sounds like something ("scene-relasted") from the end nineties, early 2000 years
when I started working I had unstable and slow internet, so I’ve almost always used SSH jump hosts.
started with a simple aws free tier ec2.
right now, I run 1xAWS & 1xHostUS VM as jump hosts.
on my production servers, I usually block all important ports and whitelist only these 2 VMs.
i travel a lot, so it also makes working on servers much easier.
i can pick up where I left off on a new device & I/client can simply allow an IP in the firewall & i don't have to worry about any IP changes/blocks.
It’s definitely worth the few bucks a year you spend on it.
Hmm it sounds like what you really want is tmux/byobu
Makes sense, though it is not just for connectivity issues.> @r3k said:
Never thought of AWS free tier, though I don't really like using AWS unless work/projects require it. I did pick up a few smaller annual VMs on flash deals in the past 24hrs and evaluating them now, just gotta make sure Alpine runs well on them.
I use AWS because I’m confident it’ll almost always stay online.
(You could also use an oracle-freetier VM btw)
Most LET providers are very stable but they just can’t quite match AWS in terms of reliability.
And on the rare occasion that AWS dies, I’ve got my backup HostUS VM.
Very true. And I still have PTSD from AWS outages, lol. Back at my old job, literally everything was using AWS for something (our entire infra), even our external services like Zendesk. Same with Cloudflare.
