Finding myself on public WiFi for the first time since the start of the pandemic makes me remember how much I love Wireguard (wireguard.com/) and AzireVPN (azirevpn.com).

A breeze to set up on elementary OS (or any other Linux + they have apps for all the major platforms):

sudo apt install wireguard jq resolvconf

Then follow from Step 2 on azirevpn.com/support/guides/co

@aral
I personally prefer @mullvadnet, because they also use wireguard and have extensive guides to how to privacy on their website. Also you can pay your access anonymously. 👍

@aral I self-host my Wireguard VPN with @yunohost and it runs very smoothly.

Self-hosting is the way to go!

"Self-hosting is the way to go!"

I agree.

I host a Pleroma instance on Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 CPU's, 4GB RAM and 30GB disk.

As VPS the same would cost 20-40 € monthly. The Raspberry Pi I got for around 100€ here in Sweden.

Pleroma has proven to be very solid.

I have Freedombox too but there the integration with Raspberry Pi is very bad, they don't like Raspberry Pi's because they are not Free Software.
