WavPay – the Hellhole Demo Site

Are you one of those anal-retentive bit-fiddlers who obseses over meaningless and arbitrary benchmarks? That’s okay, we don’t mind.

Want to ping or traceroute the server? You can use either hellhole.snarkhost.com or www.wavpay.com as the target, as they’re on the same server.

Keep in mind the server is with Alvotech in the KPN Eurorings datacenter in Dusseldorf, Germany; ping times to various parts of the world include:

11ms to Amsterdam;
16ms to London;
100ms to Montreal, Quebec;
110ns to New York;
120ms to Minnesota;
122ms to Texas;
150ms to Cairo, Egypt;
185ms to Seattle;
