Hello guys!, im new to steemit and decide to share something some of you may find interesting. Most people that use vpn services to remain anonymus decide to pay 8-12$ monthly for a vpn provider that might have blacklisted ips on the service you are trying to use with the vpn. Today im showing you how to build your own vpn server with a dedicated vps linux machine in 10 minutes, easy and cheap.
What do we need?
- Cheap VPS from OVH (kimsufi.com)
- OpenVPN installation script
- A brain
How do we do it?
First you will have to go to http://www.kimsufi.com and rent the cheapest VPS (3$/month) more than enough for our purpose. I recommend choosing debian 8 as your main OS. Partitioning settings default.
Once we get the ssh access details in our mail we download putty (ssh client) from http://www.putty.org/ and access to our machine with the details.
Now we will have to download OpenVPN installation script to make our life easy and have the vpn configured in 5 minutes. Execute these commands:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install/master/openvpn-install.sh
chmod +x openvpn-install.sh
Now to run the installation script:
./openvpn-install.sh
Follow the installation instructions (very easy to understand), you can use the default setting for most of the steps, here there are some preview screenshots from the repo project.
Once you finished the steps you will have your VPN server 100% configured and have a .ovpn file in the directory where you executed the script. That file is the one that you will need to connect from your client to the server, and thats it! easy :)
