VPN infrastructure,
on your terms.

Your IPs, your regions, your bandwidth model. Already running hundreds of thousands of VPN exit IPs for operators serving real subscribers.

Your IPs, your reputation

VPN operators spend years building IP reputation. Don't restart from zero on every cloud.

  • BYOIP — advertise your own IPv4/IPv6 prefixes through Zenlayer's network with full ROA/RPKI control
  • Per-region exclusive IP Pool — automatically created with each CIDR; no shared tenancy on your prefixes
  • Multiple network paths — Premium BGP, Local IP, regional carrier networks
  • IPv6 /96 prefixes — up to 100 Gbps per EIP, no surcharge for dual-stack

PoPs where your subscribers connect

Your users in Riyadh, Istanbul, or Jakarta need a PoP they can reach in single-digit milliseconds.

A private backbone between them

When your subscribers connect in one region and their traffic exits another, the path stays on Zenlayer's network, not the public internet.

  • Cross-region bandwidth — in your global VPC — committed capacity between any two Zenlayer regions

A load balancer that speaks UDP

VPN protocols don't fit web-shaped load balancers. Ours does what you need.

  • All-Ports Listener — forward every port, any range, with one rule
  • TCP and UDP — natively for WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec/IKEv2
  • Backends by Instance or IP, with per-backend weights — shift traffic between exit nodes via API
  • Fail-Open health checks with custom source IP — degrade gracefully, fits tight ACLs on your exit nodes
  • Per-region DDoS protection with policy rules
  • Up to 100 Gbps per EIP on Standard, unlimited connections / CPS / QPS

Pick a machine, add bandwidth, ship in minutes

Start from a sized package or customize your own. Compute and data transfer are billed separately — a traffic-heavy region never forces you to over-provision CPU.

VPN Infrastructure FAQ

Straight answers for operators evaluating where to run their VPN fleet — protocols, IPs, regions, bandwidth, and how this differs from a generic cloud.

01Which VPN protocols can I run — WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec?
+

All of them. WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IPsec run on standard Linux instances — you bring the stack, we don't wrap it in a control plane of our own. Our load balancers sit in front of your fleet and handle both WireGuard's UDP and OpenVPN's TCP.

02Can I bring my own IP addresses (BYOIP)?
+

Yes — BYOIP is first-class. Announce your own prefixes through our network and keep the IP reputation you've already built, with no renumbering. If you don't have your own space yet, you can launch on ours and migrate later.

03Where are your PoPs, and how many regions?
+

30 regions, concentrated where subscribers actually are — the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America — all joined by a single private backbone, so traffic between your PoPs stays off the public internet.

04How is bandwidth priced for VPN traffic?
+

Priced like a VPN, not a website. Choose flat-rate, a pooled Bandwidth Cluster across your whole fleet, or pay-as-you-go, and shape it with QoS policy groups. Bandwidth scales independently of compute, so a traffic-heavy region doesn't force you to over-provision CPU.

05How is this different from a generic VPS or cloud provider?
+

A generic VPS hands you a box and an IP off a shared, often-flagged pool. We give you carrier-grade networking built for VPN traffic: BYOIP so the reputation is yours, UDP-aware load balancing, pooled bandwidth, and a private backbone between regions. You run the VPN; we run the network under it.

06Can you load-balance UDP traffic for WireGuard?
+

Yes — our load balancer speaks UDP natively, not just HTTP and TCP. WireGuard and other UDP-based protocols balance across your instances without a TCP shim in front.

07Do you support IPv6 / dual-stack?
+

Yes — instances run dual-stack with public IPv6, so you can serve subscribers on IPv6-only mobile networks without a translation layer. IPv6 address space is effectively unbounded, so it isn't metered the way IPv4 is.

Bring your prefixes, pick your regions, ship to your subscribers.
