Cheap VPS for VPN (help)

Hello everyone, I'm looking for an inexpensive VPS for a VPN. Ideally, it should cost 30-40 dollars a year, but it can be a bit more. The most important things are: 1 (ideally 10) Gbit, a clean IP address, 10 TB of traffic or more and the ability to pay with crypto. And I have a question: will 1 core CPU be enough for 10-20 active connections, or should I get 2 CPU cores? I would be very grateful!

I don't think you can saturate a 1 Gbps port with one low-speed core, I'd go with at least 1 Ryzen core. Check this: https://login.layer7.net/cart.php?pid=253
1x AMD Ryzen vCore
4 GB RAM
120 GB NVMe Disk space
Up to 5 Gbit/s Connectivity
and they take some cryptos.
Question: why would vpn need that much disk space?
The large disk comes by as a collateral of the Ryzen core, the fast network and the 50 TB of bandwidth. It's hard to get a smaller disk keeping the other specs. But yes, even 10 GB could be enough.
Great! Are there a couple more options? I want to order several at once to choose the best option
There are a few more options, in the US there are ColoCrossing and Aquatis, in Europe there is HostBrr, for example:
Aquatis (US) $45 / year
2 Intel Cores (shared)
2048 MB RAM
20 GB NVMe
10240 GB/month bandwidth
10.0 Gbps port speed
IPv4 + IPv6
HostBrr (Germany) $55 / year
2 Ryzen Cores (shared)
4096 MB RAM
30 GB NVMe
10240 GB/month bandwidth
1.0 Gbps port speed
IPv4 + IPv6
ColoCrossing has been complained about for having their IP addresses in black lists, for Aquatis and HostBrr there are no such complaints, not that I see at least. I went with 2 cores for Aquatis because their Yabs score are lower than for the AMD Ryzen, but for HostBrr I think one Ryzen can be enough. If you're looking for more, this is an affiliated aggregator page that I made with thousands of service configurations, all from LET.
