no, the rpi is low on ram and cpu so adding virtual private servers to it would be silly.

But can it be done?

[elatllat]

Yes

Why don't you simply use the Pi itself as server instead (completely dropping virtualistion) ?
That make more sense IMHO.

From past experience this kind of question usually revolves around gaining access to a site/service that are geoIP (country) locked and the established route to getting past it is to use a VPS, usually in another country and is often a paid-for service. Unfortunately many assume that its the fact that its a VPS that does the magic, when its actually the location of the VPS. The Pi as a VPS won't help at all in this scenario.

Would it be possible for you to explain how, or link me too something that does explain it?

Thank you.
