One signup at subgenius.vip (https://subgenius.vip) creates a single account, and that account brings three things with it:
- a sign-in for subgenius.vip
- a mailbox — you@subgenius.vip
- a dynamic DNS name — you.subgenius.vip
You don't request the mailbox or the DNS name separately. Both are created automatically a couple of minutes after you sign up.
MailYour @subgenius.vip address can
receive mail as soon as it exists.
Sending is switched off by default and is enabled per account — ask in this board if you need it, and it goes live within a few minutes of approval.
Webmail is at mail.subgenius.vip (https://mail.subgenius.vip).
Signing inYour account page has:
- two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, plus one-time backup codes
- a recovery email address
- password change, and forgot-password reset
After 5 failed sign-in attempts the account locks for 15 minutes. That limit is enforced centrally, so it applies no matter which of our sites you tried to sign in from. The site you sign in at never stores your password — it checks it centrally and keeps only the fact that you're you.
A sign-in lasts 14 days of inactivity, and 30 days maximum, before it asks again.
What signing in does NOT coverThe dyndns control panel asks you to sign in again. That is on purpose, not a bug. That panel edits live DNS records, so it holds itself to a much shorter session — 1 hour idle, 12 hours maximum. Handing it the longer session from the main site would quietly downgrade it to the weaker of the two policies.
This forum is a separate login. Your ViP account does not sign you in here yet.
Questions about any of the above go in this board.
