I ran this script on a node 2 years ago and haven't had to touch it since, it's been a fully-working, reliable VPN for my whole family for $2.50/mo and 10min of my time for initial setup: https://github.com/jawj/IKEv2-setup

I've been looking for something like this, thank you. Do you mind sharing what type of hosting you use, and what kind of VPN traffic it supports?

If you're interested in setting up your own VPN, take a look at streisand [0].

Also, running the VPN in a docker container is rather nice. There are a bunch of existing containers for that[1].

Oh, and if you're interested, Aruba Cloud [2] offers a 1 Core, 1GB ram VM in CZ and IT for 1 Euro/month. It comes with more than enough bandwidth for personal use.

Note that I've made a mistake with the first link. It should have been https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand

For $2.5, I guess it's Vultr.

vultr.com, and it's an IPSec tunnel, so it supports all traffic, not just HTTP.
