So it started when I got this insane value ARM NAT box from Contabo! €6/month, 1GB RAM, shared IPv4 but full port control! I was just messing around with it for personal projects; next thing I know my buddy asks "can you host my discord bot" and I'm like sure!
Then another friend needs a wireguard endpoint. Then someone wants a reverse proxy for their homelab. Now I'm the "NAT VPS guy" and honestly? It rules! These little Ampere chips run circles around x86 at this price point!
But now my friend Dave wants one too and I'm already doing support tickets for his bot crashing. Send help! Anyone else become accidental tech support for their whole crew?
