It’s a 10 minute read when it should probably be a 2 minute read, likely due to LLMs fluffing it up (I got that vibe from skimming it). But what do you all think, is there anything in here that would compel you to switch from your current VPN solution to this?
The simplest would be renting a VPS I think.
I grabbed an Oracle free-tier many moons ago. The x86 one with 4 gig of memory I think? The arm have a much more core and memory but unless you go with Pay As You Go (PAYG) account ( need a one time refundable $100 credit) it’s virtually impossible to grab it.
My free tier account is sufficient as pure VPN for accessing stuff, you get 10 TB/month egress traffic. The downside is it’s Oracle, and you are at their mercy ( they can purge it without notice )
I never tried it because CGNAT but maybe Dynamic DNS could also solve this.
Other than that, Tailscale / CF tunnel etc are a fine solution ( for now )
