Most hosts that take crypto still want an email, and many want a name. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 36 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts required an email address, 13 asked for a full name and 9 for a postal address. | Field | Gloamport | Active crypto VPS hosts that ask for it | | --- | --- | --- | | Email address | Optional | 36 of 42 | | Full name | Never | 13 of 42 | | Postal address | Never | 9 of 42 | | Phone number | Never | 5 of 42 | | Identity document | Never | 1 always, 11 on triggers in their terms | | Monero accepted | Yes | 26 of 42 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* The full host-by-host table, with the pages each fact was read on, is on [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). ## What does each coin reveal about your payment? A Monero payment shows nobody outside the two wallets who paid whom, or how much. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. That is why Monero comes first in the checkout, and why the [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?") page compares the two line by line. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Privacy at the payment stops at the edge of your account, and we say so plainly: Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. Whoever can read the account can read that link. Keep the account number to yourself and add an email only if you want a way to recover it. The steps, from the wallet to a running server, are on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## How does Gloamport set its prices? Each price is set against a named plan from a dated survey, not against a guess. On the 12-month term, Ember costs $3.74 a month against HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99; Dusk costs $5.25 against VSYS Host VS-NVME1-2 at $7.00; Gloam costs $8.25 against VSYS Host VS-NVME2-4 at $11.00. The reference for each size is the comparable plan with the smallest monthly price among 38 hosts that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size: on 1 or 3 months, our prices sit above those references, and the saving comes with 6 and 12 months. The medians of the survey and every host's price are on [What does a no-KYC VPS cost per month in November 2026?](https://gloamport.com/no-kyc-vps-price-index/ "What does a no-KYC VPS cost per month in November 2026?"). ## Short answers before you order ### Do I need an email address to order? No. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. ### Does Gloamport ever ask for ID later? No. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. Nothing in the dashboard, the renewal or support asks for a document. ### Which coins can I pay with? The checkout takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, with Monero first. The minimum top-up is $25, and Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. ### How fast is a VPS ready? A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. It takes 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. ### Can I use my own SSH key? Yes, and it is the better choice. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. The [How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ "How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?") guide takes two minutes. ### What is a VPS on Gloamport not allowed to do? Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies.

A reference is a plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, billed one month at a time and not sold out, at one of the 38 VPS hosts in our survey that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document; for each size it is the one with the smallest monthly price, and two of our plans never share one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Euro prices use 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026); the 1-month price is the 12-month monthly price divided by 0.5. The survey behind it covers 49 hosts read on 10 November 2026; 38 of them take crypto and do not ask every customer for an identity document, and form the pool the references come from. The full table of who accepts Monero is in [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). ## How can I pay, and who sees the payment? **You pay in crypto from a prepaid balance, to wallet addresses Gloamport holds itself.** Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. Details of each coin are in the [privacy policy](https://gloamport.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). ## What does Gloamport leave off its site? - **Reviews, ratings and testimonials:** none are shown, and none will be invented. - **A customer count:** the site gives no number of clients or servers. - **Speed figures of its own:** Gloamport has run no benchmark and shows none. - **An uptime percentage:** instead, days lost to an outage that support cannot fix go back to your balance under the [refund policy](https://gloamport.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy"). - **A history or a team page:** the legal name and the country are the company facts this page stands behind. ## Where are the rules written? In four places: [how the service works](https://gloamport.com/how-it-works/ "How does a Gloamport VPS order work, and what rules apply?"), the [terms of service](https://gloamport.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"), the [privacy policy](https://gloamport.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy") and the [acceptable-use policy](https://gloamport.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). Between them they cover what may run on a VPS, what is recorded about you and the law that applies to the contract. ## How do I reach Gloamport? By email: support@gloamport.com for support and abuse@gloamport.com for abuse reports. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules. There is no phone line and no chat. The [contact page](https://gloamport.com/contact/ "How can I reach Gloamport support or report abuse?") says what a message should hold and what it must never hold. ## About the company: short answers ### Where is Gloamport registered? In Panama, as DomaineGoat LLC. The VPS themselves run in Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). ### Does Gloamport need to know who I am? No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. The [terms](https://gloamport.com/terms/ "Terms of Service") set two conditions: Accounts are for people aged 18 or over, and people from the countries they list cannot use the service. ### Does Gloamport show customer reviews? No. The brand was created in November 2026 and has nothing to quote. Judge it on dated prices, the reference plan behind each one and the terms you can read. ### How old is the price survey? It was read on 10 November 2026. Prices of competing plans can change after that date, and the references are checked again before the numbers on this site are changed. **Eight plans, one rule behind each price** From $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, paid in crypto, with no identity document.

A complaint is read against Panamanian law and these rules, and a VPS used for a banned purpose is suspended. ## 1. Scope This policy applies to every VPS, every IP address assigned to it and every service you run there, including what other people do with access you give them. It forms part of the [terms of service](https://gloamport.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"). ## 2. Law we apply Gloamport is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and Panamanian law is the law it answers to. Each datacenter is also bound by the law of the country where it stands. A complaint, from anyone, is judged against Panamanian law and the rules on this page, and not against the rules of the complainant's own country. ## 3. What is allowed A lot. You have root on a Linux KVM machine, and you may run web servers, VPNs, chat and mail servers, databases, build machines, game servers, research tools and your own services of any size the plan can carry. Tor is covered in section 5. A node that only validates a blockchain is not mining. ## 4. Forbidden uses Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. In practice that means: - **Spam and bulk email:** unsolicited mail, mailing lists without consent, and anything sent from a forged identity. - **Phishing and fraud:** pages or messages that imitate a person or company to take credentials or money; carding; selling stolen data. - **Malware and botnets:** hosting, spreading or controlling malicious software, command servers included. - **Attacks:** DDoS and every other attack, plus booter and stresser services. - **Scanning:** port scans, vulnerability scans and brute-force attempts against systems you do not own or have no written leave to test. - **Child sexual abuse material:** forbidden in every form, with no exception. A VPS involved is suspended at once. - **Mining:** Cryptocurrency mining is not allowed on any plan. Running a node that only validates a blockchain is not mining. - **Sanctioned parties:** any service to a person or company on a sanctions list, and anyone from the places named in the terms. ## 5. Tor and onion services Tor relays may run on any plan, exit relays included, and so may bridges and onion services. Running a relay does not excuse the forbidden uses above: a Tor exit with abusive traffic from your own services on it is judged by the same rules as any other VPS. ## 6. Mail and port 25 Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. Mail sent through a provider on 465 or 587 is still bound by the ban on spam. ## 7. Copyright notices A DMCA notice or another foreign copyright claim is handled under Panamanian law: on its own it leads to no action. Only Panamanian law and an order of a Panamanian court bind us. A notice backed by an order of a Panamanian court is acted on. If you are the person who owns the work, you are still free to take the matter to a Panamanian court. ## 8. Abuse reports Send reports to abuse@gloamport.com, not to support. Complaints are read against Panamanian law and our acceptable-use rules. Spam, phishing, malware, botnet control, attacks of any kind and child sexual abuse material are banned outright: a VPS used for them is suspended. A report we can act on has: the Gloamport IP address; the date and time of each event in UTC; the kind of abuse; evidence such as log lines, full mail headers or URLs; and a way to reach you. The more precise it is, the sooner the VPS can be found. Reports without evidence are read but may not lead to anything. ## 9. Suspension When a report holds up, the VPS is suspended, and the dashboard shows it as suspended. Days left on a VPS suspended for abuse are not credited, and after the 7-day hold the disk is wiped. ## 10. Appeals If you think a suspension was a mistake, write to support@gloamport.com with the IP address of the VPS and what the VPS was doing. We answer within 12 hours. A VPS is restored when the facts show no breach. ## 11. Legal orders What we hold is only what billing and running a VPS need: the account number, and an email if you added one; each top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and for each VPS its plan, term, city, image, SSH public key, IP addresses and dates, plus the temporary root password set when no key was given, which stops working once you change it. The network equipment of each datacenter belongs to the datacenter. Records are handed over only on an order of a Panamanian court. Only Panamanian law and an order of a Panamanian court can make us release anything. ## 12. Changes A change to this policy is dated at the top and applies from that day. --- Gloamport: Gloamport is a VPS provider that sells Linux KVM servers with no KYC, ordered with an account number and paid in crypto, Monero first; it is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a Panama-registered company. An order asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address: no name, no postal address, no phone and no identity document. On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # Is an anonymous VPS really anonymous? > No VPS is fully anonymous. A no-KYC VPS keeps your ID off the record, but accounts, payments and IP addresses still link. 6 of 42 hosts skip email. - URL: https://gloamport.com/anonymous-vps/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) A VPS with no KYC removes your name and your ID from the sale. It does not remove the trail around it. This page lists both sides. **Quick answer — Is an anonymous VPS really anonymous?** No. An anonymous VPS does not exist in the strict sense: a no-KYC VPS such as Gloamport’s keeps your name and ID document out of the sale, but the host still links your account, your payments and the server’s IP address. In Gloamport’s survey, 36 of 42 active hosts also require an email. ## What does a no-KYC VPS hide, and what does it leave visible? | Item | Hidden at Gloamport? | Who can still see it | | --- | --- | --- | | Legal name | Not collected | Nobody on our side; it never enters the form | | ID document, selfie, proof of address | Not asked | Nobody on our side | | Email address | Optional | Gloamport, if you add one | | A Monero payment | Off the public ledger | Gloamport, which checks it in its own wallet | | A Bitcoin or USDT payment | No: public on its ledger | Anyone who links the address to you | | The link between account, orders, VPS IP addresses and declared TXID | No | Gloamport | | The server’s public IP address | No | Every site and service the server contacts | | Your own IP address when you log in over SSH | No | The network between you and the server, and the server itself | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* The first four rows follow the Gloamport order form. The others follow from how networks and ledgers work. ## What does “anonymous” mean for a VPS? It means nobody can tie an action to you. A VPS with no KYC is pseudonymous: actions are tied to an account number, not to your name. The difference is the one fact worth quoting. A no-KYC VPS is pseudonymous, not anonymous: the host knows an account, its payments and its IP addresses, but not who you are. Selling a server as “anonymous” promises more than any host can deliver. ## What does a VPS with no KYC actually hide? It hides identity documents and personal details from the sale. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. For a person who prefers not to hand over identity documents to a hosting company, that is the real gain. ## What does a VPS with no KYC not hide? It does not hide the trail. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. It does not hide a payment on a public ledger either. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. The server is also a public address. Every site it contacts sees the IP address of your VPS, and the VPS is registered to your account. What you publish from it, including a domain name or a certificate, can point back to you. ## Is Monero anonymous? Monero keeps the payment off the public record, and that is a different claim. The Monero Project states that the sender, receiver and amount of every transaction are hidden. That protects the ledger. It does not protect the account at the host. The comparison with Bitcoin is on [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"). ## How do people lose privacy on a VPS with no KYC? Mostly by linking the server to something they already own. - Paying from an exchange account that holds their ID. - Adding the email they use everywhere else. - Reusing an SSH key, a username or a domain name from another server. - Logging in from a home IP address they have used for their real accounts. The last one has a technical fix; one route is in [How do I SSH into my VPS over Tor?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-ssh-into-a-vps-over-tor/ "How do I SSH into my VPS over Tor?"). ## How many hosts collect more than a VPS needs? According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 36 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts require an email, 13 ask for a full name and 9 for a postal address. No ID document is asked by 28 hosts, which is the narrow thing a no-KYC VPS promises. The reasons hosts ask for ID are explained in [What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-kyc-in-vps-hosting/ "What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?"). ## How much does a no-KYC VPS cost at Gloamport? Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). | Plan | Quantity | 30 days | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | Ember · 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM | — | $22.44 | $35.90 (−20%) | $44.88 (−50%) | | Dusk | Dusk · 1 vCPU · 2 GB RAM | — | $31.50 | $50.40 (−20%) | $63 (−50%) | | Gloam | Gloam · 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM | $16.50 | $49.50 | $79.20 (−20%) | $99 (−50%) | | Night | Night · 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM | $27 | $81 | $129.60 (−20%) | $162 (−50%) | | Aurora | Aurora · 8 vCPU · 16 GB RAM | $41.24 | $123.72 | $197.95 (−20%) | $247.44 (−50%) | | Halo | Halo · 12 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $51.74 | $155.22 | $248.35 (−20%) | $310.44 (−50%) | | Nebula | Nebula · 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $84.08 | $252.24 | $403.58 (−20%) | $504.48 (−50%) | | Zenith | Zenith · 32 vCPU · 64 GB RAM | $232.50 | $697.50 | $1,116 (−20%) | $1,395 (−50%) | In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min **In summary** - A no-KYC VPS is pseudonymous, not anonymous. - Gloamport collects no name, address, phone number or ID document; the email is optional. - Gloamport still links your account, orders, VPS IP addresses and declared TXID. - A Monero payment is off the public ledger; Bitcoin and USDT payments are public. - The server’s IP address is public to every service it contacts. - 36 of 42 active hosts require an email address. - You lose privacy mostly by linking the server to your exchange, email, SSH key or home IP. ## Common questions ### Can a host see what I run on my VPS? A host that gives you a full KVM server controls the machine your server runs on. Gloamport lets you set up your own disk encryption, but treat the host as a party that can be compelled or compromised. ### Does a no-KYC VPS hide my IP address? No. Your VPS has a public IP address registered to your account, and your own IP is visible to the server when you log in. ### Is paying with Monero enough to be anonymous? No. Monero hides the payment on the ledger. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. ### Why do some hosts still ask for an email? 36 hosts in the survey require one, usually for receipts, notices and password resets. Gloamport makes it optional and accepts that a lost account number then cannot be recovered. ### What is the safest way to describe a VPS with no KYC? Say it is sold without identity documents and paid in crypto. That is true and checkable. “Anonymous” promises more than the host controls. ## Sources 1.

The ranking counts six checks that any reader can verify on a host's public pages: Monero accepted, email not required, name not asked, ID document not asked, an onion address for the site, and crypto taken through the host's own wallet or gateway. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of 42 active hosts do not ask for an ID document at signup, 6 do not require an email, and only 10 publish an onion address. A host that does not state a fact scores as not met. The full Monero table is in [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). The six checks cover sign-up and payment. They say nothing about speed or uptime, and Gloamport has not benchmarked any host. ## Which no-KYC VPS is best if you want no email at all? Servury and Kyun, because both ask for no email at sign-up; Njalla and NiceVPS make it optional. Gloamport sits with the optional group: an account is a random number, and an email can be added later or never. If a recovery by email matters to you, that choice has a price: without an email, nobody can bring a lost account number back. The full list is in [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?"). ## Which no-KYC VPS is best for a small monthly bill? VSYS Host lists the least expensive 1 vCPU, 2 GB plan in the survey at $7.00 a month, and Kyun's custom 1 vCPU, 2 GiB plan comes to $6.62. VSYS Host requires an email and may ask for an ID document on triggers. Month to month, Gloamport's Dusk is $10.50; on a 12-month term it is $5.25 a month. The medians for every size are in [What does a no-KYC VPS cost per month in November 2026?](https://gloamport.com/no-kyc-vps-price-index/ "What does a no-KYC VPS cost per month in November 2026?"). ## Which no-KYC VPS is best if you want an onion address? Any of the ten hosts that publish one: Njalla, FlokiNET, Privex, PrivateAlps, Servury, Servers.Guru, MyNymBox, NiceVPS, Kyun and DarkVPS. Servury, NiceVPS, Kyun and Njalla pair the onion address with a sign-up that needs no required email. FlokiNET publishes three. Gloamport has none, so it is the wrong pick for a reader who wants to order over Tor. ## When is Gloamport the best choice, and when is it not? Gloamport is the best choice for a plain Linux KVM VPS from one of eight plans, ordered with an account number, paid in Monero or six other coins, in Reykjavik, Bucharest or Amsterdam. It is not the best choice for more than three locations or for Windows. In those cases, pick from the ranking above. ## Best no-KYC VPS: common questions ### What is the best no-KYC VPS for Monero? By the six checks, Servury and NiceVPS, which take Monero, need no required email, ask no name or ID document, publish an onion address and run their own wallets. Gloamport also takes Monero and meets five. ### Is the least expensive no-KYC VPS the best one? Not by this ranking. The least expensive 1 vCPU, 2 GB plan is $7.00 at VSYS Host, which requires an email and may ask for an ID document on triggers, so it meets two of six checks. ### Does the ranking measure speed or uptime? No. It scores what a host publishes about sign-up and payment. Gloamport has not tested the speed or uptime of any host. ### Where does Gloamport rank? Fourth of nine: it meets five of six checks, and ahead of Njalla on price. It loses the onion check because it has no onion address. **In summary** - Nine hosts are ranked on six checks read on 10 November 2026. - Servury and NiceVPS meet all six checks. - Kyun, Gloamport and Njalla meet five; Gloamport has no onion address. - VSYS Host lists the least expensive 1 vCPU, 2 GB plan at $7.00, with an email requirement. - Gloamport's Dusk is $10.50 a month, $5.25 on 12 months. - Speed and uptime are not measured. ## Sources 1.

On 10 November 2026, BitLaunch lists Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin, no Monero and no public price list. Gloamport accepts Monero among seven coins and publishes eight plans from $7.48 a month. BitLaunch covers 23 locations; Gloamport has three. ## How do BitLaunch and Gloamport compare as a VPS host? | Criterion | BitLaunch | Gloamport | | --- | --- | --- | | Coins | BTC, ETH, LTC; other coins through a third-party swap service | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR | | Monero | No Monero option found | Yes | | Payment system | Its own in-house system | Its own wallet addresses, no third-party processor | | Public price list | No: the pricing page returns an error and sizes show after sign-up | Yes: eight plans, $7.48 to $232.50 a month | | Sign-up | Email and a password; temporary mailboxes are not blocked | A plan, a coin and an optional email; the account is a random number | | Locations | 23 listed, in 16 countries | Reykjavik, Bucharest, Amsterdam | | Own onion address | None found | No | | Outgoing mail | SMTP blocked by default | Port 25 closed; ports 465 and 587 open | | Payment screening | Blocks payments from known illicit wallets (own blog, read 2026-10-29) | Checks the sending address against public sanctions lists where the chain makes it public | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* BitLaunch facts are from the pages listed under Sources, read on 10 November 2026 unless dated otherwise. ## Does BitLaunch accept Monero? No Monero option appears on the pages the survey read. BitLaunch's payments help article describes an in-house payment system for Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin, and says other coins go through a third-party swap service, flyp.me. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, BitLaunch is one of the 16 hosts of 42 that do not list Monero. A reader who wants to pay a VPS in Monero will find it at 26 other hosts, listed in [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). ## Where is BitLaunch the better choice? BitLaunch is the better choice if you need a server in a specific country that Gloamport does not cover. Its homepage lists 23 locations in 16 countries, including eight US cities, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Australia and India. Gloamport has Reykjavik, Bucharest and Amsterdam. BitLaunch also keeps sign-up light: its privacy article says it needs only an email and a password. ## Where is Gloamport the better choice? Gloamport is the better choice if you want to pay in Monero and see the price before you sign up. The eight plans and their prices are public, from $7.48 to $232.50 a month, with 20% off for 6 months and 50% off for 12. A plan-by-plan price comparison needs a public price list, and BitLaunch's homepage shows no prices and its pricing page returned a 404 error on 10 November 2026, so this page does not compare prices plan by plan. The order asks for a plan, a coin and an optional email. ## Does paying in Monero make a VPS order private? Only in part: Monero hides the payment on the ledger, not the order at the host. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. The full method is in [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## What should you check before choosing a VPS host that takes Monero? Check five things on the host's own pages: the coins, the sign-up fields, the payment route, the price list and the locations. A host that lists Monero should say which network and how many confirmations it waits for. The sign-up page should say whether an email is required. The payment route should say whether the host holds its own wallet or hands the payment to a processor. The price list should be readable without an account. For BitLaunch, the survey found a payment system of its own, an email and a password at sign-up, no public price list and 23 locations. For Gloamport, it is a wallet of its own, an optional email, eight public plans and three cities. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. ## What do Gloamport plans cost? | Plan | Quantity | 30 days | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | Ember · 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM | — | $22.44 | $35.90 (−20%) | $44.88 (−50%) | | Dusk | Dusk · 1 vCPU · 2 GB RAM | — | $31.50 | $50.40 (−20%) | $63 (−50%) | | Gloam | Gloam · 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM | $16.50 | $49.50 | $79.20 (−20%) | $99 (−50%) | In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min ## BitLaunch alternative: common questions ### Can I pay BitLaunch with Monero? The survey found no Monero option on BitLaunch pages on 10 November 2026. The payments article lists Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin and a third-party swap service for other coins. ### Does BitLaunch ask for ID? Its privacy article says it needs an email and a password, and the survey found no ID document asked at sign-up. ### How many locations does BitLaunch have? Its homepage lists 23 locations in 16 countries on 10 November 2026. ### Does Gloamport publish its prices? Yes. The eight plans, from $7.48 to $232.50 a month, are on the pricing page without an account. ### What is the best VPS host that takes Monero? It depends on the criteria. The ranking in [What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?](https://gloamport.com/best-no-kyc-vps/ "What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?") scores nine hosts, Gloamport among them, on the same six checks. **In summary** - BitLaunch lists Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin and no Monero option. - Gloamport accepts Monero among seven coins. - BitLaunch shows no public price list; Gloamport publishes eight plans from $7.48 a month. - BitLaunch lists 23 locations in 16 countries; Gloamport has three. - Neither runs an onion address for its site. - Monero hides the payment on the ledger; the host still links account, orders and IP addresses. ## Sources 1.

What a BTC payment reveals, in plain terms. - URL: https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-bitcoin/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Bitcoin is the easiest coin to hold and the most visible to pay with. This page covers the steps and what the ledger shows afterwards. **Quick answer — How do I buy a VPS with Bitcoin?** To buy a VPS with Bitcoin at Gloamport, choose BTC at checkout and send the exact amount from your own wallet to the address shown. The payment is credited after 2 network confirmations, with no ID document asked. Plans start at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. Bitcoin is a public ledger, so the payment stays visible. ## What are the steps to buy a VPS with Bitcoin? 1. **Choose a plan and a term** — Pick one of the eight plans and 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). 2. **Create your account** — Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. 3. **Select BTC as the coin** — The checkout shows a Bitcoin address and the exact amount to send. 4. **Send the exact amount from your wallet** — Send it from a wallet whose keys you hold. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. 5. **Wait for 2 confirmations** — The payment is credited after 2 network confirmations. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. 6. **Log in over SSH** — A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. ## What does a Bitcoin payment reveal compared with Monero? | What can be seen | Bitcoin (BTC) | Monero (XMR) | | --- | --- | --- | | Sender | Public on the ledger | Hidden | | Receiver | Public on the ledger | Hidden | | Amount | Public on the ledger | Hidden | | Confirmations before credit at Gloamport | 2 | 10 (about 20 minutes) | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Monero hiding sender, receiver and amount is stated by the Monero Project. Bitcoin’s ledger is public; Gloamport’s own account records apply to both coins. ## What does a Bitcoin payment reveal about me? It reveals the paying address, the amount and the time to anyone who looks. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. A Bitcoin address carries no name. It starts to carry one when it is linked to you: by an exchange that holds your ID, by a purchase you made earlier, or by a payment you reuse. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. ## Should I pay from an exchange or from my own wallet? Pay from a wallet whose keys you hold. An exchange that knows your identity also knows which address you withdrew to, so a direct payment puts its record of you one step from our address. A wallet funded earlier puts a step between the two, but the ledger still shows the path. Neither route makes the payment private. It only changes who holds the record. ## Does Gloamport use a payment processor for Bitcoin? No. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 14 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts name a third-party processor, 9 run their own gateway and 19 do not say. For example, the SwissLayer and VPS.BG pages state a self-hosted setup, while HostSailor’s sends crypto payments through CoinGate. ## Can I pay for a VPS over the Lightning Network? Not at Gloamport: the coins accepted are BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, and Lightning is not among them. If Lightning is what you need, the survey found 4 hosts that list it, including MyNymBox through its self-hosted BTCPay Server and TLDBunker. TLDBunker was still pre-launch on 10 November 2026. ## When is Monero a better choice than Bitcoin for a VPS? Monero is the better choice when you do not want the payment on a public ledger. Bitcoin is the better choice when it is the coin you already hold and the visibility of the payment does not matter to you. The Monero route is on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"), and the side-by-side is on [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"). ## How much does a VPS cost when I pay with Bitcoin? The price in dollars is the same in every coin.

Gloamport credits a Bitcoin payment after 2 network confirmations. A Monero payment needs 10, about 20 minutes. ### Is paying with Bitcoin private? No, not on the ledger. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Monero is the coin on the checkout that a public explorer does not display. ### Do I need an email to pay with Bitcoin? No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. ### Can I pay from an exchange account? You can send from any wallet or exchange withdrawal that accepts an address and an amount. The exchange then holds a record that links your identity to our address. ### Does the price change if I pay in Bitcoin? The dollar price is the same in every coin. No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. ## Sources 1.

The payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes, and the VPS is ready within 1 hour at most. Plans start at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. ## What are the steps to buy a VPS with Monero? You need a Monero wallet that you control and enough XMR to cover the plan and term you pick. 1. **Choose a plan and a term** — Pick Ember, Dusk, Gloam, Night, Aurora, Halo, Nebula or Zenith, then 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard. 2. **Create your account** — Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. 3. **Select XMR as the coin** — The checkout shows the Monero address and the exact amount to send. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. 4. **Send the exact amount from your wallet** — Copy the address and the amount, and send them from a wallet you control. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. 5. **Wait for 10 confirmations** — A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Keep the transaction ID (TXID) your wallet shows: For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. 6. **Log in to your VPS** — A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. ## How does a Monero payment differ from the other coins? | Coin | Sender and amount on a public explorer | Confirmations before credit | | --- | --- | --- | | Monero (XMR) | Not shown | 10 (about 20 minutes) | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Shown | 2 | | USDT on Tron (TRC-20) | Shown | 20 | | USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) | Shown | 12 | | USDC (ERC-20), ETH | Shown | 12 | | Litecoin (LTC) | Shown | 6 | | Solana (SOL) | Shown | 1 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Gloamport accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. Monero is the only coin on this list whose payments a public explorer does not display. ## Why must I send the exact amount in XMR? Because a Monero payment is matched by its amount and its transaction ID. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. A public explorer cannot confirm a Monero payment for anyone, so the check happens in the Gloamport wallet, not on a website. Send the full amount shown at checkout in one transaction, and keep the TXID until the VPS is running. ## How long does a Monero payment take to confirm? About 20 minutes. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes; the wait is the network’s, not a review by the team. After the credit, a person builds the VPS. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. The dashboard shows the progress and then the IP address. Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. ## What does Monero hide when I pay for a VPS? It hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of the transaction from public view. The Monero Project states that these three are hidden for every transaction. It does not hide the order from your own account. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. For payment privacy this is the sentence to remember: Monero protects the ledger, and the account keeps its own records. A longer comparison with Bitcoin is on [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"), and the view key the team uses to check a payment is explained in [What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-a-monero-view-key/ "What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?"). ## How many VPS hosts accept Monero?

If you prefer to start from the email question, read [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?"). ## What if I pay with a coin other than Monero? Every coin on the checkout works the same way: copy the address, send the exact amount, wait for the confirmations. The difference is what the ledger shows afterwards. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when.

You can send XMR from any wallet that lets you enter an address and an amount. An exchange that holds your ID still knows which address you withdrew to, so a wallet you control keeps one fewer party in the chain. ### Is Monero payment to Gloamport private?

No. The plan price is the same in every coin, and No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. ### What happens if I lose my account number?

With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. ### Can I renew a VPS with Monero? Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. ## Sources 1. [What is Monero (XMR)?](https://www.getmonero.org/get-started/what-is-monero/) — Monero Project (getmonero.org) (checked 2026-11-10) --- Gloamport: Gloamport is a VPS provider that sells Linux KVM servers with no KYC, ordered with an account number and paid in crypto, Monero first; it is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a Panama-registered company.

Plans from $3.74 a month. - URL: https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-usdt/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) USDT tracks the dollar and runs on several networks. Picking the right one is the only step that can go wrong. **Quick answer — Can I pay for a VPS with USDT?** Yes. Gloamport accepts USDT on two networks, Tron (TRC-20) with 20 confirmations and Ethereum (ERC-20) with 12. Send it on the network that matches the address shown at checkout. No ID document is asked, and plans start at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. ## Which USDT networks does Gloamport accept? | Network | Token standard | Confirmations before credit | Also used for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tron | TRC-20 | 20 | USDT only | | Ethereum | ERC-20 | 12 | USDT, USDC and ETH share one network | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* USDT sent on any other network is not on the Gloamport checkout list. Gloamport accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. ## Which network should I send USDT on? Use Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), whichever your wallet holds, and match it to the address you copied at checkout. The checkout lists one address per network. Tether lists many networks for USDT, among them Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Avalanche, TON and Aptos. A token with the same name on a different network is a different asset on a different ledger. Do not send BEP-20, Polygon or Solana USDT: they are not on our list. A step-by-step version is on [How do I send USDT on the right network (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-send-usdt-on-the-right-network/ "How do I send USDT on the right network (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?"). ## What does a USDT payment reveal? A USDT payment is public on its network. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. That holds for TRC-20 and for ERC-20. The account side is separate. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number.

