- cortesoft 10y agoWhere do you run it? Some of those same sites that block VPNs also block AWS IP blocks, and may also block other cloud providers as well.
- wakkaflokka 10y agoI would be interested in this as well. 1. Where are you hosting it, and do you ever get blocked from certain services or websites? 2. How much does it cost? Is it a fixed cost, or bandwidth-dependent? 3. What do your down/up speeds look like when connected?
- rbritton 10y agoTo answer you both: I host mine on a DigitalOcean instance. The Streisand installer (bash script + Ansible playbook) has a number of built-in deployment targets (Amazon, DigitalOcean, Google, Linode, and Rackspace at the time I did mine), and you can further select which region you want. It costs $5/mo, though there would be a cost for bandwidth overage if you hit your limit for the instance size. I have not done a speed test on it as I have always been constrained by my local connection more than the server's end. I use it only when traveling at the moment.
