A different alternative could be that we finally move forward with some sort of TDE

about this long ago), then we can properly setup a donation link (which currently still

Thoughts?
Hi Michael,
Here you go:
(1) I operate a VPS which is mostly used as a TDE mirror. It
has 4GB RAM and 800GB disk space. Regular price is $138.36
but discounts are often available and I got this with a 50%
discount for $69.18/annum which is reasonable. It's probably
the third VPS I've used for a TDE mirror - every few years I
search for better bargains.
(2) Separately and unrelated to TDE another VPS I operate has a
forwarding mechanism such as you describe to a low-traffic
home server. I use a combination of openVPN, iptables and
proxy ARP - and an additional public IP. You might do it
without renting an additional public IP but it would be
complicated and require use of non-standard ports for
conflicting services.
(3) The disadvantage to home-based mirrors is that every user
download is an upload over your home bandwidth which is often
limited. If I tried to run a mirror at home it would kill
our streaming (Roku) but others may have more home bandwidth
than we do.
