# CreateYourVPN

> CreateYourVPN (CYV) is an online control panel for running your own VPN on your own VPS servers: a personal VPN, access for family and friends, or a paid VPN service under your own brand. CreateYourVPN does not sell VPN subscriptions and does not route traffic through its own servers: user traffic goes through the servers you connect.

Status: open beta. Last reviewed: 2026-09-17.

Key facts:

- Protocol: Xray + Reality. From the outside, the traffic looks like an ordinary secure connection to a website.
- Servers: rent any clean VPS (Ubuntu recommended, Debian also works), from about $2 a month, and enter its IP address and root password. The panel installs and secures the server in about 10 minutes. The root password is used only for the initial setup and is never stored; afterwards the panel manages the server with its own SSH key.
- End users connect with third-party Xray apps such as Happ, or through a home router (Keenetic with XKeen, OpenWRT with Nikki). There are no branded client apps.
- Managing the VPN: clusters of servers with automatic load balancing, routes, multihop, split tunneling, ad and torrent blocking, a subnet scanner for choosing a masking site, and server health monitoring.
- Your users get a personal cabinet and subscription links on a neutral domain. Selling access comes with the Max subscription: a landing page under your brand, your own domains, plans, payments through lava.top, and automatic renewals.
- Automation: a Partner API and an MCP server for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek.
- Pricing: charges come from a prepaid balance once a day. You pay per client: €0.10 a month for each client in the base, or €0.20 a month per active client; the first client is always free. Pro costs €0.99 a month: emergency access, backups of each cluster's users to Google Drive or S3-compatible storage (with a downloadable export), and master swap. Max costs €4.99 a month: everything in Pro plus the landing page, your own domains and selling. The first Pro or Max subscription starts with a free 3-day trial, once per account. Top-ups from €10 to €100 are paid by card through lava.top.
- Emergency access (OLCRTC, experimental, Pro): a slower backup connection for networks that use allow-lists. It depends on an external video-call service being reachable, and there is no emergency client for iPhone or iPad.
- Compared with self-hosted panels such as 3x-ui, Marzban and Remnawave, which you install, update and repair yourself, CreateYourVPN sets up, secures, updates and monitors your servers for you.
- Languages: the panel, website and academy are available in 34 languages.
- Security: a public security report with verifiable claims, a bug bounty program and a security journal. Contact: security@createyourvpn.com.
