Home-Built VPN

  • I established a server in Georgia using Linode.
  • Used OpenVPN as a protocol for my VPN as it is great with mobile devices.
  • Improved the default security and latency by configuring it to use TLS 1.3.
  • Set the TLS-crypt to TLS-Crypt2 as it uses a unique key per user profile.
  • Finally, I disabled logs by going into the Configuration Files and where the OpenVPN process is executed to disable log monitoring though a file text editor (nano) inside in an SSH terminal.
