I got a special deal at a VPS provider for $1/mo for 1vCPU and 256MB RAM. With only Wireguard running, I experience no issues whatsoever. RAM usage is minimal, sub 100MB, I forget the particulars. I added unbound with a huge DNS blacklist and unbound must do some odd indexing or something because that blew it to around 400MB which required a swap drive. But even with that, the performance is more than fine. I notice no discernible performance loss on my phone and from my 1Gbps connection at home, I see speeds that are comparable with saturating the network of the VPS (~200Mbps).

Can you share more information on the deal? Or is it something you managed to get specially?
It was a promotional deal and I haven't let the lease on the VPS lapse. I didn't know what to do with it at first, but it was too good of a deal to pass up.
