Cheapest UK VPS for Running a VPN

[nelsonic]

We used to have a NordVPN account for accessing UK-based content (iPlayer, Netflix, Prime, etc).
But they were trying to jack-up the price on the renewal so we cancelled. 💔
We could hunt for another deal and signup with a different email address,
but ultimately I feel like we can do better!

Specifically, we can deploy an instance of algo: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo
And it will cost £1/month for a 1GB VPS:

That's a £10 setup fee and then £1/month.

Feel like we could run a couple of other lightweight things.
E.g. a DNS sink (PiHole) dwyl/learn-computer-networking#26

Not looking at this right now. Just want a placeholder.
Our NordVPN expired last month and I've lived without iPlayer
(for which I mostly used to listen to audio content and haven't looked at Netflix in over a year ...)
But if there's something I really want to watch like a David Attenborough Nature Doc https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0wjxg0ex1o
I will time-box this and see if I can get it setup in less than an hour.

There's a Panorama investigation on baby food pouches that I've seen snippets of online and would love to watch the full thing too

I used the BBC Sounds App every day for listening to Rasio content and Comedy … until yesterday.

Jokers. 🃏

If it helps you sleep, I'd say a vpn is a good investment!
