What is a cheap VPN alternative that actually works?
Think of having a deal with rarecloud.io (https://rarecloud.io/vps-for-vpn/), how good are they?

[Aashiq_Wesley]

I use InterServer’s $2.40/month VPS (locked with coupon JV-20-LIFE) and have WireGuard running before coffee is ready.

If you’re looking for a VPN alternative that really works, you might consider using buy residential rotating proxies (https://lightningproxies.net/products/residential-proxies) instead. They offer real household IPs that change often, which helps you avoid blocks and appear as normal traffic.

Thanks a lot, dudes.
Are there any other points of view concerning rarecloud.io VPN deals?

[transilvania]

Get a VPN-ready VPS from RareCloud.io - €11.50/year vs €60-100/year for commercial VPNs. Plus you own the server so no shared IPs or logs.

PrivadoVPN

One of the cheapest truly functional VPNs. According to TechRadar, it is available for ~US$1.11/month in a 2-year plan.
TechRadar

Good security, and enough servers for casual use.
TechRadar

Smaller server network, so not the fastest everywhere.
TechRadar

Ivacy VPN

Mentioned by some budget-VPN guides as very cheap.
techhbs.com

Large server count, supports streaming and P2P.

Hide.me (Free)

If you want free. Hide.me has a free plan, and surprisingly decent features: supports multiple protocols, has a kill switch.
TechRadar

But free plans usually come with limitations (servers, speed, etc.).

Amnezia VPN (Self-hosted)

If you’re okay with a more technical setup: Amnezia VPN is open-source, and you can run it on your own server or VPS.

Very cost effective if you already have a cheap cloud server — but more work to set up.

RareCloud VPN-ready VPS is the way to go. €19.90/year for their Advanced plan with 6TB bandwidth. Way better than subscription VPN services.
Black Friday from them is also attractive - Up to 82% OFF annual • 55% lifetime recurring monthly.
