I use a $15/year vps for this. Acts as a bastion to all the servers I connect to.

  Where did you get $15/yr VPS?

    You can get 2 VM from Oracle Cloud for free forever-ish.

    You can find many low priced (and low spec) VPS deals on https://lowendbox.com https://lowendbox.com. Just keep in mind you generally get what you pay for.

    GCP also offers a "always free" micro-instance that's more than enough for the task at hand. https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier#always-free https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier#always-free

      It's free outside of the IPv4 address, right? Pretty sure they started charging for that, or perhaps it is still delayed due to COVID.

    I use ramnode.com for it. It’s under openvz

  Could you say where you got that? I haven't seen many servers in the "dirt cheap and really tiny" space.

    Digitalocean, Linode, hetzner, etc, etc.

    I use ramnode.com. It’s one of the openvz servers they have

+1. Allows me to access my Jellyfin and file server from my laptop no matter where I am, all for a few bucks and a good learning experience with Wireguard.
