I’m surprised how many hotels block WireGuard now. I’m finding it harder and harder to do this.
Yes, I was surprised that internet stopped after connecting to OpenVPN at home. Had to use the mobile network.

#63Depending on the instance type, Lightsail easily gets throttled into oblivion. The $3.50/month instance allows for 5% utilization before you start eating up burst capacity. Perhaps WireGuard is light enough that it's okay, but thought it worth mentioning.
Linode isn't too bad for a VPS instance - best ot make sure the IP isn't on many block lists, take your time logging into all your services through it and the rest can be generally smooth sailing. More and more cloud providers look for and block vpn's self-hosted with vps providers, in which case, finding access to residential connections (trading) or a provider is a way to go.

#65Fairly off-topic, but I've been having the hardest time finding a Wireguard configuration guide that lets me connect two peers (my phone and an SBC at my house behind my router) to a VPS peer (with a public IP) in a way that routes all the traffic from my phone through the SBC (via WG) and out to the internet via my home fiber connection.

#69“why they felt the anonymous VPN operator was more trustworthy than a regulated ISP”:
- the VPN operator has never had an employee visit your home.
- the VPN operator did not require any type of credit check and/or require extensive personal information.
- the barriers to change VPN operator are substantially lower.
I’m not a huge fan of the VPN operators, but there are real differences in the trust required with each.
