I enjoyed mozilla vpn until a few months ago - seemed like every site in the world had their ips blocked; ended up rolling my own on a cheap vps.
How does the price of a vps compare to any other vpn. Surely this isnt as private?
I purchased a lowend vps for $15 USD a year. Correct, it is not as private - due to the singular ip; however, for my needs it works quite well.
Would you be willing to share which one can be had for that cheap?
Sure! https://softshellweb.com/shared-hosting looks like it's $20 USD a year without a promotion/coupon. I bought a holiday special if memory serves me correct.
