Why Your Own VPN?
Commercial VPN services promise anonymity – but who controls their servers? Who logs what?
With your own VPN, you have full control. No logs except those you activate yourself. No overloaded servers. Unlimited devices.
Hardware Requirements
WireGuard is extremely lightweight. The bottleneck isn't CPU or RAM, but bandwidth.
Watch out for traffic limits! Contabo and Strato have limits, Hetzner and Netcup offer true 'unlimited'.
| Usage | Bandwidth | Traffic/Month |
|---|---|---|
| Browsing & Email | 10 Mbit/s | ~10-20 GB |
| HD Streaming | 25 Mbit/s | ~100-300 GB |
| 4K Streaming | 50+ Mbit/s | ~500+ GB |
| Downloads | Max possible | TB range |
Our Recommendation
For VPN, bandwidth matters more than RAM or CPU. Recommendation: Hetzner CX22 with 20 TB traffic for about €4/month.
Alternative with unlimited traffic: Netcup RS 1000 for about €5/month.
