Upon attempting to do this project years ago and semi-failing. I decided to try once again and correct the mistakes I had made previously. Firstly, years ago the details on how to make your own VPN server were not only time consuming but complicated. However now, you just need one line of code:


curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash


It literally is a breeze to setup, in fact I had the project completed in under 10 minutes and that was using an original Pi 1. There are a few windows that data must be filled in but it’s fairly easy. Now I have a simple VPN server that I can use anywhere in the world.


Doing some tests on the VPN network I realised that I was getting around 7 Mbps down and just under 5 Mbps up as shown by my Ookla results below


So I won’t be winning awards anytime soon. But I have to say the VPN was usable and looking at the results, which were from servers located in England. Since I live in Aberdeen, Scotland, I think those are decent speeds all things considered.


Anyway if you would like more information on how to complete this project yourself, please have a look at:
