cloudblock VS algo

https://github.com/chadgeary/cloudblock Another one which you can use but with less work

2.) Cloudblock I use OCI's free tier.

It looks like you choose a DNS over HTTPS provider, and it defaults to OpenDNS.

/u/chadgeary made cloudblock which was super easy to setup with his tutorials

I’d recommend Oracle, as they have a free tier that should cover your use case. If your interested check out Step-by-step cloud deployment - Wireguard VPN

if you want to run it in the cloud, for free, and not rely on anything at home, use cloudblock and run it on oracle cloud infra, they have a forever free tier that i have been using for years.

https://github.com/chadgeary/cloudblock/ or https://github.com/chadgeary/cloudoffice/ are both fun projects

In case you're feeling ambitious, you can take a look at this project which is designed to make it easy to deploy your own ad-blocking VPN on a cloud server. Watch one of the step-by-step videos linked to on that page (like this one for Oracle Cloud) to see if it's something you'd feel comfortable setting up.

Since we're already presuming you have a functional PFSense box with Wireguard installed and a VPS stood up, now you need to get Algo installed on the VPS. I'm not going to write this part out in detail, but basically you need to follow the procedures here to get Algo installed. However, *before* running ./algo you probably want to edit some of the config.cfg settings. I disabled IPSec (which saves a bunch of package installs and prevents a bunch of failures I saw on some of my VPSs), set my reduce_mtu setting to 80 just to prevent any MTU issues down the line, turned off DNS encryption, and renamed my users to the servers in question (for example: pfsense, vps_server, etc)

Check out the command line args for Auto1111, it talks about a gradio setup that can be accessed remotely. There's a time limit on gradio links though, I think. You could also set up a vpn that will allow you to access your PC remotely, then run A1111 with the --listen command and access it that way. I've done this with an Algo VPN on Azure and a Wireguard client for Windows for Android, but any VPN that lets you access your PC remotely would work.

One way you could try to get around is building your own VPN service, like this: https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/README.md

Things I have tried so far: Clear network cache and reset adapters - IDK it fix aprevious problem I had https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/discussions/14504

(I can simply install Algo and get the Wireguard tunnel working, easy peasy... But from there, I can never get Plex port 32400 open... so I'm just trying from scratch now...)

Maybe try running algo vpn (following the road-warrior setup) in a VM instead? It has very light requirements. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/deploy-to-ubuntu.md
