I built a VPN application for iOS and Android (still working on it) that uses user's DigitalOcean, AWS, or GCP to log in via OAuth2 or API token and create a VPN server so that only the user can connect and use.

However, I still can think of any monetization except Ads (which I don't think will help because the VPN server also include ad-blocker). The only monetization might be donation. But if anyone has any idea I would be glad to listen to.

Btw, the link to side-project: https://www.zudvpn.com GitHub: https://github.com/zudvpn/ZudVPN

At ZudVPN (https://zudvpn.com) we use Caddy to retrieve certificates for subdomain.zudvpn.com where they are later used for VPN connections instead of web server. This makes us be able to issue personal VPNs secured with SSL/TLS on any major Cloud Providers. I would thank both Caddy and Let's Encrypt that opens endless opportunities around secure connection.

You cannot connect to the internet without an IP address. However, ZudVPN servers are disposable. This means that you can always destroy the server and create another VPN with completely new IP address that is assigned by cloud providers.

ZudVPN

Single time I wanted to use filter to find a specific thing and at the same time see this thread in HN :/
