* [bitclouds.sh](https://bitclouds.sh/) or [lntxbot](https://t.me/lntxbot) `/bitclouds`
* <https://bitcoin-vps.com/#VPS-Europe>
* Note that only the root user can forward to ports below 1000.
* Tor should not be the only encryption layer of the service as the traffic exposed on the VPS is meant to be for the `localhost`
* Always check the terms and rules of the VPS provider to avoid bans and don't do anything causing them trouble to keep these services going.
