VPS for a personal VPN

A personal VPN needs three things: an exit you control, a protocol that does not waste the CPU, and a host country you chose on purpose. A Nano with the WireGuard stack in Amsterdam delivers all three for €1.90 per month.

SPEC · 4 SHEETS

What this workload needs

Four properties that matter for this job, and how the recommended plan covers each one.

01

WireGuard wg-easy, deployed in about a minute

The stack image installs WireGuard with the wg-easy web admin, which means adding a phone or laptop is a QR code, not a twenty-line config file. The crypto runs in-kernel, so a single Nano vCPU is not even breathing.

02

An exit you control, in a country you picked

Forty-one sites in thirty-two countries at one flat price. Pick by latency for speed, or by jurisdiction for principle — the Netherlands has no data-retention law, which is why Amsterdam is the most-chosen exit in the fleet.

03

No identity check at the door

This is the part most VPN sellers cannot offer: we do not know your name, and we never asked. An email address and a crypto payment open the account, and the acceptable use policy is what governs the traffic — not a dossier.

04

Traffic that does not disappear at month three

The Nano includes 2 TB of monthly traffic on a 1 Gbit/s port, and inbound is unmetered. When the term ends, renewal is at the current rate or lower — VPN pricing that does not staircase is rare enough to be a feature.

DATA SHEET · CONDENSED

The short version

Recommended
Nano (€1.90/mo) with the WireGuard stack — 2 TB traffic covers a personal tunnel's month many times over.
Exit choice
Amsterdam for no data-retention law, Frankfurt for peering, Zurich for Swiss jurisdiction — same price everywhere.
Devices
wg-easy hands out configs for unlimited peers; realistically a household or small team runs on one Nano.
Not a service
We are not a VPN provider and do not claim to be. You operate the tunnel; we operate the server underneath it.
DDoS on your endpoint
Standard volumetric filtering is included, which quietly matters more for VPN endpoints than most people expect.

Q&A · REV. C

Questions people ask

Four answers per solution, and each one is the same answer support would give you.

Is running my own VPN legal in these countries?
Hosting a VPN is legal in every country we operate in, and the acceptable use policy explicitly allows it. What differs is what happens around it: the Netherlands imposes no logging duty, Switzerland sits outside the EU, and UAE law restricts consumer VPN use — which is why the policy pages name the exceptions.
Which site should I pick for my exit?
Choose by who you want to appear to be, then by latency. Amsterdam and Zurich are the popular picks for privacy-minded exits; Frankfurt for low latency across Europe; London, New York, Tokyo and Seoul for appearing local to those countries' services.
How much traffic does a personal VPN actually use?
A heavily used personal tunnel — laptops, phones, the odd 4K stream — typically lands between 100 and 400 GB a month. The Nano's 2 TB is a multiplier of several, and if you somehow exhaust it, traffic resets monthly with the term.
WireGuard is fast, but is it the best choice for me?
For a personal VPN, almost always. If you need application-level filtering, ad-blocking DNS or multi-user management, wg-easy plus a Pi-hole container (see the Docker solution) covers it. If you need obfuscation against deep packet inspection, that is a different product than we sell.
