In Turkey we have same issue with providers giving high ports. I use HAProxy on a cheap Hetzner VPS in Finland (€3.50/month) as my entry point. Finland to my NAT in Germany is 25ms. Total cost still less than one "normal" VPS with dedicated IP.

The trick is `accept-proxy` on HAProxy side so you kee...

This.

$50 and they still call at 3 AM.

You sure Vultr gave you actual 4 vCPU and not burstable? Their ARM plans are solid but the x86 side can be oversold hard. Check your steal time with top or iostat, bet it is through the roof.

Can lah. Got free monitoring.

I use uptime kuma on my Contabo €4/month plan. When ping fail 3 times I fink about move lor. But actually never move leh. Too lazy.

Gut feeling also can. "this host sibeh slow already" then move. No need metric one.

Anycast does not help when OVHcloud itself has outage. Remember 2021 fire. Roubaix GONE. Your DNS goes with it. You need independent provider.

WRONG. You ALWAYS need redundancy. DNS is CRITICAL. Single nameserver is AMATEUR HOUR. What happens when OVHcloud goes DOWN. You LOSE EVERYTHING!

Today I looked at my own server at Hetzner and guess what its in the same region lol no RECs purchased forever running on coal actually everything runs together my hypocrisy is showing

Actually I used to fink same way about my ramen blog basically all readers were in osaka I thought (´・ω・｀)

Then I checked analytics and 35% were actually from overseas surpriseCDN helped alot with TTFB for them but maybe not needed if truly 100% local
