For those that are having difficulties with VULTR - To get your $300 FREE credits you'll need to do the following 1) Click on the link in the description and sign up with an account 2) Link a valid credit card that has never been used with a previous VULTR account 3) Check "I only want to link the credit card with $0 deposit You should have $300 credit applied to be used. If you run into issues, you can contact VULTR support: www.vultr.com/company/contact/ Finally, you do NOT need to use Vultr. Use ANY cloud provider that allows you to spin up Windows VM as we'll be using this for RDP and our ticketing system.
Still facing the same issue with vultr. Could you please recommend a cloud provider we can use that can allow us to us to follow through with the learning?
I have been receiving a block massage by Vultr firewall even the support page I am blocked from . I have sign up successfully at the beginning then I was busy with something else, session expired logged in again successfully suddenly this error msg came. Can anyone help me with that ?!
I've tried debit and credit, it doesn't work at all. Could you please show how to do it in AWS or GCP? Or any other option? Is it possible to make it in free tier in AWS/GCP or we'll have to pay?
Thank you Steven for this video, it is also very good content not only for the challenge participants, but for anyone who is interested in this specific point.
Completed Day #3 Ran into two different issues: 1. VULTR FW blocked my accessed and I resolved it by updating my billing file on their page. 2. Did not see the option "My IP Address" when I was updating the group firewall, to solve it. First select 'Custom' and then put your public ip given by your ISP and not the Instance public ip.
@@tukaram4606 actually it was quite confusing, i tried with multiple account with the link of steve but in the end it didn't work. Suddenly on one of them vultr team gave me the opportunity to have 250$ of bonus registering with paypal, 250$ was enough for me but be aware in that case
Hi Steven! I am at the part where you have to manage the firewall group. I don't see anything called -" My IP" in the drop down menu of source. Should I choose custom and give my instance's public ip address rather than "Anywhere"? Will that restrict the access to my system?
Weird that you don't see that but yea use Custom and I would add your public IP rather than your instances public IP so you can access your ELK from your host. You can obtain your public IP here: www.whatismyip.com/
For those who are getting the message like this: "Oops! Your request was blocked by our firewall" They are advised to mail the support team as mention. Team will update your ticket. And the problem will be solved. Note: it may take 2 3 upgrades to get rid of that issue. Keep mailing them about the problem until it is resolved.

Hello Steven Please do I need a VPN to access VULTR, Because their firewall keeps blocking me from adding a VPC. it displays error 403 (forbidden) I am from Nigeria. Please what do you advice
I had a similar experience. After signing up, I couldn’t set anything up right away. I encountered a firewall. You need to complete your profile and add a card on file first. To link a card, there’s a minimum deposit of $5. Once these steps are done, you may proceed further. I’ve just finished Day 3 and am moving on to Day 4! 🔥
Hello!! I didn't see "MyIP" on the firewall rules, but I used the "custom", hope that will suffice as I move forward. Day3 done moving to Day4. Thanks Again, I claim the grand price giveaway
Hi @Steven, if used as a resume point of setting up an ELK environment, what specific questions would be expected to answer regarding this if asked. Also, familiarity with powershell and sytax is paramount in these types of Lessons?
I would shift your mindset. Rather than thinking of what questions are expected, I would instead recommend you try and learn as much as you possibly can about the setup to the point you’re comfortable doing it and why you are doing what you are doing. This way if any question comes your way, you can answer it based on your experience. This IMO is a much better approach. As for familiarity, it is always nice to have some but definitely not needed. You can always use ChatGPT for clarification.
@@MyDFIR Thanks so much! I definitely agree with what you are suggesting. Looking forward to day 4! Actually itching to have the SOC env. to do some analysis/monitoring. But as they say " Good things take time!" I am patiently waiting for the new video notification! Thanks for all your hard work!
I did not get the MyIP option in IPv4 instead it was in IPv6 is it ok If I selected the public IP from IPv6 or should I go back and get it done in the IPv4 Custom IP
That shouldn’t be the case, you should be able to just link without depositing money unless they changed it. Either way, $5 for 300 credit would still be pretty worth it IMO - otherwise you can use azure, aws or gcp
I was able to login to the VULTR, Thanks but my challenge now is , for the Mange firewall group , the source part ,there is no MY IP, should I leave it at the default 'Anywhere' or choose between Custom/Cloudflare/Load Balancer?
Put a credit/debit card in the billing file if you're getting blocked by their firewall(FW) and this will fix the issue. I think they do this maybe to check if you're bot, etc!
?Is vultur paid? While doing this challange?Do we need to paid extra? although there was 300$ credit already? On our account or we just need to add our card on it to Use that credit?

Hi Steven, is it a good idea to keep the VM running after the exercise?
Not sure about the fee structure on vultr..hence the question @MyDFIR
You’ll get charged on or off unless you fully destroy the VM - I would turn it off for the time being.
