Thank you for answering very clearly. That’s what I was expecting to hear. I was also looking at Nerdrack. It’s very interesting to hear your bandwidth numbers, I would only be serving to three users, so I’d likely be looking at much less than your 300 GB, which is very good to know!
Comment on A noob question about VPSs and bandwidth

will all my Jellyfin traffic go through the VPS Yes and count as bandwidth used? Yes, twice (download from home to the server, and upload from the server to the client)
I do the same thing - I have a 3TB limit, but usually only use 300GB, sharing jellyfin to a dozen or so users.

This would depend on whether the limit is defined as ingress or egress or both. For example AWS has free ingress traffic from the internet but there is a cost for egress traffic to the internet.
A better solution would be to find a unmetered service, which means that you have a fixed transfer speed (e.g. 500 Mbit) but have unlimited bandwidth. OVH offers this in their VPS products.

Can vouch for Racknerd.