USDT tracks the dollar, so the amount you owe stays close to the plan price while you wait for the confirmations. Plans are priced in dollars; a coin whose price moves can make the amount you sent differ from the amount due. The cost is the network fee, which is set by the network you choose, not by Gloamport. Send the full amount so that it arrives complete: some wallets and exchanges take the fee out of the amount you enter. ## How many VPS hosts accept USDT? About half of the hosts in the survey do. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 21 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts list USDT, 26 list Monero and 4 list Lightning. Networks differ by host: Servury lists ERC-20, TRC-20 and BEP-20, VPSDEN lists TRC-20 and ERC-20, TLDBunker lists TRC-20 and NiceVPS lists ERC-20. Check the network before you send, whatever the host. ## Is USDT payment to Gloamport handled by a processor? No. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. The same wallets receive every coin on the list. Before a payment is credited, Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. A USDT payment is public, so that check can run on it. ## What should I check before I send USDT? Check the network, the address and the amount, in that order. - **Network.** Your wallet or exchange asks which network to use. Pick Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) to match the address you copied. - **Address.** Copy it from the checkout, and compare the first and last characters after you paste it. - **Amount.** Send the full plan price, and add the network fee on top if your wallet deducts it from the amount. - **Confirmations.** Wait for 20 on Tron or 12 on Ethereum. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address once the VPS boots. When the credit arrives, A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. ## How much does a VPS cost when I pay with USDT?

No. The Gloamport checkout lists Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20) for USDT. Send only on a network the checkout shows. ### Which is cheaper, TRC-20 or ERC-20? The network sets the fee, not Gloamport, and it changes over time. Check the fee shown by your wallet before you send, and make sure the full amount arrives. ### Does USDT hide my identity? No. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. USDT payments stay visible on their network. ### Can I pay with USDC instead? Yes. USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20), with 12 confirmations. ### Do I need an email to pay with USDT? No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address.

Survey prices from $4.99, checked 10 Nov 2026. - URL: https://gloamport.com/cheap-vps-no-kyc/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) The small plans are where the price gap is widest. Here are the least expensive ones in the survey, with what each host asks in return. **Quick answer — Where can I find a cheap VPS with no KYC?** A cheap VPS with no KYC starts near $5 a month in the survey. Gloamport’s Ember (1 vCPU, 1 GB) is $3.74 a month on the 12-month term or $7.48 on 3 months, and Dusk (1 vCPU, 2 GB) is $5.25 or $10.50. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. ## Which no-KYC hosts sell a small VPS for the least per month? | Host | Plan | vCPU / RAM / disk | Per month | Monero | Email | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | VSYS Host | VS-NVME1-2 | 1 / 2 GB / 40 GB NVMe | $7.00 | Yes | Required | | AliasVPS | Starter | 2 / 4 GB / 60 GB NVMe | $8.50 | Yes | Required | | Servers.Guru | VPS NL 2 | 2 / 4 GB / 40 GB NVMe | €7.99 ($8.96) | Yes | Required | | LiteServer | NVME-2G | 2 / 2 GB / 40 GB NVMe | €8.00 ($8.97) | No | Required | | HostSailor | Sailor NVMe | 2 / 2 GB / 50 GB NVMe | $8.99 | Not stated | Required | | Bit.Hosting | BitCore | 2 / 4 GB / 40 GB NVMe | $9.00 | Yes | Required | | CryptoVPS.host | KVM Netherlands NVMe - Starter | 2 / 2 GB / 40 GB NVMe | $9.50 | Yes | Required | | Servury | Blackbox Core | 2 / 4 GB / 50 GB NVMe | $9.99 | Yes | None | | Privex | V2-SE-HDD | 2 / 2 GB / 325 GB | $10.00 | Yes | Required | | MyNymBox | KVM VPS 2 GB | 2 / 2 GB / 40 GB NVMe | €10.00 ($11.21) | Yes | Required | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* The ten least expensive of 32 hosts with a comparable plan. ## Which small no-KYC VPS plans cost the least? At the smallest size, the two least expensive plans in the survey are HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99 a month and VSYS Host VS-NVME1-1 at $5.00. At 1 vCPU / 2 GB the least expensive is VSYS Host at $7.00. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, the median plan at the smallest size is $10.55 a month across 32 hosts, so the least expensive plans cost less than half the median. The full ranking, with more criteria than price, is on [What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?](https://gloamport.com/best-no-kyc-vps/ "What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?"). ## What do you give up on the least expensive plans? Look at the other columns of the table. The two least expensive plans at the smallest size both require an email, and HostSailor does not state whether it accepts Monero. HostSailor sends crypto payments through CoinGate, and VSYS Host reserves the right to ask for documents that prove you own the paying account. That is not a flaw in the plan. It is the reason to compare what a host asks, not only what it charges. Servury is the only host in the 1 vCPU / 2 GB table with no email field. ## How cheap is a Gloamport VPS? On the 12-month term, Ember is $3.74 a month and Dusk is $5.25. Each is at least 25% under a named reference plan: Ember against HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99, Dusk against VSYS Host VS-NVME1-2 at $7.00. On 3 months, the smallest term for both, the order flips. Ember is $7.48 a month and Dusk $10.50, both above their references. The price advantage comes from paying 12 months in advance. On the 12-month term, each plan costs at least 25% less than a named reference plan read on 10 November 2026: Ember against HostSailor “Mini Sailor” at $4.99 a month; Dusk against VSYS Host “VS-NVME1-2” at $7.00 a month; Gloam against VSYS Host “VS-NVME2-4” at $11.00 a month; Night against VSYS Host “VS-NVME4-8” at $18.00 a month; Aurora against AliasVPS “Pro” at $27.50 a month; Halo against AliasVPS “Scale” at $34.50 a month; Nebula against Servers.Guru “10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB” at €49.99 ($56.06) a month; Zenith against Bit.Hosting “BitInfinity” at $155.00 a month. A reference is a plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, billed one month at a time and not sold out, at one of the 38 VPS hosts in our survey that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document; for each size it is the one with the smallest monthly price, and two of our plans never share one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Euro prices use 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026); the 1-month price is the 12-month monthly price divided by 0.5. ## What do Ember and Dusk include? | Plan | Specs | Per month on 3 months (minimum) | Per month on 12 months | Suited to | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic | $7.48 | $3.74 | A WireGuard VPN for a few devices | | Dusk | 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic | $10.50 | $5.25 | A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Every plan has one IPv4 address, an IPv6 /64 and a 1 Gbit/s port. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. ## Is Ember or Dusk the better small plan? Dusk, for most uses. Ember has 1 GB of RAM and 20 GB of NVMe, enough for a WireGuard VPN for a few devices. Dusk doubles both for $5.25 a month and carries the Recommended badge, which is advice, not a sales figure. If you plan to run more than one service, step up to Gloam: A Matrix server, Vaultwarden and SearXNG together. ## What does a cheap VPS leave out? Plans do not include the extras a larger budget would buy. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. No DDoS protection is sold or promised beyond the standard filtering of the datacenter network. No free trial: the smallest plan, Ember, is sold for 3 months at least, $22.44, or $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. What you do get is the same on every plan: Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. NVMe storage on every plan. A reinstall is a request from the dashboard, and it erases the disk. ## How do I pay for a cheap VPS without leaving a trail? Pay with Monero from a wallet you control. The Monero payment is off the public ledger, and A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number.

In the survey it is HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99 a month (1 vCPU / 1 GB / 30 GB NVMe), with an email required. At Gloamport the smallest plan is Ember. ### Is a cheap VPS good enough for a VPN? Ember is sized for A WireGuard VPN for a few devices. Dusk adds room for a Tor relay or an onion site: A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site. ### Can I pay for a cheap VPS for a short term? Yes, from 3 months: Ember starts at $22.44 for 3 months and Dusk at $31.50 for 3 months. Six months take 20% off and 12 months take 50% off. ### Does the cheap plan need an email address? No. At Gloamport the email is optional on every plan. ### Are there hidden costs? No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. ## Sources 1.

No phone and no chat. - URL: https://gloamport.com/contact/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Two email addresses and nothing else. What to put in a message, what never to send, and what to do with a lost account number. **Quick answer — How do I contact Gloamport support?** Email **Gloamport** support at support@gloamport.com about orders, payments, SSH access and reinstalls; the answer comes within 12 hours. Report abuse coming from a Gloamport IP address to abuse@gloamport.com. Quote the IP address of your VPS, and never your account number. As of 10 November 2026 there is no phone line and no chat. > **Three things you never send** Your account number, your root password and your private SSH key stay with you. From our side the rule is plain: Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your root password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. A message that asks for any of them is fake, whatever name or address it shows. ## Addresses and replies | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Support | support@gloamport.com | | Who answers | A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules | | Abuse reports | abuse@gloamport.com | | Language | English | | Phone and chat | None | | Signing in | Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never | ## What makes a support email quick to answer? **Say which VPS and show the problem, so support can act without a first round of questions.** Include: - **the IP address** of the VPS, its city and its image, for example Debian 13 in Bucharest; - **the exact error**, pasted and not retyped, such as `Permission denied (publickey)` or `Connection timed out`; - **the time** it happened, in UTC; - **what you already tried**: a reboot from the dashboard, another key, another network. One problem per message keeps the thread easy to follow. ## What must never appear in a message? **The account number, the root password and the private SSH key.** Each of them alone is enough to take over your account or your VPS. The public half of an SSH key, the file ending in `.pub`, is safe to paste. If a secret slipped into a message, change it at once: run `passwd` for the root password, or replace the key in `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`. ## How do I report abuse coming from a Gloamport IP address? **Write to abuse@gloamport.com, not to support, with enough detail to find the VPS and see what it did.** Include: - the Gloamport IP address and, if you know it, the port; - the date and time of each event, in UTC; - the kind of abuse: spam, phishing, malware, a botnet controller, an attack, a scan or a brute-force attempt; - evidence such as log lines, full mail headers, URLs or a packet capture; - an address where a reply can reach you. The banned uses are listed in the [acceptable-use policy](https://gloamport.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"), which also explains how reports are read. ## I lost my account number. Can support give it back? **Only through an email address you added beforehand.** Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. If no email is on the account, writing to support will not help: the account was opened without proof of who you are, so nothing could show that it is yours. Keep the number in a password manager, and add an email in the dashboard if you want a way back. ## Is there a phone number or a chat? No. Gloamport answers by email only, from the two addresses on this page. It runs no phone line and no chat account. Anyone who writes to you as Gloamport from somewhere else is not us, so do not pay or sign in through a link they send. ## Where are answers already written? Many questions are settled before you write: - plans, terms and prices: [pricing](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"); - payment, delivery and how a VPS is built: the [FAQ](https://gloamport.com/faq/ "What do people ask before buying a VPS with no KYC?") and [how it works](https://gloamport.com/how-it-works/ "How does a Gloamport VPS order work, and what rules apply?"); - credits for days lost and the minimum top-up: the [refund policy](https://gloamport.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy"); - what is recorded about you: the [privacy policy](https://gloamport.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"); - renewals, suspension and the end of a term: the [terms of service](https://gloamport.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"). ## Support: short answers ### How fast does Gloamport support reply? A person replies within 12 hours, in English. Abuse reports have their own address, abuse@gloamport.com. ### Can support reboot or reinstall my VPS? Reboots and reinstalls are requested from the dashboard and carried out by the team; a reinstall erases the disk. Write to support if SSH still does not answer after a reboot, with the IP address and the time in UTC. ### Will support ever ask for my password? No. A message that asks for your account number, root password or private key is fake, even if it seems to come from support@gloamport.com. ### Can I add an email address after signing up? Yes. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. With an email on the account, a forgotten number can be sent back to you. **Not written yet? Start with the plans** Eight Linux plans from $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, in three cities, paid in crypto with no identity document.

On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC? > Crypto processors verify the merchants they pay out; checks on shoppers vary. 14 surveyed VPS hosts use one, Gloamport none. - URL: https://gloamport.com/do-crypto-payment-processors-require-kyc/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) **Quick answer — Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?** Yes: crypto payment processors ask for KYC from the merchants they pay out, and sometimes for shoppers. CoinPayments, CoinGate, BitPay and Cryptomus publish verification rules; NOWPayments asks only for fiat features or a flagged transaction. Gloamport uses no processor: 14 of 42 surveyed hosts do. ## What do five payment processors say about KYC? | Processor | Merchant (the host) | Shopper (you) | | --- | --- | --- | | CoinPayments | Business verification (KYB) at onboarding: proof of legal existence, documents on directors and beneficial owners, and identity checks on associated people | Not stated on its public pages; its FAQ says every transaction passes through AML, KYC/KYB and sanctions controls | | CoinGate | Business details, ownership and control, a live website, and a government photo ID with a selfie check | Not stated on its public pages for invoice payers | | BitPay | Business verification with IDs for every owner of 25% or more, plus a business registration document | A one-time BitPay ID check for purchases over $3,000 USD, payouts or refunds, and VPN use; its terms also require shopper due diligence onboarding | | NOWPayments | KYB/KYC required for fiat features; for crypto-only use, only in a rare case when a transaction is marked suspicious | Same rule: only when a transaction is marked suspicious; a photo of an ID, proof of the source of funds and a selfie are listed | | Cryptomus | Identity verification before onboarding; for legal entities, structure, directors, shareholders and owners | Same policy covers any customer of its services; UK-sanctioned since 8 October 2026 (see below) | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Every cell comes from the processor's own pages or, for the sanctions, from the UK Sanctions List, listed under Sources. "Not stated on its public pages" means the pages read on 2026-11-10 do not say. ## What is a crypto payment processor? A crypto payment processor is a company that takes a crypto payment for a merchant, so the merchant needs no wallet of its own. The shopper sends coins to an address the processor controls, and the processor settles with the merchant, in coins or in fiat. That middle position is why KYC appears in two places. The processor verifies the merchant it pays out, and it may screen the payment that arrives. A host that sells VPS through a processor has therefore been verified by that processor, even when the host advertises no ID at signup. For the host side of the question, read [What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-kyc-in-vps-hosting/ "What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?") and [Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?](https://gloamport.com/vps-no-kyc/ "Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?"). ## Which processors verify merchants, and what do they ask? Four of the five processors verify merchants at onboarding; NOWPayments does so for fiat features. CoinPayments describes business verification as part of onboarding, with proof of legal existence and registration, documents on directors, control persons and beneficial owners, and KYC identity checks for the associated individuals. CoinGate asks for business details, licences where needed, ownership and control, a live website and a government-issued photo ID of a director, beneficial owner or authorised person, with a selfie taken on a device. BitPay asks for valid IDs for every owner with 25% or more of the business, an active business registration and a document proving the operating address, with higher volume tiers needing more. NOWPayments requires KYB or KYC for merchants who want fiat features. Cryptomus states in its anti-money-laundering policy that identity checks are completed before a relationship begins and that it does not onboard customers who fail them. ## Do processors ask shoppers for KYC? Sometimes, and the rules differ. NOWPayments says it asks crypto-only merchants and customers to pass KYB or KYC only in a rare case, when a transaction is marked as suspicious; the documents then listed are an ID photo, proof of the source of funds and a selfie, and it says users who do not want to reveal their identity are handled case by case. BitPay is stricter. Its compliance page describes a one-time BitPay ID check for individuals who buy over $3,000 USD, receive payouts or refunds, or use a VPN, and its merchant terms require shoppers to complete a due diligence onboarding. CoinPayments, CoinGate and Cryptomus state no shopper rule on their public pages, so the host is the one to ask before paying. What you can verify yourself is whether a host names its processor. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 14 of 42 active hosts route crypto payments through a named third-party processor, 9 run their own payment system and 19 do not say. ## What does the UK sanctions listing of Cryptomus mean? On 8 October 2026 the UK listed Xeltox Enterprises Ltd, the company behind Cryptomus and Heleket, under its Russia sanctions regime. The UK Sanctions Notice of that date gives the designation as unique ID RUS3755 and states the reason: reasonable grounds to suspect involvement in supporting the Government of Russia in the Russian financial services sector, through its ownership of Cryptomus and activities linked to Heleket. The measures imposed are an asset freeze, trust services sanctions, a director disqualification sanction, internet services sanctions and a prohibition on correspondent banking relationships and processing payments. The notice says UK credit and financial institutions may not process payments to, from or via a designated person. The survey read one active host, MonoVM, that lists Cryptomus among four processors on its Bitcoin page. Before paying through any processor, check its current status on the official UK Sanctions List. ## How does Gloamport take payments without a processor? Gloamport takes payments to its own wallets. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. Owning the wallets removes one company from the chain, not the checks. Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. For the coin choice, read [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"); for the list of hosts that take XMR, [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does a no-KYC VPS host use a payment processor? Some do and some do not. 14 surveyed hosts use a named processor, 9 run their own system and 19 do not say, so the host's payment page is the place to look. ### Can a processor ask for my ID even if the host does not? Yes. A processor sets its own rules for the payments it takes. BitPay and NOWPayments publish shopper checks under stated conditions; CoinPayments, CoinGate and Cryptomus do not state a shopper rule on the pages read. ### Is paying with Monero a way around a processor's checks? No. A host that holds its own wallets, as Gloamport does, has no processor in the chain, but it still decides what it asks of you. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. ### Is Cryptomus sanctioned? The UK Sanctions List shows Xeltox Enterprises Ltd, which owns Cryptomus, as designated on 8 October 2026 under the Russia regime. Other governments may differ, so read the official listings. ### Why does Gloamport hold its own wallets? Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. The trade-off is that Gloamport itself must check each payment, which is why it keeps the amount, coin, network, transaction ID and date. **In summary** - CoinPayments, CoinGate, BitPay and Cryptomus publish verification rules for the merchants they pay out. - Shopper checks differ: NOWPayments only for flagged transactions, BitPay above $3,000 USD and for payouts, others not stated on their public pages. - Cryptomus's owner, Xeltox Enterprises Ltd, was designated by the UK on 8 October 2026 (ID RUS3755). - 14 of 42 surveyed hosts use a named third-party processor, 9 run their own system, 19 do not say. - Gloamport uses no third-party processor and checks sending addresses against public sanctions lists. - Monero hides a payment from the public chain, not from the host's account records. ## Sources 1.

You pick one of 8 plans, pay in Monero, Bitcoin, USDT or another listed coin, and a person delivers the VPS within 1 hour of the confirmed payment. ## Account, identity and email ### Do I have to give my name? No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. ### Is an email address required? No. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. Adding one gives you a way to recover a lost account number, and nothing else. ### What if I lose my account number? Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. Store it in a password manager; the [How do I self-host Vaultwarden on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-self-host-vaultwarden/ "How do I self-host Vaultwarden on a VPS?") guide shows one way. ### Will you ask for ID if I spend more? No. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. There is no spending threshold that changes this. ### Who can use Gloamport? Adults outside the excluded countries. Accounts are for people aged 18 or over. People and companies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and from the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot use the service. ## Paying in Monero, Bitcoin or USDT ### Which coins does the checkout take? BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, with Monero first. The minimum top-up is $25. ### How long does a Monero payment take? A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Bitcoin and USDT follow their own networks' confirmation times, shown in the payment steps on the pricing page. ### Is paying in Monero private? On the blockchain, yes: Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Inside your account, no: Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. ### Do you use a payment processor? No. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. The [Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?](https://gloamport.com/do-crypto-payment-processors-require-kyc/ "Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?") page explains why that matters. ### What if I send the wrong amount or the wrong network? Send the exact amount on the exact network shown on the payment page. If something went wrong, write to support@gloamport.com with the transaction ID; A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules. ### Is a payment from a sanctioned address accepted? No. Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. ## Plans, terms and prices ### What plans are there? Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). Each plan is described with its use on the [How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?") page. ### How do the rental terms work? Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard. ### How are the prices set? Against a named plan from a dated survey. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median monthly price of a 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 80 GB VPS among 29 no-KYC crypto hosts was $31.29; Gloam costs $8.25 a month on 12 months. ### Is there a free trial? No free trial: the smallest plan, Ember, is sold for 3 months at least, $22.44, or $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. ### Are there refunds? If a VPS cannot be built, or goes down and support cannot restore it, each day it was out of service goes back to your balance. The balance never expires. Top-ups are not paid back out unless a law requires it, except the part paid only to reach the minimum top-up, which is returned on request in USDT or USDC within 30 days of payment if it is still unspent. ## The server itself ### Where are the servers? Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price. ### Which systems can I install? Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows: Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10. ### How do I log in? Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. ### Are backups included? No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. A simple way to keep encrypted copies off the VPS is to send them to another machine you control. ### Can I send email from the VPS? Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. ### Can I run a VPN, a Tor relay or an onion site? Yes. The guides cover [How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ "How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?") and [How do I host an onion site on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-host-an-onion-site/ "How do I host an onion site on a VPS?"); the Tor rules are on the How it works page. **Found your answer?** Pick a plan and pay in the coin you prefer.

Dusk, 2 GB RAM, costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-connect-your-home-network-to-a-vps-with-wireguard/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Your home router has no public address. The VPS has one, so it becomes the meeting point that both sides dial out to. **Quick answer — How do I connect my home network to a VPS with WireGuard (behind CGNAT)?** To connect your home network to a VPS with WireGuard behind CGNAT, run WireGuard on the VPS as a hub and let the home machine dial out to it with PersistentKeepalive = 25. A Gloamport Dusk plan, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, hosts the hub for $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## Which address does each side use in this setup? | Machine | Role | Tunnel address | Dials out to | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | VPS (Dusk) | Hub with a public IPv4 address | 10.8.0.1/24 | Nobody; it listens on UDP 51820 | | Home machine | Peer behind CGNAT, with LAN 192.168.1.0/24 | 10.8.0.3/24 | The VPS, every 25 seconds | | Laptop | Roaming peer | 10.8.0.2/24 | The VPS | Addresses are examples from private ranges. Prices: Dusk is $5.25 a month on 12 months and $10.50 on 1 month. ## Why does CGNAT block a normal WireGuard setup? Behind CGNAT your router shares one public IPv4 address with other customers, so nothing outside can open a connection to your home. WireGuard needs one side to be reachable by address, and the VPS is that side: it has One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. The home machine opens the tunnel outward. The WireGuard quickstart describes `PersistentKeepalive` for exactly this case: set it on a peer behind a firewall or NAT, and 25 seconds is "a sensible interval that works with a wide variety of firewalls". The NAT mapping then stays open and the VPS can send packets back through it. ## Which Gloamport plan suits the hub? Dusk suits a hub that carries traffic between a few machines. Gloamport lists it for "A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site", with 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 2 TB of monthly traffic. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median price of a 1 vCPU, 2 GB VPS across 32 hosts was $18.91 a month. If you only need a tunnel for one small service, Ember is enough; the base setup is in [How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ "How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?"). ## How do I connect my home network to a VPS with WireGuard, step by step? Six steps. Do the VPS first, then the home machine. 1. **Set up the hub** — Install WireGuard on the VPS and generate its key pair, as in the base guide. Open UDP 51820 in the firewall you run there. 2. **Enable forwarding on the VPS** — Packets from the laptop to the home machine cross the VPS, so IPv4 forwarding must be on. net.ipv4.ip_forward defaults to 0. 3. **Declare both peers on the VPS** — Add one [Peer] for the home machine and one for the laptop. The home peer can also carry the home LAN in AllowedIPs. 4. **Configure the home machine** — Install WireGuard at home, set Endpoint to the VPS address and add PersistentKeepalive = 25. No port forwarding is needed on the home router. 5. **Configure the laptop** — Give it AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 so tunnel and home traffic both go through the VPS. 6. **Test from the laptop** — Run wg show on the VPS, then ping 10.8.0.3 from the laptop. A recent handshake for each peer means both dialled in. ## How do I write the hub configuration? The hub file lists each peer with its public key and the addresses the VPS may send to it. Declaring the home LAN on the home peer lets the VPS route 192.168.1.0/24 into the tunnel. */etc/wireguard/wg0.conf on the VPS* ```ini [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.1/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = PostUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [Peer] # home machine PublicKey = AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.3/32, 192.168.1.0/24 [Peer] # laptop PublicKey = AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.2/32 ``` ## How do I configure the home machine and the laptop? The home machine needs `PersistentKeepalive` and a route to the tunnel subnet; the laptop needs routes to both subnets. Bring each up with `wg-quick up wg0`. If you want the laptop to reach other devices on the home LAN, and not only the home machine, the home machine must itself forward packets: set `net.ipv4.ip_forward` to 1 there too, for instance with a `PostUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1` line. */etc/wireguard/wg0.conf on the home machine* ```ini [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.3/24 PrivateKey = PostUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [Peer] PublicKey = Endpoint = :51820 AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.0/24 PersistentKeepalive = 25 ``` */etc/wireguard/wg0.conf on the laptop* ```ini [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.2/24 PrivateKey = [Peer] PublicKey = Endpoint = :51820 AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 PersistentKeepalive = 25 ``` *Bring it up and test* ```bash wg-quick up wg0 systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0 wg show ping -c 3 10.8.0.3 ``` > **The tunnel only reaches what you route** Cryptokey routing sends a packet to the peer whose AllowedIPs contains its destination. If a LAN address does not answer, check that the subnet appears in the AllowedIPs of the right peer, on the VPS and on the laptop. ## What can I do with the tunnel once it is up? You can reach a home NAS, camera or self-hosted service from anywhere without opening a port at home. The laptop talks to 10.8.0.3 as if it were next door, and nothing is exposed on your home router. Keep the VPS reachable and tidy: [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?") covers the login side, and [Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?](https://gloamport.com/self-hosted-vpn-vs-vpn-service/ "Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?") weighs the whole approach. For the hub, Dusk on a 12-month term is $5.25 a month; the plans are listed on [the pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). **In summary** - CGNAT blocks inbound connections, so the home machine dials out to the VPS. - The VPS runs the hub with a public IPv4 address and UDP 51820 open. - `PersistentKeepalive = 25` keeps the NAT mapping open at home. - IPv4 forwarding (`net.ipv4.ip_forward=1`) is needed on the VPS, and at home to reach the LAN. - Each peer's `AllowedIPs` decides which subnets it can reach. - Dusk (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic) costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## Home network to VPS with WireGuard: common questions ### Do I need port forwarding on my home router? No. The home machine opens the connection outward to the VPS, so the router only needs to allow outgoing UDP. The keepalive keeps the return path open. ### What is CGNAT? Carrier-grade NAT is a setup where your internet provider shares one public IPv4 address between many customers. You cannot receive unsolicited inbound connections, which is why the VPS acts as the meeting point. ### Can the VPS reach my whole home LAN? Yes, if the home peer lists the LAN, such as 192.168.1.0/24, in its `AllowedIPs` on the VPS and the home machine forwards packets with `net.ipv4.ip_forward` set to 1. ### Which Gloamport plan should I pick for the hub? Dusk, at $5.25 a month on 12 months, fits a hub for a few machines. Ember is enough if only one device connects. ### Does the tunnel carry IPv6? It can. Add an IPv6 address to `Address` and an IPv6 prefix to `AllowedIPs`; wg-quick accepts both families, and the kernel has a separate IPv6 forwarding setting. ## Sources 1.

