Vpn Recommendation

[Wrye83]

 

 

Hello,

New here, will be moving to PI next week. Butuan City and later Cebu.

Need to select a VPN that you folks have found to be reliable, reasonably priced and provide multiple simultaneous use while providing good torrent bandwidth.

Recommendations appreciated.

If you have access to a web server you can ssh into it and use it as a proxy.

I have a dedicated server running centos and plesk. I would love to set up a VPN on it but not effect the sites I'm hosting. I would love some instructions on how to do so.

Thanks!

 

Sorry about the delayed response. Did you ever figure this one out? 

SSH into your server with the following command: 

ssh -D 9999 -C me@ipaddress

"me@ipaddress.com" being your login@server IP address

If you have changed the standard ports it would look like this:

ssh -P 1234 -D 9999 -C me@ipaddress

"1234" being whatever you changed the port to. 

Then you need to go into Firefox and edit the proxy settings:

Firefox> Edit> Preferences> Advanced tab> Network tab> Settings

 

Select Manual Proxy configuration

SOCKS Host: localhost Port: 9999

SOCKS V5

No Proxy for: localhost, 127.0.0.1

 

Should be good to go after that. I've only used this on my mail server which doesn't use much traffic at all.

Thanks, I may try that on the next server. I plan on migrating to a new one in December so I'll set up a proxy then.

My current server is really maxed out right now.

Thanks so much for the instructions though. I will definitely use them.
