O_o but why
and a static IP.
O_o but why
Isn't this a subreddit about selfhosting? How is no one talking about OpenVPN?
I run an IPSEC vpn between me and my server. OpenVPN for the SSL vpn when I'm on the road. Split-tunnel is the default, but if I log in as a different user then I routes all traffic out the VPN.
Try self hosting WireGuard instead of openVPN it's much faster.
PIA. Supports port forwarding.
I've been using PIA for a good few years now, never had a problem with them, slightly concernced that I appear to be pretty much the only one, does everyone else know something I don't?
They were acquired by some VPN megacorp and AFAIK, all their credible postings and court stuff happened prior to that, so their credibility is unknown today
I have Proton Unlimited, so got the VPN included. Otherwise I would use Mullvad
My own Ubiquiti VPN on the USG I have in my rack. #selfhosted
PIA
Reason = Transmission
I am collecting Linux.iso :)
I use protonvpn due to me getting it with my proton unlimited bundle, and on the plus side with some scripting I can use the proton NAT-PMP forwarding with my qbittorent to get port forwarding while.. distributing and acquiring Linux isos.
OVPN. They have dedicated ip with port forwarding
Windscribe
Airvpn with 3 year plan, windscribe with discount link you can find on reddit or their newsletter discounts are both good value
I’m surprised that no one mentioned IVPN
a pi with wireguard in multiple friends houses in different countries
Proton is good and Windscribe is good if you need a dedicated ip.
Oracle cloud free VPS… with wireguard.
had to scroll too far to see this. Or someone questioning why OP is even using a VPN for daily traffic at all
Mullvad, it's extremely popular among privacy advocates
It's just really goddamn expensive. I use purevpn, whose subscription costs me €14 per year for identical servixe (obviously less rigorous privacy-wise, but I'm not doing anything beyond torrenting)
The only way other VPNs become cheaper is through long term contacts. I personally hate being locked into services.
AirVPN since about 8 years. Highly recommended. If you want something flashy that wins design awards looks elsewhere :) from a technical perspective they are absolutely top notch with every feature you could possibly wish for.
I use IVPN, paid for with crypto over Tor. It’s been amazing so far, but to make things easier I’ve taken to deploying my own “proxy” to it in the cloud (I cache DNS among other things).
Selfhosted WG
Njalla works very well for me since the time it was (unfortunately) called ipredator
Kaspersky because it’s part of my $3/month antivirus.. split tunnel kills my self-hosted docker stuff, and essentially isn’t really split tunneling, but yeah
PIA since Mullvad took away port forwarding.
I was with mullvad for a year and the speeds sucked, nordvpn for a few years now and the speeds are great - and I always keep the mesh net feature on my devices so I can remote in without opening ports.
I don’t even really use the vpn service anymore though, just the mesh net. I will probably not renew when my year is up.
Windscribe.
They usually run a really good sale around Black Friday (US).
I have been happy with NordVPN. It is able to give me nearly 100% of my 1.5Gbps connection, and with almost no latency difference I'm able to game without turning it off.
Since Mullvad got rid of Port Forwarding, I use TorGuard for checking out LinuxISOs
But I still use Mullvad on my pc/phone, since its the best
Defintely not you asked, but have you considered switching from torrents for your linux ISOs to Real Debrid?
Made the switch last week, can't be happier. It even comes with mega and usenet downloads for cheaper than a VPN. Doesn't solve the static IP issue, but you might want to check it out.
I don’t think you can go wrong with NordVPN, Proton or Mullvad. I find Nord and Proton have better speeds.
Ovpn. Tested in court as well.
