In the digital age, cyber security and privacy are more important than ever. Using a virtual private network (VPN) can help improve your cybersecurity and privacy by encrypting your network traffic, so that your data is protected as it travels via the Internet. This is especially useful when using unsecured Wi-Fi networks, such as at coffee shops, airports or in hotel rooms.

Creating your own VPN server has become easier than ever, thanks to advances in technology such as affordable cloud servers and reduced bandwidth costs. Self-hosted VPNs can be considerably cheaper than commercial ones and offer several advantages. The VPN setup process can be fully automated and as simplified as possible. This book will help you build your own VPN server in the cloud or on a Raspberry Pi in just a few minutes.
