VPN Client

Overview

Warning: work in progress

VPN Client app for YunoHost.

• Install a VPN connection on your self-hosted server.
• Useful for hosting your server behind a filtered (and/or non-neutral) internet access.
• Useful to have static IP addresses (IPv6 and IPv4).
• Useful to easily move your server anywhere.
• With the Hotspot app for YunoHost, you can broadcast your VPN access by Wifi for using a clean internet connection (depending on your VPN provider) on your laptop (or those of your friends) without have to configure it.

See the box project explanations (box for a ready-made and nomad self-hosting with YunoHost+VPN, a VPN access through a wifi hotspot, and/or a CPE for non-profit ISP) in French. An example of hardware associated is the A20-OLinuXino-LIME with the MOD-WIFI-R5370-ANT (photo). See also the YunoHost image project for OLinuXino.

Features

• Port selection, with UDP or TCP
• Authentication based on certificates or login (or both)
• IPv6 compliant (with a delegated prefix)
• Set an IPv6 from your delegated prefix (prefix::42) on the server, to use for the AAAA records
• Use native IPv6 if available for creating the tunnel
• Web interface (screenshot)
