Buy A Dedicated VPN Server

Frequently asked questions

• What is a VPN and how can it protect my privacy?

  A VPN, short for a virtual private network, is a technology that when utilized changes your current IP address and geographical location by encrypting your connection and traffic. Using a VPN can help protect you against hackers, eavesdroppers and snoopers. Additionally, you can gain access to geo-restricted content such as streamed media and also be able to download particular files and obtain information that you otherwise could not.

• Why is it better for my privacy to use a dedicated VPN hosted on a VPS?

  Traditional VPN providers offer their customers shared IP addresses. While helpful for masking an individual user’s identity, using a shared IP can have negative consequences if some users take part in illegal or suspicious activity. You can avoid this by using a private VPN server and having a dedicated IP address. Furthemore, standard VPN service providers often have control over the VPN server, meaning that they do have access to your information. When using a dedicated VPN instance, you have complete and independent control over your own server, which increases your security and protects your privacy.

• Why do you offer servers at just one location - Sofia, Bulgaria?

  Our infrastructure and network are both physically located in Bulgaria's capital - Sofia. We currently provide servers in only one location due to the fact that our equipment is based here and because we are familiar with the security procedures as well as the standards that are applied at the datacenter. Because of this, we can assure you that you have your privacy securely protected at all times.

• Can I use it for torrenting, Netflix or any media?

  Yes, downloading torrents, watching Netflix or any other media services are allowed. We do not limit any services/websites, the only limit you have is your internet speed and monthly bandwidth.

• Can’t I just create my own private VPN server?

  While possible, creating and especially maintaining your own dedicated VPN can be a tough and especially time-consuming task. A VPN can be installed on our normal VPS servers manually through the server console, information about which can be found in our documentation. However, that does require some technical experience. Instead you can go for one of our traffic-optimized, simple to configure VPN servers, which will alleviate a lot of the tedious and laborious work that you would otherwise need to do manually.

• What protocols do you support for your dedicated VPN service?

  Our dedicated VPN services support the following protocols - OpenVPN, L2TP, SoftEther and WireGuard.

• How are DNS requests handled?

  DNS request and all other traffic is routed and encrypted through  the installed protocol on the VPN server, ensuring that your  identity remains undisclosed and your privacy - protected.

• Do you accept crypto payments?

  Yes, we do accept Bitcoin and Litecoin payments as well as Bitcoin transactions made through the Lightning Network. We strongly support these alternative transaction methods as they are not only more secure and  privacy-oriented, but also cheaper in relation to international fees.

• Does VAT apply to European Union customers?

  VPS.BG is obliged to collect VAT (Value Added Tax) for customers that reside in the EU. VAT is not applied to Business or Charity customers that can provide a valid VAT registration.
