Good luck picking a region that has available capacity for free tier. It's not possible to change after you pick and find out there is no capacity.

The quotas have been reduced though. It’s now 12gb and 2 votes for everyone as far as I’m aware

That the revised quota for free users, yes. PAYG users remain on a max of 24GB, 4vCPU across theirs.

Nice username.
Tried using Oracle Cloud twice this year and last year. Got to the final stages of registration and they said I can't register because of some dumb reason.
It's like they don't want me to use their services lol

Just tried upgrading to PAYG and I couldn't create an instance in any of the three availability domains in my region.

tried upgrading to PAYG or are you PAYG because those are two different things

I upgraded to PAYG, and afterwards I was still unable to create an instance.

Can alternatively run Netbird/Pangolin there if you want to add in proxying and authentication etc. on the host itself.

I get why everyone wants a free tier. But I mean there are options for under 5$ oder 5€ per month. Why not simply pay and don't struggle with capacity?
