VpnHood! SERVER
The engine of your VPN. It runs on your own machine, carries your users' traffic, and answers to nobody's infrastructure but yours.
Runs anywhere you can rent
Linux, Windows, or Docker — any VPS or dedicated machine from any provider, installed with a single pasted command.
Hard to spot, harder to block
With Cloak Mode, the tunnel is shaped to look like ordinary web traffic — and an unauthenticated probe gets a plain web-server response instead of anything worth testing.
Steadfast by design
VpnHood! ENGINE keeps the connection encrypted and stable across hostile networks, with IPv4 and IPv6 support.
Open-source and audited
Every line is public on GitHub, and the project has been audited by independent security firms. Nothing to take on faith.
Your server, your call
Two ways to run it
With VpnHood! MANAGER
The free panel installs the server for you, watches it live, and issues your access keys. The easiest path for most people.

No panel required: a built-in file-based access manager lets a single server issue its own keys, configured from a simple settings file.
