Yes I know I’m defeating the purpose of a VPN by using a static IP that’s solely attached to me, that’s not why I’m using my own.
The issue I’m having is that a good number of sites see these IPs and block or captcha them. My current one is not on any lists and I still have it caught for some sites like Etsy or Lowe’s even.
I’ve been reading that an AWS lightsale instance might work, is this the only option or is it going to have blocks by cloudflare as well.
Lol you’re good, I’m already renting a VPS and using it. Actually have less blocks than mullvad had. I have to use a VPS because I’m using a LTE router and the plan I’m on, while unlimited runs through an invisible proxy and after 2gbs it’ll drop the connection (it’s an old RV plan) and no option for anything else internet. If you go through a VPN it never slows or disconnects the Internet.
I’ve used windscribe before, it’s same issue that all vpns have, they get blocked quickly.
If you have a friend with unlimited home internet, maybe you can just install a raspberry pi there and use that as a vpn server?
Unfortunately I don’t know anyone that would be remotely ok with me using their bandwidth.
