Skype will shut down soon. I wanted an open source alternative so I tried Galene (https://galene.org/) multiple times to call my dad and it works very well.

I removed, OVH from my list of recommended providers.

Why?

OVH previously only resold servers in the United States, with their datacenters and business offices overseas in France.
