How to Build a VPN Using SurferCloud’s Cloud Server

In 2025, privacy matters more than ever. With increasing government regulations, ISP tracking, and data collection, more users are turning to self-hosted VPNs for privacy, security, and control. Instead of paying high fees to third-party VPN providers with limited servers, you can create your own VPN on a SurferCloud VPS and enjoy complete ownership of your data.

With SurferCloud’s UHost and ULightHost cloud servers, setting up a secure, fast, and anonymous VPN has never been easier — and it starts at just $6.75/month.

Step 3: Install OpenVPN or WireGuard

Once your SurferCloud VPS is live, SSH into your server:

ssh root@your_server_ip

Then choose one of these two options:

Option A — OpenVPN Setup

apt update && apt install openvpn easy-rsa -y make-cadir ~/openvpn-cacd ~/openvpn-ca ./easyrsa init-pki ./easyrsa build-ca ./easyrsa gen-req server nopass ./easyrsa sign-req server server

This creates SSL keys for secure VPN access.

Option B — WireGuard Setup (Recommended)

apt update && apt install wireguard -y wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

WireGuard offers better speed and lower latency than OpenVPN — ideal for streaming or gaming.

---

Step 4: Configure Firewall & Security

Enable UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) to protect your VPN:

ufw allow ssh ufw allow 1194/udp ufw enable

For WireGuard, replace 1194 with 51820.

Step 5: Connect Your Devices

Once the VPN is configured:

• Export the .ovpn or .conf file
• Import it into your phone or PC
• Enjoy a private, secure internet connection powered by SurferCloud VPS
