I'd say the proven good ones are Proton, Mullvad, and IVPN.
Windscribe has really improved a lot and is worth considering. Still probably worth waiting for Freshscribe infrastructure before considering over the 3 I mentioned above.
Nym and Obscura are up and comers worth looking at. Nym is a decentralized VPN and Obscura has partnered with Mullvad to offer a true double hop (ie one in where both hops are not owned by the same entity).
If I'm not mistaken the big missing privacy feature vs privacy.com is that you are still required to provide your real name and other accurate details as part of the transaction process.
I'll give this a go and report back! Appreciate the help.
EDIT: still get GPU errors when the script tries to run the containers.
Thanks!
I've been running into issues currently with nvidia drivers causing an error, which in turn causes the script to fail when trying to create the containers.
Sounds pretty similar to windows. Now I just have to learn how to use fedora and get everything installed correctly 😂
Thanks so much, will let you know once I'm able to get through it (hopefully this week).
The only thing I don't see here that I was thinking of trying is to integrate in Real debrid via the rdt client. Which seems like it should work basically the same way as it does for Plex on Windows. Any thoughts?
Excited to check this out. I was literally just searching around for something similar as I want to transition from a Plex media server on Windows to a Jellyfin one on Fedora
For the past 5ish years I had google WiFi pucks (gen 1, ac1200). 4 pucks, one as the router 3 as APs. 3/4 pucks were wired.
Switched over to using a NanoPi R4S (4GB version) as my router and 2x ZyXEL NWA50AX Pros for my APs. The cost for this is actually right around OPs budget, maybe a bit over.
The biggest improvements, in terms of speed for me, are devices that are WiFi 6 capable now getting much better wireless speeds (not super surprising), some going from around 200mbps to about 600mbps.
To be clear there there are over 30 devices on my network spread over 2000 sqft so I am a bit reluctant to reduce everything to a couple of speed tests when there are other factors involved.
Interesting. When I upgraded from WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 it was a significant upgrade but there are a ton of other factors that play into what actual speeds a user may get.
I was more just interested in getting more details about OPs needs as OP basically only provided a budget, which makes it a bit difficult to give advice.
It might be helpful to specify your network needs. The system you linked is a WiFi 5 system. That's 10+ year old technology.
What kind of speeds are you looking for? Will your access points be wired or wireless?
