I’ve had success wrapping OpenVPN (TCP) in stunnel on networks that have done similar things.

There’s a whole community around finding affordable hosting for a variety of use cases. https://lowendtalk.com/ I found my current provider there and on Black Friday they were offering an exclusive lowendtalk deal (called the 6666) where I pay $66 every 2 years and get 6gb ram 6vcpus and 66GB disk and 6tb transfer on a 10gbps line. these smaller hosts won’t have all the same features digital ocean and vultr have like 1-click templates.

hi, please ignore this comment i am testing my lemmy instance.
