Hey all, it seems I've not kept up on the instance updates and ran into a problem when looking to move several versions today. I'm currently sitting on 1.1.7, went through trying both the script and the manual steps (which look to be the same functionally) and get a consistent error every time at step 4/10

A couple things, is there a way I could set up an alert for version updates available to keep on top of things and more currently is there some steps I need to jump versions like this?

The relevant error in the build is below.

So I was just renewing a contract with a VPN provider, and paid out for a couple years it works out to somewhere under $2/month.

ISPs around me can run from about $50-$150/month

If I'm putting the major bulk of my traffic over a tunnel that could eat up a sizable chunk of a given connection point for the provider that I'm sure costs more than $2/month to maintain. I would have to assume it would take the combined subscriptions of several users to pay for a given node.

So how does that work as a business model? Unless these VPN providers are getting a steal on their connections it's hard to envision how they can manage to pay their costs without these nodes being absolutely bottlenecked when a few people start streaming some shows.
