Hi! does anyone know how to setup a home vpn network so I can do everything I want at school/work without worrying about security or wifi limitations? I've been using tunnelbear, but its kinda a pain in the butt with the data limit. I have a pc at home that can run 24/7 and I'd like to be able to run a vpn on it. Tips, or even links to video guides would help. THX

Some routers can setup a VPN, but you need a public IP. If you dont have one, you can use Raspberry Pi or any computer with hamachi and a proxy.

I've done this in the past with an RPi, worked pretty well but I'm going to say, it was a little slow and sometimes unreliable. I've since switched to a Draytek 2820 which has built in VPN support. Works great for me!

I have it, it is slow (my upload is only 150KB/s), but stable on PC, but it is quite slow and unreliable on mobile.

Here is a link I found.  It goes over how to set up the VPN but has some limitations and is not the easiest thing to set up.  But im sure you can figure it out.  best of luck :)

CyberGhost is free VPN service https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/en/index/indexa?utm_expid=85864364-20.eNBY82fVRQSTe-9mpnQtJw.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.be%2F

 

"Free slots are blocked" just wait it usually won't take longer than 5 minute's idk how long the free session is but if it gets cut-off just re-enter.
