2.5 TB isn't very much in a month, especially not for a proxy of a much bigger site. Vultr's bandwidth is notoriously tight for the price, too. I feel like this is the wrong service for that type of host.

Vultr wants me to complete a captcha just to view their website, which tells me an awful lot about them already.

Cloud pricing for bandwidth is really limiting for a lot of applications. For comparison you can get a 1gbit/s line with your server on OVH EU for about $100/mo, which you could utilize for a theoretical ~321TiB/mo total transferred

It's a lot more than my little personal server usually uses in a month though.

It's sure a cost for someone used to working with aws though.

Glad to see this has been resolved since then, on the official repository https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/pull/631

I am considering running a public instance for personal use and this was one of my concerns as well

nitter.net is an official Nitter instance (and most overloaded) known to be rate limited. But report to devs to check if there is other case or bug.[0]

Meanwhile try another Nitter instance.[1,2]

Try hosting a piped(YouTube) instance :) Also just use Hetzner, Vultur pricing is outrageous

BuyVM offers a plan comparable to their 12 dollar one for 7 dollars, and you get at least 16 TB of monthly bandwidth. I say 'at least' because they do not cut you off, and throttling is manually done and a last resort.

From a quick visit, Hetzner's advantage is ram size.

For 9.70€ you get 8gb on Hetzner but only 4Gb on the 15$ plan on BuyVM.
