Please folllow Asciinema Privacy Policy for more details.</p> Further transparency Hosting <p>All services provided on <code>rtrace.io</code> and <code>*.rtrace.io</code> are hosted on Virtual Private Servers (VPS) at Netcup (subsidiary company of Anexia GmbH).
Servers are located in Nuremberg, 🇩🇪 Germany.
Servers are running the latest version of Fedora Server and are patched ~2 times a week (on average).
Disks are LUKS encrypted and require LUKS password on boot.
All services provided are served through <code>nginx</code> acting as reverse-proxy/load-balancer.
<code>nginx</code> also terminates TLS (HTTPS).
Upstream-Servers behind the reverse-proxy are interconnected through Wireguard for secure communication - so none of your traffic (even if previously TLS-terminated) will ever be transferred over the network in plain-text.
TLS Certificates are provided by Let’s Encrypt.
TLS configuration explicitly only allows <code>TLSv1.3</code> with the strongest available cipher-suites.
HTTP Security Headers are applied where possible and useful.</p> Personal Commitment <p>I personally hate it to be tracked online, and that’s why I won’t track you either (and try my best to prevent third parties from spying on you too).
It’s that easy and that’s my promise.
I want all services provided at <code>rtrace.io</code> and all of its subdomains to be as privacy-friendly as possible.
If you have any additions, constructive feedback, hints to improve or wishes - feel free to contact me at any time.
As it is with security - at the end of the day everything boils down to <code>trust</code>.
It’s very hard to trust service-providers and that effectively boils down to the fact that you can’t and shouldn’t trust me - zero-trust is the best trust after all).</p>
<p>Nonetheless, if you want to verify that the things I’ve written here are true, please get in touch with me.
We can arrange a Jitsi call, and I’ll happily show you how things are hosted and configured here at <code>rtrace.io</code> - come on, let’s go for a SSH safari.</p>
