Fit check

Who this route is for

People who want a low-cost EU server, QR-code onboarding, and minimal admin overhead.

Cost signal

EUR 5.99/mo plus VAT in the EU with a public IPv4 after the June 2026 price change.

The route

From provider to connected client.

  1. 01

    Review the guided image check

    Optionally confirm the current app image from your terminal. This check does not create a server; final review stays in the provider console.

  2. 02

    Create and secure the server

    Create it in the provider console, finish the admin setup, and revoke any temporary token used for the image check.

  3. 03

    Connect a native VPN client

    Import the generated profile or sign in with the supported client, then test the tunnel.

What stands out

Setup highlights

  • Official WireGuard app with management UI.

  • Low-cost server story.

  • Natural fit for spin up when traveling, destroy when done.

Read before launch

Tradeoffs and watch-outs

  • The guided command checks image availability only; server creation stays in Cloud Console.

  • Browser UX ends where the actual device VPN connection begins.

  • Self-hosting shifts trust to the server operator, hosting environment, and upstream project; it does not guarantee anonymity.
