OpenBSD VPS

The most security-focused operating system in the world, running on hardware we own. OpenBSD 7.8 with full root access, pf firewall, and the cleanest default install you'll find. Good luck finding another provider that offers this.

Why OpenBSD

✓
Proactive security. Only two remote holes in the default install in over 25 years. The entire codebase is continuously audited.
✓
pf firewall. The best packet filter in the BSD world. Clean syntax, powerful NAT, and rock-solid reliability.
✓
Minimal attack surface. Secure by default. Services are off unless you turn them on. No bloat, no surprises.
✓
httpd, smtpd, relayd. Production-ready daemons built into the base system. No packages needed for basic services.

Perfect for

Firewalls and VPNs

pf + WireGuard or OpenVPN. The gold standard for self-hosted network security.

DNS servers

unbound is in the base system. Run your own recursive resolver with zero extra packages.

Mail servers

OpenSMTPD ships with OpenBSD. Battle-tested, minimal config, production ready.

Security research

If you care about OS security, OpenBSD is the reference implementation. Period.

Web hosting

httpd + relayd handle most web workloads. Or install nginx from packages if you need more.

Paranoia

If you don't trust Linux, you probably run OpenBSD. We get it.