Gloam, 2 vCPU and 4 GB, costs $8.25 a month on 12 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-encrypt-a-vps-disk-with-luks/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) LUKS protects data at rest. It does not hide a running VPS from the machine it runs on, and this page says where the line is. **Quick answer — Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?** Yes, you can encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS, because Gloamport gives you full KVM virtualization with your own kernel. Create a volume with cryptsetup luksFormat, open it, format and mount it. A Gloam plan, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic, costs $8.25 a month on 12 months. ## What does LUKS protect on a VPS, and what does it not? | Situation | Protected by LUKS? | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | A copy of the disk image or a snapshot | Yes | The data on disk is ciphertext without the passphrase | | A VPS that is powered off | Yes | The key is not in memory | | A VPS running with the volume open | No | The key and the plaintext sit in RAM, which the host machine can read | | Someone with root inside your VPS | No | They see the mounted volume | | A lost passphrase or a damaged header | No | Data is lost unless you made a header backup | The RAM limit is a property of virtualization, not of Gloamport: any host can read the memory of the guests it runs. ## What does encrypting a VPS disk with LUKS really give you? LUKS gives you encryption at rest: anyone who copies the disk without the passphrase gets noise. It does not give you protection from the host while the VPS runs, because the unlocked key lives in memory that the hypervisor can read. This is why the honest framing matters. Gloamport states that Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up, which makes LUKS possible, and that No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. Pair encryption with your own backups. For the wider question of what a private VPS is and is not, see [What makes a VPS privacy-focused?](https://gloamport.com/privacy-focused-vps/ "What makes a VPS privacy-focused?"). ## Which Gloamport plan suits an encrypted volume? Gloam is a comfortable size: it has 2 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM and 80 GB NVMe of storage, and Gloamport lists it for "A Matrix server, Vaultwarden and SearXNG together". Encryption costs some CPU, so a second core helps. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median price of a comparable 2 vCPU, 4 GB VPS across 29 hosts was $31.29 a month. Gloam is $8.25 a month on 12 months and $16.50 on 1 month. ## How do I encrypt a volume on a VPS with LUKS, step by step? Seven steps for a data volume held in a file. The same commands work on a block device. 1. **Install cryptsetup** — Run apt install cryptsetup as root. 2. **Create the container file** — Allocate a file of the size you need. cryptsetup maps a regular file to a loop device by itself. 3. **Format it as LUKS2** — Run cryptsetup --type luks2 luksFormat on the file and choose a long passphrase. This wipes anything in the file. 4. **Back up the header** — Run luksHeaderBackup and store the file away from the VPS. A damaged header loses everything otherwise. 5. **Open the volume** — Run cryptsetup open with a mapping name. A device appears under /dev/mapper/. 6. **Make a filesystem and mount it** — Run mkfs.ext4 on the mapped device, create a folder and mount it. 7. **Close it when you are done** — Unmount, then cryptsetup close, which removes the mapping and wipes the key from kernel memory. ## What are the exact LUKS commands? The commands below follow the cryptsetup manual. `luksFormat` initialises the volume and sets the first passphrase, `open` creates the mapping, `luksDump` prints the header, and `luksHeaderBackup` stores a binary backup of the header and key slot area. The manual says that if the header of a LUKS volume is damaged, all data is permanently lost unless you have a header backup. *Create and format the container* ```bash apt install cryptsetup fallocate -l 10G /root/vault.img cryptsetup --type luks2 luksFormat /root/vault.img cryptsetup luksHeaderBackup /root/vault.img --header-backup-file /root/vault.header ``` *Open, format and mount* ```bash cryptsetup open /root/vault.img vault mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vault mkdir -p /mnt/vault mount /dev/mapper/vault /mnt/vault ``` *Close it* ```bash umount /mnt/vault cryptsetup close vault ``` ## Can I unlock an encrypted root disk remotely with dropbear-initramfs? Yes, if the system boots from an encrypted root, a small SSH server in the initramfs can take the passphrase before the root filesystem is mounted. This needs an install you set up with an encrypted root, which is a bigger job than the data volume above, so treat it as an advanced step and check that your image and boot process allow it. The Debian package `dropbear-initramfs` provides SSH access inside the initial RAM filesystem, for instance to unlock encrypted disks. Its documentation places your public keys in `/etc/dropbear/initramfs/authorized_keys` and options in `/etc/dropbear/initramfs/dropbear.conf`, and says to run `update-initramfs -u -k all` after changing them. It also advises not to reuse the main SSH host keys, because `/boot` is usually unencrypted. *Install and apply the initramfs SSH server* ```bash apt install dropbear-initramfs nano /etc/dropbear/initramfs/authorized_keys update-initramfs -u -k all ``` *Optional: listen on another port (dropbear.conf)* ```text DROPBEAR_OPTIONS="-p 2222" ``` > **Test before you rely on it** Keep a second way in and test the unlock on a spare VPS first. A wrong initramfs or a lost passphrase can leave the machine waiting at boot. Use a different SSH port or known-hosts file for the unlock step, since its host keys differ from the main server's. ## How do I keep an encrypted VPS usable over time? Back up the header, write the passphrase down offline, and keep your own copy of the data, since the plan has no backups. The cryptsetup manual says that backup is mandatory for encrypted data as well, if the data has any worth. Lock the front door too. [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?") covers it, and [How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ "How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?") covers the key. Plans and terms are on [the pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). **In summary** - LUKS2 encrypts data at rest on a VPS with full KVM virtualization. - It does not hide a running VPS from the host, which can read RAM. - `cryptsetup --type luks2 luksFormat` creates the volume; `open` and `close` manage it. - Back up the header with `luksHeaderBackup`: a damaged header loses all data. - `dropbear-initramfs` allows remote unlocking of an encrypted root. - Gloam (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic) costs $8.25 a month on 12 months. ## LUKS on a VPS: common questions ### Can the VPS host read my LUKS-encrypted data? Not from the disk, but yes while the volume is open, because the key and the data sit in memory the host can read. LUKS protects data at rest. ### Can I use a file instead of a partition? Yes. The cryptsetup manual says that if the device argument is a file, cryptsetup tries to allocate a loopback device and map it to that file. ### What happens if I forget the passphrase? The data cannot be read. Keep the passphrase safe and make a header backup, because a damaged header also loses everything. ### What does dropbear-initramfs do? It starts a small SSH server inside the initial RAM filesystem so you can unlock an encrypted root disk at boot from another machine. ### Does Gloamport include backups? No plan includes backups, so keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. ## Sources 1.

A Gloamport Ember VPS costs $3.74 a month on 12 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) One command makes the key pair. The public half goes to the server, the private half never leaves your machine. **Quick answer — How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?** To generate an SSH key for your VPS, run ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "label" -f ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519, set a passphrase, then paste the .pub file at checkout. On Gloamport the key is optional, and an Ember plan costs $3.74 a month on 12 months. ## Which files does ssh-keygen create? | File | What it is | Who may see it | | --- | --- | --- | | `~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519` | Private key (the name you pass with `-f`) | Only you. Never paste it anywhere | | `~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519.pub` | Public key, the same name with `.pub` added | Anyone; this is what you give the VPS | | `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the VPS | List of public keys allowed to log in | Root on the VPS | File naming follows the ssh-keygen(1) manual: the public key has `.pub` appended to the private key name. ## Why use an SSH key instead of a password? An SSH key beats a password because it cannot be guessed over the network and is never sent to the server. The server holds only the public half, and login proves you own the private half. On Gloamport, Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of 49 entries state that no identity document is asked at sign-up, so for many servers the SSH key is the only credential tied to the machine. Treat it that way. ## How do I generate an SSH key, step by step? Four steps on your own computer, then one at checkout. 1. **Run ssh-keygen** — Use -t ed25519, which is the default type, with -C for a label and -f for the file name. 2. **Choose a passphrase** — Enter a passphrase when asked. It encrypts the private key on your disk, so a stolen file is not enough. 3. **Print the public key** — Display the .pub file with cat and copy the single line. 4. **Paste it at checkout** — Paste the line into the SSH key field when you order. The key is optional: leave it empty and you get a temporary root password to change at first login. 5. **Log in** — Connect with ssh -i and the private key path once the dashboard shows the IP address. ## What is the exact ssh-keygen command? The command is `ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "label" -f ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519`. The manual states that ed25519 is the default type, that `-C` sets the comment (initialised to user@host), that `-f` names the key file, and that the key derivation function uses 16 rounds by default (`-a`). *Generate the key pair* ```bash ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "gloamport-vps" -f ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519 ``` *Show the public key and its fingerprint* ```bash cat ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519.pub ssh-keygen -l -f ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519.pub ``` ## How do I put the key on a VPS I already have? If the VPS already exists and you can log in with a password, use `ssh-copy-id`. The manual says it appends your public key to the remote user's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` and creates the file and directory if they are missing. Use `-i` to name the key. *Copy the key and log in* ```bash ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519.pub root@YOUR_VPS_IP ssh -i ~/.ssh/gloamport_ed25519 root@YOUR_VPS_IP ``` > **Keep a copy of the key** Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. The same logic applies to the SSH key: keep an encrypted backup of the private key, because a lost private key cannot be rebuilt from the public one. ## What do I do after the first login? Close the doors you do not need. Your first job on the new server is to stop password logins and restrict who can log in, which is covered in [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). If you have not ordered yet, [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?") walks through the payment, and [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?") explains the account number. Ember starts at $7.48 a month, or $3.74 a month on 12 months; see [the pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). **In summary** - Use `ssh-keygen -t ed25519`; ed25519 is the default key type. - Name the file with `-f` and add a label with `-C`. - Set a passphrase so the private key is encrypted on disk. - Give the VPS only the `.pub` file. - At Gloamport the SSH key is optional at checkout. - `ssh-copy-id -i` adds a key to an existing server. - Ember costs $3.74 a month on 12 months. ## SSH keys for a VPS: common questions ### Which key type should I choose? Ed25519. The ssh-keygen manual lists it as the default type, and it gives short keys that are easy to paste at checkout. ### Do I have to set a passphrase? It is optional, but recommended. The passphrase encrypts the private key file, so a copied file cannot be used without it. ### What if I leave the SSH key field empty at Gloamport? The team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard. You change it at first login, and a key can be added later. ### How do I see a key fingerprint? Run `ssh-keygen -l -f` with the path of the public key. The `-l` option shows the fingerprint of the key file. ### Can I use the same key for several servers? Technically yes, but one key per purpose limits the damage if it leaks. Generate a new file name with `-f` for each group of servers. ## Sources 1.

Dusk, 2 GB RAM, is $5.25 a month. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Six changes to sshd_config take about ten minutes. Keep your first session open until the last one is tested. **Quick answer — How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?** To harden SSH on a new VPS, create a sudo user, install your public key, then set PasswordAuthentication no, PermitRootLogin no and AllowUsers in a drop-in file under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/, check it with sshd -t and reload. Gloamport Dusk, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## Which sshd_config options matter most on a new VPS? | Option | Value | Default in the sshd_config manual | | --- | --- | --- | | `PasswordAuthentication` | `no` | `yes` | | `KbdInteractiveAuthentication` | `no` | `yes` (Debian's file sets `no`) | | `PermitRootLogin` | `no` | `prohibit-password` | | `PubkeyAuthentication` | `yes` | `yes` | | `AllowUsers` | your sudo user | all users | | `MaxAuthTries` | `3` | 6 | | `LoginGraceTime` | `30` | 120 seconds | Defaults as stated in sshd_config(5), checked 2026-11-10. The values in the middle column are this guide's choices. ## Why harden SSH before anything else? SSH is the one service every VPS exposes from the first minute, so it is the first door to lock. Password guessing against port 22 starts as soon as an address is live, and a key-only login removes that whole class of attack. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. If you pasted a key at checkout, password login is already off, and this guide adds the remaining limits. If you got a temporary root password, change it at first login with `passwd` before you do anything else. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 6 hosts take Monero and ask for no email at sign-up, so on those servers the SSH key and the account number are the only secrets that protect the machine. ## How do I harden SSH on a new VPS, step by step? Do them in this order, and keep the first session open until the end. 1. **Create a regular user** — Run adduser and add the user to the sudo group, so you stop working as root. 2. **Install your public key for that user** — Copy your authorized key to the new user, or run ssh-copy-id -i from your own computer. Test the login in a second terminal. 3. **Write a drop-in file** — Create /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-hardening.conf with the options from the table. Debian includes that folder at the start of sshd_config, and the first value for an option wins, so the name must sort early. 4. **Test the configuration** — Run sshd -t. It checks the configuration file and the keys without restarting anything. Run sshd -T to print the effective values. 5. **Reload the service** — Restart ssh and open a new session as the new user before closing the old one. 6. **Confirm root and passwords are refused** — Try to log in as root and with a password from another terminal. Both must fail. ## How do I create a sudo user and give it my key? Create the user, add it to `sudo`, and copy the root account's authorized key to it. Use your key from [How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ "How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?") if you have not made one yet. Replace `admin` with the user name you want. *Create the user and copy the key (as root)* ```bash adduser admin usermod -aG sudo admin mkdir -p /home/admin/.ssh cp /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keys chown -R admin:admin /home/admin/.ssh chmod 700 /home/admin/.ssh chmod 600 /home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keys ``` ## What goes in the sshd_config drop-in file? Put the options in one drop-in so a package upgrade never overwrites them. The sshd_config manual says that for most keywords the first value obtained is used, and that Debian's file includes `/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf` at the start, so the prefix `00-` makes yours win over files such as a cloud image's own drop-in. */etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-hardening.conf* ```text PasswordAuthentication no KbdInteractiveAuthentication no PubkeyAuthentication yes PermitRootLogin no AllowUsers admin MaxAuthTries 3 LoginGraceTime 30 ``` *Test, then apply* ```bash sshd -t sshd -T | grep -E "passwordauthentication|permitrootlogin|allowusers" systemctl restart ssh ``` > **Never close your only session** If AllowUsers names a user without your key, you lock yourself out. Keep the first session open, test a second login as the new user, and only then close the first one. sshd -t checks syntax, not whether your key is installed. ## Should I change the SSH port or add a firewall? A different port cuts log noise but adds no real security, so treat it as optional. The manual lets you set it with `Port`, and multiple `Port` lines are allowed. If you change it, open the new port in your firewall before you restart `ssh`. Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up, so you run the firewall that suits you. Once SSH is tight, the next layers are a private tunnel ([How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ "How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?")) and an encrypted data volume ([Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-encrypt-a-vps-disk-with-luks/ "Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?")). Dusk, with 2 GB of RAM, is $5.25 a month on 12 months; see [the pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). **In summary** - Work as a sudo user, not as root. - Set `PasswordAuthentication no` and `KbdInteractiveAuthentication no`. - Set `PermitRootLogin no` once the sudo user works. - Use `AllowUsers` to name who may log in. - Put the options in a drop-in whose name sorts first, such as `00-hardening.conf`. - Run `sshd -t` before every restart and keep a second session open. - Dusk costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## Hardening SSH on a VPS: common questions ### What does PermitRootLogin prohibit-password mean? It allows root to log in with a key but not with a password. The manual lists it as the default, and `no` goes one step further. ### Why does my change in sshd_config have no effect? The first value for an option wins, and Debian includes the sshd_config.d folder first. An earlier drop-in may set the option, so name yours `00-hardening.conf` and check with `sshd -T`. ### How can I test the config without breaking SSH? Run `sshd -t`, which only checks the configuration file and the keys. Keep a second session open when you restart. ### Do I need to disable password login if I pasted a key at checkout? At Gloamport a pasted key leaves password login off already. Setting the options in a drop-in keeps it that way after upgrades. ### What does MaxAuthTries do? It limits authentication attempts per connection. The manual gives a default of 6, and this guide sets 3. ## Sources 1.

This guide installs Synapse from the project’s Debian packages and puts a reverse proxy in front of it. **Quick answer — How do I host a Matrix server on a VPS?** To host a Matrix server on a VPS, install Synapse from the Matrix.org apt repository, give it a PostgreSQL database, and put an HTTPS reverse proxy on port 443 in front of its port 8008. Gloamport’s Gloam plan, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic at $8.25 a month on 12 months, is sized for it. ## What does a Synapse install involve? | Part | Setting | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Server name | The domain in user IDs, for example example.com; cannot be changed later | Federation identity | | Package | matrix-synapse-py3 from packages.matrix.org | Debian’s own package is not available for Debian 13 and older | | Config overrides | /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/ | Package upgrades do not ask to replace your config | | Client and federation listener | HTTP on localhost:8008 behind a proxy | The proxy terminates HTTPS | | Database | PostgreSQL (psycopg2) | The docs call SQLite acceptable for testing only | | Ports | 443 for clients; 8448 for federation unless delegated to 443 | Both must be reachable from the internet | | Plan | Gloam: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic | Gloamport plan list | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* ## What do you need before installing a Matrix server? You need a domain name you control and a VPS with a public IPv4 address. The domain matters more than the server: the Synapse documentation says the server name is the domain part of every user ID, and that it cannot be changed later. Pick it before you install. A Gloamport VPS comes with one IPv4 and an IPv6 /64 on every plan, so DNS records can point at it directly. A domain is not sold here; buy it where you prefer and create an A record for the host name you will use. Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows. Reserve about an hour for DNS and the certificate, besides the install itself. ## How to install Synapse on Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 The commands follow the official Synapse documentation. Run them as root or with sudo. 1. **Point DNS at the VPS** — Create an A record for matrix.example.com with the VPS address (and an AAAA record if you use IPv6). Wait until it resolves before asking for a certificate. 2. **Add the Matrix.org apt repository** — Download the signing key, add the repository line, and run apt update, as in the first code block. The documentation gives the key fingerprint AAF9AE843A7584B5A3E4CD2BCF45A512DE2DA058; compare it with gpg before you trust the key. 3. **Install matrix-synapse-py3** — Run apt install matrix-synapse-py3 and set the server name when asked. Change settings only through files in /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/. 4. **Create the PostgreSQL database** — Install PostgreSQL and the libpq5 library, then create the user and database with the commands in the second code block and point Synapse at it with the database block shown there. 5. **Put a reverse proxy in front** — Install a web server, get a certificate for the host name, and forward /_matrix and /_synapse/client to localhost:8008 as in the third code block. Set x_forwarded: true on the 8008 listener. 6. **Create your user and test** — Set a registration_shared_secret, restart Synapse, run register_new_matrix_user, then sign in from a Matrix client with your homeserver address. *1. Matrix.org repository and package* ```bash sudo apt install -y lsb-release wget apt-transport-https sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.matrix.org/debian/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.matrix.org/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list sudo apt update sudo apt install matrix-synapse-py3 ``` *2.

The Debian package maintained by Debian itself is not available for Debian 13. ## How much server does a Matrix homeserver need? A private homeserver for a few people fits a mid-size plan, and federation to large public rooms is what grows the load. We have not benchmarked Synapse and give no user counts. Gloamport lists Gloam as the plan for A Matrix server, Vaultwarden and SearXNG together: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic, $8.25 a month on the 12-month term and $16.50 on a single month. For a team chat with many rooms, Night (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB NVMe, 8 TB traffic, $13.50 a month on the 12-month term) is listed for A busy relay, a team chat server or several services. ## Does federation need port 8448? No, federation can run over port 443 if you delegate it. The Synapse reverse-proxy page states that with delegation through the .well-known/matrix/server response, port 8448 does not have to be opened and federation uses 443. Without delegation the default federation port is 8448, so open it in the firewall and add a second server block that listens there. Clients can find your server through a /.well-known/matrix/client file served at https://your-server-name/.well-known/matrix/client, which names the homeserver in m.homeserver with its base_url. Browser clients also need a CORS header, and Synapse’s public_baseurl should carry the same URL. Run the server name on the bare domain only if you can serve that file there. ## How do you keep a self-hosted Matrix server safe? Back up the signing key, the database and the media store, and keep the host patched. The docs warn that the signing keys must be saved because other servers rely on them. Messages in rooms without end-to-end encryption sit readable in the database on your VPS, so disk encryption is worth considering; [Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-encrypt-a-vps-disk-with-luks/ "Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?") covers what disk encryption does and does not protect. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of the 49 providers ask for no ID document at sign-up, so the VPS can be bought without handing documents over, but the server security is still yours: key-only SSH, as in [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). **In summary** - Synapse installs from packages.matrix.org as matrix-synapse-py3. - The server name is permanent; choose the domain first. - Use PostgreSQL; the docs call SQLite acceptable for testing only. - Proxy /_matrix and /_synapse/client to localhost:8008 behind HTTPS. - Delegation lets federation use port 443 instead of 8448. - Gloam, $8.25 a month on 12 months, is the matching plan. - Back up the signing keys, the database and the media; no plan includes backups. ## Hosting a Matrix server: common questions ### Do I need a domain name for Matrix? Yes. The server name is part of every user ID and is set at install. It cannot be changed afterwards, so register or choose the domain before you install. ### Why not use SQLite? The Synapse documentation says SQLite is acceptable for testing only and should not be used in production. Almost all installations should use PostgreSQL. ### Where do I put my own settings? In files under /etc/matrix-synapse/conf.d/. The docs recommend this so a package upgrade does not ask whether to replace your configuration file. ### How do I create the first account? Run register_new_matrix_user -c on the homeserver configuration after Synapse is running. It uses the registration_shared_secret, which anyone who knows can use to create accounts, admins included. ### Can I run Matrix beside other services? Yes on a Gloam or larger plan. Vaultwarden and SearXNG are small next to it; see the guide on [self-hosting Vaultwarden](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-self-host-vaultwarden/ "How do I self-host Vaultwarden on a VPS?"). ## Sources 1.

Dusk, 2 GB RAM, costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-host-an-onion-site/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) An onion service needs no open web port and no domain name. Tor creates the address from a key stored on your VPS. **Quick answer — How do I host an onion site on a VPS?** To host an onion site on a VPS, install tor and a web server, add HiddenServiceDir and HiddenServicePort lines to /etc/tor/torrc, restart tor, and read your address in the hostname file. A Gloamport Dusk plan, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, runs it for $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## What are the parts of an onion site on a VPS? | Part | Value in this guide | | --- | --- | | Plan | Dusk: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic | | Price | $5.25 a month on 12 months, $10.50 on 1 month | | Packages | `tor` and `nginx` (Apache works the same way) | | Key directory | `/var/lib/tor/my-website/` | | Torrc keys | `HiddenServiceDir`, `HiddenServicePort` | | Address file | `/var/lib/tor/my-website/hostname` | | Backend | nginx on 127.0.0.1, port 80 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Config keys from the Tor Project onion service setup guide and the Tor manual. ## What is an onion service, and why host one? An onion service is a website that is reachable only through Tor and whose address is derived from its own key. Visitors reach it without a domain registrar or a public IP, and the traffic is encrypted end to end. For the full definition see [What is an onion service, and how does it work?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-an-onion-service/ "What is an onion service, and how does it work?"). According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 10 of the 49 hosting entries we read offer an onion address of their own. A VPS lets you run one for your own project instead. ## Which Gloamport plan hosts an onion site? Dusk is a fit: Gloamport lists it for "A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site". A small static site or a light app runs well on 1 vCPU and 2 GB of RAM, with 40 GB NVMe of storage. Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows. The order takes a plan, a coin and an optional email: An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. The wider case for hosting without handing over identity documents is in [Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?](https://gloamport.com/vps-no-kyc/ "Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?"). ## How do I host an onion site on a VPS, step by step? Six steps from a blank server to an address you can open in Tor Browser. 1. **Install tor and a web server** — Run apt update, then apt install tor nginx. Confirm that http://localhost/ serves a page from the VPS. 2. **Bind the web server to localhost** — Make nginx listen on 127.0.0.1 only, so the site is reached through Tor and not through the public IP. 3. **Add the onion service to the torrc** — Add a HiddenServiceDir and a HiddenServicePort line to /etc/tor/torrc. 4. **Restart tor** — Run systemctl restart tor. Tor creates the directory on startup if it does not exist. 5. **Read your address** — Print the hostname file in the HiddenServiceDir. Add http:// in front and open it in Tor Browser. 6. **Back up the key** — The other files in that directory are your keys. Keep them private, and copy the private key somewhere safe if the address matters. ## How do I configure tor to publish the site? Two torrc lines publish the site. `HiddenServiceDir` names the directory where Tor stores the keys and the `hostname` file, and `HiddenServicePort` maps a virtual port to a local target. The Tor manual says each hidden service must have its own directory and that, by default, a port maps to the same port on 127.0.0.1 over TCP. *Install and check the web server* ```bash apt update apt install tor nginx curl -I http://localhost/ ``` *Lines to add to /etc/tor/torrc* ```text HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/my-website/ HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 ``` *Restart and read the address* ```bash systemctl restart tor cat /var/lib/tor/my-website/hostname ``` ## Should I use a Unix socket instead of a TCP port? A Unix socket is safer, because the backend then never listens on a network port at all. The Tor Project guide recommends it to avoid exposing the service on your local network. The manual lists `unix:` followed by a path as an accepted target. *torrc with a Unix socket target* ```text HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/my-website/ HiddenServicePort 80 unix:/var/run/tor/my-website.sock ``` > **Guard the key directory** The HiddenServiceDir must be readable and writeable by the user that runs Tor. Anyone who obtains the key files can impersonate your service, so never copy them into a public repository or a ticket. ## How do I know the onion site works? Open the address from the `hostname` file in Tor Browser. If tor fails to start, the Tor Project names typos in the torrc and wrong directory permissions as the usual causes; read the log with `journalctl -u tor`. Then secure the machine behind it.

A v3 address stays the same as long as you keep the key files, even if you reinstall the web server. **In summary** - Install `tor` and `nginx`, then confirm the local page loads. - `HiddenServiceDir` stores the keys and the `hostname` file. - `HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80` forwards onion port 80 to the local server. - A Unix socket target avoids exposing the backend on the local network. - The key files let anyone impersonate the site: keep them private and backed up. - Dusk (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic) costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## Hosting an onion site on a VPS: common questions ### Do I need a domain name for an onion site? No. The address comes from the key Tor creates in the HiddenServiceDir and is written to the hostname file. ### Which onion version does Tor use? The Tor manual says versions 2 and 3 are supported and that the default is 3. Version 3 is the one the Tor Project guide describes. ### Can I run more than one onion site? Yes. Add another HiddenServiceDir line for each new service; its HiddenServicePort lines apply to the most recent HiddenServiceDir above them. ### What if I lose the key files? The address is gone with them. The Tor Project suggests keeping a copy of the private key file in a safe place for any long-lived service. ### Is Dusk big enough? Gloamport describes Dusk as fitting "A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site". For a static site, 2 GB of RAM is ample. ## Sources 1.

