how to vpn
Hello,
I’m working on openBSD 7.1, amd64 architecture. In Europe we have a 10 VPN provider, after some research, I chose protonvpn because it works with CERN and MIT. Protonvpn is compatible with openBSD. I have trouble loading the connection script, it’s a bit complicated! Does anyone have an experience with protonvpn, I’d like to be consulted. |

If your provider allows wireguard, on 7.1 it works great. Steps:
1. install package wg-quick (edit it is wireguard-tools) 2. put your wg config from your provider somewhere, name mine /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf Command to enable wireguard: Code:
doas /usr/local/bin/wg-quick up CONFIGFILE Code:
doas /usr/local/bin/wg-quick down CONFIGFILE As for openvpn, I had a method but it was a big kludge and IIRC around 7.0 it started having issues due to resolvd(8) and dhcpleased(8). But wireguard works without any issues and is easy to use HTH

I tried to install wg-quick but the reference does not recognize it! (pkg_add -v wg-quick)
I am a bit blocked from not having a secure vpn. I suffer from cyber attaks. I think that with the VPN be not geolocalized. The following commands do not respond. Quote:

Sorry, typo, it is wireguard-tools, also CONFIGFILE is the file given to you from your vpn provider

One more consideration regarding individual VPN services for plaintext -- unencrypted communication -- such as we use here at daemonforums.org, which uses plaintext HTTP:
Consider a post card: a post card is readable by anyone and everyone who can see the card as it is sent through the post system to its destination. Plaintext packets are like post cards; they can be scanned and understood by any device between the sending system and its destination. Additional privacy can be gained by using a VPN for plaintext traffic, but it is limited:
