- It's very easy to host a few virtual machines in a cloud at no cost at all. When you don't have a dedicated home server with proxmox or alternatives. Spin up a virtual machine in the cloud and access if from anywhere.

Didn't notice how small this channel was until 5 minutes in, keep up the good work
Thank you very much for feedback :)
same here
TLDR; there are no free servers available.
Thanks, you saved me 12 minutes
@@_Niels__ TLDR; there's one on Oracle and GCP with some caveats.
If you manage to sign up to OCI, then there is. And if you use GCP correctly, you can also have a free server. But as mentioned “with caveats” you need to be careful with outband traffic. However it’s perfect for small things and testing
@@DmitryLambertTech Managed to sign uo with Oracle. The first 2 initiations of an instance failed and although I deleted them every new attempt would now be charged.
so, this video title is fake and misleading.
Really good work.. keep going
Thank you much ❤️
Actually googled for some hours to come up with same conclusion described here in 10 minutes. GCP showing estimated cost $7 while it is free ec2-micro was really confusing for me. Thank you.
Glad it helped you :)
i have the oracle cloud set up here in aus and it works amazing. i use it to run 3 minecraft servers and its free. i feel the error you might be having could be fixed with a vpn
You might be right, I do know people who also use oci free VMs. But yes… I tried numerous times from work and home and failed to sign up
@@DmitryLambertTech Oracle has massive capacity issues for this free tier, new (non-paying) customers have almost no chance. However, if you sign-up as a paying customer and stay within the limits of the free-tier, it should still work.
can you run it 24/7 for months or is there a limits?
@@user-lm8ye4fw9u I've been running mine 24/7 for over a year now with no issues
I have OCI and never looked back. The only issue is you cannot just hold the VM without doing anything cos they will claim them back. So make sure you have something running, even a light load
Thank you for sharing
which region do you have
and can you still make a1 ampere instances?
@@shibanakano According to their email:
- Data Region: OPC-GLOBAL
- Data Center: EMEA
I currently don't have Ampere instances but I had them in the past. I'm currently using 2 AMD nodes only
This isn't exactly true about AWS. I use the free tier on AWS and you can get the smallest EC2 instance on there. It gives you exactly the hours to keep it live 24/7 for one month. The only catch there is the storage for that instance is on the free for one year tier. So you have to be careful to configure it without persistent storage.
You are right, BUT, according to aws page this works for 12 months only
@@DmitryLambertTech Yes you're right, looks like I'm wrong. I wonder if they changed it recently. Thanks for correcting me!
Could the Google Cloud compute vm be used to make a pihole that can be accessed anywhere?
Sure you can access your vm from any place
@@DmitryLambertTech good to know, I'll add the video to my watch later to remind me 🙂 thanks
No! Not without a lot of proper setup and security know how. Hosting any DNS resolver publicly is the perfect platform for DOS attacks and is generally bad practice. Look into VPN options such as WireGuard or Tailscale, they can accomplish the same thing
@@robertbordeaux How exactly?
does any attacker know their DNS' IP ? How would they dos it ?
@@robertbordeaux I see yea good point. I do have a pihole running at home on an actual pi, and to access the filtering anywhere I have Openvpn running on it too. Just sometimes would be nice to not be limited by my home broadband upload speed. 🙂
I also tried oracle can't sign up
While sign up for gcp alwyz it gives m error in payment method i used multiple debit cards
make sure that address matches
Awesome Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴
Nothing is free in this life.
If it’s not costing money, it’s costing something else.
If you got it free! someone paid for it.
Nothing is free. Everything has to be paid for.
Usually your private credential to third-party seller.
I believe that in this case it is calculated “free”, meaning that in the end enough of those who use a free VM eventually purchase something else.
When you are always on the platform it’s sort of tempting to purchase something for the ease of use
what happens if you go over 1gb? Do they charge you? Is there a way to prevent it or stop it so I don't get changed?
You have to pay for exceeded traffic, but only for outbound and outside of VM region
What if you exceed 1GB, and you have card with no money registered?
@@replikvltyoutube3727 I think it is called debt :)
@@DmitryLambertTech I once accidentally got like $300 in debt for GCE and I talked to google support and they waived it for me as a one-time courtesy. I still do not remember how I got it, I probably forgot to turn something off and it was so long ago that I forgot whatever it was that I forgot about. Still, Google is pretty not bad
Um, it's Amazon. And you expect them to not sell your data, use it to their advantage, etc.???😆
I guess that’s the world we live in
