Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!

You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!

People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.

Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!

BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.

You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.

This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!

This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!

Bonjour! #RUNBSD in Paris, FR!

We just opened our second location in France. Paris comes now in addition to Roubaix in France which has been added by @gyptazy. More BSD, more locations, more fun with #FreeBSD,
#OpenBSD, #NetBSD,#SmolBSD and many other ones - happy learning and testing!

#opensource #FreeVPS #VPS #VPSHosting #Box #BoxyBSD

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!

* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!

* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy

* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.

* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)

This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!

While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD (or even #smolbsd) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.

We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.

During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

Did you notice? The registration was temporary open today and we welcome all new users! 🥳

While we still have a plenty of free resources, we might switch from an open registration model to a recommendation / mentor model where already present users can invite new users.

This is not yet fix but a possibility to avoid misusage and abuse where our primary goal is still to provide resources for people interested into BSD based systems. Maybe also closer integrations with BSD communities like the BSD Cafe (@stefano) could be an approach.

What are you missing at @BoxyBSD?

Let me know what miss, what you need and how I can improve the service to make it easier and better for you!

When your free service (@BoxyBSD) kicks you out of bed on a Saturday morning.

The monitoring just alerted me about a potential abuse at my free hosting project and indeed - much traffic from a single user but luckily legit traffic.

Better safe than sorry.

⚠️ Signups are currently deactivated!

We're now slightly below 1000 free VPS instances!

Within the last few weeks, coming with new locations around the world, we got more and more signups, where people can also test their setups across different geo locations @BoxyBSD.

Unfortunately, this also increases the required support which is really time consuming and only handled by @gyptazy. While everything is fully automated, support is another thing and I need a short break. Hope to open the signups quickly again.

PS: This project is completely free, not even any donation possibilities etc - just imagine a box would only cost 1$.

⚠️ Resources got restocked:

- Two new nodes in Netherlands
- One new node in Ukraine
- Extended resources on nodes in Germany

@gyptazy is now improving the self-service portal and then we can go straight to the 1k free boxes :) We're currently hosting ~ 600 free VPS instances.

Tomorrow the #opensource #FOSDEM #conference starts in #Brussels, #Belgium!

Let’s see if we can attract more people to #BSD based systems by providing free #vps running #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #illumos as an #opensolaris solution.

@gyptazy will be onsite to provide you more information or even stickers ;)

BoxyBSD is taking a break!

As announced, the new platform starts in December and therefore all new & free VPS provisioning are on hold. Mark your calendars and be ready in December!

Note: All #arm64 boxes are already out of stock. #AMD64 only. For more information see also our Matrix chat or @gyptazy
