I have T-Mobile wifi (Really great btw for $30 with my plan) but it has the big dumb cgnat. I have a plex server and you can't stream remotely with it. I had an Oracle VPS but after my trial ran out they decided they wanted to delete it with no warning.
I was using a wireguard vpn connected to my vps with Plex ports to bypass it. Right now oracle is out of instances for me to use so I thought I could see if there are any better alternatives.
I am using this GitHub script to do it

I am wondering if anybody knows of a good VPS that I could use. I don't necessarily mind paying for it but I would like it to be relatively cheap if not free.
If it matters at all I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with DietPi running my plex server.
I haven't tried this but would it be possible to set up my VPN using wireguard on my pi and have plex point towards that?
I had Mullvad but since they are getting rid of port forwarding I got TorGuard (blah blah USA company, I know). Also wondering if there are better VPNs that I could use for... Downloading... Stuff
The guide has digital ocean and AWS Lightrail also but im not sure which one would be best and less likely to delete my account. I would prefer to use a VPN that I already pay for but im just not all too sure on how to go about that
Edit: Ended up using rack nerd. Got their 4tb monthly vps for $14 a year. Perfect for me
I chose Vultr because a friend recommended it, and the generous egress bandwidth provided. With a single $5 VPS you get 2TB free egress (this is for the whole account) + 1TB earned over the month (it gives the 1TB evenly out as the month progresses). This is more bandwidth than I'll probably ever use for my services so I don't have to be too concerned about bandwidth usage. So far I've hosted a few game servers and some HTTP web services (including my lemmy instance) with no issue.