Gloamport credits XMR after 10 confirmations. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-prove-a-monero-payment/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) A Monero explorer shows neither sender nor amount, so the proof comes from the sender's wallet: the TXID plus a one-time key. **Quick answer — How do I prove a Monero payment with the TXID and tx key?** To prove a Monero payment, run get_tx_key with the TXID in the sender's wallet, then give the TXID, the tx key and the recipient address to whoever checks it with check_tx_key. At Gloamport, a Monero payment is credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes, and an Ember plan costs $3.74 a month on 12 months. ## Which Monero proof do I use? | Proof | Wallet command or RPC | Inputs | What the checker learns | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Transaction key | `get_tx_key` then `check_tx_key` | TXID, tx key, recipient address | The amount sent to that address and the number of confirmations | | Transaction proof | `get_tx_proof` then `check_tx_proof` | TXID, address, optional message, signature | The same, plus a `good` flag; the message ties the proof to a purpose | | View key | Wallet settings | Primary address and view key | Every incoming payment of that wallet: far more than one payment | RPC fields from the Monero wallet RPC documentation. A matching proof shows an amount was paid to the address, not that the funds are still spendable. ## What is a TXID, and what is a tx key? A TXID is the public identifier of a transaction, and a tx key is the one-time secret the sender's wallet made for it. The explorer lists the TXID but cannot show who paid or how much; the tx key lets a checker confirm the amount sent to one address. On Gloamport, Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Still, Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. That is why a proof is a tool you hold, not a promise made for you. For the other key a wallet has, read [What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-a-monero-view-key/ "What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?"). ## When do I need to prove a Monero payment? You need a proof when a payment is sent but not matched, or when a third party asks you to show what you paid. A proof is also the clean answer to "did you really send it?" without handing over wallet access. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of the 42 active hosts (62%) accept Monero, so the habit of keeping a tx key travels well across providers. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. ## How do I prove a Monero payment, step by step? Five steps in monero-wallet-cli. Do them on the wallet that sent the payment. 1. **Make sure the wallet stores tx keys** — Run set and check store-tx-info. If it is 0, run set store-tx-info 1. 2. **Find the TXID** — Open the wallet history, or copy the TXID from the transaction details. The payment page may ask you to declare it. 3. **Get the tx key** — Run get_tx_key followed by the TXID. The wallet prints the one-time transaction key. 4. **Give the three values to the checker** — Send the TXID, the tx key and the recipient address. Never send your seed or your spend key. 5. **Check it** — The checker runs check_tx_key with the TXID, the key and the address, and reads the amount and the confirmations. ## What are the exact commands? The wallet commands are `get_tx_key TXID` for the sender and `check_tx_key TXID TXKEY ADDRESS` for the checker. The Monero guide says the check needs an up-to-date blockchain and that, if several transactions were made, each needs its own TXID and key. *In monero-wallet-cli, on the sender's wallet* ```text set set store-tx-info 1 get_tx_key ``` *In monero-wallet-cli, on the checker's wallet* ```text check_tx_key
``` ## What is the difference between check_tx_key and check_tx_proof? A tx key is a bare secret, while a tx proof is a signature that can carry a message. In the wallet RPC documentation, `get_tx_proof` takes the TXID, the address and an optional message and returns a signature; `check_tx_proof` takes the same inputs plus the signature and returns `good`, `received`, `confirmations` and `in_pool`. Use the proof when you want the message to name a purpose, such as the order it settles. The documentation adds that `check_tx_proof` does not verify payment IDs. For both, a valid result shows an amount was paid to an address; it does not show that the funds can still be spent. > **A tx key links you to one payment** Anyone with the TXID, the tx key and the address can confirm that payment and its amount. Share it only with the person who must check it, and never post it publicly. The wallet's view key reveals much more; see What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?. ## How does this fit a VPS order? Keep the TXID and the tx key of every VPS payment until the server is delivered. They are your receipt if a payment is late. The full order flow is in [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"), and the comparison with a public ledger is in [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"). For reference, Ember is $7.48 a month and $3.74 a month on 12 months; see [the pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). **In summary** - A TXID is public; the tx key is a one-time secret for that payment. - `get_tx_key TXID` prints the key, if `store-tx-info` was on when you sent. - `check_tx_key TXID TXKEY ADDRESS` shows the amount to that address and the confirmations. - `get_tx_proof` and `check_tx_proof` add a signature and an optional message. - A valid proof does not show the funds are still spendable. - Gloamport credits Monero after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. - Ember costs $3.74 a month on 12 months. ## Proving a Monero payment: common questions ### Does a block explorer prove a Monero payment? It shows that a transaction exists, but not the sender or the amount. A tx key or a tx proof is what ties an amount to an address. ### What if store-tx-info was off when I paid? The Monero guide says get_tx_key works only if the wallet saves transaction keys, and that you enable it with `set store-tx-info 1`. Check whether your wallet can still return the key for that payment. ### Is it safe to share a tx key? It reveals only that one payment to its checker, which is much narrower than a view key. Still share it only with the person who has to verify it. ### What does in_pool mean in a check result? The wallet RPC documentation says in_pool tells whether the transaction is still in the pool or has been added to a block. ### How long until Gloamport credits a Monero payment? A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. ## Sources 1.

On a small VPS it answers for your own devices and for nobody else. **Quick answer — How do I run a private DNS resolver with Unbound on a VPS?** To run a private DNS resolver with Unbound, install the unbound package, list the addresses it may listen on, allow only your own network with access-control, and test with dig. Gloamport’s Ember plan, 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic at $3.74 a month on 12 months, is enough for one person’s queries. ## Which Unbound settings make a resolver private? | Setting | Value in this guide | What the Unbound manual says | | --- | --- | --- | | interface | 127.0.0.1 and your tunnel address | The addresses clients can query; with none given, Unbound listens on localhost | | access-control | Your tunnel network allow | Most specific netblock wins; a client matching nothing is refused | | hide-identity | yes | id.server and hostname.bind queries get REFUSED | | hide-version | yes | version.server and version.bind queries get REFUSED | | qname-minimisation | yes | Sends the minimum amount of information to upstream servers | | `harden-dnssec-stripped` | yes | A zone with a trust anchor but no DNSSEC data becomes bogus | | prefetch | yes | Refreshes entries hit in the last 10% of their TTL, at about 10% more traffic | | private-address | Your private ranges | Such answers are removed for public names, which guards against DNS rebinding | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* ## What does a private resolver change, and what does it not? A private resolver changes who answers your DNS queries and who can see them from the network. Unbound resolves names itself, asking the root servers and then each zone’s servers, instead of forwarding to a public DNS provider. Your devices send queries only to your VPS, and the zones’ servers see the VPS address, not your own. It does not hide your browsing. The sites you visit are still reached by their addresses, and the VPS provider carries your queries to the VPS. Plain DNS between your device and the VPS is not encrypted, which is why the safest place to listen is inside a tunnel such as [WireGuard on the same VPS](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ "How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?"). Never leave port 53 open to the whole internet: an open resolver is something others will use, and the access-control lines below refuse them. ## How to run Unbound as a private resolver The commands are for Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04. The examples assume a WireGuard tunnel with the VPS at 10.8.0.1. 1. **Install Unbound and a DNS test tool** — Run apt install unbound bind9-dnsutils. The second package provides dig for testing. Both Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04 carry them. 2. **Write the configuration** — Create a file in /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/ with the server section from the first code block. Replace 10.8.0.1 and 10.8.0.0/24 with your tunnel address and network, or use only 127.0.0.1 if you query from the VPS itself. 3. **Check the file** — Run unbound-checkconf. The manual says it checks unbound.conf before use; it reports the file and line of any error. 4. **Restart and look at the listeners** — Restart the service, then run ss with -lunt and grep for :53. You should see only the addresses you listed, not 0.0.0.0. 5. **Query it** — From the VPS, run dig @127.0.0.1 example.org. From a device inside the tunnel, run dig @10.8.0.1 example.org. A refused answer from outside the allowed network is the correct result. 6. **Point your devices at it** — Set the DNS server of the tunnel configuration on your devices to the VPS tunnel address. Keep the firewall closed on port 53 to the public interface. */etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/private.conf* ```text server: interface: 127.0.0.1 interface: 10.8.0.1 access-control: 127.0.0.0/8 allow access-control: 10.8.0.0/24 allow hide-identity: yes hide-version: yes qname-minimisation: yes harden-glue: yes harden-dnssec-stripped: yes prefetch: yes private-address: 10.0.0.0/8 private-address: 172.16.0.0/12 private-address: 192.168.0.0/16 ``` *Install, check, restart, test* ```bash sudo apt install unbound bind9-dnsutils sudo unbound-checkconf sudo systemctl restart unbound sudo ss -lunt | grep :53 dig @127.0.0.1 example.org dig @10.8.0.1 example.org ``` ## Why must Unbound be restricted with access-control? Because a resolver that answers anyone will be found and used by strangers. The Unbound manual says that with access-control the most specific netblock match is used, and a client that matches none is refused. List only the networks you own and everything else is refused by default. Two defaults help. If no interface line is given, Unbound listens on localhost only, and do-not-query-localhost defaults to yes, so it will not send its own upstream queries to localhost addresses. Add private-address lines for your internal ranges so that a public name cannot point your devices at your own network. ## Which Gloamport plan is enough for a DNS resolver? The smallest plan carries a personal resolver, and sharing it with a VPN on the same server is the usual setup. Ember, 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic, is $3.74 a month on the 12-month term and $7.48 on a single month, and Gloamport lists it for A WireGuard VPN for a few devices. A resolver and WireGuard fit on it together. We have not benchmarked Unbound; if you serve many devices, Dusk at $5.25 a month on the 12-month term adds a second GB of memory (2 GB). The cache is what you tune. The manual notes that cache-min-ttl, off by default, can cause trouble when set above about an hour, so leave it alone unless you know why you need it. ## Is a self-run resolver better than a public DNS provider? It depends on whom you prefer to trust with your query log, and a self-run resolver removes one party. A public DNS provider sees every name your devices look up; with Unbound on your own VPS, the only place those queries are collected is a server you control. The authoritative servers of the zones you ask about still see queries from the VPS address. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of the 49 providers listed ask for no ID document at sign-up, so the VPS that runs it is available without handing documents over. For a view of the whole tunnel option, read [Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?](https://gloamport.com/self-hosted-vpn-vs-vpn-service/ "Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?") and secure the host with [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). **In summary** - Install unbound and bind9-dnsutils; configure in /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/. - Use interface and access-control so only your own network can query it. - A client that matches no access-control netblock is refused. - hide-identity and hide-version make identity and version queries REFUSED. - Run unbound-checkconf before every restart. - Put it inside a WireGuard tunnel; plain DNS is not encrypted. - Ember, $3.74 a month on 12 months, runs it. ## Unbound private resolver: common questions ### Does Unbound validate DNSSEC? Unbound is a validating resolver, and its manual describes the trust-anchor and harden-dnssec-stripped options. Check your install with dig +dnssec and look for the ad flag in the answer. ### Can I forward queries to another DNS provider instead? Yes, Unbound supports forwarding, but then that provider sees your queries. This guide resolves recursively so no single provider does. ### Why did unbound-checkconf fail? It reports the file and line of the first error. Typical causes are a typo in a keyword or a missing colon. Fix it and run the command again before restarting the service. ### Do I need to open port 53 in the firewall? Only on the tunnel interface. Keep it closed on the public interface, and keep the access-control list limited to your own network. ### What does prefetch do? With prefetch set to yes, a cache hit in the last 10 percent of an entry’s lifetime triggers a background refresh. The manual says this adds about 10 percent more traffic and load. ## Sources 1.

Dusk, 2 GB RAM and 2 TB of traffic, costs $5.25 a month on the 12-month term. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-run-a-tor-relay-on-a-vps/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) A non-exit relay carries encrypted Tor traffic between other relays. This guide sets one up on Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04. **Quick answer — How do I run a Tor relay on a VPS?** To run a Tor relay on a VPS, install the tor package, write five lines in /etc/tor/torrc (Nickname, ContactInfo, ORPort, ExitRelay 0, SocksPort 0) and restart tor@default. A Gloamport Dusk plan, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, runs a middle relay for $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## What does a middle relay need from a VPS? | Item | Value in this guide | | --- | --- | | Plan | Dusk: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic | | Price | $5.25 a month on 12 months, $10.50 on 1 month | | Package | `tor`, from Debian or Ubuntu, or from the Tor Project repository | | Config file | `/etc/tor/torrc` | | ORPort | 443 in the Tor Project example; another port is allowed | | Relay type | Middle (guard) relay with `ExitRelay 0` | | Restart command | `systemctl restart tor@default` | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Config keys from the Tor Project relay guide and the Tor manual. ## What does a Tor relay do, and which kind should I run? A Tor relay forwards encrypted traffic from one Tor node to the next, so no single node sees both who connects and where to. The Tor Project's relay guide for Debian and Ubuntu sets up a middle (guard) relay, and its sample configuration disables the other kind with `ExitRelay 0`. A bridge is a relay that is not listed publicly; the Tor manual says `BridgeRelay 1` publishes its descriptor to the bridge database instead of the public directory. This guide covers the middle relay. On Gloamport, Tor relays may run on any plan, exit relays included, and so may bridges and onion services. The rules for all of this are laid out in [How does Gloamport work?](https://gloamport.com/how-it-works/ "How does a Gloamport VPS order work, and what rules apply?"). ## Which Gloamport plan runs a Tor relay? Dusk is the plan Gloamport pairs with a Tor relay: its description reads "A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site". It has 1 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 2 TB of monthly traffic, and the traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median monthly price of a 1 vCPU, 2 GB VPS across 32 hosts was $18.91. A relay uses bandwidth steadily, so cap it with the `RelayBandwidthRate` option if you want to stay under the monthly traffic of your plan. ## How do I run a Tor relay on a VPS, step by step? Five steps from a fresh server to a running middle relay. 1. **Keep the system updated** — Install security updates on time, ideally automatically. The Tor Project asks relay operators to do this first. 2. **Install tor** — Run apt update and apt install tor. The Tor Project recommends its own repository for newer versions; its support site has the steps. 3. **Write the torrc** — Set a Nickname, a ContactInfo address, an ORPort, ExitRelay 0 and SocksPort 0. The ContactInfo line is published. 4. **Restart tor** — Run systemctl restart tor@default, then read the log for a message that the ORPort is reachable. 5. **Open the ORPort** — Allow the TCP port you chose in the firewall you run on the VPS. ## How do I install tor and write the torrc? Install the package, then replace the contents of `/etc/tor/torrc` with the five lines below. `ExitRelay 0` blocks all exit traffic, and `SocksPort 0` stops the relay from also offering a local proxy. Change the nickname and use an address you read in public, because the Tor Project warns that ContactInfo "will be published". *Install and edit* ```bash apt update apt install tor nano /etc/tor/torrc ``` */etc/tor/torrc* ```text Nickname myNiceRelay ContactInfo your@e-mail ORPort 443 ExitRelay 0 SocksPort 0 ``` *Restart the relay* ```bash systemctl restart tor@default ``` ## How do I limit the bandwidth my relay uses? Add `RelayBandwidthRate` and `RelayBandwidthBurst` to the torrc. The Tor manual defines `RelayBandwidthRate` as a token bucket that limits the average incoming and outgoing relayed traffic to the given rate, and the default of 0 means no separate limit. Pick a value in a unit the manual accepts, such as KBytes or MBits, that fits the monthly traffic of your plan. *Example limit (adjust the numbers)* ```text RelayBandwidthRate 2 MBits RelayBandwidthBurst 4 MBits ``` > **A relay is not an onion site** A relay carries other people's traffic. An onion service publishes your own site inside Tor. They use different torrc keys and can run on the same VPS: see How do I host an onion site on a VPS?. ## How do I check that my Tor relay works? Read the tor log and wait: a new relay takes time to appear in the public relay list, and its traffic grows slowly. Use `journalctl -u tor@default` to read the log; look for a line saying the ORPort is reachable from outside. Keep the VPS itself tidy while the relay runs. [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?") takes ten minutes and matters more than any Tor setting. Plans and terms are on [the pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"): Dusk is $10.50 a month, or $5.25 a month on 12 months. **In summary** - Install `tor` with apt, then edit `/etc/tor/torrc`. - The middle relay config is Nickname, ContactInfo, ORPort, `ExitRelay 0`, `SocksPort 0`. - Restart with `systemctl restart tor@default`. - ContactInfo is published, so use an address you do not mind showing. - `RelayBandwidthRate` caps the average relayed traffic. - Dusk (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic) costs $5.25 a month on 12 months. ## Running a Tor relay on a VPS: common questions ### Which port should the relay listen on? The Tor Project example uses ORPort 443, and says you can pick a different port. Whatever you choose, allow it in your firewall. ### What does ExitRelay 0 do? It makes the relay a middle relay. The Tor manual says it blocks all exit traffic and that the ExitPolicy is then ignored. ### What is a Tor bridge? A bridge is a relay set with `BridgeRelay 1` that publishes to the bridge database rather than the public directory, so censored users can find it. The manual also warns not to add MyFamily lines in bridge mode. ### How much traffic will a relay use? It depends on the bandwidth you give it. Set `RelayBandwidthRate` below what your plan's 2 TB monthly traffic allows. ### Can I run an onion service on the same VPS? Yes. A relay and an onion service use different torrc keys, and Dusk is described as fitting "a VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site". ## Sources 1.

This guide installs it from the official container image and keeps it private behind an SSH tunnel. **Quick answer — How do I self-host SearXNG on a VPS?** To self-host SearXNG on a VPS, install Docker and run the docker.io/searxng/searxng image with the port bound to 127.0.0.1:8888, then open it through an SSH tunnel. A Gloamport Gloam plan, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic, costs $8.25 a month on the 12-month term and holds it with room to spare. ## What does a self-hosted SearXNG need? | Item | Value | Source | | --- | --- | --- | | Image | docker.io/searxng/searxng:latest (mirror: ghcr.io/searxng/searxng) | SearXNG container docs | | Container port | 8080, published on the host as 127.0.0.1:8888 | SearXNG container docs | | Config folder | /etc/searxng/ in the container, ./config/ on the host | SearXNG container docs | | Data folder | /var/cache/searxng/ in the container, ./data/ on the host | SearXNG container docs | | Secret | server.secret_key, or the SEARXNG_SECRET variable | SearXNG installation docs | | Output formats | html only by default; json must be added to search.formats | SearXNG installation docs | | Suggested plan | Gloam: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic | Gloamport plan list | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* ## What is SearXNG, and why host it yourself? SearXNG is a free metasearch engine: it sends your query to many search engines and returns one merged page. Its documentation describes it as a privacy-respecting metasearch engine. Hosting it yourself means the instance has one user, you, and you decide its settings. A caveat comes first. The upstream engines still receive the query, from your VPS address instead of your own. Your VPS provider sees the traffic to the VPS. Self-hosting changes who sees what; it does not remove the search engines from the picture. Gloamport sells the server and nothing on top of it; the software is yours to run. ## How to self-host SearXNG on Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 Five steps, about fifteen minutes on a fresh VPS. 1. **Log in and update the system** — SSH to the VPS as root with your key and run apt update and apt upgrade. Setup time: 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. 2. **Install Docker Engine** — Add Docker’s apt repository by following the official install page for your system (Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04 are both supported), then install the packages shown in the code block below. 3. **Create the folders and a secret** — Make a searxng folder with config and data inside, and generate a random secret with openssl rand -hex 32. Keep the secret in a root-only file so you can recreate the container later. 4. **Start the container** — Run the docker run command in the code block. The -p option publishes the container port 8080 on 127.0.0.1:8888, so nothing outside the VPS can reach it. The restart policy brings it back after a reboot. 5. **Open it through an SSH tunnel** — On your own computer, run the ssh -L command in the code block, then browse to http://127.0.0.1:8888. Close the tunnel when you are done, or leave it open as a background session. *On the VPS: Docker, folders, container* ```bash # After adding Docker's apt repository (docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/) sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin # Folders and a secret mkdir -p ~/searxng/config ~/searxng/data cd ~/searxng umask 077; openssl rand -hex 32 > secret.txt # Container, published on loopback only sudo docker run --name searxng -d --restart unless-stopped \ -p 127.0.0.1:8888:8080 \ -e SEARXNG_SECRET="$(cat secret.txt)" \ -v "./config/:/etc/searxng/" \ -v "./data/:/var/cache/searxng/" \ docker.io/searxng/searxng:latest # Check it answers locally curl --head 127.0.0.1:8888 ``` *On your computer: the SSH tunnel* ```bash ssh -N -L 8888:127.0.0.1:8888 root@YOUR_VPS_IP ``` ## Should the instance be public or private? Keep it private unless you have a reason not to. A public instance gets crawled and abused by bots, and the SearXNG documentation ships a limiter setting for that, switched off in its template (server.limiter, default false). A one-user instance behind an SSH tunnel needs no limiter and no certificate. If you want to reach it from a phone without a tunnel, put a reverse proxy with HTTPS in front and add a password; that work is outside this guide. For a browser that already goes through your VPS, combine this with [How do I use SSH as a SOCKS proxy through my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-use-ssh-as-a-socks-proxy/ "How do I use SSH as a SOCKS proxy through my VPS?") and open the same tunnel for both. ## How much server does SearXNG use? A single-user instance fits in a small plan, and Gloam leaves room for other services. We give no benchmark figures: size the plan by what you run next to it. Gloamport lists Gloam as the plan for A Matrix server, Vaultwarden and SearXNG together, at $8.25 a month on the 12-month term ($16.50 on a single month). If SearXNG is the only service, Dusk (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, $5.25 a month on the 12-month term) is the smaller choice. Check the load with docker stats after a week and move up if memory is short. The [pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?") lists every size and term. ## How do you update and secure a self-hosted SearXNG? Update by pulling the image again and recreating the container, and secure it by keeping the port on loopback. Because the secret is passed by variable and the folders are mounted from the host, recreating the container loses nothing. Run docker pull on the image, remove the old container with docker rm -f searxng, and repeat the docker run command. Secure the host as well: SSH by key only, no password logins, and a firewall that allows SSH. See [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of the 49 providers ask for no ID document at sign-up; the server itself is yours to secure either way. **In summary** - SearXNG runs from docker.io/searxng/searxng with the config in /etc/searxng/. - Publish it as 127.0.0.1:8888:8080 so only the VPS itself can reach it. - Set a random secret; the SEARXNG_SECRET variable overrides server.secret_key. - Reach it from your computer with ssh -N -L 8888:127.0.0.1:8888. - The upstream search engines still see your queries, from the VPS address. - Gloam, $8.25 a month on 12 months, runs it beside other services. - Update by pulling the image and recreating the container. ## Self-hosting SearXNG: common questions ### Do I need a domain name? No, not behind an SSH tunnel. You open http://127.0.0.1:8888 on your own computer. A domain and a certificate matter only if you expose it on the public internet. ### Can I use Docker Compose instead? Yes. The SearXNG container page recommends Compose and gives a command to fetch its docker-compose.yml and .env.example. The single docker run command above is the manual route from the same page. ### How do I enable the JSON output? Add json under search.formats in settings.yml. The template enables html only, and removing a format denies access to it. ### Does self-hosting make my searches private? It removes a shared public instance from the path. The search engines SearXNG queries still receive each query, and the VPS provider sees the connection to the VPS. ### Which operating systems work? Gloamport images: Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows. The container runs the same on Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04. ## Sources 1.

Automatic HTTPS, signups closed, backup steps. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-self-host-vaultwarden/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Vaultwarden is a small server that speaks the Bitwarden API. This guide follows the Vaultwarden wiki: Docker Compose, Caddy for HTTPS, then signups closed and a backup. **Quick answer — How do I self-host Vaultwarden on a VPS?** To self-host Vaultwarden on a VPS, run the vaultwarden/server image with Docker Compose, put Caddy in front for automatic HTTPS on a domain you own, create your account, then turn signups off. Gloamport’s Dusk plan, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, costs $5.25 a month on the 12-month term. ## What does the Vaultwarden Compose setup contain? | Part | Value | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Vaultwarden image | `vaultwarden/server:latest` | Data stored in ./vw-data mounted at /data | | Reverse proxy | caddy:2 | Ports 80, 443 and 443/udp published | | DOMAIN variable | https://vault.example.com | Required behind a reverse proxy; HTTPS is needed for attachments | | Certificates | Caddy, ACME HTTP-01 challenge | The domain must reach the VPS on port 80 | | Signups | SIGNUPS_ALLOWED | True to create your account, then false | | Admin page | ADMIN_TOKEN | Off until a token is set; the wiki recommends an argon2 hash | | Suggested plan | Dusk: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic | Gloamport plan list | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* ## Is it a good idea to host your own password manager? It suits you if you accept the job of keeping it up, backed up and patched. Vaultwarden stores your vault encrypted, but the server still decides who can log in and holds the only copy unless you make others. Lose the data and there is no provider to restore it. Three facts shape the decision. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. A vault is only as available as the VPS that carries it, so keep an offline export of your vault as well. And the domain you use for it is public in DNS and in certificate logs, so choose one without your name in it. If those points are acceptable, a single small VPS is a normal home for it. ## How to install Vaultwarden with Docker Compose and Caddy You need a domain whose A record points at the VPS. The commands run on Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04. 1. **Install Docker Engine with the Compose plugin** — Follow the Docker install page for Debian or Ubuntu, then run the apt install line for docker-ce and docker-compose-plugin from the first code block. Check it with docker run hello-world. 2. **Create the project folder and the Caddyfile** — Make a vaultwarden folder and write the Caddyfile and docker-compose.yml from the code blocks. Replace vault.example.com with your domain and the e-mail with an address for the certificate. The address is for the certificate authority, not for Gloamport. 3. **Open the web ports** — Ports 80 and 443 must reach the VPS: the HTTP-01 challenge needs port 80 to obtain the certificate. If you use ufw or another firewall, allow 80/tcp, 443/tcp and 443/udp as well as SSH. 4. **Start the stack** — Run docker compose up -d in the folder. Caddy requests the certificate on first start. Open https://vault.example.com and create your account. 5. **Close the signups** — Set SIGNUPS_ALLOWED to "false" in the compose file and run docker compose up -d again. New accounts can then only be added by invitation or by you. 6. **Back up the data folder** — Use the Vaultwarden backup procedure in the last code block, on a schedule, with one copy stored off the VPS. *Install Docker, then start the stack* ```bash # After adding Docker's apt repository (docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/) sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin sudo docker run hello-world mkdir -p ~/vaultwarden && cd ~/vaultwarden # write docker-compose.yml and Caddyfile (below), then: sudo docker compose up -d ``` *docker-compose.yml (from the Vaultwarden wiki, domain changed)* ```yaml services: vaultwarden: image: vaultwarden/server:latest container_name: vaultwarden restart: always environment: DOMAIN: "https://vault.example.com" SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: "true" volumes: - ./vw-data:/data caddy: image: caddy:2 container_name: caddy restart: always ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 - 443:443/udp volumes: - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro - ./caddy-config:/config - ./caddy-data:/data environment: DOMAIN: "https://vault.example.com" EMAIL: "you@example.com" ``` *Caddyfile* ```text {$DOMAIN} { tls {$EMAIL} encode zstd gzip reverse_proxy vaultwarden:80 { header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host} } } ``` *Admin token hash and backup (Vaultwarden wiki)* ```bash # Optional admin page: hash a long random password, put the result in ADMIN_TOKEN sudo docker exec -it vaultwarden /vaultwarden hash # Database backup while the server runs (SQLite online backup) sqlite3 vw-data/db.sqlite3 ".backup '/root/backups/db-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M).sqlite3'" # Also copy: vw-data/attachments/, vw-data/config.json, vw-data/rsa_key* ``` ## What should you back up from a Vaultwarden server? Back up db.sqlite3, the attachments folder, config.json and the rsa_key files. The Vaultwarden backup page lists db.sqlite3 and attachments as required, config.json and the rsa_key files as recommended, and sends and the icon cache as optional. It says to use SQLite’s own .backup command rather than copying the file while it is open, and to avoid relying on file-system or VM snapshots. The page also warns that config.json holds some plaintext secrets, so encrypt it before it leaves the VPS. Run the backup daily, keep one copy elsewhere, and restore it once on a spare machine to prove it works. Vaultwarden versions from 1.32.1 also have a built-in backup command in the wiki. ## Which Gloamport plan runs Vaultwarden? Dusk is the plan we would start from: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic at $5.25 a month on the 12-month term, $10.50 on a single month. The Vaultwarden wiki gives no sizing figures and we have not benchmarked it, so treat Dusk as a starting point. If you also run a chat server and a search engine on the same VPS, Gloam (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic, $8.25 a month on the 12-month term) is listed for A Matrix server, Vaultwarden and SearXNG together. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of the 49 providers listed ask for no ID document at sign-up. The [plans and terms](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?") page lists every size. ## How do you protect the admin page and the server? Leave the admin page off unless you need it, and secure SSH before anything else. The wiki says the admin page exists only once an authentication token is set, that the token acts as the password for the admin area, and that HTTPS should be active before you turn it on. It recommends storing the token as an argon2 hash so it cannot simply be read from the configuration. On the host, use key-only SSH and a firewall, as in [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). A password manager server is a prime target, so apply updates by pulling the images again and running docker compose up -d. For a second service on the same VPS see [How do I host a Matrix server on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-host-a-matrix-server/ "How do I host a Matrix server on a VPS?"). **In summary** - Vaultwarden runs from vaultwarden/server with its data in ./vw-data. - Caddy fetches the HTTPS certificate with the HTTP-01 challenge; the domain must reach port 80. - Set DOMAIN to the https URL; the wiki says HTTPS is needed for attachments. - Create your account, then set SIGNUPS_ALLOWED to false. - The admin page needs an ADMIN_TOKEN; the wiki recommends an argon2 hash. - Back up db.sqlite3 with .backup, plus attachments, config.json and rsa_key files. - Dusk, $5.25 a month on 12 months, is a starting plan. ## Self-hosting Vaultwarden: common questions ### Do I need a domain name? Yes for the setup here. DOMAIN must be an https URL and Caddy gets its certificate for that name. The wiki describes a DNS-challenge route for private instances without public access. ### Is Vaultwarden the same as Bitwarden? No. Vaultwarden is a separate, lighter server that works with Bitwarden clients. You use the Bitwarden apps and point them at your own server address. ### How do I stop other people creating accounts? Set SIGNUPS_ALLOWED to false after you have made your account, then recreate the container. Invitations can still add users when registration is closed. ### What if the VPS dies? You restore from your backup. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. Keep the encrypted backup off the VPS and test a restore once. ### Which images does Gloamport offer? Images: Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10.

