Looking for a small Japan VPS (HK/SG also OK) — WireGuard + monitoring, good route to China

kuka

Hi all,

I'm based in China and my main VPS is in Los Angeles. I'm looking for a small Asia box for personal WireGuard and uptime monitoring.

Location: Japan (Tokyo/Osaka) preferred; Hong Kong or Singapore also OK
1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM / 20 GB SSD
500 GB+ bandwidth, KVM, IPv4 + IPv6
Personal WireGuard use allowed

Budget: $20–25/year ideally, open to a monthly deal if the route is good. Route stability to China Mobile in the evening matters more to me than benchmarks. A test IP or looking glass would be great.

Thanks!

Hey,
Saw you're looking for something small in Japan. We've got servers in both Tokyo and Osaka, so either location is an option.
Our smallest plan is $6.90/month:

• 1 Intel vCPU
• 1GB RAM
• 25GB SSD
• 1Gbps Network
• 1TB Bandwidth
• IPv4 + IPv6

  I know it's more than the $20–25/year you're aiming for. We also charge $0.00945/hour, though, so you could spin one up for a few hours and see how China Mobile routing behaves in the evening before spending more.
  I'd definitely test the route first since that's your main concern.

Check my old thread https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/221859/japan-kvm-vps-where-to-look-for#latest

Orange VPS is ok. I bought one when their 10.10 deal when it was on.

Or you should wait for black friday a few weeks later. I've heard @SmartHost and others are going to do a good deal.

Thanks for the advice, and for linking your old thread — really helpful. I'll keep an eye on the Black Friday deals.

If you are connecting to Hong Kong from China, I personally recommend dmit.io. However, it might exceed your budget.

At this budget range your selections are mostly limited to softback or IIJ routes.
For CM, Level3-CMI is another option, but the latency and link rates are not guaranteed.

If you need stabler latency and link rate especially during peak hours, consider Greencloud's CN-Optimized plans at JP/SG:

Unrelated to the provider hunt, but for the WireGuard part: drop the MTU to 1380 in your peer config instead of the default 1420. Some China ISP paths fragment larger UDP packets and you get stalls that look exactly like a bad route. Also set PersistentKeepalive = 25 on the client side so your NAT mapping doesn't die quietly overnight.
