I have T-Mobile wifi (Really great btw for $30 with my plan) but it has the big dumb cgnat. I have a plex server and you can’t stream remotely with it. I had an Oracle VPS but after my trial ran out they decided they wanted to delete it with no warning.
I was using a wireguard vpn connected to my vps with Plex ports to bypass it. Right now oracle is out of instances for me to use so I thought I could see if there are any better alternatives.
I am using this GitHub script to do it

I am wondering if anybody knows of a good VPS that I could use. I don’t necessarily mind paying for it but I would like it to be relatively cheap if not free.
If it matters at all I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with DietPi running my plex server.
I haven’t tried this but would it be possible to set up my VPN using wireguard on my pi and have plex point towards that?
I had Mullvad but since they are getting rid of port forwarding I got TorGuard (blah blah USA company, I know). Also wondering if there are better VPNs that I could use for… Downloading… Stuff
The guide has digital ocean and AWS Lightrail also but im not sure which one would be best and less likely to delete my account. I would prefer to use a VPN that I already pay for but im just not all too sure on how to go about that
Edit: Ended up using rack nerd. Got their 4tb monthly vps for $14 a year. Perfect for me
I use RackNerd for public reverse proxies on my lab. Their New Years sales is still active, and is very affordable. Only $13/yr for 1GB RAM KVM VPS, plenty for a personal reverse proxy or VPN.
No issues with service, their support is great and responds promptly.
Didn’t expect to see a shout out for racknerd. I been using them for quite a few years. Got a 3.5 GB KVM for $28.99/year deal. They even upgraded their infrastructure since and moved my server over to a full SSD node.
Thanks I appreciate it. I’ll take a look into it
got the $12 a year one and it worked perfect thank you! it has 4tb a month so that should be more than enough
