Make Your Own VPN - First Privacy Friendly Option!

so guys up until now there hasn't really

been a privacy friendly per se or

privacy oriented way to spin your own

VPN get some external company to host it

for you do all the configuration for you

but still give you the privacy and

control to kind of make your own VPN

network with wireguard that gets pretty

good speeds of course there have been

some things like linode for example a

website that lets you host things with

it and it's been wireguard and make your

own server

but Lynnwood isn't really a privacy

oriented company necessarily it's more

of just like a web hosting virtual uh

VPS kind of a website

um so but now there actually might be a

new competitor to space a new kind of

offering from torguard that competes in

this space really well it could perhaps

be one of the most private ways to spin

your own VPN

um the first as it describes not to

sound too you know chilly or anything

like that but I do think it could be one

of the first private VPN class and let's

look at something like this would you

rather use linode a company where you

can make your own server and stuff like

that

with 13 ad trackers

13 third-party cookies it it it has

trackers that evade third-party cookie

blockers it tells Facebook when you

visit this website and it uses Google

analytics or would you rather use tour

guard private VPN Cloud zero ad trackers

zero cookies no tracking that evades

cookies no stressing recording Facebook

pixel not found no Google Analytics

so yeah that alone should tell you that

this is much more privacy friendly

perhaps the new best private way to make

your own VPN let's go ahead and talk

about it

now guys if you're interested in

checking out this project I'll try to

put a promo code down below however this

video being unsponsored by torguard and

not really paid by them to make this

video I'm not sure exactly how they plan

on pricing this in the future you could

either click on the link in the

description down below to see the

current pricing or one day I might be

able to get a promo code from them

um to give a small discount so keep a

look in the description and pin comment

for that now some of these things are

making really kind of designed for power

users who want to take advantage of not

only just like consumer grade VPN but

just what a VPN can do in and of itself

now what do people traditionally use

vpns for well a lot of businesses use

vpns to basically work remotely and

connect to a secure network

um and you can also do that to connect

to a network from somewhere else and be

on the same kind of network so let's say

your your computer is running at home

running on the network you can be at a

Starbucks hotel and connect to the same

network and get some of the same things

on that Network so whether you want to

transfer files have the same IP address

there's so many different possibilities

when it comes to just networking overall

in terms of the VPN aspect of it there's

a lot of people in this self-hosting

kind of Niche with like security cameras

let's say you have all these security

cameras on your network set up with a

VPN that lets you access the security

camera live feed when you're not home

not connected to the network you don't

have to use a centralized server with

something Amazon ring and stuff like

that that's only like one benefit you

can also connect to your home media

server all sorts of things the

playground is literally endless and this

is actually very similar what torcard's

doing with nordvpns kind of mesh Network

feature I think it's called mesh Network

mesh routing or something like that

nordvpn's done it pretty smart and made

it very easy to do they've put it in the

app itself I made it so all you need to

do is have the mobile app on your phone

or whatever and you could connect and

have that capability to connect to your

at home network with VPN technology tour

is doing it a little different and in

some ways it's better in some ways it's

worse so tour guards private VPN Cloud

it gives you the access for your own

kind of VPN you're basically making your

own VPN with tour guard your own private

VPN and that's pretty cool I there isn't

really anything quite like this that I

could find the most similar thing would

be maybe nordvpn's mesh routing but this

is way more customizable

um and with something like linode and

stuff you can make your own VPN

similarly but this is like tour guard is

doing more of the heavy lifting

this is kind of set up more for you than

it would be on linode I'm taking a lot

of the work out but it's not quite as

easy to use as nordvpn it's somewhere in

the middle of that it's more powerful

than nordvpn's solution but also more

easy than just spinning your own VPN so

it's very interesting kind of Middle

Ground there that I think torguard is

attacking and if you're if that sounds

like something you're into definitely

click on the link in the description

down below I'm going to be seeing if I

could get a promo code for this uh I

haven't checked yet if you click on the

link and use the promo code there it

helps support the channel and could

possibly give you a discount so we'll

have to see how that goes

um with the affiliate they have like a

panel you could create codes so it is a

little bit pricey

um it's around 16 a month forty dollars

for a quarter 170 a year this does seem

to include some kind of router though so

what happens is you have three devices

allowed

um

you could choose your own VPN IP powered

by wireguard and all this stuff so it's

got its own control panel and I'm going

to show you mine I've actually been

testing it out and playing around with

it so it's pretty cool so let's go ahead

and go to the control panel and show you

what it's like

all right so we have this private Cloud

here this is the IP that I connect with

so we're going to go to manage manage

VPN Cloud

um

all right here we go so this is the

specs of my server

um the information on it it's a la

wireguard server

um and here is my keys so I pretty much

just downloaded the wireguard

application scan the QR code and I can

connect to my phone so pretty simple

um you can also copy and paste the key

on your computer to connect as well so I

pretty much just made my own VPN

wireguard network with no one else on it

pretty nice so there's possibilities

there maybe even for kind of

unrestricting things based on being in

the US maybe even for bypassing certain

website restrictions too I haven't

played around with that too much the

cool thing and like the advanced thing

about this is that you could change the

ports you can add ports whenever you

want delete them now if you know

anything about self-hosting anything

about networking ports are very

important it's basically like the

address and kind of way to connect

different services and be able to view

them so that's very important and this

is very customizable so that's nice to

see you can also customize if you want

the default gateway

or the VPN server so the default gateway

is more like your VPN IP and then if you

change the IP here it's more like your

your regular IP so that way you're just

using your regular IP and not a VPN IP

apparently there's also going to be an

ability to link personal VPN devices

slash nodes together in the cloud and

you have some performance metrics as

well here too so guys what overall you

know can you do this at right now well

essentially what it is from what I

understand is basically making your own

wire guard network with tour guard now

torguard takes a lot of the guesswork

out of it compared with something like

linode you're gonna have to install

stuff and everything like that torboard

is just kind of doing it for you

but also giving you the customization

and control with having your own network

and the various benefits that could

entail like I said whether you want to

remote into your at-home Network

um you can use the VPN IP or your own IP

depending on how you want to do that

change ports and everything like that

really this is for more advanced users

people who want to make their own VPN

people want to play around with

networking people who want to self-host

are all going to be able to take

advantage of this and I think it's

pretty cool it's definitely a power user

a kind of experience but like I said I

do think it's actually easier than some

of the other things out there it has

more control and power and something

like nor vpn's offering but a little bit

more tricky to use in nor vpn's offering

but again more control and options to

play around with that you might find

more difficult to do with something like

Nord which is pretty simplistic in their

implementation of the Nord mesh routing

stuff so guys that's just my brief

overview here if you're interested to

try it out ready go ahead and check it

out let me know down in the comments

down below if any of you are interested

in this what your potential use case

could be if you plan on buying it you

know use my link if you want to help

support the channel and that'll pretty

much do it for me today guys uh let me

know what uh you think down in the

comments down below like I said or come

visit the Discord uh too and chat about

this
