The website https://upvpn.app is hosted on Fly.io as identified in the comments below. VPN servers are not hosted on Fly.io

Thank you for your feedback, making a note to improve it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Your comment beautifully describes why upvpn exists: It saves you time and makes it hassle free if you're setting up VPN servers.

Thank you for constructive feedback, pricing calculator is a good idea.

Taking any feedback and criticism is part of being on Hacker News.

I get your "tired of subscription" sentiment, it resonates with lot of us for certain products.

Even if someone can spin up VPN server, UpVPN makes it much much quicker and hassle free to do it with one click or one cli command.

Opening account is free. There is no per-month cost.

$10 is a prepaid balance you start with (which never expires) and consume by using UpVPN. One you run out of balance say few months down the line - you purchase again.

I like your analogy of gym membership to other VPN providers!

If I may use analogy to describe UpVPN - its like buying Milk - you pay upfront you bring it home consume it and go to grocery store and buy more.

UpVPN is an option in spectrum of VPN providers. Only you can determine based on your usage if this option makes sense for you.

What UpVPN does provide (unlimited devices without subscription and your never expiring balance stays if you come back months later) other providers do not. And vice-versa UpVPN for its pricing model does not provide unlimited usage.

I agree its a misnomer, however appropriate to technically describe whats happening in one word.

Its a computing model people recognize .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing

If you use the UpVPN app it configures DNS=1.1.1.1 and not configurable yet.

However, when you use Web Devices, a configuration file or QR code is generated with DNS=1.1.1.1 but you can change it before using.
