Thinking of using vpn

    Hi guys,


    I'm considering using a vpn as my usenet provider is offering a good deal on it, but as i've never used a vpn before would it be straightforward to set it up on my cs server thats running debian,? Would the ddns lines stay the same, I only have around 8 lines so would be easy to change if needed. Just a thought if I get it I may as well use on all my devices, phone, pc etc.

    VPN is a generic term (Virtual, Private Network) so not sure which variant your usenet provider is providing, but most likely there is a debian solution for whatever they use. Hard to say if it will be straightforward without knowing details...


    Also not sure what speed they are offering (and which services as some may be blocked...) so it may not be (probably not) a good idea to use it for everything...

    Thanks for the reply, it's newshosting that are the vpn provider, they gave this information

    You would have to check if they allow servers. Most are only for anonymous surfing and do not allow you to have a fixed IP address and be able to run servers to which others can connect. Basically they are just for you to connect outside anonymously, not for others to connect to you...

    There is a VPN provider called AirVPN what allows you to port forward and has a DDNS/DynDNS feature, Also allows openvpn, pptp, l2tp, android
