Alternative VPN Solution Using Raspberry Pi as Router
Abstract
Free Wi-Fi is exceptionally convenient to the public, but security can be a concern as such free access points are available at restaurants, hotels, airports, and cafes. Even though it has a router firewall, it does not mean that the network is shielded from certain network connections. It is incredibly easy to steal the username and password of others or see what they do by using the same network. The big challenge to free Wi-Fi security is the hackers' ability to position themselves between the user and the link point. The hacker steals information that you send on the Internet, such as valuable e-mails, credit card data, and personal information. The aim is to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) Router using Raspberry Pi. VPN works to protect the Internet connection of the user's device to ensure that all data sent and received is authenticated and protected. The VPN router is based on the most popular Raspberry Pi 3 on the market, allowing people to avoid Wi-Fi attacks of this type without installing any program or application on their devices. This makes the router a link between the user and public network and allows the connection of several client devices to this router. The router has been checked to ensure that this VPN router provides the best speed and durable protection. Finally, we hope that the VPN router will help secure internet connections and protect their privacy.

Submission of an original manuscript to the Journal of Computing Technologies and Creative Content (JTeC) will be taken to mean that it represents original work not previoussly published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication. All submitted articles that are published by JTeC cannot be published anywhere by the authors unless with the permission by JTeC Editors. JTeC reserves the right to the publications of the articles it published, and reserves the right to reuse the articles elsewhere for academic purposes, while still retaining the names of the original authors with the original articles.
JTeC takes the stance that the publication of scholarly research is meant to disseminate knowledge and in a not-for-profit regime, benefits neither publisher nor author financially. It sees itself as having obligation to its author and to society to make content available online now that the technology allows for such possibility.
