Covers protocols, IPv4 options, traffic accounting and abuse handling. ## Are commercial VPN services allowed? **Yes. EDIS Global welcomes commercial VPN providers**, including paid retail services whose customers' traffic exits to the internet through EDIS Global VPS IP addresses. You may use standard KVM VPS plans for this workload. A special VPN plan or separate reseller application is not required simply because you sell VPN access to customers. Account eligibility, verification and the [Acceptable Use Policy](/getting-started/acceptable-use-policy) still apply. EDIS Global supplies the infrastructure. You operate the VPN service and remain responsible for your software, authentication, security, customer support and the traffic generated by your users. ## Protocols and capacity Our KVM VPS support VPN software including WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec and AmneziaWG, with full root access and TUN/TAP support. Published plans do not specify a fixed VPN-user or concurrent-connection limit. Practical capacity depends on the selected resources, protocol, encryption workload, packet rate and traffic profile. Test your actual workload before scaling. Review the [network port policy](/faq/ip-addresses/ports-firewalls-and-connectivity), including [outbound SMTP controls](/faq/port-25-smtp-rate-limit-policy). ## IP addresses and location selection * [Primary IPv4 replacement](/faq/ip-addresses/change-ip-address) is available. Standard allocation does not guarantee a different subnet. * [Additional IPv4 addresses](/faq/ip-addresses/order-additional-ip-address) can be added to a VPS. * [Bespoke IPv4 selection](/faq/ip-addresses/order-bespoke-ip-address) lets you choose from available addresses and prefixes. Tell us your required number of distinct /24 prefixes before ordering; inventory varies by location. * Test connectivity using the published addresses and Looking Glass on our [location pages](https://www.edisglobal.com/vps-hosting). An IP replacement cannot guarantee reachability through a particular ISP or country. External filtering can affect addresses, entire prefixes or protocols. When the primary IP is replaced, the old address stops working immediately; configure the replacement inside the VPS and update your VPN endpoint settings. ## Traffic accounting for VPN workloads **Traffic used = incoming traffic + outgoing traffic.** For example, approximately 100 GB received and 100 GB forwarded contributes approximately 200 GB to the counter, with protocol overhead affecting the total. Consider this when estimating cost per TB delivered to your customers. Each VPS has its own monthly traffic cycle. Use the [traffic accounting guide](/faq/traffic-bandwidth/traffic-stats-refill-explained), [Traffic Pool guide](/faq/traffic-bandwidth/traffic-pool) and [traffic-limit restoration guide](/faq/traffic-bandwidth/exceeding-monthly-traffic-limit-edis-global) for current rules and instructions. Auto-Hydration uses your existing Pool balance; it does not purchase more traffic automatically. ## Abuse handling Maintain a monitored contact address and a process for promptly stopping prohibited activity. The [reseller guidance](/misc/edis-global-vps-reselling-and-discount-structure) requires action on abuse messages within 24 hours. This is not a guaranteed grace period. Serious incidents may require immediate restrictions, suspension or termination under the AUP. You remain responsible for abuse originating from your customers. ## Registration and payment Provide accurate contact and billing details. Account verification and payment-provider checks may apply. Consult the [accepted payment methods](/faq/billing-lifecycle/accepted-payment-methods) guide and contact support with account-specific eligibility questions. ## Plan your deployment You can order standard VPS plans directly. For a deployment across several locations or with specific IP requirements, send us: * Target locations and number of VPS instances. * Required resources and expected monthly traffic, stating whether your estimate means metered IN + OUT traffic or volume delivered to end users. * Number of additional IPv4 addresses and distinct /24 prefixes required per location. * Expected rollout timing.
