01 /Your server, your exit
The ProofKit agent runs on any VPS you control, as an edge entry or an origin exit. You decide the location, capacity, and policies. Traffic exits from your machine, not a shared commercial pool of thousands of strangers.
Self-hosted
Self-Hosted VPN Infrastructure You Control
Install the ProofKit agent on your own VPS and run a VLESS Reality node you operate. Keep it public on the marketplace or private and invite-only. ProofKit handles billing, proofs, and TON settlement; you own the server and the exit.

02 /ProofKit handles the hard parts
You do not build billing, key management, or payments. The coordinator meters bandwidth, runs proof checks, and settles payouts to your TON wallet, while the agent manages XRay or WireGuard and system tuning. It is self-hosted infrastructure with the plumbing solved.
03 /Public, or private and invite-only
List your node on the marketplace to earn from any user, or flip it private so only your invite allowlist can connect. Either way pricing is pay-per-GB and funds sit in non-custodial TON escrow.

Common questions
Is this fully self-hosted with no coordinator?
No. You self-host the VPN node — the server your traffic exits from. The ProofKit coordinator still brokers discovery, billing, proofs, and TON settlement, which is what turns a lone VPS into a paid, verifiable node.
What do I need to run a node?
A VPS and the ProofKit agent, installed with one command. The agent sets up XRay or WireGuard, system tuning, and the connection to the coordinator. See the operator guide for details.
Can I keep it just for myself?
Yes. Toggle the node private and generate invites. It is hidden from the public marketplace and restricted to your allowlist. See the Private VPN node page.

Start self-hosting a node
Pick a route by country, price, uptime, and proof status. Pay only for traffic you actually use. Unused TON balance is withdrawable from the escrow, subject to pending charges.