This guide shows how to read both before you press send. **Quick answer — How do I send USDT on the right network (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?** To send USDT on the right network, choose the same network in your wallet as the one the receiving address belongs to: TRC-20 on Tron or ERC-20 on Ethereum. Gloamport takes USDT on the networks listed in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, so a Dusk VPS at $5.25 a month on the 12-month term is paid on the network its checkout shows. ## How do the two common USDT networks differ? | Point | TRC-20 (Tron) | ERC-20 (Ethereum) | | --- | --- | --- | | Address shape | 34 characters, starts with T | 42 characters, starts with 0x, then 40 hex digits | | Fee is paid in | TRX: bandwidth and energy, burned from TRX when none is staked | ETH: gas, paid in the network’s native currency | | What the wallet needs besides USDT | A little TRX | A little ETH | | Fee depends on | Energy a contract call uses and the TRX burned for it | Units of gas used times (base fee + priority fee) | | Where the transfer is visible | A public Tron block explorer | A public Ethereum block explorer | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Address shapes from the Tron developer documentation and ethereum.org; fee rules from the same sources. See the sources block below. ## Why does the network matter for a USDT payment? The network matters because USDT is a token that exists on many blockchains, and each blockchain keeps its own balances. Tether lists USDT on Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Avalanche, TON and several other protocols, and states that tokens on the different chains are treated as interchangeable in value. Interchangeable in value does not mean a wallet can send from one chain to an address on another. The address you copy belongs to one chain; the wallet you send from must submit the transfer to that same chain. A Tron address and an Ethereum address look different, which helps, but the network label in your wallet is the part you must check by eye. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. A USDT payment is therefore a public record on the chain you choose. ## How to send USDT on the right network Six steps, in this order. Do them before you send anything. 1. **Read the network in the checkout** — Open the Gloamport checkout, pick USDT and read the network name shown next to the address. The checkout lists the USDT networks it takes; only those work. The coins and networks are listed in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. 2. **Check which network your wallet or exchange withdrawal offers** — In the withdraw screen of the wallet or exchange, find the field named Network or Chain. Select the same network as the checkout. If your wallet offers only one USDT network, check that it is on the list before going on. 3. **Keep the fee coin in the wallet** — A TRC-20 transfer needs TRX for the fee; an ERC-20 transfer needs ETH for gas. USDT cannot pay its own fee on these two networks. Buy a little of the fee coin first if the balance is zero. 4. **Copy the address from the checkout and compare its shape** — Paste the address into your wallet from the checkout, never from a message or a note. A Tron address starts with T and has 34 characters; an Ethereum address starts with 0x and has 42. Compare the first and last six characters with the checkout. 5. **Send the exact amount shown** — Enter the USDT amount the checkout asks for. The minimum top-up is $25. If the wallet takes the fee out of the USDT you send, raise the amount so the receiving address still gets the full figure. 6. **Wait for confirmations and keep the transaction ID** — The checkout shows how many confirmations your network needs before the balance is credited. Save the transaction ID (TXID) shown by your wallet: it is the proof of payment if you contact support. *Check an address shape before you paste it (a format check, not a validity check)* ```bash # Tron (TRC-20): 34 characters, base58, starts with T echo "$ADDR" | grep -E '^T[1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{33}$' # Ethereum (ERC-20): 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal digits echo "$ADDR" | grep -E '^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$' ``` ## What does a USDT transfer cost on each network? The cost is a network fee paid in the chain’s native coin, not in USDT. On Tron, the Tron documentation says smart-contract calls consume energy, that energy has no free quota, and that TRX is burned for the part of the cost that staked energy does not cover. A TRC-20 transfer is a contract call, so a wallet with no staked energy pays in TRX. On Ethereum, gas fees are paid in ETH and equal units of gas times the base fee plus the priority fee, and contract interactions use more gas than a plain ETH transfer. Both fees move with network load, so read the figure in your wallet when you send. A Gloam VPS at $8.25 a month on the 12-month term is a small payment, so a fee that is a visible share of it is a reason to pick the cheaper network on the list. ## What should you do if you sent USDT on the wrong network? Stop and do not send again. A transfer on a network that the receiver does not use does not credit the order, and whether the funds can be recovered depends on who controls the receiving address on that network. Write down the TXID, the network you used and the address, then contact support through A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules with those three items. Do not send a second payment to “make up” the first one. Only the order, the coin and the network shown in the checkout are credited. The [Can I pay for a VPS with USDT?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-usdt/ "Can I pay for a VPS with USDT?") page explains what the checkout accepts. ## How does a USDT payment compare with paying in Monero? A USDT payment is public on its chain, while a Monero payment is not shown by a public explorer. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 21 of the 49 providers listed accept USDT, against 26 that accept Monero. The network step does not exist for Monero in the same way: it has one network. If the point of your order is to keep the payment off a public ledger, read [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). If you hold USDT already, the steps above are enough. Either way, no name, address or identity document is requested at checkout, as the [Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?](https://gloamport.com/vps-no-kyc/ "Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?") page explains. ## Which VPS size should a USDT payment cover? Cover one term of the plan that fits the job, and leave a margin for the fee. Ember, at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, fits A WireGuard VPN for a few devices. Dusk, at $5.25, fits A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site. Terms run 1, 3, 6 or 12 months (3 at least for Ember and Dusk); the 12-month price per month is the smallest of the four. See [the plans](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?") for every size. **In summary** - USDT exists on many networks; the network you send on must match the receiving address. - TRC-20 addresses start with T (34 characters); ERC-20 addresses start with 0x (42 characters). - TRC-20 fees are paid in TRX, ERC-20 fees in ETH, so keep a little of that coin in the wallet. - Copy the address from the checkout and check the network name, not just the first characters. - Gloamport’s checkout takes only the USDT networks listed in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. - Keep the TXID; it is your proof of payment. - Do not resend after a mistake: contact support with the TXID, network and address. ## USDT networks: common questions ### Is TRC-20 or ERC-20 better for paying a VPS? Neither is better in itself. TRC-20 pays its fee in TRX and ERC-20 in ETH, so the better one is the network your wallet already holds the fee coin for, among the networks the checkout lists. ### Can I send USDT from an exchange? Yes, if its withdrawal screen lets you pick the network that the checkout shows. Exchanges may add their own withdrawal fee. ### Can I use the same address for Tron and Ethereum? No. A Tron address starts with T and an Ethereum address with 0x, so each belongs to one chain. Never reuse one chain’s address on the other. ### Why does my wallet say I have no funds for the fee? On Tron the fee is paid in TRX and on Ethereum in ETH, not in USDT. Add a small amount of that coin to the same wallet, then send again. ### Do I have to send the exact amount? Send the amount the checkout shows, and at least the minimum top-up of $25. If your sending service deducts a fee from the amount, add it so the full figure arrives. ## Sources 1.

Ember, 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM, runs it from $3.74 a month. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) A full WireGuard server on a 1 GB VPS, with the exact commands for Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04. **Quick answer — How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?** To set up WireGuard on a VPS, install the wireguard package on Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04, make a key pair with wg genkey, write /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf with a ListenPort, and start it with wg-quick up wg0. A Gloamport Ember plan, 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic, runs it for $3.74 a month on a 12-month term. ## What do I need to set up WireGuard on a VPS? | Item | Value used in this guide | | --- | --- | | Plan | Ember: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic | | Price | $3.74 a month on 12 months, $7.48 a month on 1 month | | System | Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 | | Package | `wireguard` (installs `wg` and `wg-quick`) | | Config file | `/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf` | | UDP port | 51820 (the port used in the WireGuard quickstart) | | Tunnel subnet | 10.8.0.0/24 (a private range chosen for this guide) | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* The commands come from the WireGuard quickstart, the wg-quick man page and the kernel documentation, checked on 2026-11-10. ## Which Gloamport plan runs a WireGuard server? Ember is enough for a WireGuard server: Gloamport lists it for "A WireGuard VPN for a few devices". It has 1 vCPU, 1 GB of RAM and 1 TB of traffic a month, and WireGuard uses little of the first two. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median price of a comparable 1 vCPU, 1 GB VPS across 32 hosts was $10.55 a month. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size; the point is that a VPN server does not need a large plan. Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. For the account side, see [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS, step by step? Seven steps from a fresh root login to a working tunnel. 1. **Log in and install WireGuard** — Open a root SSH session on the new VPS and run apt update then apt install wireguard. The package provides wg and wg-quick. 2. **Generate the server keys** — Set umask 077, then create a private key and derive the public key from it. The private key never leaves the server. 3. **Generate the client keys** — Do the same on your laptop or phone. Each device has its own key pair; you only exchange public keys. 4. **Write wg0.conf on the server** — Give the server an address inside the tunnel subnet, a ListenPort, its private key, and one [Peer] per device with that device's public key and a single tunnel address. 5. **Write the client config** — Point Endpoint at the VPS IPv4 address and port, set AllowedIPs, and add PersistentKeepalive = 25 if the client sits behind NAT. 6. **Start the interface** — Run wg-quick up wg0 on both ends, then systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0 on the server so it returns after a reboot. 7. **Check the handshake** — Run wg show. A "latest handshake" line under the peer means the keys match and the UDP port is reachable. ## How do I generate the keys and write the server config? Generate keys with `wg genkey` and `wg pubkey`, with `umask 077` set first so the private key file is readable only by root. The WireGuard quickstart gives the same one-liner used below. *Install and generate the server key pair* ```bash apt update apt install wireguard umask 077 wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/server.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/server.pub cat /etc/wireguard/server.pub ``` */etc/wireguard/wg0.conf on the VPS* ```ini [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.1/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = [Peer] # laptop PublicKey = AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.2/32 ``` ## How do I write the client config and start the tunnel? Write a second file on the client with its own private key, the server public key and the VPS address, then bring it up with `wg-quick up`. The `AllowedIPs` line decides which traffic enters the tunnel: `10.8.0.0/24` sends only tunnel traffic, `0.0.0.0/0, ::/0` sends everything. *wg0.conf on the laptop (full tunnel)* ```ini [Interface] Address = 10.8.0.2/24 PrivateKey = [Peer] PublicKey = Endpoint = :51820 AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 PersistentKeepalive = 25 ``` *Start it and check the handshake* ```bash # on the VPS wg-quick up wg0 systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0 wg show # on the laptop wg-quick up wg0 ``` ## How do I route all my traffic through the VPS? To use the VPS as an exit for all your traffic, turn on IPv4 forwarding and add a masquerade rule on the server. The kernel documentation defines `net.ipv4.ip_forward` as the switch that forwards packets between interfaces, and its default is 0. The MASQUERADE target is valid only in the nat table, in the POSTROUTING chain. Put both in the `[Interface]` section of the server file with `PostUp` and `PostDown`, which `wg-quick` runs in bash and where `%i` expands to the interface name. Find the public interface name first with `ip route show default`, then replace `eth0` below. *Extra lines for the server [Interface] section* ```ini PostUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 PostUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE ``` > **Open the UDP port and guard the keys** Allow UDP 51820 in the firewall you run on the VPS, because WireGuard answers only peers it knows. Never paste a private key into a chat or a ticket: if one leaks, make a new pair and replace the public key on the other end. ## How do I know the WireGuard tunnel works? Run `wg show` on the server: a peer with a recent "latest handshake" and non-zero transfer counters is connected. If the handshake never appears, check that both public keys are on the right side, that the Endpoint address is the VPS IPv4 address, and that UDP 51820 is open. Once it works, a 12-month Ember at $3.74 a month covers a personal VPN for a few devices, as the plan description says. Compare this route with a commercial one in [Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?](https://gloamport.com/self-hosted-vpn-vs-vpn-service/ "Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?"). If the other end is a home server behind a carrier-grade NAT, continue with [How do I connect my home network to a VPS with WireGuard (behind CGNAT)?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-connect-your-home-network-to-a-vps-with-wireguard/ "How do I connect my home network to a VPS with WireGuard (behind CGNAT)?"). Then lock the VPS down with [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). **In summary** - Install `wireguard` with apt on Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04. - Create keys with `umask 077` and `wg genkey | tee … | wg pubkey`. - The server file needs Address, ListenPort, PrivateKey and one Peer per device. - The client file needs the server public key, Endpoint and AllowedIPs. - `PersistentKeepalive = 25` keeps a NAT mapping open. - Full-tunnel use needs `net.ipv4.ip_forward=1` and a MASQUERADE rule. - Ember costs $3.74 a month on 12 months. ## WireGuard on a VPS: common questions ### Which port does WireGuard use? WireGuard uses the UDP port set by ListenPort in the config. The quickstart example uses 51820, and this guide does the same. Open that port in your firewall. ### Is Ember big enough for WireGuard? Gloamport lists Ember (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic) for a WireGuard VPN for a few devices. The traffic cap of 1 TB a month is the limit to watch. ### What does PersistentKeepalive do? It sends a packet every N seconds so a NAT device keeps the mapping open. The WireGuard quickstart calls 25 seconds a sensible interval, and 0 turns it off. ### How do I start WireGuard at boot? Run `systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0`. Debian's wireguard-tools package ships the `wg-quick@.service` unit. ### Can I add a second device later? Yes. Generate a key pair on the new device, add another `[Peer]` block with its public key and a new tunnel address such as 10.8.0.3/32, then reload with `wg syncconf wg0 <(wg-quick strip wg0)`. ## Sources 1.

Dusk is $5.25 a month on 12 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-ssh-into-a-vps-over-tor/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) There are two ways to use Tor with SSH: connect to the VPS through Tor, or make the VPS reachable as an onion service. This guide shows both, with the limits of each. **Quick answer — How do I SSH into my VPS over Tor?** To SSH into your VPS over Tor, install tor on your computer and run torsocks ssh user@your-vps, or add an onion service on the VPS with HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22 and connect to its .onion name. Gloamport’s Dusk plan, 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic at $5.25 a month on 12 months, fits both. ## Which route fits which goal? | Route | What you install | Who sees what | Main cost | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Client route: torsocks ssh to the VPS address | tor and torsocks on your computer | The VPS sees a Tor relay address, not your home address; your ISP sees only Tor traffic | Slower connections; the VPS still has a public SSH port | | Onion route: SSH as an onion service | tor on the VPS and on your computer | Neither side learns the other’s IP address; the SSH port can be closed to the internet | A second thing to keep running and secure | | Onion route with client authorization | Same, plus an x25519 key pair | Only holders of the key can even resolve the service | Key to back up | Routes as described in the Tor Project documentation; see the sources below. ## Why would you SSH over Tor? You would do it to keep your own network address out of the server’s records. Without Tor, the server sees the address you connect from; over Tor it sees a Tor relay’s address. The route does not hide who you are from your VPS: you log in with your key, which is your identity there. Tor also adds delay. A shell over Tor is usable but slower than a direct one, and a bulk copy is slow. Treat Tor as the way in when your direct address matters, and keep a direct route for large transfers. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. If you have not made a key yet, read [How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ "How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?") first. ## How do I SSH into a VPS over Tor with the client route? Nothing is needed on the VPS. Commands are for Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04. 1. **Install Tor and torsocks on your computer** — Run apt install tor torsocks netcat-openbsd. Tor listens as a SOCKS proxy on 127.0.0.1:9050 by default, which is the address torsocks uses without configuration. 2. **Start Tor** — Run systemctl enable --now tor and wait for the service to bootstrap. The Tor log in journalctl shows when it is ready. 3. **Connect with torsocks** — Run torsocks ssh and the user and address of your VPS. torsocks sends the connection through the Tor SOCKS port. 4. **Or make it permanent in ssh_config** — Add a Host entry with ProxyCommand nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p. SSH expands %h and %p into the host name and port, and nc speaks SOCKS5 to Tor. 5. **Check the address the server sees** — Once logged in, run the who command, or last, and look at the source address. It is a Tor relay, not your own address. *Client route* ```bash sudo apt install tor torsocks netcat-openbsd sudo systemctl enable --now tor torsocks ssh root@YOUR_VPS_IP # ~/.ssh/config alternative Host gloam-tor HostName YOUR_VPS_IP User root ProxyCommand nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p ``` ## How do I make the VPS reachable as an onion service? Do this while your normal SSH route still works. If you close port 22 first and the onion service fails, you have no shell. 1. **Install Tor on the VPS** — Log in over normal SSH and run apt install tor. 2. **Add the hidden service to torrc** — Append HiddenServiceDir and HiddenServicePort lines to /etc/tor/torrc. The manual says each hidden service needs its own directory, and that HiddenServicePort maps a virtual port to a target, by default on 127.0.0.1. 3. **Restart Tor and read the address** — Run systemctl restart tor, then cat the hostname file inside the HiddenServiceDir. It holds your .onion address. 4. **Connect from your computer** — With Tor running on your computer, run torsocks ssh user@ADDRESS.onion. Compare the host key fingerprint with the one you know from the normal route. 5. **Restrict who can find it (optional)** — Add client authorization: put a one-line .auth file in authorized_clients/ on the VPS and a matching .auth_private file in the client’s ClientOnionAuthDir, as in the onion-services client-authorization page. 6. **Only then close the public port** — When the onion login works from a second session, restrict sshd or the firewall so the public address no longer answers SSH, if that is what you want. *Onion route: torrc on the VPS and the first login* ```bash # /etc/tor/torrc (append) HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/ssh_service/ HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22 sudo systemctl restart tor sudo cat /var/lib/tor/ssh_service/hostname # On your computer torsocks ssh root@YOUR_ADDRESS.onion ``` *Optional client authorization (formats from the Tor Project)* ```text # VPS: /var/lib/tor/ssh_service/authorized_clients/alice.auth (one line) descriptor:x25519:BASE32_PUBLIC_KEY # Your computer: torrc ClientOnionAuthDir /var/lib/tor/onion_auth # Your computer: /var/lib/tor/onion_auth/alice.auth_private (one line) ONION_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_.onion:descriptor:x25519:BASE32_PRIVATE_KEY ``` ## What are the limits of SSH over Tor? The limits are speed, the login itself and the second service. Speed first: the circuit adds delay to every keystroke. Then the login: your SSH key still proves who you are to the VPS, so never reuse one key for a server tied to your name. Last, the onion service is a second program to patch; Tor’s own manual says every hidden service needs a separate directory and that the hostname file in it holds the address, so protect that directory as you would a key. Tor does not stop mistakes. A shell that opens a web page from your own browser, or a file you copy over the clear route, still ties you to the server. For more on onion services themselves read [What is an onion service, and how does it work?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-an-onion-service/ "What is an onion service, and how does it work?"). ## Which Gloamport plan do you need for an onion service? Dusk is the plan listed for it: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic, $5.25 a month on the 12-month term, $10.50 on a single month. Gloamport describes it as A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site. An SSH onion service alone is light, so Ember ($3.74 a month on the 12-month term) also works; we have not benchmarked either. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 10 of the 49 providers listed publish an onion address for their own site. If you also want to publish a site, see [How do I host an onion site on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-host-an-onion-site/ "How do I host an onion site on a VPS?"), and lock the base system first with [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). **In summary** - Client route: install tor and torsocks, then run torsocks ssh user@vps. - Tor listens on SOCKS port 9050 by default; ProxyCommand nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p does the same from ssh_config. - Onion route: HiddenServiceDir plus HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22 in the VPS torrc. - The .onion address is in the hostname file of the HiddenServiceDir. - Client authorization uses a descriptor:x25519 line in authorized_clients/*.auth. - Close the public SSH port only after the onion login works. - Dusk, $5.25 a month on 12 months, is the matching plan. ## SSH over Tor: common questions ### Does SSH over Tor hide my identity from the VPS? No. It hides your network address, but you still sign in with your key and your account. Use a separate key for a server you do not want tied to other work. ### Why does torsocks ssh say connection refused? Tor is probably not running, or has not finished bootstrapping. Check the service, then wait until it is ready. torsocks uses the SOCKS port 127.0.0.1:9050 unless you configure another. ### Can I use the VPS dashboard if I lock out SSH? Yes for reboots and reinstalls: Reboots and reinstalls are requested from the dashboard and carried out by the team; a reinstall erases the disk. A reinstall wipes the disk, so keep a working SSH route and a copy of what you need. ### Where is my onion address stored? In the hostname file inside the HiddenServiceDir on the VPS, together with the keys that make up the service. Back the directory up if you want to keep the same address. ### Is the client route or the onion route safer? The onion route keeps the SSH port off the public internet, which removes a target. The client route needs nothing installed on the VPS and is quicker to try. ## Sources 1.

Ember, $3.74 a month on 12 months, is enough for it. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-use-ssh-as-a-socks-proxy/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) OpenSSH can open a SOCKS5 proxy on your own machine and send everything through your VPS. No software is installed on the server. **Quick answer — How do I use SSH as a SOCKS proxy through my VPS?** Run ssh -D 127.0.0.1:1080 -N user@your-vps from your computer, then point an application at the SOCKS5 proxy 127.0.0.1:1080. Traffic leaves from the VPS address. A Gloamport Ember plan, 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, carries it, because OpenSSH is already on the server. ## Which SSH options does a SOCKS proxy use? | Option | Where | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | -D [bind_address:]port | ssh command line | Local dynamic forwarding: ssh acts as a SOCKS4/SOCKS5 server on that port | | -N | ssh command line | Do not run a remote command; only forward | | -f | ssh command line | Go to the background after authentication | | -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes | ssh command line | End the connection if the forwarding cannot be set up | | DynamicForward | ~/.ssh/config | Same as -D, stored in the config file | | ServerAliveInterval | ~/.ssh/config | Ask the server for a reply after this many silent seconds; the default 0 turns it off | Option meanings from the OpenSSH ssh and ssh_config manual pages. ## What does an SSH SOCKS proxy do, and what does it not do? An SSH SOCKS proxy sends the traffic of the applications you point at it through an encrypted SSH connection to your VPS, which then opens the real connections. The ssh manual describes -D as local dynamic forwarding in which ssh acts as a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 server, and the remote machine reads the destination from the application protocol. The websites you visit then see the VPS address, not your home address. Three things stay the same. Only applications configured for the proxy use it; the rest of your system goes out the usual way. Your VPS provider can see the connection from your address to the VPS. And the sites you log in to still know who you are. A SOCKS proxy moves the origin of requests; it does not hide your identity from the services you sign in to. If you need every application on a device routed, use a tunnel instead: [How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ "How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?"). ## How to use SSH as a SOCKS proxy You need a VPS you can already log in to over SSH. If you have no key yet, start with the key guide. 1. **Log in once to confirm access** — Connect with ssh root@YOUR_VPS_IP or the user you created. Gloamport hands you root over SSH: the key you pasted at checkout, or a temporary root password if you left the field empty. Change that password at first login. 2. **Open the dynamic forward** — On your own computer, run the first command in the code block below. The terminal stays busy and prints nothing: the proxy is open for as long as it runs. Binding to 127.0.0.1 keeps the port reachable from your computer only. 3. **Test it with curl** — In a second terminal, run the curl command from the code block. --socks5-hostname makes the proxy resolve the name, so DNS lookups also go through the VPS. Replace example.org with an address-check page of your choice to see the VPS address. 4. **Point your browser at the proxy** — In the browser’s network settings choose a manual proxy: SOCKS host 127.0.0.1, port 1080, SOCKS v5. Turn on the browser’s option to resolve DNS through the proxy (Firefox labels it “Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5”) so lookups do not leak to your local resolver. 5. **Run it in the background if you want** — Add -f and -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes to the command. ssh then goes to the background once the forward is up, and stops with an error if the port is taken. Stop it later with the kill command in the code block. 6. **Save it in ~/.ssh/config** — Put a Host entry with DynamicForward and ServerAliveInterval in your SSH config, then start the proxy with ssh -N gloam-proxy. The alive messages keep an idle connection from being dropped silently. *Open the proxy, test it and stop it* ```bash # Foreground: the proxy lives as long as this command runs ssh -D 127.0.0.1:1080 -N root@YOUR_VPS_IP # Test from a second terminal; the proxy resolves the name too curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:1080 https://example.org/ # Background version ssh -f -N -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -D 127.0.0.1:1080 root@YOUR_VPS_IP # Stop the background proxy pkill -f "ssh -f -N -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -D 127.0.0.1:1080" ``` *~/.ssh/config entry* ```text Host gloam-proxy HostName YOUR_VPS_IP User root DynamicForward 127.0.0.1:1080 ServerAliveInterval 30 ExitOnForwardFailure yes ``` ## Which Gloamport plan is enough for an SSH proxy? The smallest plan is enough, since the server only relays bytes. Ember gives 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic for $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, and $22.44 for 3 months. The traffic figure matters more than the CPU: everything you browse counts against the plan’s monthly allowance. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. A heavier use, such as several people sharing one proxy, is a reason to step up to Dusk at $5.25 a month, which is sized for A VPN plus a Tor relay or an onion site. Plans come in 1, 3, 6 and 12-month terms, with 3 months at least for Ember and Dusk; see [the plans and terms](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). ## How do you make the SSH side safe before you route traffic through it? Use a key, not a password, and turn password logins off once the key works. That keeps the one open port on your VPS from being a guessing target. The steps are in [How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ "How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?") and [How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-harden-ssh-on-a-vps/ "How do I harden SSH on a new VPS?"). A second point is the bind address. The ssh manual says a -D port follows the GatewayPorts setting unless you give an address, and that an empty address or * exposes the port on all interfaces. Always write 127.0.0.1 in front of the port, as in the commands above, so nobody else on your network can use your proxy. ## Is an SSH SOCKS proxy better than a VPN? An SSH proxy is quicker to set up and a VPN covers more. The proxy needs one command and no server software, but it handles only the applications that speak SOCKS. A VPN tunnel carries all traffic from the device. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of the 49 providers listed ask for no ID document at sign-up, so a server to run a proxy on does not have to cost you your documents. For a longer comparison read [Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?](https://gloamport.com/self-hosted-vpn-vs-vpn-service/ "Is a self-hosted VPN on a VPS better than a VPN service?"). **In summary** - ssh -D 127.0.0.1:1080 -N user@vps makes a local SOCKS5 proxy that exits from the VPS. - Nothing extra is installed on the server; OpenSSH is enough. - Use curl --socks5-hostname so DNS is resolved through the proxy as well. - Bind to 127.0.0.1; an empty bind address exposes the port on every interface. - Only applications set to use the proxy go through it; a VPN carries everything. - Ember, $3.74 a month on 12 months, runs it. - Log in with a key, then switch password logins off. ## SSH SOCKS proxy: common questions ### Does ssh -D work with SOCKS4 and SOCKS5? Yes. The ssh manual says ssh acts as a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 server for -D. Use SOCKS5 where the application offers it, because it can pass host names to the proxy. ### Why does my browser still use my local DNS? The browser resolves names itself unless you tell it to send lookups through the proxy. Turn on the remote DNS option for SOCKS v5, and use curl --socks5-hostname for tests. ### How do I keep the proxy from closing when idle? Set ServerAliveInterval in ~/.ssh/config, for example 30. Its default is 0, which sends no alive messages at all. ### Can I share the proxy with other devices on my network? You can by changing the bind address, but it exposes the proxy to every device that can reach that port. Keep 127.0.0.1 unless you protect the port with a firewall. ### Can I chain it through another host? Yes. ssh -J (ProxyJump) connects through one or more jump hosts first; configure the jump hosts in ~/.ssh/config, because command-line options apply to the destination only. ## Sources 1.

A Dusk disk is 40 GB NVMe; renewals stop when the balance is low. - URL: https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-wipe-a-vps-before-cancelling/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) You control the contents of your virtual disk, not the hardware under it. This guide wipes what you control, says where the limit is, and ends with the reinstall and the stop of renewal. **Quick answer — How do I wipe my VPS before cancelling it?** To wipe your VPS before cancelling it, copy out what you need, revoke your keys and tokens, shred the secret files, fill the free space with zeros, then ask for a reinstall in the dashboard, which erases the disk. At Gloamport a Dusk disk is 40 GB NVMe, so the zero fill is short. ## What does each wipe tool actually do? | Tool | What it does | Does it destroy the data? | | --- | --- | --- | | wipefs -a | Erases filesystem, RAID and partition-table signatures | No: the man page says it does not erase the filesystem or other data | | shred -n 1 -z -v FILE | Overwrites a file or device, then a final pass of zeros | Only if the file system and hardware overwrite in place; many platforms do not | | blkdiscard | Discards a region of a block device | Data in the region is lost; a plain discard is not documented as guaranteeing erasure | | blkdiscard -z | Zero-fills the region instead of discarding it | Yes, as far as the device honors the writes | | dd if=/dev/zero of=FILE | Fills free space of a mounted file system with zeros | Overwrites the free blocks of your virtual disk | | cryptsetup erase DEVICE | Erases all keyslots of a LUKS container | Makes the container permanently inaccessible; the data is not overwritten | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Behavior as stated in the man pages of util-linux, coreutils and cryptsetup; see the sources below. ## What can you wipe on a virtual server, and what can you not? You can wipe the contents of your virtual disk, and you cannot reach the storage under it. Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. The disk you see is a virtual one, and where its blocks land on the hardware is decided by the host, not by you. That is the limit of every overwrite tool. The shred man page says it assumes the file system and hardware overwrite data in place, and that many platforms operate otherwise. On a VPS you cannot check. So treat the steps below as removing your data from the disk you can see, and treat the strongest protection as the one you set up at the start: if you encrypted the disk, destroying the key is what makes old blocks unreadable. See [Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-encrypt-a-vps-disk-with-luks/ "Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?"). ## How to wipe a Linux VPS before cancelling Run these as root on the VPS, in this order. They are written for Debian 13 and Ubuntu 24.04. 1. **Copy out what you want to keep** — Pull your data to your own machine with rsync or scp, and check that it opens. Gloamport includes no backups, so this copy is the only one: No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. 2. **Revoke the secrets that live on the server** — Remove your keys from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, delete API tokens and certificates the VPS used, and rotate any password that was ever typed on it. Do this from the service side too, not only on the disk. If you reuse the key on other servers, replace it, as in How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS? 3. **Stop the services and delete their data** — Stop containers and daemons, then remove their data folders: vaults, databases, mail, web roots. A deleted file still leaves its blocks on the disk until they are overwritten. 4. **Shred the small secret files** — Run shred on host keys, key files and config files that hold secrets. Use -n 1 -z -v for one random pass plus a final pass of zeros. Remember the caveat above. 5. **Zero the free space** — Write a file of zeros until the disk is full, flush it, and delete it, as in the code block. The time depends on the disk size: 20 GB NVMe on Ember, 40 GB NVMe on Dusk, 80 GB NVMe on Gloam. 6. **Ask for a reinstall in the dashboard** — Request a reinstall of a fresh image: Reboots and reinstalls are requested from the dashboard and carried out by the team; a reinstall erases the disk. Do this last, once your copy is safe. The images offered are Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10. 7. **Stop the renewal** — Turn off auto-renew in the dashboard, or leave the balance below the renewal price. Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. *Shred secrets and zero the free space* ```bash # Secret files: one random pass, a final pass of zeros, verbose sudo shred -n 1 -z -v /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key /root/.ssh/authorized_keys # Free space: fill with zeros until the disk is full, flush, delete sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/zero.fill bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync sudo sync sudo rm /zero.fill ``` > **A full disk is expected** dd stops with a “No space left on device” message when the disk is full. That message is the normal end of the step, not a failure. Remove the fill file straight away so services can write again. ## Should you use wipefs or blkdiscard on a VPS? Usually not, because both act on whole devices and your VPS runs from its only disk. wipefs removes signatures only: the man page says it does not erase the filesystem or any other data, so it is not a data wipe. blkdiscard destroys the data of the region it is given and has a zero-fill mode, -z, and a secure mode, -s, that needs support from the device; the man page does not say that a plain discard guarantees erasure. They have a place if you attach or create a second block device or a separate swap partition, which you can clear after unmounting it. Do not point either tool at the disk you booted from while the system runs. ## What happens to the disk after you stop paying? The disk is kept for a while and then wiped. Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. Your balance does not expire: Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 42 of the 49 entries were active when checked. Providers come and go, so do your own wipe rather than rely on a provider’s clean-up. The refund rules are on [the refunds page](https://gloamport.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy"); the rules for a short outage are in the same place. If you intend to come back, keep a plan with a term that suits you: $5.25 a month for Dusk on the 12-month term, or $10.50 for a single month. What happens to the disk when a term ends without renewal is set out on [How does a Gloamport VPS order work, and what rules apply?](https://gloamport.com/how-it-works/ "How does a Gloamport VPS order work, and what rules apply?"). **In summary** - You can wipe your virtual disk; you cannot reach the host storage under it. - Copy out your data first: no plan includes backups. - Revoke keys and tokens at the service, not only on the disk. - shred -n 1 -z -v for secret files; dd from /dev/zero for the free space. - wipefs removes signatures only and does not erase data. - A reinstall from the dashboard erases the disk; an expired VPS is kept 7 days, then wiped. - Disk encryption from the start is the strongest protection. ## Wiping a VPS: common questions ### Is shred enough on a VPS? It is a good step for secret files, but the shred manual assumes in-place overwrites, which many platforms do not do. Combine it with a free-space fill and a reinstall, and encrypt the disk next time. ### How long does the zero fill take? It depends on the write speed of the virtual disk and its size. Dusk has 40 GB NVMe; dd with status=progress shows the pace so you can estimate the rest. ### Does a reinstall wipe everything? Gloamport states that a reinstall erases the disk. It does not say how, so keep your own wipe steps if the contents are sensitive. ### Do I need to delete the VPS myself? No. When the balance cannot cover a renewal the VPS stops at the end of its term, and the disk is wiped after 7 days. Turn auto-renew off if you want it to stop sooner than a top-up would. ### Should I wipe before reinstalling? It is optional. A reinstall already erases the disk, so the free-space fill matters most if you stop paying without reinstalling. ## Sources 1.

