Similar here. Just a Digital Ocean droplet running Pangolin. Functions basically the same as the cloudflare tunnel it replaced.

I rent a cheap VPS with iptables routing ports through a wireguard tunnel to a peer on the local network that acts as a firewall and reverse proxy.

The basic 4 dolars one? Or something extra?

Same but nftables and also crowdsec.
Also I had some trouble with the wireguard tunnel dropping lots of packets, which resulted in my services not loading 50% of the time. I did a lot of suggestions at the same time so I’m not sure which one fixed it but here is a list in case anybody has similar troubles:
- lowering MTU
- routing ipv6 through the tunnel as well
- rewriting nftables rule order (will update after work, notes are at home)

What’s a cheap vps you recommend?
sulfidedisburseangledafternoontipper@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
I use a cheap racknerd vps via low end box. $12/yr.

That’s crazy cheap price. Does it really have enough bandwidth to stream jellyfin?
sulfidedisburseangledafternoontipper@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 hours ago
Yes. (Depending on load) I run a server with 10 users, probably 2-3 active at any given time. Works fine.

I hop around a lot. I’ve used Akamai (fka linode), Vultr, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, and GCP Compute Engine. I wouldn’t recommend the last 2 anymore because fuck big tech. A lot of people will mention Oracle’s free tier, but I don’t trust anyone that looks like Larry Ellison to own a machine with a direct connection into my local network.

I resonate with you as well, so what kind of set up do you use now?

Look into Oracle cloud’s Always Free tier of cloud instances. I have a few of those and they’re decent for free.
TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Linode has a $5/month option.
@TheRedSpade @pineapplelover Linode got acquired by Akamai and their service (or at least, *my* VPS) has really gone downhill over the past few years.

Oracle has a free tier where I run my Wireguard.
