At this point, I'm not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

Interesting. Is it a free VPS or something? Your VPS provider most likely isn't the same company that owns the datacenter.

My VPSs are in different parts of the world and they're in datacenters owned by different companies. My VPSs are not expensive either.

You must have good VPS's then. Mine are all lowendbox-level $2-3/mo ones. But, even though I don't have nor use either, I'm pretty sure that both reddit and netflix would tell you to get bent if you try to connect via ec2 or any other major cloud provider.

Also, free VPS's?? That a thing?

Mine are about that price too. Maybe it's just luck.

There are some free tier serverless options and such. I've never had a play as I've always feared getting a 50k bill without realising it.

Not a free VPS at all. I would look into it, but I don't remember the biggest datacenters being in that country.
