Looking for a Canada-based VPS with clean IPv4, or a transit path through a home router
Hello everyone.
I am looking for a VPS in Canada with a business-class IPv4 address. It is enough if the IP passes checks on vpnapi.io and Fraudlogix IP Risk Score.
The desired configuration is around 8-12 GB RAM, 80+ GB NVMe storage, and 4-6 CPU cores, so the OS runs very smoothly. I prefer British Columbia, but I am open to other Canada locations as well.
If anyone can offer the same with a residential IPv4, or connectivity through a tunnel to a home MikroTik, that would be even better.
This is for a fully legitimate use case, specifically for an employee working remotely who spends about two thirds of the year on business trips in the United States, Germany, Belarus, and Latvia.
P.S.
We had an option like that before, but the VM was very slow, and no upgrades ever made it fast or responsive enough. The support was also sluggish, and today the VM died completely.

@HostBilby, could you please let me know when any CA VPS plans will be back in stock? They are all sold out right now. I am also interested in seeing an example of the specific IPv4 address type this product comes with.
DM me if you're interested in a new Bandicoot Boost client.
FreeRangeCloud has several CA locations, some of their looking glass IPs pass that website's check: https://freerangecloud.com/lookingglass.php
They also have an IP tunnel option.
Servarica's ip pass on both. For me their service is prem, I use their chimera plan. Located in Montreal.
Thanks for the tag!
Hey @WiFi we should have some stock by end of the week. New nodes are being run up now! Here's our looking glass for a test IP: https://tor-lg.hostbilby.com
If the employee will have access to protected B data, even using a VPS that would still be breach of government contract.
I'm very familiar with FRC. Their machines are slow, all Canadian IPv4 addresses are flagged as high-risk and/or datacenter, and the name shows up as Free Range Cloud. Any orders from there in online stores immediately get manual review / flagged as potential fraud, on eBay it's a seller ban within a week or so, and KeyCDN just straight up returns Forbidden. Overall, a very dirty subnet.
We have no government contracts or business secrets. It's a small business for commercial clients, at a startup/break-even level.
Unfortunately, 103.254.63.21 or something like that is not an option. High risk score according to Fraudlogix, DC flag, hostname and organization name clearly contain Cloud. No chance. But thanks for the reply.
@SolidVPS
They have Ca servers. Very good provider.
@SolidVP
May I have your Looking Glass link or IPv4 example of the CA VPS?
Tbh you should not expect that hosting provider that isn't detected as one by either of these services today won't be detected tomorrow.
I totally understand that. However, there are plenty of examples where this works for long periods when used reasonably, including for quarters and even years.
Of course, if fraudsters, scammers, TOR exits, and similar traffic are allowed onto it, and it is then advertised openly to the whole world, it will be exposed very quickly. But with mid-tier or higher plans and careful client screening, as I see it, this is entirely realistic. I am not looking for this at a $10 price point.
Not my company but i'm Sure they'll notice the tag
I was mistaken though. Only have a CA Dedi there:
38.111.111.xxx
My CA vm is with @NDTN greencloudvps.com also very solid.

Also pass your tests
It's cool, thank you.
No worries - I'd say most of the providers here will have the same issue - it's not that we're high risk, its that the Fraud service has classified the IP block as Datacenter.
You're best looking for a VPS with a residential IP - but eventually it will get caught...
Have you ever thought about tunnelling back to your home instead?
Tunneling would actually be an excellent option, better than a RDP VPS. We have extensive experience with that approach by using Mikrotik routers and Mikrotik CHR in particular.
In the case of tunneling, I often do exactly that, but the question is where to get a good Canadian IPv4 address, preferably corporate or residential. Private individuals, when you propose covering 50% or 100% of their plan depending on the package price (some of them $120-150 CAD/mo), tend to get very nervous. They imagine that someone will do something illegal through their router, even though I am interested in the exact opposite. Meanwhile, many of them are sitting at home searching for where to buy something illegal.
So the real problem is finding either a private individual or a company willing to sell a tunnel with a good-quality IPv4 address. And if it is residential, that would of course be the ideal option.
Oh, so you don't actually have a home and internet in Canada - you're working remotely and convincing your company that you're home? I'm confused.
The only thing I can really think of is buying a Residential proxy.
No, of course not. That is nonsense. These days, every service detects it immediately, and it shows up in red across all checks. It is a dumpster option for people who just need something for two dollars.
It is simple: there is a house, and there is a virtual company with documents, BA, and everything else. But the company does not need an office. We tried installing an HP microcomputer at home, but it was either noisy or required local attention whenever it became unavailable. That meant someone had to check on it, the uptime was not great, and so on. We decided that RDP at DC would be more reliable, and overall that proved true. The uptime is around 99.98%, and it requires no maintenance.
That said, if I were building it now, I would probably try a different setup. I would order a real public IPv4 address from the ISP and place a MikroTik behind the NAT of the provider’s router. That is what I would do if I had known all of this in advance. But for that to work, there would need to be a tenant in the house, someone actually living there, and an IT specialist, because not everything can be done remotely. So that approach is also a major hassle.
Overall, predictable services with button-based controls or ticket-based management seem more practical and do not require expensive flights, and those flights can easily cost $3,000 round trip.
hmm what about renting a coworking space. It would be kinda like with your house example and the issues with having someone (remote hands) check on it.
Why not just use the Mikrotik as your router for the ISP Service at the house then? You can wireguard into it - and it won't fail like the PC did, also put it on a UPS / Battery backup to cover power outages.
terabit.io
23.137.57.x
ez bypassed
tried a random isp proxy service provider and also easily bypassed with low risk score and corporate type flag（not canada,i don't need CA so i can't test）
fraudlogix even worse than MJJ's "wind control score check website"
Maybe this will help: https://lukecyca.com/2025/canadian-vps-review.html
He's sketchy AF and definitely not "legitimate" use if mitigations are needed.
You seem to be judging others by your own standards. No mitigations are needed, and I never said anything of the sort.
That would indeed have been the best solution, and that only became clear after several years. However, implementing it would require changing providers, since the current one offers service only through its own CPE (Shaw Cable).
In any case, I already have some options lined up and am purchasing the first services now. Thank you to everyone who responded constructively.
I’m about 99% sure you can put any Shaw modem in bridge mode and then your microtik will work fine.
