Securely making a server public

Q: Are there any good proxys or other methods I can use to hide my IP while hosting? Details: I've had a private server I use for friends, and for that I've just been using a DDNS setup so my friend's don't have to remember my IP. I'd like to get a little more serious with my hosting and hopefully make a short buck off of it, but currently the domain shows my actual IP address.

There's TCPShield. You'd get 1TB bandwidth free with that. Then it's like $25 for 2.5TB etc

Looks good! Say I had a towny server with at most 30 people on, how long would 1 TB last me?

I'm not really sure on the specifics for that stuff. Someone here had the bandwidth per player per hour, lemme see if I can find it https://discord.com/channels/348681414260293634/730945261270204447/1116814787687501874 here's the convo

depends, but with an average of 30 players, I'd guess you'd only use 2TB/mo at most probably less

at 30 players a host is gonna be better for the 25 usd you could get 8gb with a r9 5950x at a host like bloom
