Several ideas on how to block the Linode VPS host IP and change the IP

Snail last week saw a comment from a netizen mentioning that his IP was blocked when he opened a Linode VPS host, and this problem occurred on thirty machines in a row. This netizen's luck is also quite gratifying. Snail has encountered about 10 machine IPs that were blocked continuously before. According to the characteristics of the Linode VPS host, we can repeatedly delete and activate new machines until we find an available IP address.

In this article, Snail shares a few questions about how we can solve and change IP addresses when using Linode. At least we won’t see this netizen mention writing a work order for customer service to change it. Users are required to provide various procedures. Generally merchants will not change IP for users, we can solve it ourselves.

First, activate repeatedly until suitable

For merchants like Linode VPS who can delete and activate servers at any time, we may encounter that the server IP they activated is blocked from the beginning. Our solution is to delete it and activate it again. The general approach of Snail is to open a few machines first, then see if any are usable, and then delete the unusable ones and leave the usable ones.

Based on recent feedback received and my own testing, Japan’s JP2 and Fremont data centers have relatively unreachable IPs. In fact, sometimes it depends on luck, and there may indeed be several or more than a dozen consecutive machines with unreachable IPs. .

Second, change the data center

I have used this method in the early days, and may have mentioned it in previous articles. For example, we are currently in the Fremont computer room, and we have data and websites there. After using it for a period of time, the IP was blocked. If we back up the server and migrate the data, it is indeed inefficient. The method we use is to write a work order to apply to move the computer room to another computer room, such as Dallas. Customer service will usually give instructions and we will cooperate with the operation.

After migrating to another computer room in this way, the data will still be there, but the IP address will become the IP of the new computer room. In the same way, if we determine that we need a Fremont computer room, we can submit a work order to apply for migration after a period of time. This way, there is a probability that we will apply for a new and usable IP address. However, since this method has not been used for a long time, if we need to use it, it is recommended to back up the data before operating.

Third, migrate and retain IP by yourself

The above method is to ask customer service to move our computer room. Since the response speed of Linde customer service today is not as fast as in the past, we need to wait for them to reply to the work order and operate, which will take a long time. In fact, we can migrate data to other VPS through Linode cloning and IP Swap. For example, we open a new available VPS and then clone the data there.

Similarly, we can also use this method to retain the original IP. If the IP is blocked, we do not need to migrate the IP address. The practice of this method will be sorted out in detail later.

In summary, from this netizen’s message, we can see that his request to change the IP address was rejected by customer service. The customer service repeatedly emphasized that he should change it by himself, which should be achieved through the above method.
