It’s been a few days since my last post. Besides the improvements suggested by users in the announcement, I also took the opportunity to review other areas in the system that could be optimized. Some of these weren’t mentioned by users but personally felt awkward to me, and others are things I’ve wanted to change for a while but never had the time—so I tackled them all this round.
Currently, in addition to the items already listed and implemented in the Announcements section (such as self-service refunds in the Quality Zone, bandwidth upgrades in Hong Kong Zone 6, BBR acceleration, completion of SSL certificates, switching the avatar service to a domestic provider, etc.), I’ve basically finished all optimizations that could be done quickly in 1-2 days:
-
Some adjustments to the UlziX control panel
-
Added more explanatory fields to reduce uncertainty in the user experience
-
Improved interaction feedback in the points mall—if your balance is insufficient, you won’t just get an incomprehensible error pop-up anymore
-
Added more admin features in the backend for faster processing
There are still some planned features, like automatic product upgrades/downgrades, auto speed-limiting when data limits are exceeded, and more detailed node monitoring panels—these involve changes to core logic and will be dealt with later.
Also, for item 6 in the announcement, “Displaying Public IP separately + One-click Copy” turned out more complex than expected, so it’s on hold for now. If a suitable solution comes up, I’ll revisit it.
Next, I plan to integrate USD payments and PayPal to make things easier for users with overseas needs. The logic for USD payments is ready, but I’m still considering which third-party service to use, so for now, please do not select USD as your payment method.
To sum up: whatever could be fixed is fixed, whatever could be changed is changed, and whatever could be optimized is optimized—the rest will be handled step by step.
Since quite a few parts of the system have changed, I’m launching another giveaway post (and also using this as a chance to see if any of the new changes introduced bugs).

Winners, please register at https://idc-new.ulzix.com and send me a private message with your registration email.
Keep reporting and keep winning.
Note: Please notify me before you do any stress testing. Someone stress tested the system the other day—it held up well, but they sent so many emails that it used up all the quota, causing inconvenience for other users. If you let me know in advance, I can disable email notifications during your stress test.
