What cloud vps server host do I use?

What cloud VPS host is the best for privacy and security? I want to self host stuff for myself some tools. Mental Outlaw make a video last year about self hosting your own VPN with a service called Vultr but back in December vultr added to their TOS that they own what you host and a bunch of other scary stuff. So I don't trust...

No one has mentioned Njalla. I haven’t used their server offerings, but they are probably the best for privacy.

solberg OP ,

I’m looking to maybe replace my VPS with something like Hoppy and a Raspberry Pi (I imagine the Pi 5 8GB might be stronger than anything I can get for $8/m). I have a static public IP anyway, but I’d rather not host websites and stuff using that.

solberg OP ,

Thanks. This solution looks like it might work, too.

solberg OP ,

Thank you.

And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server.

I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.

I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

solberg ,

If you’re the only one connecting to the server, I would recommend something like Tailscale. Everything will be encrypted and you won’t need to forward any ports to the public internet.

If other people need to access it, an option might be https://hoppy.network. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it would be pretty slick if it works well.

solberg ,

I think it depends on what kind of services they are using as I think Funnel is designed for HTTPS traffic, no UDP or custom ports.

solberg ,

I was looking at this the other day. It would be nice if there was a self-hosted equivalent of untitled.stream

solberg ,

It’s not a Termius alternative, but I found that after setting up Tailscale SSH on all my servers, I don’t really bother using Termius any more.

The plain macOS terminal looks better to me anyway
