      How much space are you using with NextCloud? What kinds of content are you storing out there? Can't imagine you're streaming from it...

      We have a 500GB storage instance on Vultr for $20 a month. We primarily use it for sharing CAD drawings with customers.

          How are you getting it for $20 for 500GB? They are advertising $50/monthly, currently...

            @bbigford They have a "Storage Instance" tab that is always sold out, I was lucky enough to grab one like 6 months ago. They've been sold out every time I've logged in since then.

              I've only ever saw people using a VPS like Vultr, Linode, and Digital Ocean for FreePBX. First saw people on here using it for that, because of the very low cost. Wondering what people might be using a VPS for, beyond a PBX...

                      You can set up an email alert so that you know as soon as they are available. That's why the people without those alerts never see the option.

                          I never once saw an alert and I setup 2 different addresses. LOL

                            This is how I got mine too, although it only took me like a week. I signed up for the notifications multiple times and never once got an email from them.

                                PiHole really is great, definitely worth the $2.50/$5 a month.

                                  Was going to look at doing something like this when we were doing Arma3.

                                    In the case where you are using Windows AD, would you just put your DNS servers' forwarders as the Pi-hole server?

                                      Sadly for a lot of people, no web interface.

                                      It broke and nothing seems to brnig it back. Works fine, just no interface.

                                          That's really weird. I am surprised that it is not repairable.

                                            Sadly for a lot of people, no web interface.

                                            It broke and nothing seems to brnig it back. Works fine, just no interface.

                                            That's really weird. I am surprised that it is not repairable.

                                            Probably is, only put so much time into it. But the forums had lots of people with the issue and no clear fixes.
