Guide

How to self-host a hardened strongSwan IKEv2/IPsec VPN server for iOS and macOS

Operating system and version

macOS BigSur 11.2.3

Description

Hey Sun, I am an enthusiast and watched many of your Youtube vids, they're great and I am learning a lot! For example, I switched to Firefox and actively using it with containers. I also followed step by step your guide to set up my own VPN with Strongswan on Njalla and worked great.

Unfortunately, I tried to install Pihole on the VPS and messed it all up (Pihole installation error: DNS resolution is not available), so I swiped the server and reinstalled everything. How can I integrate Pihole to your awesome step by step guide? I watch a lot of youtube and hate ads!

Thanks a LOT a LOT in advance!

i am cross referencing here to bring a bit of awareness about this comment https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/2259#issuecomment-866777313.

As long as Njalla does not have a privacy policy using them is not recommendable imo.

Hey @fabioparisi,

Unfortunately I cannot help with Pihole as I have not experimented with this setup.

@ph00lt0 Interesting… thanks for sharing. I will raise this next time I reach out to Njalla.

My gut feeling is not having a privacy policy keeps things obscure so regulators don’t start asking too many questions.

That said, I agree not having a privacy policy (especially in the context of VPS instances) is scary.

Closing as guide has been deprecated given I am no longer using it myself.

That said, open to peer reviewed pull request.
