I'd have thought you'd want to use a VPS located here in the UK, then you'll have no connection problems and it will have a faster response time to the BF servers than if it was located in an eastern European country or even further away
Yeah most will want a UK based VPS but I want one that falls within the definition of "Offshore" as I'm using it for many things other than BA/Betfair/betting related! and that doesn't mean Isle of White! And as I said in my earlier post I should be just across the North Sea in Amsterdam assuming they have located me as requested. I'm not a trader so I'm not so interested in sharpest speed, the betting reason for the VPS is to run 24/7 software easily accessible from anywhere.
I often travel outside the EU (and maybe always if these MPs get their fingers out) where data can be expensive . Data in the UAE, Philippines, Seychelles can cost £5 per MB … yes MB! … with BT and yes I can get a local SIM card which I do but mobile data can still be expensive (Seychelles is £25 for 2GB) and you then need two phones since dual SIM phones became difficult to source because of the drug runners. The last time I needed to use the Internet while on a long haul flight it was £9.20 per MB So the more I can get done on the VPS and just use my device as a window on the VPS the less data usage from my device. I don't want to use my PC at home with a "GoTo" app because there will be nobody to re-boot it if needed and I find Win10 starts to slow up when you have databases running because of all the clutter they leave around and can cause it to freeze if a large data mine. At least with a VPS I have access to experts who can repair it if needed. But for most I agree with your point and if I cannot get BA to work on my VPS I will probably look for the cheapest, smallest resourced VPS in the UK and use it exclusively for BA.
I'm going to Holland on Thursday so will see if I have difficulties connecting to Betfair. If not then that leaves me confused why I cannot connect with BA because the link you gave advises Betfair is useable in both Holland and USA and my VPS should be based in Holland but may use a node in USA so I can't see the problem.
