How to setup a VPN on your VPS.

Setting up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a great way to enhance privacy, secure your internet connection, and bypass geo-restrictions. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic, ensuring that your data remains private and secure, even when using public networks. In this guide, we'll take you through the process of configuring a VPN on your VPS, including selecting the right VPN protocol, installing necessary software, and securing the connection. By the end, you'll have a fully functional VPN that you can use to browse the web safely and securely.
