Even several years ago VPN was an optional subject. But now VPN is an essential issue for internet users for internet censorship, country restrictions, data security and exclusive security.
There are thousands of VPNs across the Internet. Many of which are free and many are paid. Free and paid VPNs are fine for running daily life. But the most worrying thing is their data security and privacy.
How does a VPN actually work?
A VPN is a private network and this private network is connected to a central connection and encrypts the connection on the other end. It then completely breaks or bypasses network blocking restrictions. Thro
Step 5:
Once the VPN service is created you will receive an access code. If you want to use this VPN elsewhere or with friends, click "Add Key" to get a new code and remember that everyone else must have the Outline Client App installed.ugh which a user can easily access any blocked website.
VPN's data security and privacy
Since to use VPN you have to install certain software, extensions and apps on your computer, browser or mobile so there is no guarantee that these free and paid VPNs are not invisibly smuggling and selling our data. This is especially true in the case of free VPN. Because all the data of these free and paid VPNs is transferred from the server of VPN company.
And another requirement of VPN is for Great Firewall.
What is Great Firewall?
The Great Firewall is China's network restriction system, which allows them to block various web sites, such as Google or Facebook from China. Nowadays Great Firewall is becoming much more powerful and VPN service is not commonly available compared to that.
Especially foreign tourists traveling to China often have to wear network restrictions, they can not use Facebook, Google, Line there. The only way for them to solve this problem is to use a paid VPN. But there remains a problem, is that VPN companies are not stealing their personal information? Which makes users think about safety.
The simple solution is to create your own VPN service. Although there is a system for learning the subject online, the users do not have the amount of technical knowledge.
Free, open source and self hosted VPN
And so there is a need for free, open source and self hosted VPN all over the internet world. Through which the user can easily create VPN service and all the data of VPN can be owned by the user himself.
Many programmers, entrepreneurs and organizations have been trying to create free, open source and self-hosted VPNs for years. Earlier, in collaboration with the University of Washington, Uproxy Project developed a product for Internet users to use their own computer as a VPN. However, it is no longer available. However, its code is in the repository GitHub.
Google Jigsaw
And the Internet giant Google itself has come forward to take this effort further. Google, through a project called Google Jigsaw , is working to create these free, open source and self-hosted VPNs. Google Jigsaw has created a new free, open source and self-hosted VPN for Internet users - Outline.
With Outline, anyone can easily create their own VPN service with just a few clicks.
The Google Jigsaw project is working to provide maximum security to Internet users online.
What is Outline?
As mentioned earlier, Google Jigsaw's 'Outline' is an open source project designed to provide users with data security and privacy, as well as secure access to the Internet for journalists and news organizations. Especially for the Great Wall Restrictions in China. Anyone who likes to control their own data security and privacy can easily create a VPN of their own through Outline.
However, to use Outline, you don't just have to download its software from the official website. To use Outline you will need a VPS or a cloud server such as: Digital Ocean, Linode, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud etc.
Outline has two parts
- One is Outline Manager
- Another is Outline Client
You will need both a manager and a client to create and verify your own VPN. Outline Manager supports Windows, Linux, macOS and Outline Client can be used by iOS, Android, Chrome OS and 90% of users on average.
Here I will use macOS as operating system and using Digital Ocean as VPS to show how you can create your own VPN through Outline.
You have to spend at least 5 per month to use Digital Ocean. But you will get ড 10 through referral for 2 months. Through which you can use it completely free for two months.
Outline
Official Website: Outline
How to use:
Register for free at Digital Ocean and get ড 100
Step 1:
If you do not have a Digital Ocean account, click on this link to get ড 100 free now and go to the official site and click on the link .
Enter your email and password to register. You can use your balance for 2 months.
Step 2:
Now you have to verify the ID with your email and credit card. You can also use PayPal if you want. No money will be deducted from your card until the free balance is exhausted.
With the verification you will get 10 dollars and since you only have 5 dollars per month so this 10 dollars is enough for the next two months.
Create your own VPN server with Outline Manager
Step 1:
After getting Digital Ocean or any other VPS service, we can download Outline Manager from the official site. Outline is currently available for three platforms: Windows, Linux and macOS.
Step 2:
After launching Outline Manager, click "Sign me in" to login to your Digital Ocean account.
Click on the "Authorize Application" button to get information about your account.
Step 3:
Now decide the country with which you want to connect VPN. If you want to stay in Bangladesh and connect to Singapore, it should be done in less time. If not connected, you can select US West.
After selecting the VPN server, click "Set Up Outline". It may take 2 minutes or more to set up but you can be sure it will happen very quickly.
Step 4:
It is good to say here, I selected Singapore as the server and there was a problem to connect and when I select another country it connects again. If you have this kind of problem, I will say, first delete the previous server and then select another country.
Step 5:
Once the VPN service is created you will receive an access code. If you want to use this VPN elsewhere or with friends, click "Add Key" to get a new code and remember that everyone else must have the Outline Client App installed.
So our work is almost finished now to connect VPN click "Connect This Device". Outline will generate a URL. Copy the URL as it will be used on the server later.
Download the Outline Client App
Step 1:
I said first
Outline has two parts. One use is to manage the server which is Outline Manager. Another is the Outline Client that we install on our computer, browser or mobile and connect to the VPN. So download the Outline Application or Mobile App from the official site.
Copy the URL from Outline Manager and paste it into the Outline Client app and connect.
Step 2:
Now click on “connect”.
If you are a macOS or Windows user, a pop message may appear with Allow.
Step 3:
Once the VPN is connected you can check your IP if you want . Here we can see United States. This may vary depending on your IP location.
4th step:
One important thing to keep in mind here is that if you do not want to use Outline in the future, you will have to delete the VPN server through Outline Manager, otherwise your balance in the Digital Ocean account will continue to be deducted. This is very important because you have verified the account with your card.
The purpose of Outline VPN is to avoid network limitations and provide your security online. Not to hide your identity. Google Jigsaw has made it easier and faster for Internet users to create and use their own VPN service.
Learn the three benefits of staying with this tune for so long
- Google Jigsaw is an open and free VPN creation platform.
- It supports Windows and macOS and Linux, and its client app is also capable of running ios and Android operating systems.
- This makes it possible to build VPN services very quickly through various VPS services like Digital Ocean and Linode.
Thanks for staying with us for so long.
Lastly, I think this Google Jigsaw project is useful enough for those like me who use VPN for some work every day. And if I talk about the cost, then I can say that you can use it for much less than the cost of any good VPN. If I say benefits then I have to say I got good enough speed here which is not commonly found.
So sit down and read now to create your own VPN. If you like my tune, be sure to joss, follow and share. Be sure to comment.
