Hardware-based Home VPN Server
Abstract
Once in the realm of the tech elite, VPN software has increasingly been used by the tech masses. This trend has most recently been driven by ISPs selling browsing histories in the US – and therefore, in effect, the user’s privacy – to the highest bidder to facilitate targeted advertising. With access to robust VPN platforms, users can more closely guard their online privacy, and access other benefits like a better level of security when using public Wi-Fi. The main pillars of a VPN are security and privacy, and these services use an encrypted tunnel to transmit your data online, with many benefits. When configuring a VPN, there are several choices for encryption protocols which can be used, and among these, one of the more popular options is currently OpenVPN which is popular for its speed, reliability, open-source and ease of use.

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.
