Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly

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.
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:
I’m running into similar issues, do you mind expanding on your solutions?
I’m still having trouble with it and I’m currently traveling. My analysis so far points to my vps provider being at fault.
Similar here. Just a Digital Ocean droplet running Pangolin. Functions basically the same as the cloudflare tunnel it replaced.
The basic 4 dolars one? Or something extra?
Pangolin officially says on their site :
Pangolin generally requires minimal resources to run effectively. A basic VPS with 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, and 8GB SSD is sufficient for most deployments.
If you choose a VPS with only 1GB RAM, you may need to create swap space to avoid memory pressure during installation, updates, or periods of higher traffic.
I’ve got a 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB Disk droplet for $6/mo and have no issues for my limited home use. Updates don’t really take a noticeably long time or anything, it takes maybe 45 seconds to fully bring up the docker container again after an update. But it runs just fine.

What’s a cheap vps you recommend?

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?
MangoPenguin@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Most VPS are on 1Gbps connections, but even if it only has 100Mbps that’s plenty.

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?
TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.

Look into Oracle cloud’s Always Free tier of cloud instances. I have a few of those and they’re decent for free.
