How's the bandwidth and transfer limits on that $5 VPS, would be my next concern? One approximately-perfect-Bluray-quality 4K movie can be north of 50GB, decent quality, still 20+GB. Very-high-quality 1080p is gonna be like 8-12GB for a movie, OK quality, 4.5-6GB.
Only for outgoing - 2TB included, each additional TB is $1. It was 20TB included when I set this up in 2024, but they've since changed their policies.
If I used their (Hetzner) servers in the EU it's still be 20TB, but I prefer having the server 10 miles from my house.
Plenty fine with that pricing since I also use it to un-CGNAT services on my home server (I'd run this through Tunnels if it was significant)
Generally ~22GB 4k hdr muxes or ~8gb 1080p.
Damn, that's decent, yeah that'd get you a ways. Imma stick with free peer-to-peer VPN via Tailscale because it's already working for me, but I can see the appeal of that.
