How to implement a VPN?

Question

VPN

Hello. I would like to have my own vpn. So that the traffic on both the computer and the phone is encrypted. It's scary to use third-party providers. Is it not possible with them that, on the contrary, he did not defend himself, but provided someone with his data. It remains the option to raise the VPN to VDS DigitalOcean and enjoy life. Basically, what do you suggest to do. And yes, if the second option is what is the best vpn server to install. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to decide on the threats from which to protect yourself.
In any case, you will substitute your traffic to the VDS hoster.
Be a hoster substitute the backbone provider.
Install OpenVPN. It also has a client for Android.
When configuring, do not forget about DNS leak. It is advisable to "kill" on your Firewall on a computer or phone any outgoing traffic to anywhere other than the IP address of the VPN server. And it happens that the VPN was specially "dropped", and you are not aware that the routing released all the traffic through a normal connection. The Internet is working.
And in order to enjoy life, you already have everything. :)
