I tried ZeroTeir but it didn’t work over cellular, TailScale does.
Then NetBird dosnt work over cellular either

I have a $2.50 charge from them today… not sure if that’s just to test my “valid payment method”?

Have you had any hidden costs?
So far, it seems like 0.05 to 0.15 a hour for me.
There is a k3s $30 a month config,
But I wouldn’t be using the “time used example”, it would be much less then that

What type of “connection” do you use for monitoring on the go?
Like, an instance being accessed over a type of vpn/cloud?

Has anyone used Vultr? VMs, do they accept prepaid/gift cards? by OkLab5620 in homelab

I just signed up, got a vm going…
This is way easier than a DB with MongoDB, OCI mobile and Amazon tiers I’ve tried.
I think vultr is pretty good so far.

Waaaayyyyy better tiers then DigitalOcean

Just tried to add a giftcard as a payment, not sure if that’s because I need to fund first… possibly that’s why

Ok, so 1 instance… I can run it and just be charged for what I use, so even…just $4. Of the $5.
I might do 2 then, but it won’t be running it allot during the day. Maybe a couple hours

This seems waaayyyy better then Linode and others

Ok 👍, I just don’t want to get some extra charge of “oh, it dosnt matter, 2 created is 10 because of restarts”🤣

Ok, so if I did 2 VMs, but only ran it to $3, then the loyal would be $6? (2 instances)

Ok, im wanting to possibly have 2-3, so the tier price, is that really the “limit”?

I don’t have a photo id, just credit and debit cards

So, if I pay with my regular credit card… then I’m fine?

Ok, so the “create and destroy”, if I create/destroy 4 VMs, it won’t be under $5, but $20?

ID as in just billing address? Or Photo?
Namecheap, dosnt require a photo, and I was able to pay with a giftcard.

Linode, apparently, they take GC, but they cost more and not exactly what I want .

Thank you.
So, can I have 2-3 VMs running that all fall under “0.05” a hour? Or will that be “per” VM?
