2. **Troubleshooting OpenVPN** covers the best practices when installing OpenVPN, how to debug
|
|
|
|
the installation, and best practices for encryption and options for creating certificates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. **VPN on raspberry-pi and on mobile** will cover: How to install a VPN on a raspberry-pi at
|
|
|
|
one’s home, and how to enable VPN services on Android, F-Droid and iPhone. Plus a list of
|
|
|
|
existing VPN services are trustworthy and provided for free or on donations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Server remote connections and VPN** will cover: How to set up a VPN for remote backups
|
|
|
|
between servers and remote server connections (ssh) as an extra layer of security.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The goal is to spread the use and installation of VPN services on premises, meaning on
|
|
|
|
physically located or dedicated servers in feminist spaces and collectives, and to inform of
|
|
|
|
reliable VPN services provided by non profit organisations and other tech activists rather
|
|
|
|
than purchasing commercial VPN services, which are either costly, or the inexpensive options
|
|
|
|
do not often comply with best practices, e.x use of the same certificates for a bulk of users,
|
|
|
|
pass-phrases posted on websites. The educational material created will also serve as
|
|
|
|
resources for other activists/spaces to organise workshops and circulate the knowledge. |
