Self-host WireGuard or OpenVPN on a Pulsar67 VPS. Full root, full bandwidth, and logs you can inspect or disable because you control the server.
Every commercial VPN says they don't log. You can't audit that. The IP they sell you is shared with thousands of others, and it's already on most "VPN" blocklists.
A self-hosted WireGuard server on a VPS you control gives you a dedicated IP, kernel-speed crypto, full control of the logs, and a one-line setup. Total cost: less than a coffee.
Full KVM virtualization means the WireGuard kernel module loads. Sub-millisecond handshakes, line-rate throughput.
A dedicated IPv4 not shared with 10,000 strangers. Not pre-blocked by Netflix / banks / your work.
Want zero logging? Disable it. Want a connection log for forensics? Keep it. It's your machine.
Not "unlimited" with a hidden throttle. Plans include documented 1-20 TB caps, and we email at 90%.
WireGuard barely touches the CPU. Pick a plan with the bandwidth you actually need.
WireGuard's setup is famously short. Tools like wireguard-install handle most of it.
fail2ban, ufw, and a SSH key - standard hardeningNote: VPN for personal use or trusted user groups is fully allowed. Public-facing VPN services with anonymous signup need to coordinate with us in advance - see our AUP.
BTC and ETH accepted. We never ask for payment data we don't need.
WireGuard private key lives only on your box. We can't see your traffic even if we wanted.
You're never the bottleneck. WireGuard hits line rate on a 1 vCPU instance.
Not on the major "VPN abuser" blocklists. Streaming services and banks won't immediately bounce you.
Spin up a VPS, install WireGuard, point your phone at it. Done in five minutes.
Concrete setup details for the first deploy, the firewall, and the first thing to check when something acts strange.
WireGuard defaults to UDP 51820. OpenVPN commonly uses UDP 1194. Keep SSH restricted to your admin IP when possible.
Nano is enough for personal VPN use. Starter is better for several users or if you run monitoring and DNS on the same VPS.
Enable IP forwarding, configure NAT, set DNS intentionally, and keep client private keys off shared machines.
If the tunnel connects but traffic fails, check AllowedIPs, NAT masquerade, sysctl forwarding, and provider-side firewall rules.
