I have T-Mobile wifi (Really great btw for $30 with my plan) but it has the big dumb cgnat. I have a plex server and you can’t stream remotely with it. I had an Oracle VPS but after my trial ran out they decided they wanted to delete it with no warning.
I was using a wireguard vpn connected to my vps with Plex ports to bypass it. Right now oracle is out of instances for me to use so I thought I could see if there are any better alternatives.
I am using this GitHub script to do it

I am wondering if anybody knows of a good VPS that I could use. I don’t necessarily mind paying for it but I would like it to be relatively cheap if not free.
If it matters at all I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with DietPi running my plex server.
I haven’t tried this but would it be possible to set up my VPN using wireguard on my pi and have plex point towards that?
I had Mullvad but since they are getting rid of port forwarding I got TorGuard (blah blah USA company, I know). Also wondering if there are better VPNs that I could use for… Downloading… Stuff
The guide has digital ocean and AWS Lightrail also but im not sure which one would be best and less likely to delete my account. I would prefer to use a VPN that I already pay for but im just not all too sure on how to go about that
Edit: Ended up using rack nerd. Got their 4tb monthly vps for $14 a year. Perfect for me
I never used it, but I bumped into ngrok when I was researching remote accessing services hosted behind CGNAT, and it turned out to be not needed in my case, but maybe it’s worth for you to check it out: https://ngrok.com/docs/using-ngrok-with/cgnat/
I’m not all too knowledgeable with this stuff but it has the command http 80. Does that mean it is opening port 80 using ngrok? The plex port I need is 32400 tcp. Would it just be as simple as doing http 32400?
Here’s a howto for your case. In the end it should be like ‘ngrok tcp 32400’
this ended up not being a solution for me due to Xbox and TV apps and such
