What you get

Built in, not bolted on.

WireGuard or OpenVPN

Install the protocol you prefer. WireGuard is light and quick to set up, and OpenVPN works with almost any client.

You hold the keys

Keys and certificates are created on your server and never pass through a third-party VPN company.

Logging is your choice

You decide what the server records. Switch connection logs off, or keep them for your own audits.

A fixed exit address

Traffic leaves from the server's own IPv4 address, which you can allowlist on office systems and admin panels.

Access for your team

Create a profile per person or device and revoke it when someone leaves.

Firewall and updates

Limit the server to the VPN port and SSH, and keep packages patched with your Linux distribution's updates.

Questions

Private VPN Servers, answered.

Is this the same as a VPN subscription?

No. This is a private server that you set up and run yourself. If you want a ready-made app with many countries to choose from, see our NordVPN plans instead.

Which protocol should I use?

WireGuard is simpler and lighter on resources. OpenVPN is older, widely supported and can run over TCP when a network blocks UDP.

Who can see my traffic?

Traffic between your devices and the server is encrypted. What the server logs depends only on how you configure it.

Can my whole team use one server?

Yes. Create a separate profile for each user or device. Larger teams should pick a plan with more transfer.

How much transfer do I need?

Estimate the traffic each user sends through the VPN in a month. Browsing and email use little, while video calls and large downloads use much more.
