Context:
Over the past few months, Xfinity has just been causing me so many problems with self-hosting. Not having a static ip isn’t actually that much of a problem for me, I was able to set up a little docker container that automatically changes my dns records when my ip changes. However, pretty frequently, they’ll reset my router/gateway’s firewall configuration, which blocks basically all ipv6 traffic by default, and the other day, they even removed my port forwards while I was away, and hid my server from the port forwarding screen so I couldn’t add them back until I got physical access to the server.
So, I’ve come to the realization that I should probably set up a VPS, since that should solve basically all of my issues. All I want is something that can forward/proxy gigabit traffic to my server, probably over something like wireguard.
To be clear, I still want all of my services to run on my server, I just want the VPS to route the traffic.
And, said VPS preferably has ipv6 in addition to ipv4 access, and gigabit download, though none of those are strict requirements.
Questions:
Are there any issues or limits with this setup that I’m not considering?
Is there a better solution?
Assuming the previous Q’s are fine:
What’s a good VPS provider for this?
What software should I use to actually do the forwarding/proxying?
All the racknerd links are no good
Gotcha. I’m doing everything I can to avoid spamming, but that’s kinda hard to do when OP has specifically asked for a service provider…
I know this link will work: https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=17772&pid=953
That’s for the 2gb/2cpu/service I use. From low-end to high-end, pids 952 ($21.99/yr), 953, 954, 955, and 956($119.99/yr) are currently available.
Sorry, I wasn’t trying to call you out or anything. Just bummed that the good prices weren’t available anymore.
Nothing to apologize for! I wish they wouldn’t be cagey about their actual offerings. I’d recommend them more if I didn’t gain anything from doing so.
