Best vps for a selfhosted vpn?
My budget is 5$ a month but I would prefer to go under it. I would want to have upgrade options in case I needed a server for something else and I would like to have multiple ip's. I live in poland, so I would prefer to have servers nearby. I also have 1Gb internet, so I would prefer something that supports it.

Check out https://lowendbox.com , I've been using racknerd for several years now, mine is a 20G SSD, 1c,1.5G, 1Gb port with a dedicated IP, 1TB/mo KVM at ~$16/year, they even have a cheaper options with less ram.
Edit: for EU, they now offer servers in France.
Racknerd has been great for me too. I was skeptical because of the cost but they have been bulletproof. I even got on their double bandwidth deal last year
Hetzner, I would second that. But OP, please be aware that IPv4 IP's are now rather expensive due to exhaustion and are around an avg of $2-4 per IP with most providors. You will be hard to even get two within your budget alone, without including the VPS recorces.
Just my two cents.
IONOS 1 € / 2 USD VPS
Unlimited traffic up to 1 Gbit/s
1 vCore 1 GB RAM 10 GB Disk

To weak for netbird, but more than enough for vanilla wireguard.
And IONOS has a nice firewall in the web ui. The do not offer snapshots
Hetzner VPS.
Oracle 'free tier' ARM instance on Pay-As-You-Go plan. Will be free providing you don't go over 10TB per month egress traffic. 'Up to' 4gig bandwidth but tbh I rarely get that much over 1.
Ignore the 'but Oracle bad' crowd. If you don't like them just use them even harder, they're not getting a dime from you treat them like shit for all I care.
Ignore the 'but they delete your server' crowd. It's literally only running a VPN, if the host ever gets taken away just move on to your second-choice from this posts suggestions.
And by Gb i mean the one with a small b, so it's 125MB per second and 1Gb per second
I've used Ramnode for a while and it was good. Tech support was very responsive. Massive (cheap) series VPS' may fit your budget. I also installed OpenVPN to KVM vps. They have some servers in NL too.
But, even they offered 1 Gb connection in the past, I don't think they still do. Need to check.
I would get the cheapest ($2/month) VPS from BuyVM if your just using it for VPN. You have the option to upgrade to more if you want in the future too.
Ive been using scaleway for a number of years now; they have servers in Warsaw and prices are reasonable. Their support is also rather good, from the times I've needed it
