, and/or deploying v6, the song and dance for v4 addressing will
continue.

Ticketmaster?

2017-12-02 Thread Ryan Gard
Can somebody from ticketmaster contact me off list?

These arbitrary blocks are getting ridiculous, and we continue to field a
large number of customer complaints from this. Also not impressed with
front end customer support continuing to lay blame at the service
provider's feet and spread misinformation to end users so they walk away
washing their hands for a situation created by ticketmaster (*Oh, you must
be sharing your IP with everyone else in your area*)

Secondly, if anybody's had luck actually waking somebody up with some sort
of sway or pull at ticketmaster, shoot me a line off list if you could. I'd
be eternally grateful. Thanks!

Private Link between TOR and CHI

2017-10-11 Thread Ryan Gard
Trying to source some cost effective solutions or vendors that could
provide connectivity in this scenario. Essentially I'll be looking to
expand presence into Chicago, and as such, will need to source a third
party to provide connectivity from 151 Front Street in Toronto to 350
Cermak in Chicago. Specifically, we're looking to build a presence in
Chicago to pursue peering agreements with other providers at 350 Cermak.

If you're aware of any providers that would be able to provide this
connectivity, that would be perfect.

Thanks!

Re: Netflix NOC? VPN Mismarked?

To offer some closure on this, after digging up the NOC contact and sending

Ticketmaster Blocking IPs?

2016-02-25 Thread Ryan Gard
Hello folks,

I'm grasping a bit at straws here, and really hope maybe somebody has some
knowledge that may assist in getting an answer where we've been met with
silence.

We're a small isp who unfortunately is dealing with our entire range of IP
blocks being restricted on what appears to be a permanent basis from
TicketMaster's services. We've attempted all avenues available to reach out
to them, between their NOC contact and their... client support contacts...
to no avail. Unfortunately, the ones caught out in the cold at this point
have been the end users who as a result cannot utilize Ticketmaster...

I'm hoping someone can offer some insight if they've been down this path
before, or further, if you're from Ticketmaster, contact me off list to
trade coordinates so we can resolve this quickly.

Thanks!

Re: FTTH and DSLAM Access Vendors

I would definitely find any information on this quite useful. I've had
clients try to make this very comparison in the past, and it can become
quite tedious when dealing with sales staff from 6 different companies who
want to sell you something, while not explaining further as to why their
platform is better than 'xyz'

 Alcatel-Lucent 7360 ISAM

 Cisco ME4600
 Huawei MA5600T

 They all look great on paper, but there has to be some key differences

Re: ADVANCE WARNING: Google moving to 2048-bit SSL and root keys

2013-05-25 Thread Ryan Gard
From what it looks like, I'd assume they'll be sticking with a CA that has
a 2048 bit certificate as well.

Seems they also put a sandbox for testing together. That being said, they
won't confirm or deny whether or not they'll be using the same CA as they
have in the sandbox...

  As for migration to another OS, I find FreeBSD better as a matter of
  network performance. The last time I checked OpenBSD was either
  lacking or was in the early stages of multiple cores support.
 
 
  If you do decide to go the FreeBSD route (you can run openbgpd on FreeBSD
  if you like), check out the POLLING option on ethernet NICs, it cuts down
  on the number of interrupts and can increase performance, particularly
 when
  dealing with smaller packets.
 

 Polling on FreeBSD in modern NICs is discouraged.
