To build a website like RaceVPN.com, which offers VPN services (free and paid), you need to combine several components: VPN server infrastructure, user management, subscription system, and a front-end website.
Here’s a full step-by-step guide to building your own site like RaceVPN.com:
On each VPS (Ubuntu 20.04+):
You'll be prompted to:
Repeat this for each server location.
You can use:
You can scrape some visual inspiration from RaceVPN’s HTML, but don’t copy code directly.
Use backend scripts to SSH into the VPN servers and run account generation.
Example (for OpenVPN):
Should show:
Use:
Admin should be able to:
I can generate a starter Laravel or PHP + HTML template with:
Here’s a full step-by-step guide to building your own site like RaceVPN.com:
PART 1: PLAN FEATURES YOU WANT
Features to replicate from RaceVPN.com:
Multiple VPN locations (Free and Premium)
Daily free VPN account generation
Premium account purchase and management
Server status display
User dashboard to manage VPN access
Clean, mobile-friendly front-end
Automated account creation and expiration
PART 2: INFRASTRUCTURE SETUP (VPN Servers)
Tools You'll Need:
- VPS servers (Contabo, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, etc.)
- VPN software: OpenVPN, WireGuard, or SoftEther
- Control panel (optional): Streisand, PiVPN, or custom scripts
Set Up a VPN Server (OpenVPN example):
On each VPS (Ubuntu 20.04+):
Bash:
wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh
chmod +x openvpn-install.sh
./openvpn-install.sh
You'll be prompted to:
- Set up a client name
- Enable client DNS
- Generate .ovpn file (store it for delivery)

PART 3: BACKEND DEVELOPMENT
You can use:
- PHP + MySQL (RaceVPN uses this stack)
- Or modern stack: Node.js, Python (Flask/Django), Laravel, etc.
Backend Features:
- User auth (register/login/reset)
- Free VPN account generator (daily limit per IP)
- Admin panel (add/remove servers, check logs)
- Premium account system (Stripe, PayPal integration)
- Expiry date tracking
- Server status monitor (ping check)
Database Schema Sample:
Bash:
users (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
email VARCHAR,
password_hash VARCHAR,
role ENUM('user', 'admin'),
created_at DATETIME
)
vpn_accounts (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
user_id INT,
server_id INT,
type ENUM('free', 'premium'),
created_at DATETIME,
expires_at DATETIME,
ovpn_file TEXT
)
servers (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
country VARCHAR,
ip_address VARCHAR,
type ENUM('free', 'premium'),
active BOOLEAN,
max_users INT,
current_users INT
)
PART 4: FRONTEND DEVELOPMENT
Stack:
- HTML/CSS + Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS
- JS (Vanilla or jQuery)
- Responsive layout (mobile-first)
Pages to Build:
- Home page (like RaceVPN with server cards)
- Free VPN generator
- Premium plans page
- Dashboard (login required)
- FAQ / Contact
You can scrape some visual inspiration from RaceVPN’s HTML, but don’t copy code directly.
PART 5: AUTOMATE VPN ACCOUNT CREATION
Option A: Script-based (easiest)
Use backend scripts to SSH into the VPN servers and run account generation.
Example (for OpenVPN):
PHP:
<?php
$server_ip = "your_server_ip";
$ssh_user = "root";
$client_name = "user_" . time();
$command = "echo '$client_name' | ./openvpn-install.sh --add-client";
$connection = ssh2_connect($server_ip, 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, $ssh_user, 'your_password');
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, $command);
stream_set_blocking($stream, true);
$output = stream_get_contents($stream);
// Save output to database or serve .ovpn to user
?>
PART 6: USER PANEL / DASHBOARD
Should show:- User info
- Account status
- Expiry countdown
- Button to regenerate config (if free, daily)
- Option to upgrade to premium
PART 7: PAYMENT INTEGRATION
Use:- Stripe (for credit/debit)
- PayPal
- Cryptocurrency (CoinPayments.net or NowPayments)
- Update database
- Automatically generate and deliver premium config
PART 8: ADMIN PANEL
Admin should be able to:- Add/remove servers
- View users and logs
- View server load
- Ban IPs (if abuse)
- Update scripts and expiration logic
PART 9: DOMAIN + HOSTING
- Frontend/backend: Host on shared hosting or a VPS (like Contabo)
- VPN servers: Spread across multiple VPS providers worldwide
- Use Cloudflare for DDoS protection, SSL, CDN
PART 10: OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENTS
Multi-language support
Mobile app (use WebView or native app)
Server status auto-refresh (AJAX)
Download page with multiple client formats (.ovpn, WireGuard .conf)
FULL TECH STACK SUGGESTION (LIKE RaceVPN)
Layer | Tool/Tech |
---|---|
Frontend | HTML/CSS + Bootstrap |
Backend | PHP (Laravel or raw PHP) |
DB | MySQL |
VPN Protocol | OpenVPN / WireGuard |
Automation | Shell Scripts + SSH from PHP |
Payments | PayPal / Stripe / CoinPayments |
Hosting | VPS (Contabo, Hetzner, etc.) |
Want a Ready-Made Starter Template?
I can generate a starter Laravel or PHP + HTML template with:- Login/Register system
- Free VPN generator logic
- Admin dashboard
- Bootstrap front-end with location cards
