In this video, I show you my complete step-by-step method to self-host n8n on a Hostinger VPS and then use the same VPS to create your own private proxy server. First, I compare the n8n official pricing and limitations vs self-hosting—because on self-host, you basically get unlimited usage depending on your VPS resources. I also break down Hostinger’s VPS options (KVM 1, KVM 2, etc.), what specs you get, how the monthly pricing works, and the important part many people forget: GST and renewal pricing after the long-term plan ends. Then I walk you through the exact setup: choosing server location based on latency, applying my coupon code SAHILR10 for extra discount, completing payment, setting the root password, and launching the n8n app. After that, I show how to activate the free n8n license key from inside Settings → Usage and Plan. Finally, I convert the VPS IP into a proxy using my script, set a username/password, configure the proxy port (3128), and test it using Whoer to confirm your IP is masked. One key takeaway: self-hosting gives you control, but you must take security seriously so your IP/data doesn’t leak.