You top up a crypto balance, a person builds the Linux VPS within 1 hour of the confirmed payment, and root signs in over SSH. DomaineGoat LLC runs it from Panama under Panamanian law and keeps only what billing needs. ## From the three fields to root login 1. **Top up your balance in crypto** — Choose a plan, a term and a city at checkout, then send BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR: the top-up equals the price of that order. No name, no card, no email needed. Minimum top-up $25. 2. **The blockchain confirms it** — Once the network has confirmed the transaction and we have matched it in our own wallet, the amount lands on your balance. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min. 3. **A person builds your VPS** (within 1 h) — A member of the team installs the image you chose in the city you picked and hands the VPS over minutes after the payment is confirmed, 1 hour at most. Locations: Reykjavik, Bucharest, Amsterdam. 4. **Root access, from your dashboard** — The IP address of the VPS appears in your dashboard. Root signs in with your SSH key, or with the temporary password shown next to it if you gave no key. `ssh root@` ## The short version | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What an order asks | An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process | | Where payments go | Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction | | What each coin reveals | Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when | | Law | Gloamport is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and Panamanian law is the law it answers to. Each datacenter is also bound by the law of the country where it stands | | Copyright notices | A DMCA notice or another foreign copyright claim is handled under Panamanian law: on its own it leads to no action.

An order is three fields long. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, only 6 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts let a customer sign up without an email address; the others ask for one, and 13 also ask for a full name. Why some hosts insist on identity documents is explained on [What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-kyc-in-vps-hosting/ "What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?"). ## Where does my payment go, and what does it reveal? Your payment goes straight to a wallet address that Gloamport holds. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. The wallet-side steps are on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## Who builds the VPS, and how long does it take? A person on the team builds every VPS by hand. A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. It takes 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. Each VPS is a full KVM machine on NVMe storage with one IPv4 and an IPv6 /64, running the Linux image you picked: Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10. ## Do I need an SSH key, and what can I do from the dashboard? An SSH key is optional but strongly advised. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. If you have never made one, [How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-generate-an-ssh-key/ "How do I generate an SSH key for my VPS?") shows the one command it takes. Reboots and reinstalls are requested from the dashboard and carried out by the team; a reinstall erases the disk. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. ## Which law applies to Gloamport, and what happens to a copyright notice? Panamanian law is the law Gloamport answers to. Gloamport is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and Panamanian law is the law it answers to. Each datacenter is also bound by the law of the country where it stands. A DMCA notice or another foreign copyright claim is handled under Panamanian law: on its own it leads to no action. Only Panamanian law and an order of a Panamanian court bind us. Complaints are read against Panamanian law and our acceptable-use rules. Spam, phishing, malware, botnet control, attacks of any kind and child sexual abuse material are banned outright: a VPS used for them is suspended. ## What does Gloamport keep, and what does it never keep? We keep what billing and running a VPS need, and nothing about how you use it. No connection logs and no traffic logs are kept, and no IP address of a visitor or a customer is stored, on this website, in the dashboard or on the servers. What we hold is only what billing and running a VPS need: the account number, and an email if you added one; each top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and for each VPS its plan, term, city, image, SSH public key, IP addresses and dates, plus the temporary root password set when no key was given, which stops working once you change it. The network equipment of each datacenter belongs to the datacenter. Records are handed over only on an order of a Panamanian court. ## Are Tor relays, onion sites and mail servers allowed? Tor is allowed in every form. Tor relays may run on any plan, exit relays included, and so may bridges and onion services. The setup is on [How do I run a Tor relay on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-run-a-tor-relay-on-a-vps/ "How do I run a Tor relay on a VPS?") and [How do I host an onion site on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-host-an-onion-site/ "How do I host an onion site on a VPS?"). Mail is the exception: Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. ## What is never allowed on a Gloamport VPS? The banned uses are written out, and a VPS used for them is suspended. Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. Cryptocurrency mining is not allowed on any plan. Running a node that only validates a blockchain is not mining. People and companies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and from the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot use the service. Accounts are for people aged 18 or over. ## What happens when a term ends? A VPS renews from your balance for the same term, or stops when the term ends; its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. The renewal rules are on the pricing page, and days lost to an outage go back to your balance under the refund policy. ## How Gloamport works: common questions ### Can Gloamport see what I run on my VPS? We do not watch what runs inside a VPS and keep no traffic logs. A KVM host can technically read the memory of the machines it runs, which is why sensitive data deserves encryption inside the VPS; the [Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-encrypt-a-vps-disk-with-luks/ "Can I encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS?") guide explains the limits. ### Who can obtain my records? Only a Panamanian court, by an order. The records are the ones listed above: account number, optional email, payments and VPS details. ### Does a foreign complaint shut my VPS down? A foreign copyright notice on its own leads to no action. A report of a banned use (spam, phishing, malware, attacks, abuse material) does, once it is checked. ### Is the support team able to restore a lost account number? Only if an email address is on the account. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. ### How do I reach a person? By email at support@gloamport.com. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your root password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. --- Gloamport: Gloamport is a VPS provider that sells Linux KVM servers with no KYC, ordered with an account number and paid in crypto, Monero first; it is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a Panama-registered company. An order asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address: no name, no postal address, no phone and no identity document. On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # How much does a no-KYC VPS cost in 2026? > A no-KYC VPS has a median of $10.55 a month at 1 vCPU / 1 GB. Gloamport: $3.74 a month on 12 months, $7.48 a month on 3 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/how-much-does-a-no-kyc-vps-cost/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Prices at eight sizes, from the survey of 10 November 2026 and from Gloamport’s own grid, with the billing term spelled out. **Quick answer — How much does a no-KYC VPS cost in 2026?** In the survey of 10 November 2026, a no-KYC VPS has a median of $10.55 a month at 1 vCPU / 1 GB and $18.91 at 1 vCPU / 2 GB. Gloamport sells Ember at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term and Dusk at $5.25; on 3 months, their minimum term, they cost $7.48 and $10.50 a month. ## How much does each Gloamport plan cost for 1, 3, 6 and 12 months? | Plan | Specs | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months | Per month on 12 months | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic | Not sold (3 months minimum) | $22.44 | $35.90 | $44.88 | $3.74 | | Dusk | 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic | Not sold (3 months minimum) | $31.50 | $50.40 | $63.00 | $5.25 | | Gloam | 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, 4 TB traffic | $16.50 | $49.50 | $79.20 | $99.00 | $8.25 | | Night | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB NVMe, 8 TB traffic | $27.00 | $81.00 | $129.60 | $162.00 | $13.50 | | Aurora | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 320 GB NVMe, 16 TB traffic | $41.24 | $123.72 | $197.95 | $247.44 | $20.62 | | Halo | 12 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 320 GB NVMe, 24 TB traffic | $51.74 | $155.22 | $248.35 | $310.44 | $25.87 | | Nebula | 16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 320 GB NVMe, 32 TB traffic | $84.08 | $252.24 | $403.58 | $504.48 | $42.04 | | Zenith | 32 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, 500 GB NVMe, 64 TB traffic | $232.50 | $697.50 | $1,116.00 | $1,395.00 | $116.25 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard. ## How do Gloamport prices compare with the survey? | Gloamport plan | Per month on 1 or 3 months | Per month on 12 months | Reference plan | Reference per month | Survey median per month | Hosts with a comparable plan | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | $7.48 | $3.74 | HostSailor Mini Sailor (1 vCPU / 1 GB / 30 GB NVMe) | $4.99 | $10.55 | 32 hosts | | Dusk | $10.50 | $5.25 | VSYS Host VS-NVME1-2 (1 vCPU / 2 GB / 40 GB NVMe) | $7.00 | $18.91 | 32 hosts | | Gloam | $16.50 | $8.25 | VSYS Host VS-NVME2-4 (2 vCPU / 4 GB / 80 GB NVMe) | $11.00 | $31.29 | 29 hosts | | Night | $27.00 | $13.50 | VSYS Host VS-NVME4-8 (4 vCPU / 8 GB / 160 GB NVMe) | $18.00 | $47.29 | 19 hosts | | Aurora | $41.24 | $20.62 | AliasVPS Pro (8 vCPU / 24 GB / 400 GB NVMe) | $27.50 | $107.65 | 13 hosts | | Halo | $51.74 | $25.87 | AliasVPS Scale (12 vCPU / 32 GB / 640 GB NVMe) | $34.50 | $143.54 | 9 hosts | | Nebula | $84.08 | $42.04 | Servers.Guru 10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB (16 vCPU / 32 GB / 320 GB NVMe) | €49.99 ($56.06) | $152.50 | 6 hosts | | Zenith | $232.50 | $116.25 | Bit.Hosting BitInfinity (32 vCPU / 64 GB / 500 GB NVMe) | $155.00 | $155.00 | 1 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* A reference plan has at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, is billed one month at a time and is not sold out. The median is taken over each host’s smallest comparable plan. 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026). Ember and Dusk are sold for 3 months at least. Zenith's reference is a single host. ## What is the median price of a no-KYC VPS? It rises from $10.55 to $155.00 a month across the eight sizes. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, the median of each host’s smallest comparable plan is $10.55 at 1 vCPU / 1 GB / 20 GB, $18.91 at 1 / 2 GB / 40 GB, $31.29 at 2 / 4 GB / 80 GB, $47.29 at 4 / 8 GB / 160 GB $107.65 at 8 / 16 GB / 320 GB, $143.54 at 12 / 32 GB / 320 GB, $152.50 at 16 / 32 GB / 320 GB and $155.00 at 32 / 64 GB / 500 GB. The pool is the 38 hosts that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document. 32 of them have a comparable plan at the smallest size and 1 at the largest. ## Where is the least expensive no-KYC VPS in the survey? At the smallest size it is HostSailor Mini Sailor at $4.99 a month, with VSYS Host at $5.00 just behind. At 1 vCPU / 2 GB it is VSYS Host at $7.00. Gloamport does not have the least expensive plan at every size. On the 12-month term, each plan costs at least 25% less than a named reference plan read on 10 November 2026: Ember against HostSailor “Mini Sailor” at $4.99 a month; Dusk against VSYS Host “VS-NVME1-2” at $7.00 a month; Gloam against VSYS Host “VS-NVME2-4” at $11.00 a month; Night against VSYS Host “VS-NVME4-8” at $18.00 a month; Aurora against AliasVPS “Pro” at $27.50 a month; Halo against AliasVPS “Scale” at $34.50 a month; Nebula against Servers.Guru “10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB” at €49.99 ($56.06) a month; Zenith against Bit.Hosting “BitInfinity” at $155.00 a month. A reference is a plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, billed one month at a time and not sold out, at one of the 38 VPS hosts in our survey that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document; for each size it is the one with the smallest monthly price, and two of our plans never share one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Euro prices use 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026); the 1-month price is the 12-month monthly price divided by 0.5. On 1 or 3 months, Gloamport costs more than the reference at every size, because the discount comes from the term: 50% off on 12 months. Zenith's reference rests on a single host of the survey. ## How does the billing term change the price? A longer term is cheaper per month: 1 and 3 months cost the monthly price, 6 months take 20% off and 12 months take 50% off. Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months and $63.00 for 12 months, which is $5.25 a month. The survey compares monthly plans, so the fair match for the 12-month price is a different question: how much you want to pay in advance. Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. ## What else can add to the price of a VPS? At Gloamport, nothing on the order. No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. What is not included is also plain. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. No DDoS protection is sold or promised beyond the standard filtering of the datacenter network. No free trial: the smallest plan, Ember, is sold for 3 months at least, $22.44, or $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. A pre-paid balance in crypto also means the amount you owe is the amount in dollars at checkout, whatever coin you pick. ## Which coin should I pay with? The dollar price is the same in every coin. The choice is about what the ledger shows afterwards. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. Steps for the Monero route are on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?").

In the survey the smallest comparable plan was $4.99 a month at HostSailor, and the host asks for an email. At Gloamport, Ember is $3.74 a month on 12 months. ### Is a no-KYC VPS more expensive than a normal VPS? The survey compares only hosts that take crypto and do not ask every customer for ID, so it does not price normal VPS hosts. Inside that pool the median at 1 vCPU / 2 GB is $18.91 a month. ### Are there extra fees for crypto payments? Gloamport adds none. No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. The network fee for sending a transaction is set by the network, not by us. ### Does the price include an IPv4 address? Yes. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. ### Can I get a refund if I cancel? If a VPS cannot be built, or goes down and support cannot restore it, each day it was out of service goes back to your balance. The balance never expires. Top-ups are not paid back out unless a law requires it, except the part paid only to reach the minimum top-up, which is returned on request in USDT or USDC within 30 days of payment if it is still unspent. ## Sources 1.

Gloamport takes both and credits XMR after 10 confirmations. - URL: https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) **Quick answer — Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?** Monero is more private than Bitcoin for paying a VPS: a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount of a Monero payment, while every Bitcoin payment is public. Gloamport accepts both. A Monero payment is credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes, and 26 of 42 surveyed hosts take XMR. ## How do Monero and Bitcoin compare for a VPS payment? | Criterion | Bitcoin (BTC) | Monero (XMR) | | --- | --- | --- | | Sender on a public explorer | Visible: every input address is public | Hidden by ring signatures | | Receiver on a public explorer | Visible: the receiving address is public | Hidden: each payment goes to a one-time address | | Amount on a public explorer | Visible | Hidden by RingCT | | Address history | Anyone can read the full history of an address, and a reused address carries all of it | No readable history per address | | Link between your account and the payment at the host | Kept in the host's billing records | Kept in the host's billing records | | Accepted by the VPS hosts in Gloamport's survey | Not counted separately in the survey | 26 of 42 active hosts; 16 do not | | Lightning | Offered by 4 surveyed hosts | Not applicable | | Paying Gloamport | Accepted, from your own wallet | Accepted; credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Ledger facts come from the bitcoin.org and getmonero.org pages listed under Sources. Host counts come from Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026. ## What does a Bitcoin payment reveal about you? A Bitcoin payment reveals the sending address, the receiving address and the amount to anyone who opens a block explorer. The bitcoin.org privacy page states that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable and permanently stored, and that anyone can see the balance and all transactions of any address. The address is not a name. It becomes one when it is linked to you, and the same page notes that people usually reveal their identity when they receive goods or services. A VPS order is such a moment: the host knows which address paid for which server, and the blockchain keeps that record for good. The page also warns that data which is hard to trace today may be easy to trace later, because the ledger is permanent. Two habits narrow the exposure: pay from a wallet you control rather than from a platform account that checked your identity, and never reuse an address. Neither habit hides the amount or the receiving address. For the steps, read [How do I buy a VPS with Bitcoin?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-bitcoin/ "How do I buy a VPS with Bitcoin?"). ## What does a Monero payment hide, and how? A Monero payment hides the sender, the receiver and the amount from the public ledger by default. The getmonero.org introduction names three mechanisms for this: ring signatures, one-time addresses and RingCT. - **Ring signatures** hide which member of a group produced a signature, so an outside observer cannot tell which possible signer in the ring belongs to your account. - **One-time addresses** are random addresses created for every transaction on the recipient's behalf. A recipient publishes one address, and each payment lands at a different one that cannot be linked back to it. - **RingCT** hides the amounts of transactions. A Monero payment therefore leaves a public explorer with nothing to read about who paid whom or how much. The cost is practical, not technical: fewer hosts take XMR, and you need a Monero wallet. ## Does Monero hide the payment from the host? No: Monero keeps a payment off the public ledger, but the host that receives it still knows. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. The host has to see the payment to credit it. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. The owner of a wallet can show incoming payments with a view key, which is how a host confirms a payment that no explorer displays. [What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-a-monero-view-key/ "What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?") covers what that key can and cannot see. So the honest comparison has two layers. Against strangers reading the chain, Monero wins clearly. Against the host itself, the two coins are equal, and the real protection is what the host asks for before it takes the payment. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. ## How many VPS hosts take Monero compared with Bitcoin? Monero is accepted by a majority of surveyed hosts, but not all of them. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of the 42 active hosts accept Monero (62%), 16 do not, and 4 accept Lightning. The full list, with each host's other payment terms, is in [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). The survey did not count Bitcoin separately, so it gives no share for it. ## When is Bitcoin the better choice for a VPS payment? Bitcoin is the better choice when you already hold it and the payment does not need to stay off the public record. Converting into Monero first costs an extra step and, usually, an extra fee, and it only helps if the Bitcoin and the Monero are not tied to the same identity on the platform where you convert. If your concern is that a stranger could connect your server to your wallet, pay in Monero. If it is only that you need a server today and hold Bitcoin, pay in Bitcoin from a fresh address you control. A Dusk plan (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic) costs $5.25 a month on the 12-month term whichever coin you send, because prices are set in dollars. The dollar price does not change with the coin. To check which hosts also run without an ID document, see [Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?](https://gloamport.com/vps-no-kyc/ "Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?"). ## Which coin should you pick, in one sentence each? Monero is the coin to pick when you want a payment that a public explorer cannot read. Bitcoin is the coin to pick when convenience matters more than a hidden ledger entry and you pay from a wallet you control. Gloamport is a no-KYC VPS host that accepts both, and in either case it keeps the link between your account number and the payment, as stated above. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Monero really more private than Bitcoin for a VPS? Yes, on the public ledger: Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount by default, while Bitcoin shows all three. At the host, both coins are recorded in billing, so the gain is against outside observers. ### Can someone see my Gloamport payment on a block explorer? A Bitcoin payment appears with its addresses and amount. A Monero payment appears without a readable sender or amount. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. ### Why do some VPS hosts refuse Monero? The survey records that 16 of 42 active hosts do not list it, and it does not record their reasons. A Monero payment cannot be checked on a public explorer, so a host that takes it needs its own wallet to verify it. ### Does paying in Monero make my VPS impossible to link to me? No. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. The payment is private from the public chain, not from your own account records. ### Does Gloamport accept Lightning? No. Gloamport takes on-chain coins only; 4 hosts in the survey accept Lightning. **In summary** - Every Bitcoin payment is public: addresses, amounts and history (bitcoin.org). - Monero hides sender, receiver and amount by default with ring signatures, one-time addresses and RingCT (getmonero.org). - The host still sees the payment: Monero does not erase the link between your account and your orders. - 26 of 42 active hosts take Monero in the survey of 10 November 2026. - Gloamport accepts Monero and Bitcoin at the same dollar prices; Monero is credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. - Pay Bitcoin only from a wallet you control and never reuse an address. ## Sources 1.

Njalla sells six VPS plans in Sweden from €15 a month. Both take Monero; Njalla signs you up with an email or XMPP address, Gloamport with an account number. ## How do Njalla and Gloamport compare as a VPS host? | Criterion | Njalla | Gloamport | | --- | --- | --- | | Plans | Six, VPS 15 to VPS 90, 1 to 6 vCPU | Eight, Ember to Zenith, 1 to 32 vCPU | | Price per month | €15 to €90 ($16.82 to $100.93), billed monthly | $7.48 to $232.50 on 1 or 3 months; 6 months cost 20% less and 12 months 50% less | | Locations | Sweden, site not disclosed | Reykjavik, Bucharest, Amsterdam, same price | | Sign-up | Email or XMPP address, and a password | A plan, a coin and an optional email; the account is a random number | | Monero | Yes | Yes | | Other coins | BTC, LTC, ETH; PayPal also accepted | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR | | Own onion address | Yes | No | | Virtualization | Incus with a Ceph backend; whether it is a VM or a container, and KVM, are not stated | KVM | | Network | Host uplink 10 Gbit/s; port per VPS not stated | 1 Gbit/s port, one IPv4 and an IPv6 /64 | | Outgoing mail | Outgoing SMTP blocked | Port 25 closed; ports 465 and 587 open | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Njalla facts are from the pages listed under Sources, read on 10 November 2026. Euro prices at 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD. ## What does Njalla offer for a VPS? Njalla sells six VPS plans from one location in Sweden, billed monthly with an IPv4 address and IPv6 included. The plans run in one-core steps: VPS 15 has 1 vCPU, 1.5 GB of RAM and 15 GB of disk for €15, and VPS 90 has 6 vCPU, 9 GB and 90 GB for €90. Njalla takes Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Ethereum and PayPal. Its sign-up form asks for an email or an XMPP address and a password, and its site has an onion address. ## Where is Njalla the better choice? Njalla is the better choice if you want an onion address for the host itself and a plan ladder in single-core steps. Its site is reachable over Tor, which Gloamport's is not. Its six plans rise one core at a time from 1 to 6 vCPU, where Gloamport's five go 1, 1, 2, 4 and 8. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, Njalla is one of 10 hosts of 42 with an onion address, and one of 6 that do not require an email. For nine hosts scored on the same checks, see [What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?](https://gloamport.com/best-no-kyc-vps/ "What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?"). ## Where is Gloamport the better choice? Gloamport is the better choice if price, location choice and a stated KVM platform matter more than an onion address. A Gloamport plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk costs less each month than the matching Njalla plan (see the table below), and the same price applies in three cities. The platform is full KVM with a 1 Gbit/s port, both stated on the plan page. Gloamport also accepts USDT, USDC and SOL.

There is no import tool: you order a new VPS, copy your data over SSH and cancel the old plan when you are done. Pick a plan and a coin, send the exact amount, and wait for the confirmations. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. If you want a sign-up with no email, [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?") lists every host that offers one. ## Njalla alternative: common questions ### Does Njalla accept Monero for a VPS? Yes. Njalla accepts Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero and Ethereum, and PayPal, as stated on its FAQ page. ### Does Njalla require an email address? Its sign-up form asks for an email or an XMPP address and a password. Gloamport counts Njalla among the six hosts of its survey that do not require an email. ### Is Gloamport cheaper than Njalla? Plan for plan, on 1 or 3 months, a Gloamport plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk costs less than the matching Njalla plan.

No. Njalla publishes an onion address for its site; Gloamport does not. ### Where are Njalla servers located? Njalla lists Sweden and does not disclose the site. Gloamport has Reykjavik, Bucharest and Amsterdam. **In summary** - Njalla sells six VPS plans in Sweden, €15 to €90 a month. - Gloamport sells eight plans, from $7.48 to $232.50 a month, in three cities. - Both accept Monero; Njalla signs up with an email or XMPP address, Gloamport with an account number. - Njalla has an onion address and a one-core plan ladder; Gloamport has neither. - Gloamport states KVM and a 1 Gbit/s port; Njalla states a 10 Gbit/s host uplink. - Njalla blocks outgoing SMTP; Gloamport closes port 25. ## Sources 1.

Each price is a one-month list price of a comparable plan, read on the host's own pricing page on 10 November 2026. A plan is comparable when it has at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk as the size, an IPv4 address included, monthly billing and no "sold out" label. Only hosts that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document count. 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026). According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 38 hosts take crypto without asking every customer for an ID document, and 32 of them list a comparable plan at the smallest size. ## Why is the median so far above the least expensive plan? The median is 2.1 to 4.2 times the least expensive plan at every size but the largest, where a single host sets both. At 1 vCPU, 1 GB and 20 GB the median is $10.55 against $4.99 for the least expensive plan; at 8 vCPU, 16 GB and 320 GB it is $107.65 against $27.50.

The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min ## What do 6 and 12-month terms save? Paying for 6 months takes 20% off the monthly price and 12 months takes 50% off, while 1 and 3 months cost the monthly price. Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard. On Gloam, 1 month costs $16.50; 3 months cost $49.50 ($16.50 a month), 6 months $79.20 ($13.20 a month) and 12 months $99.00 ($8.25 a month). A longer term also means fewer payments, and fewer transactions to link to one account. Plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least: Ember starts at $22.44 for 3 months, Dusk starts at $31.50 for 3 months. ## Which named plan is each price compared with? Each size has one reference: the comparable plan with the smallest monthly price in Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, among 38 VPS hosts that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document. | Plan | Our 12-month price a month | Reference plan | Its specs | Its monthly price | Hosts compared | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | $3.74 | HostSailor Mini Sailor | 1 vCPU / 1 GB / 30 GB NVMe | $4.99 | 32 | | Dusk | $5.25 | VSYS Host VS-NVME1-2 | 1 vCPU / 2 GB / 40 GB NVMe | $7.00 | 32 | | Gloam | $8.25 | VSYS Host VS-NVME2-4 | 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 80 GB NVMe | $11.00 | 29 | | Night | $13.50 | VSYS Host VS-NVME4-8 | 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 160 GB NVMe | $18.00 | 19 | | Aurora | $20.62 | AliasVPS Pro | 8 vCPU / 24 GB / 400 GB NVMe | $27.50 | 13 | | Halo | $25.87 | AliasVPS Scale | 12 vCPU / 32 GB / 640 GB NVMe | $34.50 | 9 | | Nebula | $42.04 | Servers.Guru 10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB | 16 vCPU / 32 GB / 320 GB NVMe | €49.99 ($56.06) | 6 | | Zenith | $116.25 | Bit.Hosting BitInfinity | 32 vCPU / 64 GB / 500 GB NVMe | $155.00 | 1 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* ## How is the Gloamport price set? Every price follows one written rule, checked against a dated survey. On the 12-month term, each plan costs at least 25% less than a named reference plan read on 10 November 2026: Ember against HostSailor “Mini Sailor” at $4.99 a month; Dusk against VSYS Host “VS-NVME1-2” at $7.00 a month; Gloam against VSYS Host “VS-NVME2-4” at $11.00 a month; Night against VSYS Host “VS-NVME4-8” at $18.00 a month; Aurora against AliasVPS “Pro” at $27.50 a month; Halo against AliasVPS “Scale” at $34.50 a month; Nebula against Servers.Guru “10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB” at €49.99 ($56.06) a month; Zenith against Bit.Hosting “BitInfinity” at $155.00 a month. A reference is a plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, billed one month at a time and not sold out, at one of the 38 VPS hosts in our survey that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document; for each size it is the one with the smallest monthly price, and two of our plans never share one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Euro prices use 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026); the 1-month price is the 12-month monthly price divided by 0.5. The rule cuts both ways. On the 12-month term each plan sits 25% under its reference; on 1 or 3 months it sits above it, because the 12-month price is the one the rule anchors. Zenith's reference rests on a single host of the survey (Bit.Hosting), so it is one data point, not a median. Over the whole survey the median monthly price of a 2 vCPU / 4 GB / 80 GB VPS was $31.29, across 29 hosts. The host-by-host prices are on [What does a no-KYC VPS cost per month in November 2026?](https://gloamport.com/no-kyc-vps-price-index/ "What does a no-KYC VPS cost per month in November 2026?"), and the cost question in plain words is on [How much does a no-KYC VPS cost in 2026?](https://gloamport.com/how-much-does-a-no-kyc-vps-cost/ "How much does a no-KYC VPS cost in 2026?"). ## What costs nothing extra, and what is left out? The plan price covers the server, its IPv4 and IPv6, its traffic and root access. No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. Left out, and said so before you pay: No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. No DDoS protection is sold or promised beyond the standard filtering of the datacenter network. Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. No free trial: the smallest plan, Ember, is sold for 3 months at least, $22.44, or $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. To see what an order involves from the wallet side, read [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## Pricing questions ### What happens when my term ends? Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. Nothing renews if the balance is empty. ### Can I get my money back? If a VPS cannot be built, or goes down and support cannot restore it, each day it was out of service goes back to your balance. The balance never expires. Top-ups are not paid back out unless a law requires it, except the part paid only to reach the minimum top-up, which is returned on request in USDT or USDC within 30 days of payment if it is still unspent. The details are on the refund policy page. ### Why is the monthly price above the reference plan? The rule anchors the 12-month price at least 25% under the reference; the 1-month price is that figure divided by 0.5, and 3 months cost the same monthly price. Pay for 12 months and every plan sits 25% under its reference. ### Do I pay in dollars or in crypto? Prices are in US dollars, and you pay their value in crypto: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. The checkout locks the amount for a short time while you send it. ## Sources 1. [HostSailor KVM VPS plans](https://hostsailor.com/kvm-vps) — HostSailor (checked 2026-11-10) 2.

