Who this route is for

From provider to connected client.

Follow the project documentation and choose a compatible server or host for the workload.

- 03
Connect a native VPN client
Import the generated profile or sign in with the supported client, then test the tunnel.

Tradeoffs and watch-outs
-
This is remote-access shaped, not just personal VPN shaped.
-
Likely too much system for the average low-cost travel user.
-
Self-hosting shifts trust to the server operator, hosting environment, and upstream project; it does not guarantee anonymity.
