VPN / Proxy Server Hosting

Q: Which VPN software can I run on a QDE VPS?

WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec/IKEv2, SoftEther, and any other VPN software that runs on Linux. You have full root access and can install whatever you need.

Q: Can I run a proxy server on my VPS?

Yes. You can run SOCKS5 proxies (Dante, microsocks), HTTP proxies (Squid, Tinyproxy), or reverse proxies (Nginx, Caddy, HAProxy). Any proxy software that runs on Linux works.

Q: Is running a VPN or proxy server allowed?

Yes, for personal and legitimate business use. Running VPN and proxy servers for your own privacy, remote access, or internal infrastructure is fully permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy.

Q: How many simultaneous VPN connections can I handle?

WireGuard is extremely lightweight — even the Ryzen Mini plan handles 50+ concurrent peers without breaking a sweat. OpenVPN uses more resources, but a Bronze or higher plan handles it well.

Q: Do I get a dedicated IP address?

Yes. Every VPS includes a dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet. Your VPN traffic exits through your own IP, not a shared address used by thousands of others.

Q: Can I set up rDNS for my VPN server?

Yes. You can configure reverse DNS through the control panel. This is useful if you want clean PTR records for your VPN endpoint.

Deploy WireGuard, OpenVPN, or proxy servers on your own VPS with full control.

Commercial VPN services share infrastructure across thousands of users. You don't know who else is on the same server, who's logging what, or how congested the network is. A self-hosted VPN on your own VPS eliminates all of that.

QDE runs AMD EPYC and Ryzen processors with NVMe storage and 10 Gbps connectivity in Amsterdam. Deploy WireGuard in minutes, run OpenVPN for your team, or set up proxy servers — all on infrastructure you fully control. Plans start at €3.95/month. Already familiar with the setup?

Why a VPS for VPN / Proxy Servers

Commercial VPN providers ask you to trust them with your traffic. A self-hosted VPN on your own VPS removes the middleman — you control the server, the logs, and the encryption.

Your Server, Your RulesNo third-party VPN provider logs, no shared infrastructure, no trust issues. You control the server, the configuration, and the encryption keys.
Dedicated IP AddressYour traffic exits through an IP that only you use. No blacklists from other users' abuse, no CAPTCHAs from shared VPN pools, no IP reputation problems.
Full Root AccessInstall WireGuard, OpenVPN, Dante, Squid, or anything else that runs on Linux. Configure firewall rules, routing tables, and DNS however you need.
Better Performance Than Shared VPNsCommercial VPN services pack thousands of users onto shared servers. Your own VPS means guaranteed RAM, NVMe storage, and a 10 Gbps uplink — no competing with thousands of other users.
No Artificial LimitsNo connection limits, no bandwidth throttling, no protocol restrictions. Run as many tunnels and connections as your plan's resources can handle.

Why Amsterdam for VPN Hosting

Where your VPN server is located matters — for privacy, for performance, and for legal protections. Amsterdam checks all three boxes.

Strong Privacy JurisdictionThe Netherlands operates under GDPR with strong judicial protections for personal data. For VPN hosting, that means a jurisdiction with clear privacy rules — not vague policies that change with the political climate.
AMS-IX ConnectivityAmsterdam Internet Exchange is one of the world's largest. Your VPN server sits at the crossroads of European traffic, delivering low latency across the continent.
Fast Routes WorldwidePremium upstream providers and direct peering mean your VPN connections are fast — not just within Europe, but to North America and Asia too.
Politically Stable JurisdictionThe Netherlands is politically stable with strong rule of law. No sudden policy changes, no arbitrary infrastructure seizures, no unpredictable regulatory environment.

What You Get with QDE

We built QDE for workloads that need real resources and no artificial limits. VPN and proxy servers run best on infrastructure that doesn't cut corners.

Real KVM VirtualizationFull hardware virtualization with your own kernel. WireGuard runs as a kernel module — on KVM it runs natively for maximum throughput. Container-based VPS can't do this. Configure iptables, routing tables, and tunnels without restrictions.
No RAM or Storage OversellingRAM and storage are never oversold — what your plan lists is what you get. CPU is shared but host density is kept low, so VPN performance stays consistent.
NVMe StorageFast storage for proxy caches, VPN configuration, and logs. Caching proxies like Squid benefit directly from NVMe read/write speeds, and high-throughput setups stay responsive under load.
IPv4 + IPv6 IncludedEvery VPS gets a dedicated IPv4 and a /64 IPv6 block. Run dual-stack VPN tunnels without paying extra for basic networking.
10 Gbps Network UplinkHigh-speed connectivity with 4 TB to 32 TB monthly bandwidth depending on your plan. Your VPN won't be the bottleneck — your local ISP probably will be.
Multiple Linux DistributionsDebian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, Arch Linux, and more. Choose the OS you're most comfortable configuring for your VPN or proxy setup.

VPN & Proxy Solutions

Whether you need a personal VPN tunnel or a proxy setup for your team, a VPS gives you the flexibility to run whatever solution fits your workflow.

WireGuard VPN

Modern, fast, and simple. WireGuard runs as a kernel module with minimal overhead — perfect for personal privacy, remote access, or connecting distributed infrastructure.

OpenVPN Server

Battle-tested and widely compatible. Run OpenVPN for teams, legacy devices, or environments where you need maximum client compatibility across platforms.

SOCKS5 / HTTP Proxy

Deploy Dante, Squid, or similar proxy software for browser routing, application-level proxying, or traffic inspection in development environments.

Remote Team Access

Give your team secure access to internal services without exposing them to the public internet. A VPN server acts as the gateway to your private infrastructure.

Privacy and Secure Browsing

Route your own traffic through a server you control. No third-party logging, no shared IP reputation issues, no trust required beyond your own infrastructure.

Development and Testing

Test geo-restricted APIs, simulate traffic from European IP addresses, or build proxy-aware applications against real infrastructure instead of mocks.
