Biggest issue regular user might find with this is that basically all the VPS host' IP ranges are known, and plenty of websites give you a different (worse) experience compared to when using residential addresses, or straight up block you.
Personally I found the hassle to great, compared to using existing VPN services.
- giobox 1y agoExact same experience here. In the 2010s I ran my own VPN exit node on a dirt cheap VPS so I could access streaming content in my country of birth. Worked great for years, but nowadays so many sites simply block non-residential IP ranges that I gave up ages ago now. It's a shame because deploying WireGuard was a simple two command process: git checkout followed by a `docker compose up -d` for me etc on a fresh VPS instance.
