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

    It’s not the cheapest but I use a DigitalOcean instance to do what you are describing. I’ve been burned by VPS hosts and I’ve enjoyed the complete lack of drama or downtime with DigitalOcean.

    For port forwarding I’m using Private Internet Access and gluetun. I don’t really recommend Private Internet Access and, like you, I’m interested in a better solution. It’d be nice if I could use ProtonVPN’s port forwarding but it looks like that only works if you use their app.
