captaindoe··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2019)
OVPN.com | C++ engineer | Sweden, Remote | Full-time | https://www.ovpn.com

We're a privacy & security focused VPN provider that wants people to be able to enjoy the internet without being tracked, analyzed and monitored. To achieve that, we've implemented a multi-layered security model where the first layer is that we own & operate all our VPN servers without hard drives.

Another crucial layer to ensuring our users security, is our cross-platform VPN client. It's the main way users interact with our service and it runs on Windows, macOS & Linux. We're looking for a C++ / Qt developer with networking knowledge to assist our current C++ developer with improving our desktop client - and have an extra focus on Windows.

We're offering you a challenging and meaningful position in a small startup while also believing in life outside of work. Flexible working hours, from wherever you do the best work, while also having 25 days of annual paid vacation.

If we sound like a match, email david@ovpn.com with your current resume, links to apps or code you are most proud of.

Unfortunately not. We do not have a custom app for iOS or Android.

We are launching three servers in a new country next week, Norway. After that it will take a couple of months before we're ready to expand further. It's time consuming to do research regarding datacenters, find ISPs with satisfactory peering and to ensure that our physical security requirements are met.

Even though it will take some time for the next location to be added, feel free to email us with your suggestion.

Founder of OVPN.com here. I’m happy to answer any questions regarding our infrastructure, policies or tech stack.
captaindoe··on Show HN: VPN service without hard drives
The NFS is read-only, and encrypted. The connection to the NFS server is terminated directly after the image has been transfered and unpacked into the RAM memory.

That was indeed the root cause of the problem. I hadn't expected the volume of visitors HN sent, and unfortunately I wasn't prepared for it.

Apache hit the memory limits constantly, and in the end I had change to nginx. The service has been working fine for a couple of hours, so if you're still interested you can try it out.

Apologies for not being prepared.
