hey everyone! I’m back after taking some time off from certain things. before I start losing my mind from not having anything to do, I decided that I’m going to start being more “involved” in the online world. even if It’ll take away some of my privacy a bit, also because I want to practice being less paranoid, I’m sure some of you know how this feels very well. and so far there’s no clear answer to how you could become truly invisible. by the way, I now finally have my own fediverse social media account and my own website. there’s no such thing as ‘blogger’ type fediverse platform so I chose something else for now.

moreover, here’s the actual reason I came back online; can anyone tell me how I can make my own hosted vpn?

    maybe https://tinc-vpn.org/

    “Colloquially, the term VPN may be used to refer, albeit improperly, to a proxy service that uses VPN technology (such as OpenVPN) as opposed to higher-level proxy server protocols (such as SOCKS) as it does not require configuration of individual applications to tunnel their traffic through the proxy server, instead employing routing to redirect traffic.”

    “tinc is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) daemon that uses tunnelling and encryption to create a secure private network between hosts on the Internet”

    tinc probably won’t do what you want right out the box but you could possibly configure it to work like the vpn services if you have a network of addresses.
