Overview

NoxRouteNeo turns one Linux VPS into a small self-hosted VPN appliance. The same installation provides the VPN endpoint, account management, user access, telemetry, certificates and persistent storage.

What the installer deploys

Web application

A Next.js admin and user portal protected by Better Auth and served through HTTPS.

VPN runtime

Xray with VLESS + XHTTP + REALITY, plus a per-account traffic gateway.

Local data

PostgreSQL stores accounts, devices, policies, aggregate usage and audit events. It is not publicly exposed.

Operations

DuckDNS updates, certificate management, health checks, adaptive flow capacity and a narrowly scoped security agent.

Good fit

A personal or small shared VPN on one VPS.
An administrator who wants to create local users and revoke individual devices.
A deployment where simple operations matter more than broad protocol support.
Ubuntu or Debian on amd64 or arm64.

Not a good fit

A commercial multi-node VPN control plane.
A guaranteed anonymity service.
Torrenting, spam, scanning, scraping or abusive workloads.
An environment where the VPS provider forbids proxy or VPN traffic.
A deployment that requires Windows Server or a container host without a public IPv4 address.

Next step

Continue with Install on a VPS after creating a DuckDNS subdomain and obtaining its token.
