How exactly does one self host a worldwide network of proxy servers?
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2023/09/23/make-your-own-vpn-freebsd-wireguard-ipv6-and-ad-blocking-included/
But does this only create one node, or does it create dozens of them in each country?
Because I use a VPN so I can have anonymous exit nodes in whatever country I want. Happy to be corrected, but I don't think that's self-hostable.
My main self hosting point was for email. :)
How do you send email tho? Its my understanding that hosting is easy, but major providers will assume you are spam and block? Or do you just receive?
