Wtd: Xtra lowend UK VPS for private VPN/Proxy only!

Maybe a tall order but here goes:
For geolocation purposes DC in Cheltenham or Maidenhead. LES offers NCL only!
Minimal spec for above purpose only and lowish bandwidth to drive cost down further.
Private whitelisted ipv4 a must.
Preferably with a secured and pre-installed openVPN - might be pushing a bit hard here ;-)
No Paypal - direct debit preferred.
Thanks for your consideration/recommendations!!

  • ...shameless bump...and personal reminder...post when UK wakes up in the morning...not when they're asleep at night...geographical time difference reasons only...

  • @Jack comes to mind but you'd read rather use the search function to find similar request.

    This for example : http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/398112/

  • httpzoom have 64MB plans in stock constantly, dotvps did do some limited 32MB's but they sold out some time ago.

    Thanked by 1sally
  • @Jack
    You got the URLs of 64 and 96 wrong.

    Also, do they have any swap/vswap?

  • $8 dollars a year that's cheap.. wonder if openvpn-as would run on that

  • @Jack said:
    It should do can boost the ram temporality if you require to install it but I think running it would work fine at 32MB.

    Nope, no way you'll get openvpn-as running in 32MB. Even idle on a heavily minified VPS it'll use about 40MB; I managed to get it running for a single user in 64GB before, but it was tighter than a gnat's chuff. Plain ol' openvpn would probably be OK tho.

  • A debian with minimal template from the OpenVZ template, would just use about 5MB. But it just for running ssh

    Leaving just 27MB for OpenVPN-AS; I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, but I don't believe you can squeeze it into 27MB even idle.

    I am testing softether in an ipxcore VPS with 32mb and it seems it is working fine

    PPTP will work for you on 32 Mb box.
    Using this magical script need only 1-2 minutes for setup:

    PPTP has major security flaws, stick with OpenVPN.

    Personally i prefer this one http://docs.cslabs.clarkson.edu/wiki/Install_PPTP_on_CentOS_5

    OpenVPN is much more secure and faster too.

    What exactly? Works fine for me... )
    Secure and faster... Yes I know, but really not always it matters.

    Restocked.

    So tempting :) Thinking about adding another true LEB to the cluster of 32-96Mb vps's :)

  • Jack said: Did use Serial console for this though and shut down SSH for it to run.

    Is that just a plain install? Which OS did you use? I just tried an install on a completely stripped down Debian 7 64bit and I'm still running at 102MB!

    the actual link gives me a 404 Not Found.

    So it seems from the comments gratefully received that 32mb would be sufficient for running either openvpn or softether.
    Cheers!

  • @Jack said:
    Nekki Debian 6 32bit if you have more ram it does use more... I tried up'ing it to 128 to see what it did and then moved it back down to 32 and it dropped to 27.

    That's interesting; I have a 64MB VPS with HTTPZoom, and instantly the RAM usage goes to 100, so since there's some burst there, it's eating into it and instantly makes me into a noisy neighbour. Sounds like it'd be better if there was no burst at all...

    Thanks for all the advice!!

  • Why not using OpenVPN non AS?

    Because people like the feeling to have access to a shell but are in fear of the console, nonetheless.
