    I’d give Hetzner a try. The VPS they offer come with 20TB of bandwidth and they only count outgoing traffic(bottom of this page is the source -> https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/general/traffic/) One thing to note with Hetzner VPS is the port speed is not guaranteed to be 1G only on their dedicated servers is 1G guaranteed. In my experience with their VPS I always got over 500M so is wasn’t an issue. I’ve since moved to a dedicated server in Finland for the horse power and the flexibility of running my own VM platform(Proxmox)

    There’s also Netcup but I’ve never used them so can’t speak to quality but I’ve heard good things about them.

    Edit: totally forgot to mention BuyVM. I have one of their 1GB VPS in Luxembourg. Speed is good to Finland but not so great to Canada but that’s not their fault. More to do with latency which is to be expected given the distance.

    Mandos and wireguard inside initramfs.

    Wireguard connects to a cloud VPS that acts as the mandos server and then grabs the key from mandos.

    All my systems are protected by LUKS aside from /boot which in my case simply holds the wireguard config and what’s required to get the key from mandos. Yes this leaves the wireguard keys exposed but I’m not concerned since in my case they’re only good for this purpose and it’s easy to disable a peer. Plus the VPS has nftables rules that only allow traffic on the wireguard interface to a single port that the mandos server listens on.
