|
|
<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="6.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<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>
|
|
<p>Now that you are using Mullvad as a VPN, you can also use their Mullvad Browser, which is basically a Hardened Firefox based off the Tor Browser:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="nim">
|
|
[ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/Nextcloud/blog]
|
|
→ apt search mullvad
|
|
Sorting... Done
|
|
Full Text Search... Done
|
|
mullvad-browser/unknown,now 13.5.1-1 amd64
|
|
Mullvad Browser
|
|
|
|
mullvad-vpn/unknown,now 2024.4 amd64 [installed]
|
|
Mullvad VPN client
|
|
|
|
[ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/Nextcloud/blog]
|
|
→ apt install mullvad-browser -y
|
|
|
|
[ mainpc ] [ /dev/pts/3 ] [~/Nextcloud/blog]
|
|
→ mullvad-browser
|
|
|
|
</pre></code>
|
|
<p>And from there you can browse the web using the same VPN connection:</p>
|
|
<img src="11.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<img src="12.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>From there, just like on the Tor Browser, you can protect against fingerprinting by setting the security level here:</p>
|
|
<img src="13.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>If you want to reduce your fingerprinting attack surface as much as possible, you can choose to disable javascript by selecting the "Safest" security level, but it may break some websites functionnality.</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>
