Based on 10 years of open-source development trusted by millions of users worldwide, this book enables you to deploy a secure, reliable VPN server in minutes-even if you have never set up a server before.

Thanks to affordable cloud servers and automation, running your own VPN has never been easier. A self-hosted VPN can cost less than commercial services while giving you full control over your data. By the end of this book, you will have a fully functional VPN server that you control completely.
