That’s not quite what I meant; now I don’t use Nord but I think I recall from others on these forums they’re like over VPN providers in that they provide OVPN profile conf files in TCP or UDP connectivity. TCP is always going to be slower even w/ OVPN.
That’s a pretty specific need & it’s understandable why you’d choose Nord. I’m not aware of any other major player that still even offers port forwarding, let alone dedicated IPs… & I’m not sure I’d bother, anyways:
I’m not sure I’d even bother w/ Nord in your case. Another user on this form runs their own WG server, thereby a dedicated IP, on a Virtual Private Server provider called Hetzner. VPS providers are near a dime a dozen & range in price, features. Another well established provider is OVH. They have a major datacentre in Montreal, QC, Canada so I don’t think the geographic distance is going to be much of an issue if any.
(LowEndBox is a site/forum dedicated to reviewing VPS providers if you wanted more alternatives for choice.)
WireGuard setup, configuration, administration is all handled by Angristan’s software. WireGuard is quite easy to set up. It really is. Just yesterday I set up my GL Flint to act as a inter-LAN WG server for a spare GL device I had kicking around, a Certa:
(I had never set up a WG server before yesterday. While GL’s GUI makes it simple it really is just a matter of knowing which configuration files… which are nothing more than text files… to edit. Angristan’s software would handle that for you.)
