I’m aware most ISPs do not allow for port 25 to be open for email use outside of business licenses, but at what level is that controlled? Can I get around that by owning my own router? Owning my own modem or ONT? Or is this just a thing they mystically control further up the pipeline that a relative layman such as myself can’t get around?
hoppy.network seems like a very expensive Wireguard provider ($8/month for 1TB@100mbit). For that purpose one can spend half that for a VPS with gigabit speeds, even a quarter that during promotions. That provides the same services plus whatever else you can fit to it. What am I missing that they provide?
Also, depending on the VPS provider, you might get a lot of sites blocked. When I ran a VPN on Digital Ocean I couldn’t access USPS, OpenAI, imgur, and couldn’t leave comments on YouTube. I assume because of too many bots running on DO.

I like supporting small business. 🙂
