Just going to throw this out there for anyone who is hesitant using a vpn managed by another service. You can set up your own easily using the ansible scripts provided by trailofbits, which supports both IPSEC and wireguard.

https://github.com/trailofbits/algo

a small DO (Digital Ocean) instance is only $5 a month and comes with 1TB outbound bandwidth (last I checked), which ends up being cheaper than most commercial offerings.



On their patreon goal of $1600/month : "We can start working on an easy-to-use mobile app that let people deploy their own VPN server without touching a terminal window."

Damn, that would be so cool.


I hadn't heard about that yet. Will have to look into it.


Or host it for free in one of Oracle's cloud 'always free' tier VMs.

Disclaimer: I'm an employee


"Oracle" and "free" in the same sentence? Has hell finally frozen over?


Cool. Didn't know about free oracle vm. Thanks


Does it have public IP?


It does


Oracle? Yikes.
