Why centron

Your VPN, your rules

A VPN is a matter of trust – the one you can trust the most is the one you run yourself.

Self-hosted

WireGuard or OpenVPN on your VM: you control the keys, logs and policies – no third party is involved.

Up and running in 15 minutes

A small VM from €3.12 per month supports a team VPN – setup scripts make configuration a breeze.

Gateway to the infrastructure

Acting as a gateway to your VPC, the VPN securely connects administrators to internal systems – without any public exposure.

Operated in a hardened state

Cloud firewalls restrict access to the VPN port; Fail2ban and key-based authentication secure the rest.

Use cases

Suitable hosting solutions for your VPN use case

Whether as a simple entry-level solution, a dedicated company VPN or a high-performance server for large teams – the most secure VPN server is the one you run yourself: on your own ccloud³ virtual machine in an ISO-certified German data centre.

Virtual machines (ccloud³)

Ideal for your own VPN instances from €3.12: as a simple entry-level solution, a small ccloud³ VM carries a team VPN with WireGuard, OpenVPN or Outline – your data stays entirely private, no logging, no data disclosure.

Managed servers

Full support and regular security updates: with a managed server, centron runs the dedicated company VPN while you focus on your core business.

Dedicated servers

Maximum performance, root access and full data sovereignty: dedicated servers for high-performance VPNs for large teams – consistently high performance and low latency with exclusive CPU.

Gateway into the virtual private cloud

As a gateway into your VPC, the VPN connects admins securely to internal systems and links sites site-to-site – secured by cloud firewalls that restrict access to the VPN port.

Team, Locations, Systems

Three VPN scenarios, one foundation

Remote staff log in securely to the company network, sites connect via site-to-site links, and maintenance access to servers now only runs via the VPN into the VPC. All on a small, hardened VM – monitored and secured.

Infrastructure & Data FAQ

Frequently asked questions

WireGuard or OpenVPN – which should I choose?

For most new set-ups WireGuard: leaner, faster, easier to configure. OpenVPN remains sensible if legacy clients or special compatibility requirements exist – on your VM you can even run both in parallel.

How do I install a VPN server on a centron VM?

Installation is either manual or automated via scripts. Our ccloud³ VMs are compatible with Ubuntu, Debian and other distributions. Detailed guides are available in the tutorials.

Is VPN hosting at centron secure?

Yes – your VPN servers run in German data centres, protected by cloud firewalls and processes certified to ISO 27001. All data is transmitted encrypted and sits on servers with physical access protection.

What advantages does VPN hosting with a dedicated CPU offer?

At centron you choose between virtual machines in the Power Pool with a guaranteed 3.5 GHz or dedicated servers. The CPU performance is thus available to you exclusively – ideal for high speeds, constant performance and low latency in VPN use.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: ccloud³ VMs from €3.12 per month and cloud firewalls from €0.00 in self-service. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

How much does a VPN server cost at centron?

VPN hosting at centron is possible from just €3.12 per month – external traffic is free. All information can be found under affordable hosting. New users receive a €200 starting credit.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes – with a VPN the decisive question is what is logged: connection data is personal data, and whoever stores it must be able to justify it. On your own VPN server at centron you determine the logging policy yourself instead of leaving it to a provider; the infrastructure underneath is located in Germany, in data centres certified to ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz with an unqualified BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud. Details can be found in the Trust Center.

Does centron offer support with VPN set-up?

Yes – you get access to our tutorials, and our support team helps you personally with questions about configuration, security or monitoring. If required, you can switch to fully managed hosting.
