About This Feature
VPS for Self-Hosted VPN in the UK from Glitch Servers provides scalable virtual infrastructure running on bare-metal AMD Ryzen hardware - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Self-hosting a VPN on a UK VPS gives you privacy guarantees that commercial VPN services cannot match: you know exactly where your traffic exits, you control the logging policy (which can be none), and you choose the protocol and encryption settings. Our KVM VPS plans provide the tun/tap device access that WireGuard and OpenVPN require - unlike some OpenVZ-based competitors that restrict these kernel interfaces. WireGuard in particular performs exceptionally well on our AMD Ryzen infrastructure, with throughput often exceeding 1Gbps on a single connection due to WireGuard's in-kernel implementation.
Performance on Glitch VPS plans is driven by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - single-core clock speeds that handle application workloads, database queries, and concurrent web traffic without the CPU credit limits that cap performance on burstable cloud instances. Storage runs on NVMe Gen4 drives with sequential read speeds of 3,500 MB/s, eliminating the I/O bottleneck that affects VPS plans running on SATA SSD or shared SAN.
Glitch Servers operates AS212868 with direct peering at LINX and LONAP - the London Internet Exchange and London Access Point - providing low-latency paths to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs without unnecessary Continental European hops. For users connecting across the UK, that translates to consistent single-digit-to-low-double-digit millisecond round-trip times under normal UK network conditions.
Every plan includes Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation operating at the network edge. Traffic scrubbing runs continuously without latency penalty, absorbing volumetric floods before they reach the hypervisor layer. Full plan specifications and pricing are on the UK VPS hosting page.
Key Benefits
Every plan includes these capabilities as standard - no tier-gating, no hidden extras.
KVM virtualisation - not OpenVZ - means the tun and tap kernel interfaces work. WireGuard, OpenVPN, and Algo VPN all deploy cleanly.
WireGuard's in-kernel module on AMD Ryzen achieves 800Mbps+ throughput - enough for a team of 20+ concurrent VPN users.
UK-based IP addresses that pass geo-restriction checks for UK streaming and banking services.
Your VPS runs on dedicated resources. We do not inspect or log your VPN traffic. Set your own logging policy - including none.

Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Setting up WireGuard or OpenVPN on a UK IP to route traffic through a trusted, self-controlled server - no logs, no third-party VPN provider, no shared IP reputation risk.
Businesses running their own VPN gateway for secure remote access to internal services - a self-hosted VPN server avoids the per-seat cost of commercial VPN services for team access.
Penetration testers and security professionals who need a clean UK exit node for testing geo-restricted applications or maintaining separation between research traffic and personal connections.
