When we moved, my wife was looking for an electric scooter to get to the train station for a commute to work. When we considered the weight and practicality in bad weather, we found new Dacia Spring 2023 model for 14,000 € in sales. It's a game changer since we charge it exclusively at home for about 1 € per 200 km range. There is virtually no maintenance. Having a VW Passat diesel for longer trips, we cannot be happier.
VPN services are just someone else's computers. Any cloud provider with a low performance virtual machine can become a VPN gateway using Linux distribution of your choice for around $4.
OpenVPN or WireGuard are my tools of choice. Professionally, I also use OpenVPN's EasyRSA PKI framework for certificates, but you can just generate your keys using any tutorial out there. "OpenVPN Cookbook" ebook from Packt is my go to source. For performance reasons, WireGuard is better.
I'd like to point at CALL, a CPU instruction, and its origins. I'm not familiar with this, but it could reveal more than programming languages. The instruction is present at least since first intel microprocessors and microcontrollers were designed.

To elaborate further, I did have delivery issues with some big providers first, until I implemented all recommended DNS and signing standards. After this was done, there were no issues for all those years.
I have no delivery issues - see my updated message above - and I'm providing the service to my small company, my family and running automated services for other companies.
As a former tech staff member at one European dating site, around year 2010 and originated in Germany, the numbers are much worse for paying customers. The numbers presented here are still overly optimistic. The company's owner at that time told me that they know of ONE couple that got married. They were in service for a few years already at the time. Their whole business model was investing about 100 thousand Euros monthly in ads and getting 300 thousand back.
Good job, Donald.
Now, more tariffs, please.
