I just wanted mail and privacy directed.

Cloudflare + protonmail is my setup. Works great and if you buy like 2 years it’s pretty cheap.

Unfortunately this isn’t true, pretty much all of them have most of their IPs on some sort of block list.

Good to hear it works. I think this will be the route I go, I’m under the 2 TB xfer a month so it should work for the $5 tier.

Unfortunately I don’t know anyone that would be remotely ok with me using their bandwidth.

They’re not blocking me though, they’re blocking spam IPs based off blacklists from cheap VPSs that allow spammers to spin up a cheap VPS and go ham for a month. No clue how that’s Lowe’s fault for adopting industry standard IP filters.

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.

I know it’s only what I’ve experienced but I’ve been on a 2 weeks of hell from emc drives failing at the same time because dell didn’t change up serials. Had 20 raid drives all start failing within a few days of each other and all were consecutive serials.

Was able to get rpi3bs easy…4 drops…never saw one that wasn’t overpriced scalped shit.

Yep a static IP is great for hosting dedicated servers

O %100 agreed. Just suggesting a way around the bullshit cap they impose.

It’s why you just get a business line, usually just slightly more expensive, and you get 99.9% SLA uptime and unlimited cap.
