Anonymous VPN

Create your own anonymous VPN Server in minutes using our OpenVPN App

In this guide we'll show you the easiest way to create your own OpenVPN Server, paid with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

We here at Blackserver think privacy is very important and a fundamental human right. We want to increase the only privacy.

An anonymous VPN is a key way to help protect your information online, as well as your identity. A common way to get a VPN setup is to use a VPN provider. Whilst the traffic between your device and the VPN is encrypted, traffic from the VPN is still readable by your VPN provider. You're simply moving the risk down the VPN tunnel, which unfortunately means you are not completely anonymous.

To setup your own VPS to create an anonymous VPN may sound complex, but with Blackserver you have the powerful tools to set up your own OpenVPN server in minutes!
