My $3/year NAT box just became my main VPN

Three year uptime now. Contabo shared IPv4, 20 ports forwarded. In my country we have many blocks so this helps. I run wireguard and shadowsocks together. 128MB RAM but never swap. Screenshot attached.

Why people say NAT is unusable?

phở at 3AM, deploy at 4

Three years on a three dollar box thats actually insane I thought these things died every other month whats the cpu even is it some ancient atom or what does wireguard choke on multiple streams or is it fine because 128mb sounds like nothing but if its just routing packets maybe thats enough

You got a 3 year uptime screenshot, that is crazy. I had a CloudCone NAT die in 4 months, they always oversell those boxes. You must got lucky or they put you on good node. Does it route via Singapore or Hong Kong for you?

1) I need to see this screenshot before I believe
2) port limits are real problem for me
3) I tried Hostinger nat and only 5 ports
4) Contabo gives 20 you say
5) but which 20 do you get
6) random allocation or choice
7) this matters for services

In my server I make VPN with 256MB and is good actually how much ports you need friend 20 is many or what I think NAT is good for the price but people is afraid because no dedicated IP I use in RackNerd before and no problem

Route via Tokyo adds 34ms. Route via Singapore adds 12ms. Your path:

1  192.168.1.1    0.5ms
4  contabo.com  45ms
8  203.x.x.x      89ms

Good peering for Southeast Asia. No packet loss in 1000 pings. The 20 ports are sufficient if you map 22, 443, 51820 UDP. Not random, you request in panel.

1ms or I don't want it
