In this article, we’ll show you how to create a VPN easily. To do this, we’ll create a server using the Docker image and use Outline, created by Alphabet (Google). Outline isn’t strictly a VPN, but it serves the same purpose through a socks5 proxy. The advantage of using a VPN is that it protects our connection so that other users connected to the same network cannot see it.
Firewall Ports
We’ll need to open TCP ports 1024 through 65535 in our firewall. In our example, we’ve created a firewall profile:
Outline Manager
Go to the Outline website and download Outline Manager. Once downloaded, launch it, scroll to the bottom, and click “Get Started”:
Run the code provided by Outline Manager on your server to receive a response:
Add the “ApiURL” and “certSha256” code to Outline Manager and click the “DONE” button:
Outline (Client)
Now go to the Outline website, download the Outline client, and open it. Go to Outline Manager and click the “Get connected” button. Follow all the instructions to obtain the “Access Key” and connect your VPN. Here are some screenshots of the entire process:
