I recently thought about giving back a little to the syncthing community. After checking the relay stats i noticed that we don’t have a single relay in the south africa region but quite a few users.
Is the lower latency for these users worth the effort? And which VPS should i choose? I’m willing to spend up to $60/year.
For what it’s worth I used to run a relay in Johannesburg for a couple of years, using the smallest VM Hostafrica had available. That worked fine, though it didn’t see very much usage really. I had to cancel that for various reasons, so I think it would be a worthy cause to take up.
