@oliver__ai @samuel_yostt Yup that's a data center one. But this is the cheapest way I could find.

[Usama Kashif @itsusamak]

@oliver__ai @samuel_yostt U get free $5 on new digital ocean account so u can try this setup for free

It's working for me
Getting the us audience around 70%

[Usama Kashif @itsusamak]

@oliver__ai @samuel_yostt Hey
Here's the setup I use
I got a droplet on digital ocean ($4)
And installed wireguard on it

Using an android device.
Do a factory reset
Remove the SIM card
Turn of location and auto time select.

Then install the wireguard app on the phone and connect it to that droplet.

the app is now in closed testing.
will test it on different devices before promoting it to prod.

next I'll start with the landing page and also creating the playstore screenshots.

any free tool for screenshot generation?
