What is a cheap VPN alternative that actually works?
Think of having a deal with rarecloud.io, 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 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.

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.

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.
