VPN Server Hosting
Run your own VPN on infrastructure you control
WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline, or a Tailscale exit-node — your IP, your country, no third-party logs, no shared bandwidth caps. Costs less than a Netflix sub.
Why VPSoto for vpn server hosting
Your logs, your rules
Commercial VPNs (NordVPN, ExpressVPN) have to comply with their host country's data-retention laws. A self-hosted VPN logs only what you tell it to.
Full bandwidth, no shared cap
Commercial VPN servers route thousands of users through one box. A self-hosted box gets your VPS's full 1–10 Gbps to itself.
Pick the country you need
Want a UK IP for BBC iPlayer? London. Need a Japan IP for Crunchyroll? Tokyo. Need to bypass workplace filtering? Frankfurt. 19 cities, your call.
Modern protocols out of the box
WireGuard is faster, simpler, and more battery-friendly than OpenVPN. We help with both. Tailscale exit-node turns your VPS into a personal Tailnet endpoint.
Pay in crypto if you want
Crypto checkout means your subscription isn't tied to a credit card. Real privacy starts at the billing layer.
What you'll need
- cpu
- 1 vCPU is enough for personal use (5–10 devices)
- ram
- 0.5–1 GB is plenty for WireGuard, 1–2 GB for OpenVPN with multiple clients
- storage
- 15–20 GB NVMe — VPN logs (if you keep any) are small
- bandwidth
- 1 TB covers heavy personal use; 3–5 TB if you stream 4K through it

Commercial VPN providers are a privacy paradox: you trust them with your traffic, and you have no way to verify they're keeping their no-logs promise. The 2018 Hide My Ass case (logs handed to the FBI), the 2020 UFO VPN data exposure (1.2 TB of logs leaked), and the 2024 ExpressVPN sale to Kape (a company with adware history) all showed the same problem: commercial VPNs are intermediaries you have to trust.
Self-hosted VPNs flip the trust equation: you trust your VPS provider (us, in this case) to not snoop on your kernel, which is the same trust everyone places in their cloud provider for any other workload. Pair WireGuard with crypto checkout and a fresh email, and you've got something genuinely private.
Setup takes about 10 minutes. WireGuard: install the package, generate a keypair, paste a 6-line config into the WireGuard app on your phone or laptop, you're connected. OpenVPN: a one-line script (Nyr's openvpn-install) gets you a working server with a downloadable .ovpn config file in 60 seconds. Outline (developed by Jigsaw at Google) gives you a friendly admin UI on top of Shadowsocks — useful for less-technical family members.
If you're already using Tailscale for personal devices, set your VPS as an exit node and route all your phone's traffic through it on demand. Same crypto, same provider, no extra config in the Tailscale app.
Frequently asked questions
- WireGuard or OpenVPN?
- WireGuard. It's 2x faster, the config is 6 lines instead of 60, mobile clients use far less battery, and it's been audited by the same teams that audit Linux kernel crypto. The only reason to pick OpenVPN today is if you're forced to obfuscate over TCP/443 to bypass deep packet inspection.
- Will Netflix work through my VPN?
- Sometimes. Streaming services blacklist datacenter IP ranges to prevent geo-bypass. Most consumer VPN providers cycle IPs daily to stay ahead. With a self-hosted VPN, your single IP gets blacklisted faster — but you can request a fresh IP from us if it does. Crypto checkout helps avoid the IP-history side of detection.
- Is hosting my own VPN legal?
- Running a VPN on your own VPS is legal in most jurisdictions. What you DO with it (e.g. circumventing copyright in a country that prohibits that) might not be. We don't provide legal advice — but the act of running an encrypted tunnel between your devices is fine in the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and most of the world.
- Can I share my VPN with family?
- Yes — WireGuard supports multiple peers (each device gets its own keypair). A 1 vCPU / 1 GB VPS comfortably handles a family of 5–10 devices. If you want a pretty admin UI, install wg-easy or wg-portal.
- Will my ISP know I'm using a VPN?
- They'll see encrypted traffic going to a single IP — they won't see what's inside. WireGuard's UDP traffic is detectable as 'this is a VPN'; if you need plausible deniability, run V2Ray or Trojan over TLS/443 (looks like HTTPS to a casual DPI engine). For most users in the US/EU, plain WireGuard is fine.
