Just a suggestion but maybe inform viewers that this requires a credit card(valid one with $ on it) so people without a card don't have to sit half way through this video.

I stumbled on this video by chance and I watched it from start to finish, thanks to your no bs approach, clear and concise explanation and easy to follow instructions. Up until I watched this video, I've never heard anything about oracle free tier. I can't believe something awesome like this can ever be free, in the era of montly subscriptions everywhere. I now have a working openvpn server kudos to you.

Hi,

What a great video! Some of my friends live in India, and I always see them using VPN to access certain sites. I think they will appreciate this video a lot. I think they use some paid VPNs to access some sites, and with your help, they will be able to save a lot of money and still get to access these sites. Your video was really helpful, and the process seem easy to follow. I will definitely share this within my network to help my friends.

I just wantred to say thank you for this fast tutorial, no issues with setup. HOWEVER, if, like me, you are wanting this to set up an instance in another country so you can watch their content, the throughput is AWEFUL. I got around 60 KB/S down and 600 B/S Up... yes you are reading that right, LOL. Oh well. Didn't cost me anything to try.

Took me a few to get this to work (since the video certain locations in Putty has changed) however this will be useful for when I setup my homeserver. Don't want people to have direct access to my location, and speeds seem to be plenty for what I plan on doing.
