Deploy at https://nulnet.com/deploy/. ## Why this lander exists Cloudzy and XmrCloud own the “Whonix VPS” query because they put the distro name on a page. Nested virt and custom ISO are already standard on every KVM we rent, so here is the query match — with an honest sizing note: Whonix is a pair of VMs. **The 2 GB Scout is not enough.** Start at **Sentry, $6/mo on the annual term** (2 vCPU / 4 GB / 60 GB NVMe; $7.50 list), or take Ranger ($10/mo annual, 8 GB) when a workstation desktop joins the pair. ## How to do it without cargo-cult ISOs - Provision Sentry in [Reykjavik](https://nulnet.com/locations/iceland/) or [Zurich](https://nulnet.com/locations/switzerland/) when jurisdiction is the reason you searched. Every city bills the same list price. - Check the nested flag first — `grep -E 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo` — then load the nested module your distro documents. - Fetch the **official** Whonix KVM qcow2 from [whonix.org's KVM wiki](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM), verify signatures, and skip the random “Whonix ISO” mirrors. - Give the Gateway the only NIC with a default route; the Workstation reaches the internet through the Gateway and nothing else. Sizing beyond a slice: when the Gateway/Workstation pair shares the host with heavier services, [dedicated metal with IPMI and ECC starts at $38.50 list](https://nulnet.com/dedicated/); archives and media belong on [storage tiers from 1 TB to 5 TB NVMe, $24/mo annual at the entry size](https://nulnet.com/storage/).

Deploy Sentry for nested Whonix [Deploy now](https://nulnet.com/deploy/?kind=vps&plan=business/) ## Vs Cloudzy / XmrCloud They monetize the keyword. On our side: twenty-one locations, XMR at checkout, no KYC on any tier, and dedicated metal when two nested VMs on a shared host stop being the right primitive. Nested virt is part of the SKU here, not a ticket you open. ## More rankings and guides - [VPS for a privacy tools stack](https://nulnet.com/vps-for-privacy-tools-stack/) - [How to run a Tor exit relay](https://nulnet.com/how-to-run-tor-exit-relay-no-kyc/) - [Anonymous VPS opsec guide](https://nulnet.com/anonymous-vps-opsec-guide/) - [Limits of no-KYC anonymity](https://nulnet.com/limits-of-no-kyc-vps-anonymity/) - [Best privacy jurisdictions 2026](https://nulnet.com/best-privacy-jurisdictions-2026/) - [How to buy an anonymous VPS](https://nulnet.com/how-to-buy-anonymous-vps-2026/) Scout or Sentry? Sentry is the realistic floor for Gateway plus Workstation — 4 GB at $6/mo annual. The Scout's 2 GB will swap. Custom ISO besides Whonix? Any KVM-bootable x86_64 image works: pfSense, OpenBSD, NixOS and the rest. You upload it. Do you allow Tor? Relays, onion services and Whonix routing, yes. CSAM and attacks remain banned by the AUP. Is dedicated better for the whole pair? If you want Gateway and Workstation on silicon you do not share, yes — metal with IPMI and ECC starts at $38.50 list, $30.80 annual-eff. ## Primary sources - [Whonix for KVM](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM) ## Related guides - [Minimum-data no-KYC checkout](https://nulnet.com/guides/anonymous-vps-crypto-no-kyc/) - [Buy a VPS with crypto](https://nulnet.com/buy-vps-with-crypto/) - [No-KYC VPS: requirements and limits](https://nulnet.com/no-kyc-vps/) - [Pay with Monero](https://nulnet.com/monero-vps/) - [Offshore VPS](https://nulnet.com/offshore-vps/) - [VPS vs dedicated bare-metal](https://nulnet.com/guides/vps-vs-dedicated/) - [Best no-KYC VPS 2026](https://nulnet.com/best-no-kyc-vps-2026/) - [FAQ: crypto VPS](https://nulnet.com/guides/faq-crypto-vps/) ## Checkout facts - **Price** VPS from $3/mo.
