I am using Ubuntu at home. I have a server in the US with CentOS.

With my system administrator days long gone (about 25 years ago), the question is: what's the easiest, least painful way to make a CentOS Linux server act as a full VPN, and then route ALL of my traffic to that US server?

When I look online, I find plenty of guides for Squid (not what I want), more about Socks (again, not what I want since I want ALL traffic to go through the VPN), and difficult guides on how to set a VPN on a server. Are there any turnkey-ish solutions out there? Something I can use with the standard Ubuntu UI (or Windows' UI for VPNs), which allows me to add a VPN?

(If you wondered, in the last 25 years I've been a tech journalist and software engineer, rather than system administrator)

  • “It's not the IP address”—oh, but is most definitely is. The equation can really rather simple: Traffic isn’t coming from a known home ISP range? Block it. Done!

    @Merc - You should improve it. If you cannot improve it so an answer can be submitted, then and only then, should you delete it. Netflix actively blocks VPN services including VPS that host them.
