<h1>How to get privacy from your ISP using a VPN </h1>
<p><h2><u>OPSEC Recommendations:</u></h2></p>

<li><p>Hypervisor: <a href="../hypervisorsetup/index.html">libvirtd QEMU/KVM</a></p></li>
<li><p>VM : <a href="../hypervisor/index.html">Linux</a></p></li>
</ol>
<p>I recommend to use that setup as part of your <a href="../privacy/index.html">Privacy Use</a> online, to hide what you are browsing online from your ISP</p>

<h2><b>Why does Bob need a VPN to begin with ? </b></h2>
<p>Bob now has <a href="../linux/index.html">Linux</a> as his host operating system on his computer, with a debian private VM setup thanks to the <a href="../hypervisorsetup/index.html">QEMU/KVM hypervisor</a>. Now as per his private internet usage in his debian VM, he was thinking: <b>"My Debian VM only has open source software, but who else may spy on me?"</b></p>
<p>As he browsed the web from his linux laptop he realised one thing; He's paying for an internet connection. A company is offering the internet service to his house.</p>
<img src="0.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Meaning, that when Bob is browsing the web on google.com; youtube.com or duckduckgo.com, his internet service provider can see that he's connecting there!</p>
<p>That doesn't sit well with Bob. <b>Bob decides that his ISP shouldn't be aware of what he's doing with his internet usage.</b> Therefore, he wants to use a VPN.</p>
<img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
<p>But thing is, Bob realises that the VPN market is over-saturated, there's alot of choice. He wants to know what's the best VPN out there. After browsing for some time, he found this article from <a href="https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/">Privacy Guides</a> where they compare popular VPN services according to their standards. From there, Bob decides he's going to try to use <a href="https://kycnot.me/service/Mullvad">Mullvad VPN</a>.</p>

<h2><b>Purchasing a VPN</b></h2> </br> </br>
<p>Bob goes on mullvad.net to purchase the VPN (which is 5 euros monthly) </p>
<img src="2.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
<img src="5.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Here Bob can pay with various means. For ease of use he can pay using his credit card for example, but as we'll see in later tutorials on <a href="../finances/index.html">decentralised finances</a>, <a href="../monero2024/index.html">Monero</a> is the ideal payment choice for financial privacy.</p>
<p>So Bob pays for the VPN, then his account has time added:</p>

<img src="7.png" class="imgRz">
<pre><code class="nim">
# Download the Mullvad signing key
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/mullvad-keyring.asc
# Add the Mullvad repository server to apt
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/stable $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list
# Or add the Mullvad BETA repository server to apt
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mullvad-keyring.asc arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repository.mullvad.net/deb/beta $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mullvad.list
# Install the package
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mullvad-vpn
# Connect to Mullvad VPN
mullvad account login
Enter an account number: 91320912809328832
Mullvad account "91320912809328832" set
# Connect to the VPN:
mullvad lockdown-mode set on
mullvad connect
curl ifconfig.me
194.127.199.92
</code></pre>
<p>From there, Bob can launch the VPN from his desktop:</p>
<img src="8.png" class="imgRz">
<p>And he can see that his IP got changed accordingly to the location he picked: </p>
<img src="9.png" class="imgRz">
<p>The VPN is also protecting against DNS and WebRTC leaks, according to <a href="https://mullvad.net/en/check">https://mullvad.net/en/check</a></p>

<h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2> </br> </br>
<p>So now currently, Bob has managed to setup a Debian VM (with only open source software) with a VPN in order to use it and gain privacy from his ISP.</p>
<img src="10.png" class="imgRz">
<p>Currently, Bob's setup is suitable for Public use (thanks to his windows VM), AND suitable for Private use too (thanks to his debian VM with the VPN setup).</p>
<p>Next, Bob can setup KeepassXC to implement proper <a href="../passwordmanagement/index.html">Password Management</a>.</p>
