Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • My home internet connection is behind CGNAT and I cannot change my provider easily to one that does give me a fixed IPv4.
  • ISP does not offer public IP for free, I would have to switch to a different tier that is about 10x the price of a very small vps
  • self hosted setup is behind CGNAT without a public IP address
  • Not having a static IPV4 Address (or a dedicated IPV4 address at all).
  • my-home-bandwidth-is-absolutely-shithouse
  • Not having good internet (upload speed) at home is another.
  • data is going from your media server to the VPS, and then out again to the client therefore doubling the amount of data that's taken up. Overages can get expensive
  • Just be aware that you can't use them for video streaming like Jellyfin as it goes against tutor ToS.
