hi everyone! looking for cheap vps in ru, moscow without TSPU rules for local wireguard server. Rostelecom, TTK, vimpelcom uplinks preferred.

Check some extremely cheap options here: https://serverdeals.cc/search?provider=&cpu_count=&ram=&storage=&location=russia&min_price=&max_price= (some links are aff)
@zGato can also help with a few suggestions.
i already talk with zGato about this, but some providers have very poor scores and tons of spam/abuser marks. looking anything more private/unknown
I used:
firstbyte.ru
IHC.ru
mchost.ru
Everyone has a good impression for their money.
But you need a vps with 60-70 risk score at ipdata.co, low risk at scamalytics - These are unrealistic demands, especially for the money you are offering - $20-30 per year.
By the way, I have 3 VPNs from different providers now - This is:
deluxhost.net - Netherlands
hostiger.com - Turkey
FirstByte.ru - Russia
All of them have 1-5 points on the ip risk scale at ipdata.co.
60-70 risk score are private IP addresses, even if you find such an IP address, the price will be many times higher.

https://rocketcloud.ru pretty cheap vps in Moscow, plenty of traffic.
Resellers without their own data center, any information about the company, servers and an empty site. A dummy.
Works very good for me.
@zigzag21
From the diverse Russia VPS the ihor hosting VPS is the one I kept. Unlike the VDSina one which I liked a lot the ihor VPS can be payed quite trouble-free from the western world. But as you even prefer crypto payment I'd suggest to look at VDSina.
Without TSPU? Hm, hm

best VPS in Russian location
I have a good experience with them.
The only one problem is they haven't any international payment method at the moment (like: PayPal, Stripe, Credit/Debit card) 
If I not wrong, previously it was the HostVDS Russian location, but they sold/outsourced it to a different Company for some reason..
They are the HostVDS branch in Russia, they're trustworthy.
skyhost.ru is also owned by them, they've been in business for quite a while.
I'm using both (since they have different DC) and they're both flawless. I still don't like OpenStack since I'm not really used to, but it's very powerful, and they give you the ability to do all sort of things. Which, in case of OP, could be good since he can just swap an IP address to a different range if he wants for reputation-purposes.
Firstbyte.ru and Ihor.online accept Visa and MC.
Firstly, they do not disclose information about their data centers, and secondly, judging by the reviews, they have very low-power servers, disks, and so on. Third, why would skyhost rebrand and rename the company to rocketcloud? And I know why, because skyhost has 90% negative reviews.

I couldn't bother less about reviews and other bullshit tbh, it works flawlessly for me and it's been +1 years.
you're paying less than 100RUB/m for such VPS, what else do you expect? Ryzen 9?
I don't care how much I pay 100 rubles or 500 rubles a month, if a company doesn't have a license, a physical office, and a bad reputation, I'd feel sorry for even 100 rubles, because such a company will go into the sunset at any moment and you'll be left with nothing - This is the first moment. There are companies on the market that have everything transparent in terms of documents, information, and so on, and their prices are the same or lower:
firstbyte
ihor
IHC
etc...
vdsina[.]ru has 69р/м special now. Only has 1TB traffic though, but much cheaper also.
scamalytics:
https://ml.cloud might be a choice.
? Not sure about Wireguard, but AmneziaWG works great (sites like Instagram/Facebook or YouTube previews/avatars are still banned, video clips work fine for me)
There are a lot of AmneziaWG vps on the https://timeweb.cloud network, but I can't recommend this provider for anything confidential. Same with Aeza, their promo plan is so cheap, but their IP reputation or privacy is big questionable.
I can test a regular wireguard if there is interest in the host, in pm.
rocketcloud.
to the contrary. HostVDS is a USA business. To have a "branch" in Russia is fishy. How's that? That's also why I don't want IHC, Firstbyte and others using also datacenters in NATO zone.
for years I use dedis at Selectel, Planetahost. I am now considering some VPS or cloud for some small websites, could just create one KVM on NVMe with Planetahost, but there are tons of providers. Poiskvps is a good start for searching, but overwhelming, so I am looking here and there about opinions, not only Russian domestic ones. What poisksvps doesn't parameter in the search is btw indeed part of the business outside Russia.
They have 3 branches actually, Hong Kong, US and Russia. And their employees are from all around the globe. What's bad about it?
ihc, firstbyte, ... all of these use the same DC in Finland, creanova, which basically their whole team is from Russia, so they get along with them. Similar thing happens with some Estonian providers (can't recall the name tho)
Pardon me but I think that's weird BS.
Don't get me wrong, I'm clearly on Russia's side and very unlikely to become a customer of a ukrainian provider - but that doesn't mean that I'm hating and/or hunting them!
You see, the internet is global, and that's a very major part of why we value it! "Russky provider", "Nato DC", or "slit-eyed communist DC" are loaded terms that just are nonsense. The internet needs global inter-connectivity and cooperation! And it works better for all of us if politics is kept out as far as possible.
At the end of the day, the people working in DCs, carrier NOCs, etc. (almost) all are professionals who are way more similar to each other through their work and highly likely similar mind sets than they are dissimilar due to this or that politics or nationality.
So, yes, I prefer some countries like e.g. and in particular Russia, and dislike others - BUT if an internet hop works well and is well configured, I don't see a Russian, a Ukrainian, a US-American, or a Chinese, I simply see colleagues doing a good job (or not). Same with DCs.
Let's leave political nonsense and quarrels to the politsters and let us see colleagues as "one from us", because that's what they are!
my comment was a simplification in order to stress a real issue.
reminder: the "West" runs so-called sanctions centered around blackmail and racketeering at bank level: robbery of €/$ reserve of central Russian bank, cut off from SWIFT/VISA/Mastercard.
the fact that a Russian business runs a front-end, a branch, that must be these days non-official, inside NATO zone, exposes it to these threads, and implies that they are tolerated because US government needs to reach online inside Russia. The dream of social engineering on Russian population in order to push regime change.
for sure, a Russian company running via local entity, in NATO-zone like Finland or Estonia data centers, is tied to the jurisdiction where these data centers are located.
Means that if you want to be safe, you don't host there.
a foreign business operating inside Russia is potentially collecting customers data for the main office abroad, unless strict screening from Russian authorities. And the risk exists for a Russian company operating a non-official branch abroad, because business and bank blackmail can exist on its management/owners.
to be sure to stay safe, host at a Russian company with no presence in NATO zone at all.
They just use fake registration addresses, like Indian companies do, for example. They are located in India and the websites say Delaware USA. The same principle applies. For settlement outside of Russia, they open accounts in CIS banks, for example, in Azerbaijan, Kaspi Bank and accept foreign payments without any problems. Also, within the CIS and friendly countries, you can easily transfer money to Russian accounts. This system has been created for a long time. The West, with its retinues and so on, is no longer needed. Everything works without participation.
Russia has its own payment system and MIR cards that work with the CIS countries and other friendly countries, of which there are many.
This does not mean that they are illegal companies. Many have been around for many years.
