Known limitations
Current state of the project
Updated: February 2023
- Security is not guaranteed. We are still in the development phase. P2PCloud is not responsible for any data loss or theft.
- Testnet is available for clients only, not for providers.
Solved
SSD disks are slower due to the overhead of encryption and virtualization. Partially solved: as a solution for 100k+ IOPS applications, we added direct NVME attachment support. Look for offers with dedicated NVMe. Please refer to Securing NVMe guide.Attestation is partially happening on p2pcloud servers.Attestation runs 100% in the client’s browser or server.All disks are encrypted with a single password “dev_preview”. Disks are encrypted with user’s password.- Disk encryption is happening on p2pcloud’s servers.Disk encryption is happening on VM boot.No dedicated IPv4 is available yet. Workaround: use Cloudflare tunnels to accept traffic from the internet.General availability of dedicated IPv4 is here.Only local NVMe storage is available. No network disks. Treat VMs as if they were bare metal.Network storage is available.
Work in progress
- Drop support for 1st and 2nd generation AMD SEV technology due to security concerns
- Add support for custom root key, right now it is derived from Metamask/Core signature, which could be a security concern.
- The only distro available is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. We are working on adding more distros.
Unsolvable
- Hosting provider can not restart the virtual machine on another host machine without the user’s permission. Unsolvable.
