Thanks for the reply! After I wrote that I had another look at the context in which you posted your comment and realized I had misunderstood your meaning. That was why I deleted it. I can definitely appreciate that a very large instance will have higher operating costs and that people shouldn’t be mooches. Cheers!

This post was the first I heard of it too. I would have liked to have been counted.
That’s my understanding as well. The current initiative is far more limited in scope, and pays back students who were defrauded by scam schools.
If you’re in the US and care about domain privacy, don’t get a .us domain. .us domains are specifically forbidden from using domain privacy.
Are you using Route 53 for DNS? If so, would you mind sharing your monthly cost for that? Thanks again.
Thanks for the suggestion. Honestly one thing I don’t like about AWS and a lot of the major cloud vendors these days is the pricing structure isn’t very easy for me to wrap my head around and I’m never confident what I will be charged. I do have some services on AWS and so far I haven’t had any surprises but I do always have that concern. I will give Route 53 another look though.
Thanks for the detailed response! I will definitely check out unbound. Sounds perfect. And 2 cores and 2 GB RAM is exactly what I was hoping would be enough, so I can keep costs down.
All great questions! It will be a Debian Linux hosted VPS. Thanks for the input!
I can’t speak to Racknerd, but I have used a couple VPS from Ethernet Servers and they are a great value. I have a single core VPS with 3 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD for $25 per year, and another with higher specs I pay more for.
Kevin Mitnick was truly legendary. I particularly respect the fact that he reportedly never stole a dime from anyone, and that he ultimately used his skills for good. His services helped protect many people including government entities from hacking attacks. The world lost a great man too soon.
For the described scenario only one public IP is necessary. The other Nextcloud instance could have an internal IP only.
Or they could keep using Brave? I use Brave on my phone and Firefox on my desktop for the same reasons mentioned, but in general Brave is a great browser on phones. I’m amazed it isn’t hugely popular if only for the YouTube features.
We just recently purchased Mail Assure with Cove Data Protection from N-able to achieve a similar goal, but unfortunately I don’t have any experience with it yet to advise if it is any good. It is an option though.
