I am selfhosting VPN for 2.49$ a month. Speed is up to 700 mbps in my case and I have additional services like PiHole + unbound.
How on earth do you selfhost a VPN?? I've never heard of that
Self hosted VPNs are not suitable for sailing the seas. Self-hosting a VPN server only provides remote access to your local network. It does not provide any sort of privacy benefits, because the tunnel exit is an IP address traceable to you.
If they are paying for it, it's either not self-hosted, or they are paving a licensing fee for the VPN software they are running locally.
Ah ok, that makes sense, thanks!
