How do you set up a VPS as a VPN

TqRTqR Member
in Help

Hello, I've watched a lot of videos and have a rough idea.
Was after a step by step guide, to creating a VPN from a VPS.
Thanks

    Behold the bold Nyr, control the globe slowly,
    Proceeds to blow, swinging swords like Shinobi.
    Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock,
    Nyr got it locked, performing live on your hottest block.

    Debian 11 KVM

    1. Install VPN server: sudo apt install wireguard

    2. Edit config file: vi wg0.conf, then enter the following:

      [Interface]
Address = 192.168.77.1/24
PrivateKey = iBI3tdpNc3QTepcfU3tOX8TsFk6p2pNCM27IqmgUOnE=
ListenPort = 51820
MTU = 1420

PostUp = iptables -I FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT
PostUp = iptables -I FORWARD -o wg0 -j ACCEPT
PostUp = iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.77.0/24 -o uplink -j MASQUERADE

PreDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT
PreDown = iptables -D FORWARD -o wg0 -j ACCEPT
PreDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s 192.168.77.0/24 -o uplink -j MASQUERADE

[Peer]
PublicKey = vXycZlVYIQICX9rmyeQErP6Mwl5CLl4PJ470qz2jLUg=
AllowedIPs = 192.168.77.2/32

      Here uplink is the network interface name that goes to the Internet.
      It's probably eth0 or ens3 on your server.
      You can see it with ip addr command.

    3. Start VPN server: sudo wg-quick up ./wg0.conf

    4. Download VPN client on your phone

    5. Enter the following config:

      • Interface name: VPN
      • Interface private key: QIU2SXaa5LR5+/ssf4OC7TyELKhYmxQBpZ2iPG/zW3I=
      • Addresses: 192.168.77.2
      • Peer public key: tuk1I/TppNWYhT928bzu9Le9lrm3vvKAnwJBPShc0hc=
      • Endpoint: VPS IP address followed by :51820
      • Allowed IPs: 0.0.0.0/0

    6. Click the toggle on VPN client app

    If you need more than one client:

    1. Run wg genkey | tee /dev/stderr | wg pubkey to generate another key.
    2. Make another [Peer] section in the wg0.conf file, change IP address, and paste the second line.
    3. In the client line, paste the first line in interface private key, paste the IP address in addresses box.

    @yoursunny, this is what I was looking for a one page set up, and how to make extra keys.
    ty
    do you know where I find the public key from the vps provider? what is it called, because I cant find it

    VPS provider doesn't give you keys.
    You can make keys with wg genkey | tee /dev/stderr | wg pubkey command, or just copy paste the keys above.

    Right, now that makes sense, because we had lessons on ocean and linode and I'm not going through those companies.
    Thanks, that part was confusing

    If you want to use Wireguard, open a new terminal and paste this:

    wget https://git.io/wireguard -O wireguard-install.sh && bash wireguard-install.sh

    If you want OpenVPN instead, open a new terminal and paste this:

    wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh

    No need to download any zip, etc.

    I find this slightly neater:

    cd /etc/wireguard; wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

    Then you always have a handy reference stored in the pubkey and privatekey files.

    You do know what you are talking about! We got shown that too, but the long way of creating a file to put the keys into. Thanks

    I always find creating a VPN easy with those scripts, but what do you guys do to get the pickier streaming services running? I always end up deleting my VPS because streaming sites still block me.

    I think a lot of services, like streaming platforms, block most datacenter IPs.

    So Outline works beautifully for me. Getting 35Mbps from the Vultr Seoul server which is plenty good for 1080p. Unfortunately, their IP range seems to be considered foreign by all my favorite streaming services lol. Will try Amazon Lightsail tomorrow.

    What I like about it is that there's a bit of handholding with the keys, which I usually have a hard time with. Keys are easy to generate and send. The dashboard also gives you a traffic usage summary which is nice.

    There were some hiccups installing on Ubuntu 21.10, but with easy fixes:

    1. The script couldn't install Docker. Simple fix:
    apt install docker.io
    1. The ports I needed were firewalled by default (all ports were except for 22). Simple fix:
    ufw allow 16245/udp
ufw allow 27001,16245/tcp

    The ports above are mine. You'll get randomly assigned ports right after Outline's setup script finishes running, something like this:

    Make sure to open the following ports on your firewall, router or cloud provider:
- Management port 27001, for TCP
- Access key port 16245, for TCP and UDP

    Anyways, this is all good fun. I'll be pissed if it turns out that all the cheaper VPS providers in Korea are blocked, though.
