HushVPS Reviews — Rated 4.65/5 by real customers

Running a Tor middle relay on the Spectre plan for 9 months. HushVPS explicitly welcomes middle relays and obfs4 bridges in the ToS, which almost no mainstream host does. Sustained ~35 Mbps, zero abuse complaints forwarded. Paid 18 months upfront in XMR, no identity ever requested.

obfs4 bridge helping users in a censored country reach Tor. HushVPS understands the ecosystem — the rare abuse notice is forwarded with a note that they get what a bridge is, instead of nuking the server. Bandwidth allocation is generous and consistent. This is what privacy hosting should look like.

Built a full privacy stack on a Wraith node: WireGuard, a SearXNG instance and Nextcloud. XMR payment confirmed in 12 minutes and the VPS was auto-provisioned. Six months, one pre-announced maintenance reboot. The NVMe I/O is genuinely fast, not oversold.

SecureDrop-style intake as a Tor onion service on an Iceland node. The fact that HushVPS itself cannot tie the server to my identity adds a real layer to source protection. Encrypted disk, XMR, throwaway contact. Uptime perfect, network clean.

Four middle relays across their NL and RO locations. Consistent flags, good consensus weight, never once questioned what the servers were for. Renewed all four annually in one XMR transaction. The most relay-friendly host I have found in three years.

Vendor-less onion catalogue (info only) on a Spectre. Onion service setup was straightforward and the host never asked what it was for, within the AUP. Latency over Tor is fine and the node has not gone down once in 4 months.

Moved off a big-three provider the day they demanded an ID scan. HushVPS asked for nothing but an XMR payment and a username. The Wraith node runs my Monero full node plus a Lightning routing node without breaking a sweat.

Hosting a BTCPay + Monero payment processor for my shop. Zero KYC on the host matters when your whole point is privacy-preserving payments. XMR billing, clean IP, and the Spectre plan handles the node plus processor comfortably.

Second obfs4 bridge, distributing to users behind heavy DPI. HushVPS is one of the very few hosts that both allows this and understands it. Bandwidth steady, IP not on any blocklist I could find. Renewed for another year in XMR.

Self-hosting mailcow on a Spectre. IP had clean reputation and rDNS/PTR was set through a ticket in about 20 minutes. Only reason for 4 stars: port 25 is closed by default and you must ask support to open it. Deliverability to Gmail and Proton has been solid since.

Public Monero remote node on a Wraith so others can connect privately. NVMe handles the chain sync and the generous bandwidth soaks up the RPC traffic. XMR-only billing on a host that also runs an XMR node — full circle. No complaints in 8 months.

Three instances for separate client projects. Network is stable, low latency from Frankfurt, and no ticket has ever sat unanswered more than a few hours. The lack of a public status-page history is my only nitpick, but my own monitoring shows 99.96% over 4 months.

Matrix Synapse homeserver for a privacy-focused community on a Wraith. Postgres on NVMe, federation flawless, and the jurisdiction reassures our members. XMR billing keeps the whole thing unlinkable. 10 months in, my monitoring shows 99.98%.

Running a Nym mixnode. Bandwidth is real and generous — I have pushed several TB in a month with no throttle or surprise invoice. The Icelandic renewable-energy angle is a nice bonus for a privacy project.

Another middle relay, this one in Bucharest. Same story as my others: set up in minutes, XMR paid, consensus weight ramped over a week and stable since. HushVPS treats relay operators as first-class, not a liability.

WireGuard exit for my whole household on a Phantom node. Latency from France is 14 ms, throughput saturates my 500/500 fibre. The privacy jurisdiction plus Monero-only billing is exactly why I moved off a mainstream VPN. Set up in under 15 minutes with their guide.

Running a Snowflake proxy plus an obfs4 bridge on one Spectre. Helping censored users get online is the whole point and HushVPS makes it easy and cheap. No hassle, no questions within the AUP, XMR paid a year out.

Public Invidious instance on a Wraith. Handles a surprising amount of traffic. When my IP got a YouTube soft-block, support rotated it within a day, no questions, no extra fee. That responsiveness on an anonymous host genuinely surprised me.

Vaultwarden (Bitwarden) for my family on a Phantom. Followed their self-hosting guide, had it behind Caddy with HTTPS in 30 minutes. Encrypted disk plus Swiss jurisdiction is peace of mind for a password vault. Runs on almost no resources.

