Who this route is for
People who want a low-cost EU server, QR-code onboarding, and minimal admin overhead.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 03
Connect a native VPN client
Import the generated profile or sign in with the supported client, then test the tunnel.

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.
