I've set up my own VPN using Streisand [https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand] & Google Compute Engine (Micro Instance). When you create an account on Google's Cloud, you get $300 (or used to at least). This instance type is big enough to handle the few devices I connect to it, fairly speedily too.
- thomasahle 9y agoHow long does those $300 last you?
- mtmail 9y agoThe micro instance is (eligible to be) free https://cloud.google.com/free/ https://cloud.google.com/free/ so the $300 is an extra (expires after 12 months)
- WellDressed 9y agoThanks mtmail! I've yet to pay a dime. I won't mind doing so once it expires though.
- komali2 9y agoIs it not feasible that a warrant to Google instantly reveals your identity?
- WellDressed 9y agoWithout a doubt! I'm not too concerned because I'm using it within the USA to access my email, HN, and various other common websites while on public wifi.
- foxyv 9y agoYup, hosting illegal content via a cloud provider is a good way to have your account shut down.
