🖥️ VPS Hosting & Server Recommendations
A fast and reliable server environment is key to getting the best performance from Leap — especially if you’re using latency-sensitive modes such as Sniper, Copytrader, or AFK. While you can run Leap on any modern Windows or macOS machine, using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) near your node’s location can significantly reduce latency and improve consistency.
🌍 Server Location
For the best performance, choose a VPS located in the same region or city as your RPC or gRPC node. This minimizes the physical distance your connection must travel, reducing transaction delay and network latency.
Recommended pairing:
🇺🇸 Virginia (Leap Pro default)
Virginia / East Coast, USA
VA, IAD, US-EAST
🇩🇪 Frankfurt (Leap Pro backup)
Frankfurt / Central Europe
DE, FRA, EU-CENTRAL
🌏 User-owned node
Same city or region as your RPC
e.g., AMS for Amsterdam, SG for Singapore
💡 Matching your VPS location to your node region results in faster transaction submission and more reliable performance.
⚙️ Recommended VPS Specifications
Leap is lightweight, but running multiple concurrent tasks or scrapers benefits from higher specs. Choose a VPS plan based on how many tasks you intend to run at once.
Minimum (suitable for light usage):
2 CPU cores
4 GB RAM
20 GB SSD storage
Stable wired network connection (100 Mbps+)
Recommended (for frequent or multi-mode use):
4+ CPU cores
8 GB RAM or higher
NVMe SSD storage
Windows Server 2019+ or Windows 11 OS
🧠 Best Practices
Match your VPS region to your node region (e.g., Virginia or Frankfurt for Leap Pro users).
Avoid public Wi-Fi or shared environments for bot trading.
Keep your system clock synchronized — accurate timestamps are critical for transactions.
Reboot your VPS occasionally to clear stale sessions or cached processes.
Ensure Windows updates and security patches are enabled.
