Hi all. Unfortunately my ISP's DPI operation has gotten pretty bad. Lots of unnecessary censorship and bad routing during peak hours, high ping etc. I already use Mullvad when I need to change my IP and I'm very happy with it. But to keep my speed high and still have an IP in the same country, I have decided on setting up WireGuard on a VPS with wstunnel to defeat the DPI. May also run dnscrypt-proxy on it and other services on it too.
I was wondering what should be the appropriate specs to choose on the VPS? Currently the cheapest (and default) option is 1 CPU core, 1GB RAM, 20GB SSD and 1TB traffic. Will that be enough? The OS options are also AlmaLinux 9 and Ubuntu 22.04, which should I choose?
I assume 1GB of RAM will be fine but I'm wondering if I should push for 2 CPU cores? 20GB of SSD is more than enough and 1TB traffic is just about what I use in any given month.
~~Also, for online multiplayer gaming which uses UDP packets, this won't work right? Do I also need udptunnel? Can wstunnel and udptunnel run at the same time. I'm a bit lost.~~ Nevermind, I guess wstunnel tunnels all traffic.
One more question, do I need more than one ip? Or will everything run over one public ip?