An order asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address: no name, no postal address, no phone and no identity document. On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # What makes a VPS privacy-focused? > A privacy-focused VPS asks for little at signup and runs its own wallet. 36 of 42 surveyed hosts require an email; Gloamport does not. - URL: https://gloamport.com/privacy-focused-vps/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Seven checks anyone can run on a host’s public pages. No score, no badge: each one is a fact you can verify. **Quick answer — What makes a VPS privacy-focused?** A privacy-focused VPS asks for little at signup, takes payment through the host’s own wallet and gives you root on your own KVM server. Gloamport asks for no name, address, phone number or ID document, and its email is optional. In Gloamport’s survey, 36 of 42 active crypto hosts require one. ## Which seven checks make a VPS privacy-focused? | Check | Survey of 10 November 2026 (42 active hosts) | Gloamport | | --- | --- | --- | | Email at signup | 36 require it; 6 have none or an optional one | Optional | | Name, address or phone number | Name: 13; address: 9; phone: 5 | None of the three | | Identity document | None: 28; in some cases: 11; always: 1 | None, now or later | | Who handles the payment | Own gateway: 9; third party: 14; not stated: 19 | Own wallets, no third-party processor | | Monero accepted | 26 hosts | Yes, first among the coins | | Official .onion address | 10 hosts | None claimed on this page | | Root access on your own server | Varies by plan; read the plan page | Root over SSH on full KVM | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Survey counts exclude Gloamport. A host can pass a check on one plan and not on another. ## What should signup ask for on a privacy-focused VPS? As little as the host can run the service on. A plan, a way to pay and a way to sign in are enough. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 13 of 42 active hosts ask for a full name, 9 for a postal address, 5 for a phone number and 36 for an email. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. ## Does a privacy-focused VPS need to skip the ID check? It should, and it should say so in its terms as well as on its home page. 28 hosts state that no identity document is asked, and 11 keep the right to ask in some cases. VSYS Host is an example of the second group: its home page says you can register without KYC, and its terms reserve the right to ask for documents proving you own the paying account. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. ## Who should see the payment on a privacy-focused VPS? Only the host. A payment that passes through a third-party processor shows your order to one more company. In the survey, 14 hosts name a third-party processor such as CoinPayments, BitPay or CoinGate, and 19 do not say. NiceVPS states that it uses no third-party processors, and Servury names its own self-hosted nodes. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. The coin matters too. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. ## Why does an onion address count? An official .onion address lets a visitor reach the host without leaving the Tor network. 10 of 42 hosts publish one, among them Njalla and MyNymBox. It is a signal about how a host treats visitors, not a requirement for a good VPS. What an onion service is, and how it works, is explained in [What is an onion service, and how does it work?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-an-onion-service/ "What is an onion service, and how does it work?"). ## Why does root access on a KVM server matter? Because you decide what runs on the server. Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. A shared account or a container you cannot configure limits what you can lock down. Disk encryption, your own firewall rules and your own kernel are all yours on a full KVM server. ## Where does Gloamport fall short? Gloamport is not private in every respect, and these are the limits. - Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. - Lightning is not accepted; 4 hosts in the survey take it. - No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. - Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. - Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows. For email-free signup the comparison is on [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?"), and a wider ranking is on [What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?](https://gloamport.com/best-no-kyc-vps/ "What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?"). ## How much does a privacy-focused VPS cost at Gloamport? Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). | Plan | Quantity | 30 days | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | Ember · 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM | — | $22.44 | $35.90 (−20%) | $44.88 (−50%) | | Dusk | Dusk · 1 vCPU · 2 GB RAM | — | $31.50 | $50.40 (−20%) | $63 (−50%) | | Gloam | Gloam · 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM | $16.50 | $49.50 | $79.20 (−20%) | $99 (−50%) | | Night | Night · 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM | $27 | $81 | $129.60 (−20%) | $162 (−50%) | | Aurora | Aurora · 8 vCPU · 16 GB RAM | $41.24 | $123.72 | $197.95 (−20%) | $247.44 (−50%) | | Halo | Halo · 12 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $51.74 | $155.22 | $248.35 (−20%) | $310.44 (−50%) | | Nebula | Nebula · 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $84.08 | $252.24 | $403.58 (−20%) | $504.48 (−50%) | | Zenith | Zenith · 32 vCPU · 64 GB RAM | $232.50 | $697.50 | $1,116 (−20%) | $1,395 (−50%) | In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min **In summary** - A privacy-focused VPS asks for little at signup: Gloamport asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email. - 36 of 42 active hosts require an email address. - 28 hosts state that no identity document is asked; 11 ask in some cases. - The payment should reach the host directly: 14 hosts name a third-party processor. - 26 hosts accept Monero; 10 publish an .onion address. - Root on a full KVM server lets you set up your own encryption and firewall. - No host removes every link: Gloamport still links your account, orders and VPS IP addresses. ## Common questions ### What is the most important privacy check for a VPS? The signup form and the ID rule together. If a host asks for a name, an address and an ID document, no later setting can remove them. ### Is a VPS with Monero payment private? The payment is off the public ledger. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. ### Does an .onion address make a VPS host more private? It shows that the host runs a service for Tor visitors. It does not change what the host asks at signup or how it handles payments. ### Should I choose a host by country? Read what the host asks and how it takes payment first. Gloamport lets you pick Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price. ### Can I verify these checks myself? Yes. Each one is on the host’s public signup, payment and terms pages, and the sources below link to the pages read on 10 November 2026. ## Sources 1.

It keeps no connection logs, no traffic logs and no visitor IP addresses. Monero hides a payment from public explorers, yet your account still links your orders and VPS addresses. ## 1. Who is responsible for the data DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, runs Gloamport and decides what is recorded. Gloamport is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and Panamanian law is the law it answers to. Each datacenter is also bound by the law of the country where it stands. Questions about this policy go to support@gloamport.com. ## 2. Logs No connection logs and no traffic logs are kept, and no IP address of a visitor or a customer is stored, on this website, in the dashboard or on the servers. The network equipment of each datacenter belongs to the datacenter and is outside what we operate. ## 3. Records we hold What we hold is only what billing and running a VPS need: the account number, and an email if you added one; each top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and for each VPS its plan, term, city, image, SSH public key, IP addresses and dates, plus the temporary root password set when no key was given, which stops working once you change it. The network equipment of each datacenter belongs to the datacenter. Records are handed over only on an order of a Panamanian court. - **Account:** the account number, and the email address if you added one. - **Money:** the amount, coin, network, transaction ID and date of each top-up and each order. - **Each VPS:** plan, term, city, image, SSH public key, IP addresses and dates; and, when you gave no key, the temporary root password, which stops working once you change it. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. ## 4. What we never collect An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. We hold no copy of your disk. No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. ## 5. Cookies and browser storage No analytics and no advertising trackers are used on the website. The dashboard stores its session in your browser so that you stay signed in, and that is its only use of browser storage. ## 6. What each coin reveals Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. A public explorer shows a Bitcoin, USDT or other transparent-ledger payment together with its sender, receiver, amount and date. A Monero payment is not readable that way, which is why we check it in our own wallet with its view key. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. Pay from a wallet you control when the sender matters: coins sent from an exchange account carry the exchange's records of you. More on the choice is in [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## 7. Payment wallets and screening Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. ## 8. The optional email address An email is never required. If you add one, it serves two purposes: sending a forgotten account number back to you, and answering when you write to support. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. ## 9. How the data is used and who sees it Records are used to match payments, to build and renew VPS, to answer support and to apply the [acceptable-use policy](https://gloamport.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). We do not sell them and do not use them for advertising. The datacenter that hosts a VPS sees what its own equipment sees. No payment company receives your order, because no third-party processor is involved. Records are handed over only on an order of a Panamanian court. ## 10. How long records are kept Account and payment records stay while the account exists, because the balance never expires. A VPS record is kept for the life of the VPS. When a VPS ends unpaid, its disk is wiped after 7 days, as the [terms](https://gloamport.com/terms/ "Terms of Service") say. A temporary root password stops working as soon as you change it. ## 11. Your choices - Add an email to the account whenever you like, or never. - Change the root password or swap your SSH key at any time. - Delete a VPS and its disk is wiped. - Ask for a record to be corrected by writing to support@gloamport.com; support will tell you what can be changed, since payment records tie to transactions that already happened. A person without an email on file cannot be identified by support, so a request needs to show control of the account, for example by describing a VPS on it. ## 12. Security Your own security matters as much as ours: keep the account number secret, use an SSH key rather than a password, and Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your root password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. ## 13. Age Accounts are for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly keep data about anyone younger. ## 14. Changes and contact A change to this policy is dated at the top and applies from that day. For privacy questions write to support@gloamport.com; A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules. --- Gloamport: Gloamport is a VPS provider that sells Linux KVM servers with no KYC, ordered with an account number and paid in crypto, Monero first; it is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a Panama-registered company.

On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # Refund Policy > When Gloamport returns money to your balance: days lost to a VPS outage, a VPS that cannot be built, and the part of a top-up that only met the minimum. - URL: https://gloamport.com/refunds/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) What goes back to your balance, what comes back in crypto, and what does not come back at all. **Quick answer — Does Gloamport refund a VPS?** **Gloamport** returns days to your balance when a VPS cannot be built, or goes down and support cannot bring it back: each day out of service is credited, and the balance never expires. Top-ups are not paid back out in crypto unless a law requires it, except the part sent only to reach the minimum top-up, returned on request within 30 days. ## 1. The rule in one paragraph If a VPS cannot be built, or goes down and support cannot restore it, each day it was out of service goes back to your balance. The balance never expires. Top-ups are not paid back out unless a law requires it, except the part paid only to reach the minimum top-up, which is returned on request in USDT or USDC within 30 days of payment if it is still unspent. ## 2. When days return to your balance Two cases qualify: - **The VPS cannot be built.** Nothing is created and the full price of the order stays on your balance. - **The VPS goes down and support cannot restore it.** Each day it was out of service is credited. In both cases the days are added to your balance once support has confirmed the outage. Report it quickly to support@gloamport.com with the IP address of the VPS and the time, in UTC, when the trouble began; the [contact page](https://gloamport.com/contact/ "How can I reach Gloamport support or report abuse?") lists what helps. ## 3. What a day is worth A day is worth the price of the term you paid divided by the number of days in that term: 30 for 1 month, 91 for 3 months, 182 for 6 months and 365 for 12 months. Because a longer term is already discounted, a day on a 12-month term is worth less than a day on a 1-month term. For example, a VPS on a 1-month term of $10.50 that is down for 3 days gets 3 thirtieths of that price back. The price of every term is on the [pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). ## 4. Where a credit goes Credits go to your prepaid balance and are available for any renewal or new VPS. Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. The balance never expires, so there is no deadline to spend it. ## 5. Can money come back in crypto? Mostly no. A top-up is not paid back out unless a law requires it. One exception exists: the part of a top-up paid only to reach the minimum of $25 is returned on request, in USDT or USDC, within 30 days of payment, if it is still unspent. The return is sent to an address you give us. Because Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number, a return in USDT or USDC leaves a public trail on a transparent ledger. ## 6. How to ask Write to support@gloamport.com and name the VPS by its IP address and city, say which case applies, and give the dates. Never put your account number, root password or private SSH key in a message: Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your root password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with SSH keys, reinstalls and firewall rules. ## 7. What does not qualify - Unused days on a VPS you delete yourself, or that you reinstall. - Days left on a VPS suspended for breaking the [acceptable-use policy](https://gloamport.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). - Data lost to a reinstall, a deletion or the end of the 7-day hold; No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. - A change of mind about plan, term or city after the VPS was delivered. - Network fees, and the cost of a payment sent on the wrong network or to a wrong address. - Money from an address on a sanctions list, which is never credited. ## 8. Chargebacks A crypto payment is final once it is confirmed on the blockchain, and there is no card network to reverse it. No card is used at Gloamport, so a refund can only happen under this policy. ## 9. Changes A change to this policy is dated at the top. An order already paid is handled under the version in force on the day of payment. --- Gloamport: Gloamport is a VPS provider that sells Linux KVM servers with no KYC, ordered with an account number and paid in crypto, Monero first; it is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a Panama-registered company.

At Gloamport, an Ember plan runs a WireGuard VPN from $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, in 3 cities. ## How do a self-hosted VPN and a VPN service compare? | Criterion | Self-hosted VPN on a VPS | VPN service | | --- | --- | --- | | Who runs the server | You: root access, your own kernel and firewall rules | The provider | | Who you must trust | The VPS host, which sees your traffic leave its network | The VPN provider, which sees the same, and its stated logging policy | | Exit address | One IPv4 address and one IPv6 /64, used by you alone | Chosen and shared by the provider | | Locations | Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price | Whatever the provider lists | | Setup | Install WireGuard, create keys, write a config file | Install the provider's app | | Upkeep | You update the system and watch the firewall | The provider | | Cost at Gloamport | From $3.74 a month (Ember, 12-month term), or $22.44 for 3 months | A subscription; not compared on this page | | Best for | A fixed address, remote access to your home network, other services on the same server | Switching between many countries without any setup | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Ember is 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic; prices are in dollars. ## What does a self-hosted VPN actually protect? A self-hosted VPN protects the path between your device and your own server. WireGuard, the protocol most people run for this, encapsulates IP packets over UDP, and peers exchange public keys much like SSH keys, according to wireguard.com. Its cryptography uses the Noise protocol framework, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24 and HKDF. After the tunnel, your traffic leaves from the VPS. The sites you visit see the VPS address, not your home address. Your home network provider sees an encrypted tunnel to one server, not the sites behind it. It does not protect you from the VPS host or from the sites you sign in to. The host can see traffic leaving its network, and an account you sign in to still knows who you are. To judge a host, read [What makes a VPS privacy-focused?](https://gloamport.com/privacy-focused-vps/ "What makes a VPS privacy-focused?"). ## What can a VPN service do that your own server cannot? A VPN service gives you many exit locations at once, and a VPS gives you the cities its host has. Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price. A VPS in Reykjavik does not look like it is in Bucharest, and you would rent a second VPS to switch. A service also removes the upkeep. Updating the operating system, watching the firewall and fixing a broken config file become the provider's job, and none of them is yours. If you do not want to run a server, that is a good reason to stay with a service. What a service cannot offer is an address that only you use. On a VPS the IPv4 address and the IPv6 /64 belong to your server alone, which suits remote access and allow-lists at work but gives a site one stable address to recognise. ## Who sees what: the VPS host or the VPN provider? Whichever company runs the exit sees your traffic as it leaves. With a service that is the VPN provider; with a self-hosted VPN it is the VPS host. Moving to your own server changes who you rely on, not whether you rely on someone. The difference is in what you can check. On a VPS you read the host's terms, choose how you pay and decide what runs on the server. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. With a service you rely on its description of its own logging, which you cannot inspect. Payment is the other half. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. For the coin comparison, read [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"). ## How much does a self-hosted VPN cost compared with the market? The smallest plan is enough for a personal tunnel. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, the median 1 vCPU, 1 GB plan across 32 comparable hosts is $10.55 a month, and Ember is $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. Ember carries 1 TB of outgoing traffic and fits A WireGuard VPN for a few devices. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. If you also want to run a private DNS resolver or a small web service on the same server, the Dusk plan (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, 2 TB traffic) is $5.25 a month on 12 months. More hosts at this size are in [Where can I find a cheap VPS with no KYC?](https://gloamport.com/cheap-vps-no-kyc/ "Where can I find a cheap VPS with no KYC?"). ## How do you set up a self-hosted VPN with WireGuard? You install WireGuard, create a key pair on each side and write one config file. On Debian and Ubuntu the package is `wireguard`, and the quickstart on wireguard.com generates a private key and its public key like this: *Generate a WireGuard key pair* ```bash sudo apt install wireguard umask 077 wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey ``` A server running WireGuard "does not even respond at all to an unauthorized client", as the protocol page puts it, so an unknown scanner gets no answer. The complete walk-through, with the server and client config files, is in [How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-a-vps/ "How do I set up WireGuard on a VPS?"). ## Which one should you choose? Choose a self-hosted VPN if you want one fixed address, a tunnel into your home network, or a server that also runs other services. Choose a VPN service if you want to switch countries without setup or you do not want to maintain a server. Gloamport is a no-KYC VPS host: an order asks for a plan, a coin and an optional email, and a WireGuard server is a normal use of any plan. It is not a VPN service, and it does not offer apps or exit locations beyond its three cities. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a self-hosted VPN more private than a VPN service? It is more controllable, not automatically more private. You choose the host and the payment method and no one else shares the server, but the VPS host still sees your traffic leave its network. ### Which Gloamport plan is enough for a WireGuard VPN? Ember is enough for a few devices: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic, from $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. Dusk has twice the memory and storage. ### Can I use a self-hosted VPN to reach my home network? Yes. A WireGuard server on a VPS can link your home network to the internet through a fixed address, including when your home connection sits behind CGNAT. The steps are in [How do I connect my home network to a VPS with WireGuard (behind CGNAT)?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-connect-your-home-network-to-a-vps-with-wireguard/ "How do I connect my home network to a VPS with WireGuard (behind CGNAT)?"). ### Does Gloamport log what I send through my VPN? Gloamport sells servers, not a VPN service, so what runs inside your VPS is yours to configure. What the company records for billing is listed in [How it works](https://gloamport.com/how-it-works/ "How does a Gloamport VPS order work, and what rules apply?"). ### Can I pay for a WireGuard server with Monero? Yes. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. **In summary** - A self-hosted VPN gives you one server, one fixed address and full control; a VPN service gives you many locations and no upkeep. - Either way, the company running the exit sees your traffic leave its network. - WireGuard uses Noise, Curve25519 and ChaCha20 and stays silent to unauthorised clients (wireguard.com). - Ember runs a WireGuard VPN from $3.74 a month on 12 months, in Reykjavik, Bucharest or Amsterdam. - The median comparable 1 vCPU, 1 GB plan in the survey of 10 November 2026 is $10.55 a month. - Paying in Monero hides the payment from the public chain, not from your Gloamport account. ## Sources 1.

An order asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address: no name, no postal address, no phone and no identity document. On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # Terms of Service > The terms on which Gloamport rents a Linux KVM VPS: Panamanian law, account number sign-in, prepaid crypto balance, terms of 1 to 12 months. - URL: https://gloamport.com/terms/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) The contract between you and DomaineGoat LLC for every Gloamport VPS, in plain language, under Panamanian law. **Quick answer — What are the terms of renting a Gloamport VPS?** **Gloamport** rents Linux KVM VPS for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, paid from a prepaid crypto balance, with no identity check. The seller is DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and Panamanian law governs the contract. A VPS whose balance runs short stops at the end of its term, and its disk is wiped after 7 days. Banned uses are listed in section 10. ## 1. Parties and scope These terms bind two parties: DomaineGoat LLC ("we"), which sells and runs the Gloamport service, and the holder of the account ("you"). They cover the website at https://gloamport.com, the dashboard and every VPS ordered through it. Opening an account, adding funds or starting a VPS means you accept them. Three other pages are part of the contract: the [privacy policy](https://gloamport.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"), the [refund policy](https://gloamport.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy") and the [acceptable-use policy](https://gloamport.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). ## 2. Who may use the service - Accounts are for people aged 18 or over. - People and companies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and from the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot use the service. - You must have the legal capacity to sign a contract where you live. - Nobody acting for a person or company on a sanctions list may use the service. - Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. ## 3. Your account Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. - Whoever holds the account number controls the balance and every VPS on the account, so keep it as private as a password. - Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. - You answer for everything done with your account number, your SSH keys and your root password. - Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your root password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. ## 4. What you rent Linux virtual servers on KVM, ordered with nothing more than an account number and paid in crypto, with Monero first among the coins: root over SSH, NVMe storage, one IPv4 and an IPv6 /64 on every VPS. - **Plans and prices:** Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). Specifications are on the [pricing page](https://gloamport.com/pricing/ "How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?"). - **Virtualization:** Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. - **Storage and network:** NVMe storage on every plan. One IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 per VPS, on a 1 Gbit/s port. The traffic of a plan counts outgoing data only, and passing it never creates a bill by itself. - **Cities:** Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price. - **Images:** Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10. Linux only: Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux images. No Windows. - **Access:** Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. - **Server actions:** Reboots and reinstalls are requested from the dashboard and carried out by the team; a reinstall erases the disk. ## 5. Prices and payment Prices are in US dollars. Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard. No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal. - Only crypto is taken: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. The checkout names the network for each coin; a payment sent on another network may be lost. - Money goes into a prepaid balance, with a minimum top-up of $25. Each order and renewal is charged to that balance. Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Send the exact amount to the address shown. The network fee of your own transaction is yours. - Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. - For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. - A price change applies to new orders; a term you have paid for keeps its price. How prices are set is described on the [about page](https://gloamport.com/about/ "Who runs Gloamport, and what does it sell?"). ## 6. Delivery A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. If a VPS cannot be built, the [refund policy](https://gloamport.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy") applies. ## 7. Terms, renewal and the end of a VPS Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. - A term of 1 month lasts 30 days, 3 months 91 days, 6 months 182 days and 12 months 365 days. - You can renew early from the dashboard, and you can pick another term for the next renewal. The term already paid is not changed. - Turn auto-renew off and the VPS stops when the paid days run out; the disk is kept for the same 7 days. - Renew within those 7 days and the VPS starts again with its disk as it was. After them the disk is wiped and cannot be recovered. - Deleting a VPS ends it at once and wipes the disk; unused days are not credited. - A reinstall wipes the disk and installs the image you choose. ## 8. Your data No plan includes backups: keep your own copy of anything you cannot lose. Everything on your VPS is yours to protect and copy. Once a disk is reinstalled, deleted or wiped after the 7-day hold, nobody can restore it. ## 9. Network and mail - Outbound port 25 is closed on every VPS and is not opened on request; ports 465 and 587 towards a mail provider stay open. - No DDoS protection is sold or promised beyond the standard filtering of the datacenter network. - The IP addresses of your VPS may not be used for anything the [acceptable-use policy](https://gloamport.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy") forbids. ## 10. Acceptable use The acceptable-use policy is part of these terms. Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. Cryptocurrency mining is not allowed on any plan. Running a node that only validates a blockchain is not mining. Anything run on your VPS, by you or by anyone you give access to, is your responsibility. Tor relays may run on any plan, exit relays included, and so may bridges and onion services. ## 11. Law, copyright claims and legal orders Gloamport is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama, and Panamanian law is the law it answers to. Each datacenter is also bound by the law of the country where it stands. A DMCA notice or another foreign copyright claim is handled under Panamanian law: on its own it leads to no action. Only Panamanian law and an order of a Panamanian court bind us. What we hold is only what billing and running a VPS need: the account number, and an email if you added one; each top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and for each VPS its plan, term, city, image, SSH public key, IP addresses and dates, plus the temporary root password set when no key was given, which stops working once you change it. The network equipment of each datacenter belongs to the datacenter. Records are handed over only on an order of a Panamanian court. No connection logs and no traffic logs are kept, and no IP address of a visitor or a customer is stored, on this website, in the dashboard or on the servers. ## 12. Suspension A VPS is suspended when its term ends unpaid, or when it breaks the acceptable-use policy. Complaints are read against Panamanian law and our acceptable-use rules. Spam, phishing, malware, botnet control, attacks of any kind and child sexual abuse material are banned outright: a VPS used for them is suspended. The dashboard shows a suspended VPS as suspended. Days left on a VPS suspended for abuse are not credited. To contest a suspension, write to support@gloamport.com with the IP address of the VPS. ## 13. Availability We promise no uptime percentage. A VPS can be interrupted by maintenance, by the datacenter network or by events outside our control. If a VPS goes down and support cannot restore it, each lost day returns to your balance as the refund policy says. Plans, cities and images can be added or withdrawn for new orders, and a paid term keeps what was ordered. ## 14. Warranty and liability The service is provided as it is. We make no promise that a VPS suits a particular purpose, that a third-party service will accept its IP addresses, or about the country in which an IP geolocation database lists them. Within what Panamanian law permits, we are not liable for indirect loss, lost profit or lost data, and our total liability for a claim is limited to the price of the current term of the VPS concerned. Nothing here limits a liability that the law does not allow us to limit. If a third party claims against us because you broke these terms, you cover the reasonable costs that follow. ## 15. Disputes Panamanian law governs these terms and the service, and the courts of Panama decide any dispute about them. ## 16. Changes, language and contact We may revise these terms. The date at the top shows the current version, which governs new orders, renewals and continued use from that day. The English text prevails over any translation.

