Our monitoring is now complete and all systems are stable. There are no known issues following the migration, and all traffic flows are operating normally.
All IP addresses have been successfully migrated.

Please note that firewall rules for services located in Germany may need to be recreated. IPs previously synced through CosmicGuard’s API were removed from the Firewall panel and have now been re-added using Dataforest’s API.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this maintenance.
A huge thank you to the FREAKHOSTING team and our partners for completing this migration successfully with minimal downtime.

If you experience any issues or have questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Date: Friday, 21 November 2025
Time: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM UTC+1 (Approx. 60–120 minutes)
Affected Services: All services hosted in Frankfurt, Germany

We will be conducting scheduled maintenance to upgrade our DDoS protection systems in the Frankfurt region. As part of this update, we will be transitioning from CosmicGuard to DataForest Zero-Lag protection for all services located in Frankfurt.

This change is necessary to permanently resolve ongoing issues experienced with CosmicGuard, including filter inconsistencies, routing problems, unexpected latency spikes, and other stability concerns. Our priority is to ensure the highest possible level of protection, performance, and reliability for all customers.

What to Expect

Temporary unavailability of services hosted in Frankfurt
Possible latency spikes or performance fluctuations during routing adjustments
Expected maintenance window: 60–120 minutes

We will begin the migration at 3:00 PM UTC+1, and our team will work to keep downtime to a minimum as we update and re-route all affected IP ranges.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact our support team at any time.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
