That seems like that could get rather expensive in terms of bandwidth. From some napkin math I did using https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/, even 100GB of data would cost $9. That doesn't even include the cost of reserving the instance itself, just the bandwidth costs.
- vitus 10y agoAzure costs the same for network, apparently (up to 40TB), providing that you stay within US/UK/Canada. [0] Google Cloud is supposedly cheaper in terms of network ($0.01/GB -> $1 for 100GB) if you're primarily visiting US sites [1]. Still potentially expensive either way, depending on your network usage. You could use an always-free f1-micro GCE instance [2] and run OpenVPN on it 24/7, although configuration might take a bit of time (read: half an hour, tops? I'm assuming it's no harder than the equivalent software-based option on EC2). I know on the other hand, Amazon's always-free tier doesn't include EC2 (it is included in their free tier, but that only lasts for 12 months). [3] Disclaimer: Google pays me money to write code and stuff, so I'm probably biased. I've also never actually used GCE, but that's because I still have a bunch of AWS credits, among other reasons.
