  • docker-ipsec-vpn-server

    Docker image to run an IPsec VPN server, with IPsec/L2TP, Cisco IPsec and IKEv2

  • I use this and it works very well for me

  • streisand

    Discontinued Streisand sets up a new server running your choice of WireGuard, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, or a Tor bridge. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists.

  • If they allow you to install software on the laptop I'd probably go for something like Streisand on your server if you don't feel up to just installing the bare stuff yourself. Having said that, it's not too hard to just install OpenVPN etc. manually. Streisand would mean you're covered with various protocols though even though it's overkill.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
