    Creating a VPN
    Hello.

    So following my question on the 'TOR Network' thread, I have set up a thread regarding VPN creation. I thought it might be useful to call this something general in case anybody else wanted to know how to do something similar.

    (Original post by mfaxford)

    What I would like to achieve is to securely encrypt my data from my node and disguise my IP whilst browsing. I would like to do this for personal safety and privacy. As a result, if you (or anybody else contributing to this thread) could perhaps help me in achieving this, I would be grateful. I am not sure that I have posted everything you need but I will be happy to add to this post if needs be.

    Thank you.

    Not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve.

    Unless You're mass-selling drugs, guns and illegal porn (Your username doesn't inspire a lot of trust in this scenario either), in which case I don't fancy helping you out; otherwise a proxy/a VPN connection is more than sufficient security for generic browsing.

    You can also program a dynamic cloak (Where you connect via a different proxy per request/every x amount of time) but that'll seriously halt speed.

    No offence intended, but I'm very curious as to what you're trying to hide. Must be pretty bad.

    Anyway, the only weakness in Onionage that I'm aware of is at the exit node, so if you wanna protect anything, that's where you should be looking. An SSL should be sufficient to deal with that issue.

    Why don't you just use a vpn service, there are plenty out there all over the world, no need to concern yourself with the intricacies of setting up it all up from scratch just connect to it.
