you can run a vm on your pc for free or use WSL2 on winblows 11 with Debian/Ubuntu
Thank you all for your replies and suggestions.
@Snitchboss123, that's a very kind and generous offer, especially considering we don't know each other. I really appreciate it. However, I'd like to have at least a public IPv4 address, as that's one of the things I want to experiment with.
Regarding my homelab, my goal is actually to test things that can't easily be done only on a local network, such as DRP/Disaster Recovery scenarios, remote deployments, and Internet-facing services. That's why I'm looking for a VPS in the first place.
Based on your feedback, I think I'll start looking at low-cost paid VPS offers instead and compare what's available.
I honestly thought there were still some free (or very limited) VPS offers that would allow people to learn and get a feel for cloud hosting without requiring a credit card or a paid plan. From your replies, it seems that's no longer really the case, which is understandable given the amount of abuse providers have to deal with nowadays.
Thanks again everyone for taking the time to reply and for pointing me in the right direction.
