VPN Server Hosting on Your Own VPS or Dedicated Server
Run WireGuard, OpenVPN or IPsec on a server only you use: full root access, a dedicated IPv4 exit address and DDoS protection included. VPS plans in Germany, the Netherlands and Romania from €8.10/mo, dedicated servers in 12 cities for VPN providers.
Pick the Server by What the VPN Carries
A VPN is a network workload first: the question is how many bytes go through the tunnel, not how many cores sit behind it. Start from who uses it.
A full-tunnel VPN moves each byte twice — in from the internet and out to your device — so size transfer generously. When in doubt, an unmetered plan takes the question off the table.
VPS Plans for WireGuard and OpenVPN
Every plan includes full root access, one dedicated IPv4 address, 20 Gbps DDoS protection and a choice of Germany, the Netherlands or Romania at checkout. Annual billing saves 10%, semi-annual 5%.
Metered VPS — 10 Gbps port
4–32 TB a month included · Linux VPS detailsUnmetered VPS — 1 Gbps port, no quota
2 or 4 Gbps at checkout · Unmetered VPS detailsNeed more transfer on a metered plan? Add 2 TB for €5, 10 TB for €15 or 100 TB for €100 a month at checkout. Up to two extra IPv4 addresses cost €3/mo each.
WireGuard, OpenVPN or IPsec — Your Server, Your Choice
Root access means no protocol is off the menu. These three cover almost every device and network you will meet.
WireGuard
UDP · any port, 51820 by conventionPart of the mainline Linux kernel since 5.6. A small codebase, fast handshakes, and tunnels that survive a switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data. The default choice for a new server.
OpenVPN
UDP 1194 by default · TCP 443 as a fallbackThe most widely supported option, with clients for every desktop and mobile OS and many routers. Over TCP 443 it gets out of hotel and office networks that block everything except HTTPS.
IPsec / IKEv2
UDP 500 and 4500Built into Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, so devices connect without installing an app. strongSwan is the usual server on Linux, and it is the standard for site-to-site links with office firewalls.

What a Private VPN Server Is Good For
Most self-hosted VPNs are about control rather than hiding: a known exit address, private services kept private, and networks joined on your terms.
A fixed IP for allowlists
Lock admin panels, databases and SaaS consoles to one address. The server’s IPv4 is yours alone, so the allowlist stays one line long.
Remote access to private services
Reach internal dashboards, Git and staging servers through the tunnel instead of exposing them to the whole internet.
Safer public Wi-Fi
Hotel and café networks see encrypted packets to your server — not the sites and services you actually use.
Site-to-site networking
Join offices, a home lab and cloud servers into one private network with WireGuard or IPsec, routed through a server you control.
Testing from an EU address
See how your site, ads and checkout behave for visitors in Germany, the Netherlands or Romania — or from any of the 12 dedicated-server cities.

Your Own VPN Server or a VPN Subscription?
Both are good tools for different jobs. If anonymity is the goal, a subscription wins — and this page will not pretend otherwise.
Dedicated Servers for Commercial VPN Networks
A VPN service is a fleet of exit nodes. Each node here is a whole server with an unmetered port, room for more IP space and DDoS mitigation in front of it.
Your users’ traffic leaves from your IP addresses, so the Terms of Services apply to it. Agree capacity, IP space and abuse handling with sales before launch.
