I ran openvpn on digital ocean before.
But then I wanted one in the UK sometimes, and in the US sometimes.
And then I tried to watch HKTV from Taiwan, so needed one in HK.
So I ended up with ExpressVPN.
But... let's see what happens this year.
Especially with netflix!
- lorenzhs 11y agoIf you set it up manually each time, sure, that won't work very well. But you should be able to automate that - create the config (CA and everything) once and then just spin up a droplet via the API, install the packages, copy and unpack the config. I don't think you'd need to customize more than the sever's IP address in the config. I built something similar with sshuttle (way easier than OpenVPN) two years ago, it's at https://github.com/lorenzhs/instavpn https://github.com/lorenzhs/instavpn but it uses the old DO API and is rather hacky. sshuttle also isn't very good for streaming.
