Guides

Offshore hosting guides.

Practical, first-hand guides to running servers privately: paying with Monero, hosting a website anonymously, building your own WireGuard VPN, running a Tor relay, and avoiding the mistakes that deanonymize you. Written by the people who operate the network and tested on our own hardware.

Every guide here is written for a technically competent reader who wants the real steps, not marketing. They assume you value your privacy and your time. Where a command or config matters, it is on the page — copy-pasteable and explained.

Pay for a VPS with Monero (XMR)

Buy a no-KYC VPS with Monero: acquire XMR privately, top up, deploy in 47s.

Read

Host a website anonymously

End-to-end: pick a jurisdiction, deploy a no-KYC VPS paid in Monero, harden it, serve clean-IP TLS.

Read

Set up a WireGuard VPS (your own VPN)

Run your own WireGuard VPN on a no-KYC VPS. Full server + client config, kill-switch, nftables.

Read

Run a Tor relay on a VPS

Install, configure, and run a Tor relay or exit on a no-KYC VPS — torrc, MyFamily, Nyx, abuse.

Read

Anonymity mistakes that deanonymize you

The real ways people blow their own cover running a server — and the fix for each.

Read

DMCA-ignored hosting, explained

What “DMCA-ignored hosting” really means, why a non-US host has no DMCA queue at all, and what actually happens when a takedown request arrives.

Read

Pay for a VPS with USDT

Fund a no-KYC VPS with Tether (USDT) on TRON — low fees, stable value, no email or ID required.

Read

Is a no-KYC VPS legal and safe?

An honest answer on the legality and safety of anonymous, no-KYC VPS hosting — what is legitimate, what is not, and how to stay on the right side of it.

Read

Encrypt a VPS disk with LUKS

Full-disk encryption on rented hardware: a LUKS2 root volume, unlocked remotely over SSH so the server still reboots without you at a console — and an honest account of what it protects.

Read

Migrate a VPS without downtime

Moving a live server to another host without dropping a request: the inventory, the DNS timing that actually decides your downtime, the freeze-and-proxy cutover, and the things that must not make the trip.

Read

Harden a new VPS in the first hour

The hour after deploy decides whether a server stays yours: keys-only SSH, a default-deny nftables ruleset, unattended security updates — and the three quiet gotchas that undo all of it while looking correct.

Read

Back up a VPS you can actually restore

A snapshot is not a backup and an untested copy is only a hypothesis: encrypted off-site backups that survive a deleted database, a compromised server and a closed account.

Read

Keep a VPS online under DDoS

Three different attacks share one name, and each one has to be stopped at a different layer — which is why most DDoS advice fails: it fights a full pipe with an nginx directive. What the network does above you, what you do on the box, and how to stop being findable in the first place.

FAQ

Questions worth answering

Are these guides specific to CryptoVpsHost?

The privacy reasoning and most commands apply to any Linux server. The payment and deploy steps use the CryptoVpsHost flow, which is no-KYC and crypto-only.

Do I need to be an expert to follow them?

No. Each guide is step-by-step. Comfort with SSH and a terminal is enough.
