          These services are hosted at dormatories of the CROUS of
          Versailles and on a dedicated server at OVH.
          We are using free software except for the firmwares of our HPE and
          Ubiquiti machines.
          We are only collecting data that is required for the operation of the
          services (we don't sell them!), for our regulatory compliance or
          for anonymized statistics that are
          <a href="https://grafana.auro.re">publicly available</a>.
          We are backuping our services on a regular schedule.
          Our technical documentation is available at
          <a href="https://wiki.auro.re">our wiki</a>.
          If you feel like a service is missing, you can contact us.
          We are also providing public IPv4 addresses to members paying our
          Internet connection if you need one.
