Self-Hosted VPN Server Hosting

Commercial VPN providers know who you are. Self-hosting a WireGuard or OpenVPN server on an offshore VPS gives you the same encryption with zero counterparty trust.

Self-hosted vs commercial VPN

Commercial VPN providers are a single point of failure. They know your payment identity, they see your traffic, and they can be compelled (or hacked) to log. Self-hosting moves the trust to yourself and your host. With AnonPort you trust one offshore infrastructure provider instead of trusting both an identified VPN company and an infrastructure provider.

WireGuard vs OpenVPN

WireGuard is faster, simpler, and modern — uses ~4 KB of kernel code vs OpenVPN's much larger codebase. OpenVPN supports older devices and has more configurability but is slower and harder to configure. For 95% of users, WireGuard is the right choice. Our VPS comes with a mainline Linux kernel that has WireGuard support built-in.

Recommended jurisdictions

FAQ

VPN Hosting — FAQ

01 Is self-hosting a VPN legal?

Yes in all our jurisdictions. You are responsible for the traffic you send through it, same as any other server.

02 How many users can one VPS handle?

VPS-S handles 2–5 concurrent users. VPS-M handles 20–50. VPS-L handles 100+ on WireGuard. OpenVPN is ~30% less efficient.

03 Will my ISP detect I'm using a VPN?

They see encrypted traffic to a datacenter IP — that's it. They cannot see the contents. WireGuard uses UDP 51820 by default; use port 443 if your ISP blocks it.

04 Does unlimited bandwidth really apply to VPN traffic?

Yes. Our uplink is not throttled or counted. The only limit is the uplink speed of the plan (1–2 Gbps).

05 Can I chain my VPS VPN with Tor?

Yes (VPN→Tor or Tor→VPN). VPN→Tor hides Tor usage from your ISP. Tor→VPN gives a stable exit IP but deanonymizes you to the VPS.
