Evoxt was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Malaysia. It is a highly cost-effective overseas cloud computing provider. Its data center footprint spans North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. With support for Alipay, PayPal, and cryptocurrencies, along with high-performance hardware such as AMD EPYC processors, Evoxt has built a strong reputation among developers and cross-border business users.
On December 23, 2024, Evoxt officially moved its headquarters to Aspire Tower in KL Eco City, downtown Kuala Lumpur. In general, when a company relocates its headquarters, its corresponding data center performance is often considered more reliable, and Evoxt’s Malaysia region is also worth attention. More related reviews will be published later.
This article provides a detailed review of Evoxt’s Montreal, Canada VM-0.5 plan, including system information, disk I/O performance, China telecom/Unicom/Mobile routing analysis, and streaming unlock testing, helping users choose overseas cloud servers more effectively.

Basic Performance Testing
- CPU performance: Powered by the latest AMD EPYC-Genoa processor, with a Geekbench 5 single-core score of up to 1594, which is top-tier among low-cost VPS offerings and handles high-load tasks easily.
- Memory bandwidth: Single-thread read/write speeds reach 61,878 MB/s and 37,544 MB/s respectively, showing excellent memory performance.
- IP quality: The IP is identified as a datacenter IP, with a fraud risk score of 0 (very low risk), meaning it is clean and trustworthy.
Network Quality Analysis (Routing Deep Dive)
Because Montreal is located in eastern North America, far from China, latency is generally around 200ms–300ms.
1. Outbound Routing Analysis
- Telecom outbound: From Jiangsu Telecom → Shanghai Telecom international exit → San Jose (US) → HE.NET backbone across the US → Montreal.
- Unicom outbound: From Fujian Unicom → Beijing Unicom exit → Frankfurt (Germany) → HE backbone across the Atlantic → Canada. This “global detour” increases latency.
- Mobile outbound: From Guangzhou Mobile → Los Angeles → Zayo backbone → Denver, Chicago, Toronto → Montreal.
2. Return Routing Analysis
Return paths are more complex, involving multiple carrier mixes:
- Telecom return: Cogent → UK/Netherlands → China Telecom (163 network). Although it passes through Europe, stability is acceptable due to good interconnection.
- Unicom return: HE/Zayo → Los Angeles/San Jose → China Unicom (AS4837). This is relatively direct and performs best among the three networks.
- Mobile return: HE or Cogent → Los Angeles/Hong Kong → China Mobile CMI.
Streaming Unlock Test
This is one of Evoxt Montreal’s biggest highlights. According to tests, the IP is a broadcast IP but has very strong unlocking capabilities:
- Netflix: Native unlock (Canada region)
- Disney+: Native unlock
- YouTube Premium: Unlocked
- ChatGPT: Native unlock
- Amazon Prime Video: Unlocked
Note: TikTok and Spotify may occasionally be blocked or fail to unlock.
Final Summary & Recommendation
Advantages:
- Extreme performance: AMD EPYC-Genoa delivers performance exceeding many higher-priced VPS plans.
- Excellent unlocking: Fully supports Netflix and ChatGPT.
- Convenient payment: Supports Alipay, making it easy to purchase.
- Very low price: Under $3/month, extremely cost-effective.
Disadvantages:
- High latency: Due to Canada’s geographical location, it is not suitable for latency-sensitive gaming services.
- Limited storage: Entry plan only includes 5GB storage, suitable only for lightweight scripts or proxy usage.
Recommendation:
If you need a cost-effective North America backup server with clean IPs and strong streaming unlock capability, Evoxt Montreal VPS is an excellent choice.
