Are there any folks here who have set up hosting for Pangolin in the EU and if so; what hosting options have you chosen? Are there any good free tier options?
I’m also keen on finding a platform which supports terraforming the setup for the VPS, firewall etc.
Is the 1€/month price permanent or a limited time deal where it will go up later? Because I didn’t see that kind of pricing on their site which wouldn’t go up to 12€/month after a year.
No, it’s permanent. They call it “VPS XS”, here (in german). Sadly a initial one-time payment of 10€ required, I forgot about that.
On ionos.com the same VPS costs $2/month. No one-time payment though.
The unique selling point of this VPS for me was the low price combined with unlimited traffic. Sometimes my nebula lighthouse needs to proxy traffic for peers that can’t talk to each other directly. It’s nice not to worry about traffic then.
That’s interesting, I’ll have to look into that again, they seem to have a server location option that is EU which looks nice, I’ll just need to find out which countries that actually refers to.
