VPS in Europe, not AWS/Google/M$
VPS in Europe, not AWS/Google/M$ - literature.cafe
Hey all, I hope I’m on topic, I host a bunch of self hosted services at home, however with the way things are going in the UK I’m looking to get a VPS set up, initially to use as a proxy and wireguard pop, probably move more stuff to avoid censorship later on (use case is a little fuzzy just yet). So, primary question is - good VPS providers that aren’t the big 3 tech bros, in Western Europe, preferably France, Netherlands Belgium or Spain. Secondary question, my ISP throttled all VPN traffic the other week, 3 different VPN providers (2 mainstream 1 small player) across about a dozen devices throttle to 250K, turn it off or split tunnel and back to 100mb plus (I have a 1Gb connection). The reddit bots immediately jumped in with “oh it’s just your VPN provider” however if I dropped phones off the wifi and connected to mobile telephony the VPN’d connections were fine - similar speed to split tunnel less some overhead. Lasted for 12 hours and then went back to normal. I assume I was being sin-binned for too much sailing of the seven seas. Any idea what settings I can tweak to make it harder for them to throttle me ? I tried changing the Mullvad one to use port 443 but it didn’t affect it - maybe they’d already put the throttle on for anything encrypted by that point ?
