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

thank you! Marking as solved
get a pfcloud vps
and make a proxy
as in use the vps as a proxy?
depends, but with an average of 30 players, I'd guess you'd only use 2TB/mo at most
probably less
cool! Looks like TCPShield is the way to go then, thank you!
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
i dont want a host, though. I believe strongly in self-hosting
is ur isp ok with u hosting?
I haven't gotten mail from them yet
well ur only doing it for a few friends
30 is a whole lot more bandwidth
Thats a problem I'll figure out when it comes to it
+ power costs etc
aight
