    Really the only safe, cheap and sustainable way nowadays is to use docker + gluetun + mullvad VPN (or your preferred VPN.

    VPNs are cheap and they're worth it.

    Haven't used docker myself yet but keep seeing it talked about with servers, am I right in that if you have a working configuration if docker gluetun (with a vpn) you could share some sort of file that would let others setup theirs in the same way semiautomatically?
