In case you're looking to build your own and rely on existing software, we built an easy way to create a VPN and deploy it to digital ocean or rackspace, in a single click.<p>Check it out here: <a href="https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/vpn/new" rel="nofollow">https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/vpn/new</a>
People looking to set up their own VPN server are missing the point. Your run-off-the-mill hoster is not any more trustworthy than a run-off-the-mill VPN provider so you aren't gaining anything security-wise. In fact you are losing (slightly) by having your traffic exiting the tunnel stick out where with a shared IP extra effort (potentially non-trivial) would be required to tell your traffic apart from that of other users. A subscription with a reputable VPN provider costs less or as much as a VPS with a reputable VPS provider, so you aren't gaining anything cost-wise either.<p>If you do it for the skillz, sure, but otherwise it's completely pointless.<p>Edit: Just to make it clear, that wasn't directed at the project here, but at some of the comments in this and other VPN-related threads. Another VPN protocol and implementation is always cool. (although Windows users need love too)
Not much point in serving .sig's and your PGP key if its over HTTP. Unless you're already in someone's WOT, there's nothing to verify against. At least if you use HTTPS we can somewhat trust that we're being displayed the key you think we should be displayed.
The blog cypherpunks.ru written in Russian contains a lot of spelling and grammar errors, as well as typos, which to me indicates the quality of the content in general.
Anyone knows the best current way to install a VPN on Ubuntu?<p>I've tried several times, it's way more difficult than I thought, and when I've some success, performance is, at best, disappointing. And that's using 1GB/s dedicated server.
I haven't personally used it, but I've heard nothing but good things about SoftEther:<p><a href="https://www.softether.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.softether.org/</a><p>It supports SSL VPN to boot.
