Has anyone tried to build one on AWS or Cloudflare?

Tailscale. Super easy, cross platform and you can host it on anything. Oh and free.

Digital Ocean has a tutorial to do this:

It depend of the use but,
You need :

  • A server (Not AWS/GCP or Azure if you want to use it for legaly torrent download or more that 100GB Trafic per month)
  • WG-easy

That it.

you can buy a cheap vps and install WireGuard on that https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install

So… You want to run a remote server , badly configured in an unsafe environment , badly maintained and 100% traceable to only you ?..

Why even bother with a vpn ?

What’s your use case so people could recommend or answer your question better.

You do realize VPN’s are not only for privacy hence the full form “Virtual Private Network”.

“Badly configured in an unsafe environment and 100% traceable to you”

It can be configured in a safe environment, though. Buy yourself a Linux server from a reputable company, and make sure your password isn’t easily guessable. Then you can install something like wg-easy, which has a secure implementation of WireGuard that you could update whenever needed. It also is not 100% traceable if you choose to go that route. You could use a payment method like Monero, and a VPN like Mullvad or Perfect Privacy in a hardened browser in a VM, which would drastically reduce the 100% traceable claim.

That’s why I asked for the use case.
