E3-1230's single thread score is 1840, and I don't need that much storage or RAM either.

Thank you for the offer, though.

Definitely ReliableSite, they have plenty of i7 and Xeons at lower than 100 dollars, with 150TB BW per server and a 100% SLA on power, cooling and network in 3 US locations (NY, LA and Miami).

I will reach out to RS.

Do they allow commercial VPN servers?

VirMach provides E3-1240v2 which is pretty close to your benchmark i.e. 2030. It exceeds in RAM(32GB) and storage (240GB SSD) but lacks in bandwidth which is 10TB. Cost is $49.

Well, I can't offer the same pricing to everyone. But anyway thanks for reminding.

@Eleutheria do you know what your 95th percentile or average bandwidth usage will be in Mbps? How many IP addresses do you need? Do you have a preferred location?

Could you follow the same rules as everyone else though?

Must be in the USA. 1 IP address.

No clue on bandwidth. 100TB is mentioned because OpenVPN bottlenecks at ~300mbps on CPUs in this range.

For modern VPNs support for hardware accelerated AES would be worth more than pure CPU speed. With it even modest CPUs can do more than 1Gb/s AES encryption without loading the system.

Both have very good routing and transfer speeds.
