  • outline-apps

    Outline Client and Manager, developed by Jigsaw. Outline Manager makes it easy to create your own VPN server. Outline Client lets you share access to your VPN with anyone in your network, giving them access to the free and open internet.

  • Vultr, Digital Ocean and Linode have "one-click" OpenVPN access server. But unless you're really newb (your history suggests otherwise), instead of using those one-click options that only give you free two simultaneous connections (it's the limitation of OpenVPN commercial offering), you're probably better off with getting whatever VPS you like in those countries and run installer scripts like pivpn.io (despite the name, it actually works well on any Debian & Ubuntu VPS), Angristan's WireGuard or OpenVPN script if you use non-Debian based distros, or OutlineVPN (which even allow setting up without going to the terminal if you use Digital Ocean), where you can have as many simultaneous connections as the VPS can support (which, surprisingly is a lot even if you go with the cheapest $5 monthly package).

  • wireguard-install

    WireGuard VPN installer for Linux servers
