Why Self-Host Your Own VPN on a Linux VPS

Commercial VPN services share IP addresses with thousands of unknown users, triggering CAPTCHAs and fraud detection. Self-hosting WireGuard on a dedicated $3.50/mo cloud VPS (such as Infrawire or Virterion) gives you a pristine, static IP address with kernel-level cryptographic speeds.

1. Install WireGuard

sudo apt update && sudo apt install wireguard qrencode -y

2. Enable IP Forwarding

echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p
