    VPN (Only need for random things and only a few times)
    Backups.

    Why not VPN though?

    Recurring fee vs lifetime vpn provider, probably. Plus it can be a pita to always get new server when flix blocks your vps provider. Vpn providers will just make sure things keep working.
    Still, there could also be good reasons to self host vpn (e.g. white list ip or access to router/home network etc).

    For me I have some lifetime VPN subs and I keep my $5 boomer.host VPS to watch Hulu with since it doesn’t work on keepsolid half the time

    Get a residential proxy, fastestvpn has one (their "streaming" servers). And it costs 12$ for a lifetime sub

    Residential proxy? AFAIK you’re misusing that term. Also fastestvpn doesn’t get past Hulu on my phone

    You need to set protocol to udp then a "usa streaming" server will appear that you can use that has residential IP

    Interesting, thanks! I got a residential IP from comcast when I tried it, works on Hulu and it even works for shitposting on 4chan.
    I don’t know if I’d call it a proxy but it’s definitely residential. I also managed to push 220mbps from it

    Yeah I am also on comcast rn, the proxy rotates between different ISP's, but in the sams country so no issues there.

    I never host webhosting on my vps as the performance is even worse than shared hosing, plus has potential security issues.

    You can try on other ports like ssh(when I connect to my VPS) it uses a datacenter IP so they just have a proxy set up on ports 80 and 443

    It depends on the optimizations you do and your specs. I need some of the things that you can only do with root access for some of my sites, while other sites that I have run perfectly fine and fast on shared hosting.

    @szymonp said: That is from ip2location. The ISP shows up as "Verizon" on the US server and "Virgin Media" on the UK server

    I would trust that even less.

    Look I can PM you the IP and you check if it's legit or not. It's a rotating proxy so I don't care if you have it.

    Don’t ever send me an unsolicited PM, thanks.

    That only applied to @szymonp. I do not accept unsolicited PMs from minors.

    For the people who agreed to be residential proxies, if they're not technical, will be taken advantage of at least the equivalent of a TOR exit node. For those with technical skills, they can MiTM the traffic and blackmail people.

    What can go wrong?

    A lot of people use a VPN for anonymity. It's not anonymous if your traffic is pinned to a particular IP address.
