Using Pi 3 B+ to create a VPN?

1

Hi everyone, am looking to use a Pi 3 B+ to create a VPN instead of paying for software every year ?
Does anyone have experience with this ?
Is the starter kit all I need ?
I would appreciate any help

Regards
Albert

Hi Albert!

What do you need your VPN to do?

Are you looking for private access to your internal network from abroad?

Or are you just looking to mask your traffic from your ISP or get around geoblocking?

This will influence the kind of system you’ll have to build.

Hi Albert,

Don’t start a new topic when you want to continue the discussion, just reply to your thread or someone’s post in your thread, keeps the clutter down :slight_smile:

I could find quite a few guides on google about your desired configuration (routing all the traffic of your home through your Pi, and thus a VPN)

This one seemed to be the least about selling you a VPN service, and most about instructing:
