Looking for advice on VPN or proxy(?) unsure what I need. Please see details. reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ashamedrailsdev · 2023-10-13 08:07 I travel quite a lot and I am getting really tired of applications, websites and businesses causing problems because I'm not at home. What I'm hoping to do is setup a self-hosted VPN or proxy in my home country (not interested in my own hardware, computers would be turned off when away from home), I am happy with a single IP address and don't care about it being tracked, but I need it to be secure. I just want every bit of traffic from my device(s) to appear to come from my home country without any possibility of others knowing I am elsewhere. Is this possible? I've been looking into Wireguard and obfuscation. I was planning to install that on a dedicated host. Is this the right direction? Appreciate any help! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-10-13 08:18 /r/VPN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-10-13 08:19 Wireguard on your router and you are all set. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jonathanhiggs · 2023-10-13 09:06 If you don’t want to think about your own hardware just pay for NordVPN or something. Otherwise you’ll need something to run a VPN server of some kind inside your firewall that you tunnel into and routed back out of that is running while you are away and it will be x100 more complicated to setup ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AdmirableAnxiety · 2023-10-13 11:24 There was this post on r/vpnreviews where someone compared VPNs and Proxies not a while back. Idk if it's exactly what you want to know but here is the link: [https://www.reddit.com/r/vpnreviews/comments/17 0hrsa/vpn\_vs\_proxy\_understanding\_the\_difference\_and/](https://ww w.reddit.com/r/vpnreviews/comments/170hrsa/vpn_vs_proxy_understanding_ the_difference_and/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ashamedrailsdev · 2023-10-13 11:48 Well aware. I asked here for a reason smart arse (self hosting). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ashamedrailsdev · 2023-10-13 11:49 Thanks, I'll have a read! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ashamedrailsdev · 2023-10-13 11:50 I was unsure about a hosted service because I want my own IP, as in one that webs/apps/etc wouldn't have logged as being part of Nord. Not sure how NordVPN works. Appreciate the feedback.
