Cloudflare's 2nd greatest gift to humanity - WARP

When something like this is free, you (and your vps') are the product. Lol

i must admit, using a VPN to power up your VPS is a very interesting and quite a powerful concept. at least IMHO. so.. seeing how this thread is still having action, I want to see if maybe somebody has any info on the following:

how to do the same relatively easily for other VPNs?

lets say I have a VPN access which gives me a config file for either OpenVPN or WireGuard. maybe I should try exploring this? sounds quite fascinating..

so far in 3 months i've been thru 110 different VPS-es, tinkering with locations, found this PQ hosting with nearly 45 different places to get a VPS "from".. so far I did give up maybe 25-30 VPS servers due to initially brutally overusing them.. i have learnt for my business now to actually slowly introduce new VPS with new CloudFlare region, or turn it on and off, etc.. so needs a bit of a play..

ps funny i should say.. lots of my sites are being overused with automation, making my bottom line thinner and thinner.. and here I am experimenting, trying not to get caught doing virtually the same... the difference is that i generate half a tbps of constant bandwidth use...

been trying and apparently it is extremely easy to install linux version of wireguard and simply give it the config you get from your VPN, then run

wg-quick up conf_filename

and your VPN is up on your VPS... BUT... here comes the problem.. since VPN takes over all the data-transfer stuff, on enabling it you instantly get disconnected from SSH and the only way now is to reboot VPS, so the only method here is either to know what you doing and somehow make sure you don't get dropped, there are instructions on that - i was not able to use them yet, doesn't work for me, but if you have a VNC connection or similar, where you are virtually are typing into the server, not using SSH or anything, - then it doesn't drop you on VPN startup, so that works... i was able to enable my VPN provider on my VPS. but that's where again i found a wall... like a firewall... basically same stuff - cannot make DANTED work to accept connections... seems maybe that the way is to contact your VPN access point instead, somehow, or to set it up in your network, or something... gonna be trying..

again, the task is to enable any VPN on any VPS (using wireguard or openvpn) and to be able to use it remotely as proxy

if you mean to be able to use VPN without assigning an IP (like anyone can use it), you can look for "Squid proxy server".
but, i don't know if may work with Warp (not tested).
