VPN hosting. The log file that doesn't exist.
VPN hosting is the single most common workload on our platform, and the logic is simple: a commercial VPN asks you to trust its logging policy. Your own WireGuard server on a no-log offshore VPS removes the question — there is no policy to audit when the provider keeps nothing and never knew your name.
- WireGuard & OpenVPN fine
- 1 Gbps · unmetered on SV-Pro
- No logs · no KYC
- Crypto-only payments
One company fewer in the middle
Every commercial VPN sells the same sentence: "we don't keep logs." Sometimes they publish an audit, and the audit covers one month of one cluster, under terms the auditor chose. You are still trusting a policy — a promise that can change with ownership, jurisdiction or a quiet terms-of-service update.
A VPN on your own VPS replaces the promise with structure. VPSRento keeps no activity or connection logs, the account is a 24-character token shown once, payment is crypto-only via Paymento, and disk encryption is on by default. Nobody at VPSRento can hand over your browsing history for the same reason nobody can reset your token: we never had it.
And you are not renting someone else's oversold exit node. Every IP is checked against 40+ DNSBLs before assignment, the port is a clean 1 Gbps, and when the box feels slow you check one thing — your own usage — because nobody else is on it.
What a self-hosted VPN gets you
- No-log by structure, not by promise. No activity logs, no connection logs, nothing to subpoena.
- Crypto-only, no KYC. The account is a token; the payment is BTC, XMR, ETH, LTC, USDT or SOL.
- Clean IPs. Checked against 40+ blacklists before they ever reach you — streaming sites see a datacenter, not a flagged VPN exit.
- Unmetered on SV-Pro. 1 Gbps with no cap for heavy or always-on use — $19.99/mo.
- Multi-hop capable. Two VPS, two jurisdictions, chained tunnels. Entry Netherlands, exit Switzerland is a popular pair.
"Clean IPs actually matter for my work. Every VPSRento IP I've had passed 40 blacklist checks. That's rare."
Latency first, jurisdiction second
For a VPN you actually use daily, pick the closest fast location — then let the jurisdiction do the privacy work in the background.
Netherlands — Amsterdam
The default pick: AMS-IX peering means low latency to most of Europe, a strong hosting tradition, and Standard-tier pricing. Your phone will not notice the VPN is there.
- Standard tier
- from $5.99/mo
- SV-Core · $10.99/mo
Switzerland — Zurich
FADP privacy law, constitutional neutrality, outside the EU. The exit node of the classic multi-hop pair — and the right single-hop pick when your threat model says "not EU".
- Premium tier · +20%
- from $7.19/mo
- SV-Pro unmetered · $23.99/mo
Iceland — Reykjavik
IMMI free-speech law and court-order-only takedowns, 19 ms to London. The quiet option for a VPN you plan to keep for years without thinking about it.
- Premium tier · +15%
- from $6.89/mo
- SV-Pro unmetered · $22.99/mo
From root shell to handshake in ten minutes
The short version — a clean KVM box, WireGuard from the distro repos, and the checklist that keeps it quiet.
# Debian 13 — WireGuard in three commands
$ apt install wireguard
$ wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/server.key | wg pubkey
$ wg-quick up wg0
Checklist
- Harden the box first: the VPS hardening checklist takes twenty minutes and closes the door before you hang the sign.
- Enable forwarding: net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 in sysctl.conf, plus NAT for the tunnel subnet.
- Open UDP 51820 in your firewall — WireGuard is UDP-only, and we filter nothing upstream.
- Multi-hop: deploy a second VPS in Switzerland and route the first box's egress through it. Two hops, two jurisdictions, zero providers involved.
- Follow the full walkthrough: run a VPN on an offshore VPS covers Alpine and Debian end to end.
What a self-hosted VPN is not
- Not a disguise from the sites you log into. If you sign in to a personal account, the VPN ends at that login. It protects the path, not your habits.
- Not immunity. Your VPN egress traffic is bound by the AUP like anything else: no spam, no attacks, no fraud.
- Not maintenance-free. You patch the box. That is the trade for owning it — and it is a fair one.
The honest summary: a commercial VPN is a trust decision; your own VPS is an operations decision. If you would rather run one daemon than read one more audit report, this is the way. If you would rather outsource the daemon too, buy the commercial VPN and skip this page — we would rather you know the trade than sell you a box.
SV-Core for one box, SV-Pro for always-on
WireGuard runs on anything, but bandwidth decides the plan: 4 TB is plenty for a person, unmetered is peace of mind for a household or a multi-hop pair.
| VPN profile | Plan | Bandwidth | Netherlands | Switzerland |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal / small team | SV-Core · 2 vCPU · 4 GB | 4 TB @ 1 Gbps | $10.99 | $12.99 |
| Family & heavy use | SV-Pro · 4 vCPU · 8 GB | Unmetered @ 1 Gbps | $19.99 | $23.99 |
| Multi-hop pair (entry + exit) | 2× SV-Core | 4 TB each @ 1 Gbps | $21.98 | — |
Full specs on the Linux VPS page; live per-location prices in the Amsterdam and Zurich location pages. Quarterly −10% · 6 months −30% · annual −50% — best value (e.g. SV-Core: $10.99/mo → $5.50/mo equivalent billed annually).
VPN hosting, answered
A commercial VPN moves trust from your ISP to the VPN company — you are betting on their logging policy, their jurisdiction and their audits. On your own VPS there is no policy to trust: the machine is yours, VPSRento keeps no activity or connection logs, and the account is a 24-character token with no email attached. Same technology, one fewer company in the middle.
Yes. Deploy two VPS and chain them with WireGuard: your client connects to the Netherlands box, which forwards through a second tunnel to Switzerland, which exits to the internet. No provider feature is needed because it is just routing — you own both ends. Run both nodes on SV-Pro or above if you want the intermediate hop unmetered too.
Our default recommendation is SV-Core — 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 4 TB at 1 Gbps for $10.99/mo in Standard-tier locations, which covers a personal or small-team VPN with headroom. WireGuard is light enough for SV-Nano, but SV-Core absorbs updates, backups and a second service without strain. Heavy streaming or a multi-hop pair belongs on SV-Pro, unmetered on a 1 Gbps port for $19.99/mo.
Your VPN, online in 55 seconds.
Pay with crypto, get root, and a provider whose no-logs claim is structural — there is nothing to leak because nothing is written.
