My quest for a sub-$20/yr Euro VPS for WireGuard – any hidden gems?
Hi LET,
I'm running a Raspberry Pi 3B+ at home with PiVPN (WireGuard) already configured. I'm looking for a low-cost VPS in Europe to use as a WireGuard exit node, so my public IP is replaced by the VPS IP for privacy reasons.
I've looked into Oracle Cloud's free tier, but the registration process asked for more personal data than I'm comfortable providing for this project. I'm not looking for a free handout – just a very low-cost option.
I've read about providers like TierHive, Lunes, and Kyun, but I'd like to know if there are other options or if anyone has recent experience with them.
My budget: around $15–20 per year.
What I need: 1 vCPU, 512 MB–1 GB RAM, and at least 5–10 GB of disk. That's more than enough for WireGuard + Pi-hole + Unbound.
What I'm looking for in a provider:
Doesn't require a credit card or extensive personal data to sign up.
Servers in Europe (Germany, Netherlands, France, or Spain would be ideal for latency).
Root SSH access so I can install a standard Linux distro.
Does anyone have recommendations for a provider that fits these criteria? I'd appreciate any recent hands-on experience.
Thanks in advance.

@SKRIME I guess they have a plan starting at 1.99Euro....
Thanks for the tag @buggedout, and it's actually a bit better than that.
@f1r3C0d3, our EPYC 1G is 1.49€/mo, so 17.88€ for the year, inside your budget. You get 1 core on AMD EPYC Zen 3 Milan with ECC DDR4, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB NVMe in RAID 1, one IPv4 plus an IPv6 /64, in Eygelshoven, NL. If you don't need the IPv4, the IPv6-only variant is 0.99€/mo.
On the part that made you walk away from Oracle, we don't do KYC. A working email address is all we ask for, nothing else at signup and nothing later.
For a WireGuard exit the relevant bits are full KVM with your own kernel so TUN/TAP works out of the box, and traffic with no monthly allowance at all, so there's no counter to keep an eye on.
Longer terms take 5, 10 or 15% off for 6, 12 or 24 months.
