Renting a server for a VPN service in the Middle East

Anthony2016

For a VPN service we would like to rent a KVM based VPS in the Middle East with the following specs:

• CentOS 6, 64 Bit
• 2 cores
• 2 GB RAM
• 20 GB of HDD space
• shared 100 Mbps uplink (traffic: max. 3TB/month)
• /27 subnet

Payment is possible either in Bitcoins or with VISA card.

Can anyone offer that?
If so, please contact me via PM.

Thank you.

Aren't VPNs illegal in the ME?

Depends on the country. There are a few of them there.

Okay I'll bite, are you connecting from the middle east? If so which country.

EDIT: Oh you want to run a VPN server there? Have fun!

Turkey would be much better, and easier to get

Turkey is still better than any other middle east country.

Also, I just gave the OP an option, I don't see the reason why you have to jump in, if you don't want to do it, read, ignore and move ahead.

There is no reason to get personal

Ultimately, see it from the ISP side here:

• Not based in Turkey
• Likely not used in Turkey
• Costs to establish low

Ultimate risk is very low if they decide to sue/ban you.

Turkey is however useless for ME mostly, as the EU route is more used.

Russia has somewhat useful (speed and congestion wise) to Iran, Qatar, UAE and other smaller things but is latency wise far.

Israel routes to Europe, no real-life exceptions (Cyprus is Europe.).

For ME VPN coverage you end up with a bunch of POPs at least, depending on the user base:

• Israel
• Saudi Arabia (SA, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar for now, Yemen, few others)
• Optional UAE instead of Saudi Arabia due to better laws/easier payment but at higher prices
• France (sea cable landing for state ISPs on older transport cables)
• Italy (Telecom Italia transport and transit can, but does not have to, end in Italy)

• UK or DE (overall traffic quality to region, can also replace Italy and France at good transit/latency acceptance)

• Optional SG/HK for the obscure Prefer-Asia-Route-Cuz-Dumb ISPs at cost of more likely congestion and BW prices

• Optional Russia for Iran (ITC loves their Rostelecom and Central Asian upstreams)
