Regular price is $138.36 but discounts are often available and I got this with a 50% discount for $69.18/annum which is reasonable. It's probably the third VPS I've used for a TDE mirror - every few years I search for better bargains. (2) Separately and unrelated to TDE another VPS I operate has a forwarding mechanism such as you describe to a low-traffic home server. I use a combination of openVPN, iptables and proxy ARP - and an additional public IP. You might do it without renting an additional public IP but it would be complicated and require use of non-standard ports for conflicting services. (3) The disadvantage to home-based mirrors is that every user download is an upload over your home bandwidth which is often limited. If I tried to run a mirror at home it would kill our streaming (Roku) but others may have more home bandwidth than we do. --Mike
A different alternative could be that we finally move forward with some sort of TDE organization (we had some talks about this long ago), then we can properly setup a donation link (which currently still goes to Tim) and then use them to setup additional VPS to act as mirrors or extra developer tools.
Cheers Michele
