Hosting VPN on VDS?

Post by killabotcz »

Is this allowed?

It'll be limited to one person only (me) and I won't be downloading anything illegal or sending a zillions spam emails (I have a Nigerian friend for that) or using a monstrous amount of bandwidth.

The reason I ask is I often use a VPN to get around some internet limitations at work and thought that as well as hosting a small game server the VDS could be used to host a VPN too.

Thanks

Hosting and using a VPN on your VDS is fine.

OpenVPN is a good one to use.
