A personal server is your own VPN, running on P4PN's unblockable technology. It appears in no public list, and no one can connect unless you invite them — you choose the people, we supply the software and the updates.
The simplest way to always have your own VPN. You rent a small computer — called a “server” — from an internet company. It lives in a data center in another country and runs day and night, so you don't need to keep anything switched on at home. It usually costs just a few dollars a month, and ordering one takes a few minutes on the company's website, like any online purchase.
You just give us the server's address, and we set up and look after everything — no technical knowledge needed on your side. Because it sits in a country with open internet, it gives you and the people you invite a steady, reliable way around blocks.
Best for: a private, always-on server for you and a few friends or family, without keeping a computer running at home.
Set up a cloud serverTurn a computer you already own into your VPN — nothing to rent, no monthly fee. Any Mac or Windows computer works, as long as you can leave it switched on and connected to your home internet. It runs quietly in the background inside the P4PN app you already use.
The people you invite then reach the internet through your home connection. This works best when you live somewhere with open internet and want to give family or friends in a censored country a safe way out.
Best for: helping a few close people abroad when you have open, reliable internet at home.
