The problem with this is that jumping out onto the net from a VPS-allocated IP causes all sorts of trouble for "normal" internet use. For example you won't be able to use Netflix doing something like this.
- snazz 7y agoI can see why Netflix would try to block it, but I haven't run into any issues with it myself (OpenIKEd on OpenBSD on a $3.50/mo Vultr server as detailed here: https://www.snazz.xyz/how-to/2019/09/13/vpn.html https://www.snazz.xyz/how-to/2019/09/13/vpn.html). A lot of websites seem aggressive towards Tor users, but my VPS IP address was treated the same as my home, work, and LTE addresses. Are there any other documented cases I should be aware of?
- errantspark 7y agoVultr is a lesser-known VPS, ymmv. I had issues with several websites using Linode. I don't have a list, but iirc it was some gaming related service that took issue with the IP.
