VPS as a private VPN exit
Run WireGuard or OpenVPN with full root and a clean static IP — a private exit you built yourself, no KYC.
Commercial VPNs are a trust contract with a stranger: their no-logs claim, their jurisdiction, their payment records. A VPN you run on your own no-KYC VPS replaces that trust with configuration you can read.
What you get
- ▹A static, clean IP with rDNS you control — no shared exit abused by strangers.
- ▹Full root: your cipher suite, your routing rules, your firewall.
- ▹A single-user exit — nobody else's traffic, nobody else's subpoenas.
Typical setup
WireGuard on the Wisp plan ($5/mo) handles a personal exit comfortably. Route your devices through it, keep the VPS in the jurisdiction you prefer, and pay in XMR. See the WireGuard guide for a copy-paste config.
