VPS for Wireguard that's not blocked everywhere (lemmy.world)

Yes I know I'm defeating the purpose of a VPN by using a static IP that's solely attached to me, that's not why I'm using my own.

The issue I'm having is that a good number of sites see these IPs and block or captcha them. My current one is not on any lists and I still have it caught for some sites like Etsy or Lowe's even.

I've been reading that an AWS lightsale instance might work, is this the only option or is it going to have blocks by cloudflare as well.

They're not blocking me though, they're blocking spam IPs based off blacklists from cheap VPSs that allow spammers to spin up a cheap VPS and go ham for a month. No clue how that's Lowe's fault for adopting industry standard IP filters.
