hello @sanvit
best bet for low cost quality may be @freerangecloud in Fremont ($15 yearly) or IonSwitch in Seattle ($17.50 yearly) if either of those locations do well for connection to South Korea.
Lots of stuff in LA - can't think of much in the way of current deals for 512 MB but might take a close look at CrownCloud (they are good quality and may be willing/able to do a 1 GB KVM in Quadranet DC for $25 per year)
Next up if you can work a slicelet in Las Vegas, that would be $20 per year. InceptionHosting in Phoenix might still have a 512 MB / 100 GB storage offer for €13 per year (which possibly could work okay for your use).
For more possibilities, here's a recent-ish post on some providers I know about offering service in western US https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2971365/#Comment_2971365
tl;dr:
LA: CrownCloud, HostHatch, LetBox, UltraVPS.eu, VirMach (maybe also check @HostEONS, they seem okay. Also, SmartHost offers LA location.)
Fremont: freerangecloud, bandwagonhost
San Jose: VirMach
Seattle: ionswitch, spartanhost, subnetlabs
Phoenix: InceptionHosting (also Wishosting, and recently HostDoc)
Las Vegas: BuyVM (also AnyNode and SmartHost)
EDIT2:
A couple more options in Los Angeles - cloudcone and vmhaus both offer hourly billed KVM in Los Angeles, so you might be able to test how they work for you without spending too much to find out.
If you're not particular on the port and are happy with NAT, why not take a look at @mikho's MrVM out of Singapore? I assume that latency would be better than the US-West.
Price and BW wise, I'm pretty sure US-West will be better overall (esp. for non-NAT based setups). Asia isn't exactly LEB pricing.
I've contacted AnyNode to see if we can make out a deal. Thanks
I do love @mikho's LES, but since I'm going to use as a DNS server, port 53 is mandatory. Thanks for the recommendation though
Depending on how you have things setup, usually you can have an internal (within the home/LAN) DNS forwarder (like dnsmasq) which listens on port 53 from clients, but forwards requests to another server on a different port. Also, if you have dnsmasq locally, you can probably easily setup a few blacklists directly as well. Of course depending on your setup, I understand the port 53 issue.
Good luck though - I'm sure there are lots of good options if you consider US-West.

Can you re-enable OVZ50OFF promo code please?
Hi
Sorry right now it's not possible as we are very low on stock for OVZ
@sanvit
DNS-over-TLS use 853 port.
I recommend read this: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/issues/769
That doesn't change the fact that I need a dedicated IP. And since I'll set it up on my router, I need port 53
Edit : Gave that issue a quick read. I never thought that people will target open DNS servers, but it does make sense
people/bot will scanning the entire internet. everything is target.
you can limit the dns for your ISP ASN/IPRange. if you got static IP, you only need to whitelist that ip
I believe you can install Pihole on a cheap NAT vps with OpenVPN installed, and have Pihole installer bind to tun0 only. (I haven't tested this config myself since I have only one NAT vps)
Both your traffic and DNS requests would go through it.
(this is not a big issue for me since most of my internet surfing transits Singapore , so that's where I have my Openvpn+Pihole )
Yep. This is a big no-no. Bind to a private interface or openvpn's tun0
Thanks for the tip! It looks like I should go with @sibaper's way, since creating an openvpn will add up an additional 200ms of latency and I have to manually setup all devices to use it.
Thanks everyone
@sanvit
Alternative solution: Buy a raspberry pi and use on lan.
I was thinking of that too, but I can't seem to find a place to put it, plus my router's lan port is full
try your darkest corner in the basement
Sir, gigabit switches are cheap as a mofo. Get anything that costs $15-$30, and boom - you got at least 4 extra ports to play with :-)
Even pihole on pi connected by wifi will be have less delay then server across Pacific
