Hi,
I’ve been running a Davis Weather Station in a remote area for about 16 years connected through windows to a Synology DSM running Webstation. I get about 20-30 visitors to it a day. Various ISP’s have been used. The latest (Amuri.net) is blocking port80 incoming calls and after installing Starlink (Cgnat), I had mixed results with Cloudflare and tunnelling. As it is at a holiday residence, I don’t wish to pay business rates for a Starlink IP4 number so Starlink is back on hold at the moment. Public access to the DSM webserver is obtained through port 8080 so certification of the site is impossible. It all still works, but I’d like to find a more elegant solution.
My thoughts are perhaps giving VPS a go and as Voyager are registrants for my two domain names, wonder whether to try them out. As the weather data (and 2 cameras) updates at least every 5 minutes, the windows PC running the station needs a 24/7 connection to the VPS (through a mapped drive??). Does anyone know if this is indeed possible? Can anyone with experience with 1stDomains VPS (or any other provider) advise me on the matter?
Tony C.
