Your Server

How to create VPN tunnel?

I own dedicated server ( debian distribution) and I'd like to use it as gateway for all my internet usage: my laptop <-all traffic encrypted--> dedicated server <---> Internet I can't find any good how-to about running such service on linux server and connecting to it. Could anyone explain how to do this in simple steps or provide links to good tutorials?

1. "SSL Explorer is a web based SSL VPN server. The technology was acquired by Barracuda Networks. Project named OpenVPN Application Layer Software (OpenVPN-ALS)" The tutorial is shown with Ubuntu server 8.04, but it shouldn't be a problem adapting it to debian because "Ubuntu and Debian are distinct but parallel and closely linked systems", (but you knew that) http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-607
2. if the server is hosted at home on a DSL or cable modem line you will experience poor performance due to the asymmetrical nature of the connection.
3. sudo apt-get install openvpn This will install OpenVPN. (Its config files will be in /etc/openvpn/) Then check here for tons of examples and How-To's: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation.html
