Readers will need to have some experience setting up and administering Linux server. I also decided to document this experiment, both for my own reference and in the hope that it will be useful for someone else. Note that I’m not setting up a VPN service for the whole family, all my friends and some additional people, all I’m trying to do is secure some of my online communications a little bit more. I only really needed to protect my most sensitive device - my personal travel laptop.Īs I’m already a customer at Vultr (affiliate link) I decided to just spin up another of their tiny instances and set it up as my WireGuard VPN server. I also didn’t want to spend the whole weekend trying to set it up, which is how WireGuard entered the picture. Ideally I intended to this on the cheap and learn something in the process. After seeing one too many ads for VPN services on bad late night TV I finally decided I needed to do something about it. In other words, the type of networks you really want to do your online banking, ecommerce and other potentially sensitive operations on. Part of the pleasure is having to deal with day-to-day online life on open, potentially free-for-all hotel and conference WiFi.
