Ask HN: VPN for Traveling Abroad to Turkey

2 pointsby standcraftedover 3 years ago
Hello. I&#x27;ll soon be traveling for work overseas to Istanbul for approx 1.5 months. In preparation, I was evaluating the need for a) a VPN and b) device for personal use.<p>I was wondering if anyone had any experiences they could share. Ultimately, what risks should I consider when using my personal device while in Turkey for casual streaming, social media, and banking?<p>My initial reviews of VPNs have provided in mix results. I understand many VPNs and domains are blocked. Will a VPN provide me any advantages?

I use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mullvad.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mullvad.net</a> on their wireguard without any issue: not that fast: so many IPs you can choose from<p>my advice: rent yourself a little server, and install wireguard yourself: very easy, very effective the cheapest <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hetzner.com&#x2F;cloud" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hetzner.com&#x2F;cloud</a> will work perfectly<p>(you know yourself you need to setup your VPN *before* traveling)

If you will still have your home Internet just set up a VPN on your router&#x27;s configuration page. It&#x27;s really easy and I just used the router&#x27;s factory firmware to do it.