Stalwart mail server on a Spectre. Encrypted disk, XMR payment, full control over my own mail with no third party. PTR and rDNS set quickly. Six weeks of clean deliverability so far. Exactly the sovereignty I wanted.

Small PeerTube instance on a Wraith. Renewable-energy datacentre matters for a video project's footprint. Transcoding is CPU-heavy but the 4 vCPU handle 1080p fine. Bandwidth generous, no throttle observed over 5 months.

WireGuard + Pi-hole + Unbound on a Phantom for ad-blocking DNS on the go. Costs less than a coffee per month in XMR, latency is negligible, and I control every hop. Running untouched since I set it up.

Onion-only mirror of my clearnet site so censored readers can reach it. Setup was quick and the host is genuinely indifferent to what you run within the AUP. Over Tor the mirror is responsive and has stayed up for months.

Gitea + Woodpecker CI on a Spectre for my solo projects. No US cloud, no KYC, XMR paid. CI runners build my Go binaries quickly on the NVMe. The order-token system makes support painless without an email trail.

Phantom plan running a private SearXNG for a small community. Plenty for the workload. I wish there were more OS templates — I installed Alpine via the rescue console manually. Once up, rock solid for 5 months. Support answered a DNS question in about 2 hours.

rTorrent + ruTorrent on a Wraith as a private seedbox. 8 TB bandwidth on the plan is plenty for my ratio needs, disk fills before bandwidth does. Would love a bigger-disk SKU. Otherwise fast and stable, XMR billing is a plus.

Lemmy instance for a niche community on a Wraith. Federation and image uploads work. The 8 GB RAM is enough for our size. A managed Postgres option would be nice but self-managing is fine. Reliable and genuinely anonymous to run.

Honest 3 stars: the product is great but onboarding docs assume you already know Linux well. As a relative beginner I struggled with the rescue console and IPv6 setup. Support got me through it but it took a couple of days. Once running, reliable.

WireGuard for family in a censored region, wrapped in a simple stunnel to beat DPI. Works reliably. Would love a one-click obfuscation template — had to set it up by hand — but performance and stability are excellent for the price.

Ghost blog + a small Postgres on a Spectre. Snappy, NVMe makes the admin panel instant. Paid a year in XMR, no account friction. For a privacy writer who does not want a US host holding the content, this is ideal.

FreshRSS on a Phantom, tiny footprint, always up. I moved it here specifically because I wanted my reading habits off a mainstream cloud. XMR billing and a username-only account mean there is nothing tying it to me.

Self-hosted GitLab runner for a project that must avoid US cloud. The Wraith plan compiles our Rust workspace fine. No provisioning API is the gap — everything is manual through the panel — but for a fixed fleet that is acceptable. Uptime flawless.

Conduit (Rust Matrix server) on a Phantom — lighter than Synapse, runs on 2 GB fine. Federation works. Docking one star because I had to open a federation port via a ticket, but support did it within the hour.

First time paying for anything in Monero and HushVPS made it painless — clear address, clear amount, fast confirmation. WireGuard VPN stable for months. Docking one star only because I wish they took Lightning too for even faster activation.

Nextcloud for a 12-person co-op on a Wraith. Handles our files and calendar fine. The 160 GB NVMe fills quickly with photos so we prune regularly; a block-storage add-on would be welcome. Stability and privacy are exactly what we needed.

Small Minecraft server for friends on a Spectre. Handles ~15 players smoothly. DDoS protection kicked in during one attack and stayed up. Java tuning was on me. Good value, would have liked a game-panel template but not a dealbreaker.

Paperless-ngx for my document archive on a Spectre, encrypted disk, Swiss node. Keeping scanned personal documents off mainstream cloud was the goal. OCR is CPU-heavy but fine for my volume. Solid, private, no complaints.

Personal WireGuard road-warrior setup on a Phantom. Rock solid on hotel and airport Wi-Fi. Only wish: a mobile-friendly config QR generator in the panel. Set it up manually and it has not dropped once in months.

Uptime-Kuma monitoring my other infra, on a Phantom. Cheap, reliable, and independent of the providers it watches. XMR billing keeps it unlinkable. Exactly the kind of small always-on box HushVPS is perfect for.

Encrypted restic backup target on a Phantom. Cheap, private, storage performance fine for nightly snapshots. I would pay for a higher-disk tier if offered — currently I stack two instances. Support confirmed there are no hidden bandwidth caps.
