The personal privacy stack
Four tools cover most personal privacy needs — and all four fit on one VPS you control:
| Tool | Job | Load |
|---|---|---|
| WireGuard | Private tunnel for your devices | ~0 CPU, RAM trivial |
| Tor bridge / Snowflake | Censorship resistance for others | Light |
| Encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT) | Clean resolution for the household | Light |
| Vaultwarden | Passwords/secrets you hold | ~100 MB RAM |
VPS from $8.50/mo. Email, a 12-character password, then a crypto invoice.
Launch nowWhy self-host the stack
A commercial VPN shifts trust to a company; public DNS sees every lookup; a cloud vault holds your secrets behind someone’s login. One box, Monero-paid, no-KYC — the trust surface shrinks to hardware you rent and keys you hold.
Build order
- WireGuard first (15 minutes, the playbook).
- Unbound or AdGuard Home for DNS.
- Vaultwarden behind TLS with 2FA.
- Snowflake proxy — zero-risk Tor contribution.
- Snapshots before each addition; the whole stack rebuilds in an hour.
Recommended setup
Plan: Pro — 8 vCPU EPYC 9454P, 24 GB DDR5 ECC, 400 GB NVMe, $27.50/mo (the whole stack idles; headroom is for TLS bursts and future tools). Location: Zurich — the natural flag for a personal privacy hub. Related: own VPN vs subscription.

Launch nowIs this stack legal?
Yes — VPNs, Tor and password managers are lawful tools everywhere we operate.
One box or four?
Start with one; split only when a tool’s failure would hurt others (e.g., move Tor bridges out later).
Why Pro for light tools?
Headroom costs $7/mo more than Plus; TLS bursts and multi-user households notice the difference.

Configure a VPS or dedicated server, set a password, then pay the invoice.
