Search how to set up a vpn in windows. ie the net and tube I assume that's what you are trying to do. Search host your own virtual private network maybe try linux route. hth

Hey Woodward, if you're still looking for virtual server packages, I guess you could just check this page and see what matches your budget. That?s where I would start, then you can see if you can find a package that suits you.

i DON'T KNOW why you are wasting your time by creating your own VPN. It's like banging a head on the wall. I would recommend you to buy VPN instead of creating because it's cheap although i like that you are trying to do.

Yeah, it depends on what your VPN use is for. If you just want something so you can use public wifi safely then setting up your own VPN works well. Provided your internet connection has a decent upload speed that is. For those who use VPNs to protect themselves while using BitTorrent then that's a different story.

Pick your words a little carefully, please. With that said, you do have a point though... I mean why waste time trying to reinvent the wheel? There are options available. you can Google and find tutorials on how to create one yourself. YouTube vids might help too. You can also use openvpn for the job, but again, it's too much of fuss and a hassle when you can just get yourself a VPN in a few minutes and worry about the later steps :/