This page shows what the check usually covers, which hosts skip it, and what Gloamport asks instead. **Quick answer — Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?** Gloamport sells a VPS with no KYC: Linux KVM servers from $3.74 a month on the 12-month term, ordered with a random account number and an optional email, and paid in crypto with Monero first. No name, address, phone number, card or identity document is asked at any step. ## What does the no-KYC VPS market look like in November 2026? | What the survey checked | Result | | --- | --- | | Active crypto VPS hosts read | 42 | | No identity document asked of customers | 28 hosts | | Identity document asked in some cases | 11 hosts | | Identity document asked of everyone | 1 host | | Accept Monero | 26 hosts (62%) | | Email address required at signup | 36 hosts | | No email, or an optional one | 6 hosts | | Full name required at signup | 13 hosts | | Publish an official .onion address | 10 hosts | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Source: Gloamport survey of 10 November 2026, read from each host’s public pages. Gloamport is not counted in these figures. ## What does no KYC mean for a VPS? No KYC means the host does not verify who you are before it sells you a server. KYC stands for know your customer: the check where a company collects an ID document, a selfie or a proof of address. A host can skip that check and still collect other personal data. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 13 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts ask for a full name at signup, 9 for a postal address and 5 for a phone number. So a VPS with no KYC and a VPS that asks for nothing are two different things. ## How many VPS hosts ask for an ID document? Most hosts in the survey do not ask every customer for one. Of the 42 active hosts, 28 state that no identity document is asked, 11 keep the right to ask in some cases and 1 asks every customer. The “in some cases” group matters. VSYS Host, for example, says on its home page that you can register without KYC, while its terms of service reserve the right to request documents that prove you own the account you paid from. Read the terms, not only the home page. ## What should I check before buying a VPS with no KYC? Check five things on the host’s own pages before you pay. - **The signup form.** Does it ask for a name, address or phone number, and is the email required? - **The terms.** Do they reserve the right to ask for an ID document later? - **The payment route.** Does the host run its own wallet, or does a third-party processor see the order? In the survey, 9 hosts run their own gateway, 14 name a third-party processor and 19 do not say. - **The coin.** A public ledger shows who paid what and when once an address is linked to you. - **Root access.** You want a full server, not a shared account. The page on [what makes a VPS privacy-focused](https://gloamport.com/privacy-focused-vps/ "What makes a VPS privacy-focused?") applies the same criteria one by one. ## What does Gloamport ask when you buy a VPS? An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. The product itself is plain: Linux virtual servers on KVM, ordered with nothing more than an account number and paid in crypto, with Monero first among the coins: root over SSH, NVMe storage, one IPv4 and an IPv6 /64 on every VPS. Every plan runs in Reykjavik (Iceland), Bucharest (Romania) and Amsterdam (Netherlands): every plan in every city, at the same price. A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots; 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. The price rule is written down. On the 12-month term, each plan costs at least 25% less than a named reference plan read on 10 November 2026: Ember against HostSailor “Mini Sailor” at $4.99 a month; Dusk against VSYS Host “VS-NVME1-2” at $7.00 a month; Gloam against VSYS Host “VS-NVME2-4” at $11.00 a month; Night against VSYS Host “VS-NVME4-8” at $18.00 a month; Aurora against AliasVPS “Pro” at $27.50 a month; Halo against AliasVPS “Scale” at $34.50 a month; Nebula against Servers.Guru “10Gbps VPS 16 vCPU/32 GB” at €49.99 ($56.06) a month; Zenith against Bit.Hosting “BitInfinity” at $155.00 a month. A reference is a plan with at least the same vCPU, RAM and disk, an IPv4 address included, billed one month at a time and not sold out, at one of the 38 VPS hosts in our survey that take crypto and do not ask every customer for an ID document; for each size it is the one with the smallest monthly price, and two of our plans never share one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. Euro prices use 1 EUR = 1.1214 USD (ECB reference rate of 10 November 2026); the 1-month price is the 12-month monthly price divided by 0.5. ## Does paying in crypto make a no-KYC VPS private? It makes the payment less public, not invisible. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. The Monero Project states that the sender, receiver and amount of every Monero transaction are hidden. That does not end the story. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. A VPS with no KYC is private in one narrow way: the host does not hold your name or your ID. Know the limits of a no-KYC VPS before you rely on it. The payment steps are on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?") ## Which no-KYC host fits which need? Pick by the one fact you cannot give up. - **No email field at all.** In the survey, Servury, Kyun and TLDBunker list none. TLDBunker was still pre-launch on 10 November 2026: its checkout page said ordering was not configured yet. - **Monero and an optional email.** Gloamport, and Njalla, NiceVPS and VPSDEN for the email part, within the limits each page states. - **Lowest monthly price at one size.** The price tables show who is least expensive in the survey. We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. The full lists are on [which VPS hosts accept Monero](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?") and [the best no-KYC VPS in 2026](https://gloamport.com/best-no-kyc-vps/ "What is the best no-KYC VPS in 2026?"). ## How much does a no-KYC VPS cost at Gloamport? Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard. | Plan | Quantity | 30 days | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | Ember · 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM | — | $22.44 | $35.90 (−20%) | $44.88 (−50%) | | Dusk | Dusk · 1 vCPU · 2 GB RAM | — | $31.50 | $50.40 (−20%) | $63 (−50%) | | Gloam | Gloam · 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM | $16.50 | $49.50 | $79.20 (−20%) | $99 (−50%) | | Night | Night · 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM | $27 | $81 | $129.60 (−20%) | $162 (−50%) | | Aurora | Aurora · 8 vCPU · 16 GB RAM | $41.24 | $123.72 | $197.95 (−20%) | $247.44 (−50%) | | Halo | Halo · 12 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $51.74 | $155.22 | $248.35 (−20%) | $310.44 (−50%) | | Nebula | Nebula · 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $84.08 | $252.24 | $403.58 (−20%) | $504.48 (−50%) | | Zenith | Zenith · 32 vCPU · 64 GB RAM | $232.50 | $697.50 | $1,116 (−20%) | $1,395 (−50%) | In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min **In summary** - A no-KYC VPS is sold without an ID document, selfie or proof of address. - 28 of 42 active crypto hosts state that no identity document is asked. - Some hosts skip KYC but still ask for a name (13), an address (9) or a phone number (5). - Gloamport asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. - Plans start at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. - Monero stays off the public record, but the account still links your orders to your VPS addresses. - Read each host’s terms: “no KYC” on a home page can come with conditions. ## Common questions ### What is a VPS with no KYC? It is a virtual private server sold without an identity check. The host does not collect an ID document, a selfie or a proof of address before it delivers the server. ### Can I buy a no-KYC VPS without an email address? Yes, at some hosts. Gloamport makes the email optional, and the survey found 6 hosts with no email or an optional one. Without an email, nobody can send you back a lost account number. ### Is a VPS with no KYC legal? Selling a server without an ID check is not the issue in itself. What you run on it still has to follow the host’s rules: Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. ### Which countries cannot use Gloamport? People and companies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and from the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot use the service. Accounts are for people aged 18 or over. ### How fast do I get the server? 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. A person on the team builds each VPS once the payment is confirmed. ## Sources 1. [Servury home page (signup and payments)](https://servury.com/) — Servury (checked 2026-11-10) 2.

Host-by-host table read on 10 November 2026. - URL: https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Every active crypto VPS host of the survey, read on its own public pages: Monero, email, name, ID document, onion address and payment route. **Quick answer — Which VPS hosts accept Monero?** Which VPS hosts accept Monero? In Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts do, or 62%. 6 of them also sign you up without a required email. Gloamport accepts Monero as well, on an order that asks only for a plan, a coin and an optional email. ## Which of the 42 active crypto VPS hosts accept Monero, and what do they ask at signup? Every active host of the survey, read on its own pricing, signup, FAQ and terms pages on 10 November 2026. "On triggers" means the terms allow an identity check only in cases they name (a card payment, a fraud flag).

TLDBunker is listed but its checkout was not open yet. ## How was this list of Monero VPS hosts built? The list comes from public pages only: no account was created, nothing was bought and no host was contacted. On 10 November 2026, Gloamport read the pricing, signup, FAQ and terms pages of 49 hosts. 42 were active and are in the table; 8 were new this month. A field that a host's pages do not state is marked "Not stated", never guessed. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of 42 active hosts accept Monero, 21 accept USDT and 4 accept Lightning. ## Which Monero VPS hosts do not require an email address? 6 hosts do not require an email: Njalla, Servury, NiceVPS, VPSDEN, TLDBunker and Kyun. Njalla, Servury, NiceVPS and Kyun also publish an onion address. If your first filter is a sign-up with no email, those hosts are the better starting point. See [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?") for the full list. Gloamport sits in the same group: an account is a random number, and an email can be added later or never. ## Which Monero VPS hosts publish an onion address? 10 of the 42 hosts publish an onion address for their own site, and every one of them accepts Monero: Njalla, FlokiNET, Privex, PrivateAlps, Servury, Servers.Guru, MyNymBox, NiceVPS, Kyun and DarkVPS. FlokiNET's homepage publishes three. Gloamport has no onion address for its site, so a reader who wants to order over Tor should pick one of these ten. See [What is an onion service, and how does it work?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-an-onion-service/ "What is an onion service, and how does it work?") for the mechanism. ## Who takes the Monero payment: the host or a payment processor? A host either runs its own wallet or hands the payment to a third-party processor, and the survey counts both. 9 of the 42 hosts state that they take crypto through their own wallet or gateway, 14 name a third-party processor, and 19 do not say. Gloamport's route is the first kind: Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. What a processor asks of you is covered in [Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?](https://gloamport.com/do-crypto-payment-processors-require-kyc/ "Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?"). ## Does paying with Monero hide the whole order? No: Monero hides the payment on the public ledger, not the order at the host. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. The comparison with Bitcoin is in [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"), and the steps at Gloamport are in [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. ## Can I reuse this table? Yes: the table and the figures on this page are licensed CC BY 4.0, so you may copy and republish them with credit to Gloamport and a link to this page. The page is refreshed every month at the same URL. The survey measures what hosts publish, not speed, uptime or support quality. ## Monero VPS hosts: common questions ### How many VPS hosts accept Monero in 2026? In Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts list Monero as a payment option. 16 do not list it. ### Which VPS hosts accept Monero without an email address? Njalla, Servury, NiceVPS, VPSDEN, TLDBunker and Kyun, as stated on their public pages on 10 November 2026. TLDBunker was listed, but its checkout was not open yet. ### Does Gloamport accept Monero? Yes. You send the exact amount to a Gloamport address and the payment is credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. ### Is a Monero VPS host the same as a no-KYC VPS host? No. Monero is a payment coin; no KYC is a sign-up rule. A host can take Monero and still ask for an email or a name. ### Does Monero make a VPS purchase fully private? No. The ledger does not show the sender or the amount, but the host's billing still links the account, the orders and the IP addresses of the VPS. **In summary** - 26 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts accept Monero (62%). - 6 Monero hosts do not require an email: Njalla, Servury, NiceVPS, VPSDEN, TLDBunker and Kyun. - 10 hosts publish an onion address, and all of them accept Monero. - Monero hides the payment on the ledger; the host's billing still links account, orders and VPS IP addresses. - Gloamport accepts Monero, credited after 10 confirmations, and has no onion address of its own. - The data is CC BY 4.0 and refreshed monthly at this URL. ## Sources 1.

An order asks for a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address: no name, no postal address, no phone and no identity document. On the 12-month term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from a survey of 38 no-KYC crypto VPS hosts read on 10 November 2026. --- # Can I get a VPS without an email address? > Get a VPS without an email address: Gloamport makes it optional, and 6 of 42 surveyed crypto hosts allow it. Plans from $3.74 a month. - URL: https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) Most VPS hosts require an email at signup. A few do not. Here is who, what they ask instead, and what you give up. **Quick answer — Can I get a VPS without an email address?** Yes. At Gloamport your account is a random account number and the email is optional, so you can get a VPS without an email address. In the survey of 10 November 2026, only 6 of 42 active crypto hosts had no email field or an optional one; 36 required it. Plans start at $3.74 a month. ## Which VPS hosts let you sign up without an email address? | Host | Email at signup | What the signup asks | Monero | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Gloamport | Optional | A plan and a coin; the account is a random number | Yes | | Servury | None | A randomly generated credential only | Yes | | Kyun | None | A password and a proof-of-work; contact details optional (fields read 2026-10-29) | Yes, the only coin | | TLDBunker | None (pre-launch) | Plan, billing period, OS; SSH key and email optional | Yes | | Njalla | Optional | An email or XMPP address, and a password | Yes | | NiceVPS | Optional | A username, an optional email, a password and a captcha | Yes | | VPSDEN | Optional | Optional contact details; an access key is issued | Yes | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* The six hosts other than Gloamport are the 6 counted in the survey. TLDBunker’s checkout page still said ordering was not configured on 10 November 2026. ## Why get a VPS without an email address? Because an email address links a server to a mailbox you probably use elsewhere. A mailbox that receives your receipts, your password resets and your newsletters is a strong identifier. Dropping the field removes that link at the source. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. ## How does a Gloamport account work without an email? Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. You can still add an email later if you want one. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. ## What do you lose without an email address? You lose the recovery path, nothing else. With no email on file, nobody at Gloamport can bring back a lost account number, so store it in a password manager or on paper. Other hosts make the same trade. VPSDEN states that it has no email password reset and issues an access key instead. Njalla asks for an email or XMPP address, so it is optional only in the sense that you can choose the second. ## Which hosts take Monero and no required email? Six of them in the survey. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 6 hosts accept Monero and do not require an email, out of 26 that accept Monero in all. Servury names its payment route as its own self-hosted nodes, and NiceVPS says it uses no third-party payment processor. The full Monero table is on [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"), and the steps for paying are on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](https://gloamport.com/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?"). ## Does a VPS without an email address still link my payment? Yes, to the account. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. Without an email, the account number is the only identifier on our side. A payment on a public ledger is a second one: Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. More on what to expect is in [What makes a VPS privacy-focused?](https://gloamport.com/privacy-focused-vps/ "What makes a VPS privacy-focused?"). ## How do I order a VPS without an email address? Leave the email field empty at checkout. You order with a plan, a coin and the account number, and nothing else. The steps are the same as for any Gloamport order: choose a plan and a term, pay in the coin you picked, wait for the confirmations, then log in over SSH. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login. A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. Two habits help when there is no email. Write the account number down before you pay, and keep the transaction ID of your payment until the VPS is running. ## How much is a VPS without an email address? The email changes nothing in the price. Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least). | Plan | Quantity | 30 days | 3 months | 6 months | 1 year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ember | Ember · 1 vCPU · 1 GB RAM | — | $22.44 | $35.90 (−20%) | $44.88 (−50%) | | Dusk | Dusk · 1 vCPU · 2 GB RAM | — | $31.50 | $50.40 (−20%) | $63 (−50%) | | Gloam | Gloam · 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM | $16.50 | $49.50 | $79.20 (−20%) | $99 (−50%) | | Night | Night · 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM | $27 | $81 | $129.60 (−20%) | $162 (−50%) | | Aurora | Aurora · 8 vCPU · 16 GB RAM | $41.24 | $123.72 | $197.95 (−20%) | $247.44 (−50%) | | Halo | Halo · 12 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $51.74 | $155.22 | $248.35 (−20%) | $310.44 (−50%) | | Nebula | Nebula · 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $84.08 | $252.24 | $403.58 (−20%) | $504.48 (−50%) | | Zenith | Zenith · 32 vCPU · 64 GB RAM | $232.50 | $697.50 | $1,116 (−20%) | $1,395 (−50%) | In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee **Before you pay** - Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min **In summary** - Gloamport makes the email optional: the account is a random account number. - In the survey, 6 of 42 active hosts have no email field or an optional one. - 36 hosts require an email address. - 6 hosts accept Monero without a required email. - Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. - Gloamport still links your account, orders, VPS IP addresses and declared TXID. - The price is the same with or without an email. ## Common questions ### Can I add an email to my account later? Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address. ### What happens if I lose my account number? Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. ### Do I need a phone number or a name? No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. ### Which host has no email field at all? In the survey, Servury, Kyun and TLDBunker list none. Kyun’s signup fields come from a read of 29 October 2026, and TLDBunker had not opened ordering on 10 November 2026. ### Is a VPS without an email address legal? The host is free to make the email optional. What you run on the server must still follow the host’s rules: Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. ## Sources 1.

Whoever holds it sees every payment received there, but cannot spend. Gloamport checks each Monero payment in its own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither sender nor amount; 26 surveyed hosts accept XMR. ## Which Monero keys do what? | Key or proof | What it does | Who should hold it | | --- | --- | --- | | Private spend key | Spends the funds; it builds the one-time private keys that spend each output | Only the wallet owner | | Private view key | Recognizes incoming transactions on the otherwise opaque blockchain | The wallet owner, and anyone the owner chooses to let see incoming payments | | Public address | Receives payments; it is built from the spend key and the view key | Anyone who needs to pay you | | Transaction key (per payment) | Lets a sender prove that one payment reached one address | The sender, who shares it for one payment | | View-only wallet | A wallet made from a standard address and a secret view key, to track incoming transactions | An accountant, a shop's server or an auditor | Sources: the Monero Project pages listed below, checked 2026-11-10. ## What is a Monero view key? A view key is one of the two sets of private and public keys that every Monero account has. The Moneropedia entry calls the private view key the key required to view all transactions related to the account. The documentation at docs.getmonero.org puts it the same way: the private view key is used to recognize your incoming transactions on the otherwise opaque blockchain, while the private spend key is used to spend moneros. The split is what lets Monero hide payments from the public yet still let a wallet find its own. Each payment goes to a random one-time address, and the view key is how the recipient's wallet tells which of them belong to it. Your public address is built from both keys. ## What does a view key reveal, and what does it not? A view key reveals every incoming payment to its address, and it does not move any funds. By sharing a view key, the Moneropedia says, a person allows access to view every incoming transaction for that address. Two limits matter. First, outgoing transactions cannot be reliably viewed with a view key: the entry notes this as of June 2017, and warns that a balance shown through a view key should not be relied upon. Second, the view key does not spend: spending needs the spend key, which is a different key. So a view key is not harmless. It gives a stranger your full incoming history, including amounts, which is precisely what Monero hides from everyone else. Treat it like a statement of account: share it only with someone who may read that history. ## Why does a host use a view key to check a Monero payment? A host uses its own view key because a public explorer cannot tell it whether a payment arrived. Monero hides the sender and the amount from the public, so the only party who can confirm an incoming payment is the owner of the receiving wallet, or someone holding its view key. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. The view key in question belongs to Gloamport's wallet, not to yours. You never hand yours over: An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Sending to a host's address does not give the host a view of your wallet. It sees one incoming payment, to its own address. What stays linked is on the account side: Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. For the coin comparison, read [Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/monero-vs-bitcoin-for-vps-payments/ "Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?"). ## How do you make a view-only wallet? You make one with the Monero command-line wallet, from a standard address and a secret view key. The wallet reference describes the option as one that restores a view-only version of the wallet to track incoming transactions; the view key is typed in hexadecimal. Inside any wallet, the `viewkey` command prints the secret view key and the public view key. *Create a view-only wallet (monero-wallet-cli)* ```bash monero-wallet-cli --generate-from-view-key view-only-wallet # the wallet asks for the standard address and the secret view key # inside a full wallet, `viewkey` shows the keys ``` A view-only wallet shows incoming payments and cannot sign a spend. Because of the outgoing-transaction limit above, its balance can overstate what the wallet owns. ## Is a view key the same as a transaction key? No: a view key covers every incoming payment of an address, while a transaction key covers one payment. The wallet reference describes the `get_tx_key` and `check_tx_key` commands as the way to learn and verify a transaction's private key. A successful check shows that an amount was directed to an address in that transaction. It does not prove that the recipient can still spend those funds, because outputs may be time-locked or already spent. That difference makes the transaction key the better thing to share when you need to prove one payment, for example to a host's support desk. It reveals one payment, not your whole history. The steps are in [How do I prove a Monero payment with the TXID and tx key?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-prove-a-monero-payment/ "How do I prove a Monero payment with the TXID and tx key?"). ## How many VPS hosts accept Monero? A majority of surveyed hosts accept it, so the view-key mechanics matter when buying. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of the 42 active hosts accept Monero (62%), and 6 of them also ask for no email address or leave it optional. The full table is in [Which VPS hosts accept Monero?](https://gloamport.com/vps-that-accepts-monero/ "Which VPS hosts accept Monero?"). ## Frequently asked questions ### Can someone spend my Monero with my view key? No. The private view key recognizes incoming transactions; the private spend key is the one that spends. A view key still exposes your incoming payments and amounts, so share it with care. ### Should I give my view key to a VPS host? No. A host that checks payments does so with the view key of its own receiving wallet. Gloamport's order form asks for a plan, a coin and an optional email, nothing from your wallet. ### Does a view key show outgoing payments? Not reliably. The Moneropedia entry says outgoing transactions could not be reliably viewed as of June 2017, and that a balance shown through a view key should not be relied upon. ### How do I find my view key? In the Monero command-line wallet, type `viewkey`. It prints the secret view key and the public view key. Never post the secret one in public. ### Does paying in Monero make my VPS impossible to link to me? No. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. **In summary** - The private view key recognizes incoming Monero payments; the private spend key spends them. - Sharing a view key exposes every incoming payment to that address, not outgoing ones reliably. - A view-only wallet is built with `--generate-from-view-key` and cannot spend. - A transaction key proves one payment; a view key shows all incoming ones. - Gloamport checks Monero payments in its own wallet and never asks for yours; credit comes after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. - 26 of 42 surveyed hosts accept Monero (survey of 10 November 2026). ## Sources 1.

Run one from $3.74 a month. - URL: https://gloamport.com/what-is-an-onion-service/ - Last updated: 2026-11-10 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) **Quick answer — What is an onion service, and how does it work?** An onion service is a site or server reachable only through the Tor network, at a 56-character address ending in .onion. Six relays join client and service, so neither learns the other's IP address. You can host one on a Gloamport VPS from $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. ## How does an onion service differ from an ordinary website? | Feature | Ordinary website | Onion service | | --- | --- | --- | | Address | A domain name resolved by DNS | 56 characters followed by .onion, derived from the service's public key | | Reachable through | Any browser | Tor only | | Server IP address | Public, in DNS | Protected: IP addresses are not used in the protocol | | Encryption | HTTPS if the site sets it up | End-to-end between the Tor user and the service | | Open inbound port needed | Yes | No: the service only makes outgoing connections | | Who you are talking to | Checked by an HTTPS certificate | Checked by the address itself, which is the service's public key | | Relays on the path | Depends on how you connect | 6: 3 chosen by the client, 3 by the service | Facts from the Tor Project pages listed under Sources, checked 2026-11-10. ## What is an onion service? An onion service is a service, such as a website, that can only be reached over the Tor network. The Tor Project's support pages say it hides the location and IP address of the service, which makes it harder to censor or trace to its operator. Onion services were formerly called hidden services. The address is the service's identity. The Tor Project describes the onion address as the service's identity public key, which is why it looks random. Version 3 addresses are 56 letters and numbers followed by .onion; the older 16-character version 2 addresses no longer work on the Tor network. ## How does a connection to an onion service work? A client and an onion service never connect directly: they meet at a relay both reach through Tor. The Tor Project describes five steps. 1. **Introduction points.** The service picks several relays, builds long-term three-hop circuits to them and asks them to act as introduction points. 2. **Descriptor.** The service writes a descriptor that lists its introduction points and keys, signs it with the private key behind its address and uploads it to a distributed hash table inside the Tor network. 3. **Lookup.** The client fetches the descriptor by address and checks the signature against the public key that is the address. 4. **Rendezvous.** The client builds a circuit to a relay of its choice, the rendezvous point, and gives it a one-time secret. It sends its details to the service through an introduction point. 5. **Meeting.** The service connects to the rendezvous point over its own circuit and presents the secret. The rendezvous point relays end-to-end encrypted traffic between the two. The full connection consists of six relays: three chosen by the client, ending at the rendezvous point, and three chosen by the service. The Tor Project states that the service's IP address is protected and that IP addresses are not even used in the protocol. ## Why is an onion address enough without HTTPS? An onion address is enough because the address is itself a cryptographic check. The Tor Project's support page says all traffic between Tor users and onion services is end-to-end encrypted, and that the address uses cryptography to confirm that you reached the intended service and that nothing was altered on the way. Some onion sites still use HTTPS, which Tor Browser shows in the address bar. Because the service only makes outgoing connections, it also needs no open port on its host: it punches through NAT. A server behind a firewall that blocks inbound connections can still publish an onion service. ## How many VPS hosts publish an onion address? Few hosts do. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 10 of the 42 active hosts publish an official .onion address for their own site: Njalla, FlokiNET, Privex, PrivateAlps, Servury, Servers.Guru, MyNymBox, NiceVPS, Kyun and DarkVPS. The survey counts only addresses the host publishes itself. A host's onion address protects the connection to the host's website and billing pages. It is a separate question from whether you can run an onion service of your own on one of its servers, which is what the next section covers. For the other criteria that make a host fit a privacy need, read [What makes a VPS privacy-focused?](https://gloamport.com/privacy-focused-vps/ "What makes a VPS privacy-focused?"). ## How do you run an onion service on a VPS? You install Tor on the server and add two lines to its configuration. The Tor Project's setup page gives them for a web server on port 80: *torrc on the VPS (from the Tor Project setup page)* ```text HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/my-website/ HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 ``` Tor creates the directory when it starts, and your address is the `hostname` file inside it. The other files in that directory are the service's keys. Keep them private: anyone who gets them could impersonate your service. Anyone who learns the address can connect unless you set up v3 client authorization, in which the service holds an x25519 public key and each client connects with the matching private key. A VPS suits this because it stays online and you control the web server. Full KVM virtualization: your own kernel, your own firewall rules and your own disk encryption if you set it up. Ember (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic) is $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. The step-by-step version, with the web server, is [How do I host an onion site on a VPS?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-host-an-onion-site/ "How do I host an onion site on a VPS?"). To reach your own server's SSH port through Tor, read [How do I SSH into my VPS over Tor?](https://gloamport.com/guides/how-to-ssh-into-a-vps-over-tor/ "How do I SSH into my VPS over Tor?"). ## What does an onion service not protect? An onion service does not protect the contents of a badly configured server. The Tor Project's setup page tells operators to configure the web server so that it does not reveal the server's IP address or other identifying details. It also does not change how you pay for the server. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. For the payment side, read [What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?](https://gloamport.com/what-is-kyc-in-vps-hosting/ "What is KYC in VPS hosting, and why do hosts ask for ID?"). ## Frequently asked questions ### What does .onion mean? It is the ending of an address that only the Tor network can resolve. The part before it is 56 characters long for version 3 and encodes the service's public key. ### Is an onion service the same as the dark web? An onion service is a technology: a server reachable only over Tor with a protected IP address. What people publish on it is a separate matter, and its address says nothing about the content. ### Can I run an onion service from behind NAT? Yes. The service makes outgoing connections only, so it needs no open inbound port. ### Do I need a domain name for an onion service? No. The address comes from the service's own key and is created by Tor, in the hostname file. ### Can I restrict who connects to my onion service? Yes, with v3 client authorization. Once it is configured, people who have only the address cannot reach the service; each client needs the matching private key. **In summary** - An onion service is reachable only through Tor and hides the service's IP address. - Version 3 addresses are 56 characters plus .onion and are the service's public key. - A connection uses 6 relays and a rendezvous point; traffic is end-to-end encrypted. - The service needs no open inbound port. - 10 of 42 surveyed hosts publish an official .onion address. - You can run one on any Gloamport plan from $3.74 a month; Tor's two torrc lines set it up. - Misconfigured servers can still leak their IP address. ## Sources 1.

Gloamport asks for no identity document: an order needs a plan, a coin and an optional email; 28 of 42 surveyed hosts also ask for none. ## What do VPS hosts ask for at signup? | What the signup asks for | Hosts, of 42 active in the survey | | --- | --- | | No ID document asked of anyone | 28 | | ID document only in some cases (fraud review, payment checks) | 11 | | ID document asked of every customer | 1 | | A name on the signup form | 13 | | A postal address on the signup form | 9 | | A phone number on the signup form | 5 | | An email address required | 36 | | No email at all, or email optional | 6 | *Prices checked on November 10, 2026.* Source: Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, read on each host's own public pages. A host that states nothing about ID is not counted in the first three rows. ## What does KYC mean, exactly? KYC means identifying a customer and verifying that identity against a reliable document or record. In US rules, the core elements of customer due diligence are to identify and verify the customer, to identify and verify the owners of a legal entity, to understand the purpose of the relationship and to monitor it over time, as FinCEN lists them. Those rules cover banks, securities brokers, mutual funds and commodities brokers. The FinCEN page does not list web hosts among them, so a VPS host that asks for an ID is acting on its own policy or on the demands of its payment partner, not on a rule written for hosting. In hosting, KYC takes four forms: a name and address typed into a form, a scan of a passport or ID card, a selfie, and a request for proof that the payment method is yours. ## Why do VPS hosts ask for ID? Hosts say they ask for ID to screen fraud and to satisfy their payment provider. The wording in their own terms shows the pattern: - A fraud review. LiteServer may ask for a copy of an identity card if its fraud control rates an order high risk. Cloudzy may suspend an account flagged as similar to fraudulent ones until identity is verified. - A payment rule. HostSailor says it may require photographic ID when you pay by credit card. AlexHost says its payment gateway may require proof of account ownership before a refund. - A general right. AbeloHost reserves the right to run a KYC validation at any time and to ask for a government photo ID. - A standing rule. HOSTKEY states mandatory KYC and AML verification for customers who register on its main site. Every stated reason concerns the payment or the account, not what you run on the server. ## How common is KYC among VPS hosts? A flat ID requirement is rare; a conditional one is common. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 28 of 42 active hosts ask for no ID document, 11 ask in some cases and 1 asks every customer. Forms ask for more than documents. 13 hosts require a name at signup, 9 a postal address and 5 a phone number. An email is required by 36 hosts, which makes it the most common piece of personal data. The hosts with no email or an optional one are Njalla, Servury, NiceVPS, VPSDEN, TLDBunker and Kyun; see [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?"). ## What does a no-KYC VPS host do instead? A no-KYC host asks only for what billing and building a server need. No identity check, now or later: no ID upload, no selfie, no proof of address, no card and no phone number. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process. The account is a random number: Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. No KYC does not mean no rules. Before a payment is credited, the address that sent it is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses whenever its blockchain makes that address public; money from a listed address is never credited. Not allowed: spam and bulk email, phishing, malware and botnet control, DDoS and every other attack, scanning or brute-forcing systems you do not own, booter and stresser services, carding and fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. People and companies from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen and Western Sahara, and from the occupied regions of Ukraine, cannot use the service. It also does not mean no record. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number.

Yes, it can: when a host uses a payment processor, the processor may run checks the host never sees. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 14 hosts route crypto payments through a named third-party processor, 9 run their own payment system and 19 do not state which they use. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction. What each processor requires from the shopper is on its own pages and differs by company. [Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?](https://gloamport.com/do-crypto-payment-processors-require-kyc/ "Do crypto payment processors ask for KYC?") reads those pages one by one. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is KYC legally required to sell a VPS? The FinCEN customer due diligence rule applies to banks and brokers, and its page does not list web hosts. Local rules differ, so a host's own terms and its payment provider are the better guide to what it will ask. ### Can a host ask for ID after I have already paid? Some can. 11 of 42 hosts in the survey keep a right to ask in some cases, such as a flagged order. Gloamport states that it never checks identity, now or later. ### Does paying with Monero avoid KYC? Monero removes the public record of the payment, but the host's rules decide whether it asks for ID. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. ### What is the difference between KYC and AML? KYC is identifying and verifying a customer. AML, anti-money-laundering, is the wider duty to monitor and report suspicious activity, which FinCEN lists as ongoing monitoring next to identification. ### Which plan can I order without giving my identity at Gloamport? Any of them. Ember starts at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term and Dusk at $5.25; the order fields are the same for every plan. **In summary** - KYC is a host identifying you and verifying that identity: a form, a document, a selfie or proof of payment ownership. - Hosts name fraud review, payment-provider rules and compliance as their reasons. - In the survey of 10 November 2026: 28 of 42 hosts ask for no ID, 11 in some cases, 1 always. - 36 hosts require an email, 13 a name, 9 an address, 5 a phone number. - Gloamport asks for a plan, a coin and an optional email, and screens payments against public sanctions lists. - No KYC is not no record: the account is still linked to its orders, VPS addresses and declared transaction IDs. ## Sources 1.
