I just started renting a basic VPS through Racknerd with the intent to use it as a reverse proxy to point friends to my game server instances running at home without exposing my public IP. I could not figure out how to get it to work so I gave up after days of trying and am now using playit.gg. I prepaid for a year of the VPS. What cool project should I try on it now?
It might. But anecdotally, I have three instances of Adguard Home that my router uses, one local and two VPS. The fastest is on a VPS, ~7ms average processing time. My local instance is in the teens, probably because I’m abusing that poor machine hosting too much. But a VPS based DNS server is a viable option in my personal experience.
