setup a FREE VPN server in the cloud (AWS) 

All of his videos are as described above it's amazing

how do you set a free public static ip cuz im a bit confused.

there's no such thing "free static ip"@@sync1.5

you use AWS Elastic IP, you assign it to the EC2 instance@@sync1.5

do i need to buy serificate ? i cant log in somehow though url!?

I should add that I am very much a novice at vpn setup, things I can't seem to do is access my router webui, and it still shows my real external ip unlike what is shown in this video. Would there be any way that @networkchuck can make a tutorial to help us out! thanks again

Sorry Chuck. He didn't mean to say it.

Nah it didnt work, without coffee ☕ for me

Blasphemy!! ;)

It also work tea or tequila whichever fills your cup

he had a shirley temple instead. very uncool, Cyril

I don’t know very much about the security of VPNs…can Amazon view my traffic?

@@Chuck8541 It would be technically very possible if the traffic was unencrypted - like say, vising a HTTP page rather than a HTTPS page. Any part of the data-chain could look at that data (which would be loads more companies than just Amazon), and encrypting the traffic between you and the VPN would only solve half of that problem if the traffic out of the VPN server is unencrypted to the endpoint. In that scenario the main thing you get out of a VPN is hiding your real IP. That said - actually inspecting the contents of packets would be completely impractical to do at a large scale and require massively more processing than simple routing, so it's not something that is actually done short of targeted surveillance perhaps. If anything is logged it's IP addresses and timestamps. So the takeaway is that if you don't trust your VPN provider more than your ISP then from a technical standpoint you haven't fundamentally solved the problem - merely moved it from one place to another. Although in some spesific cases like using untrusted public wifi it can have it's uses. If you actually want to protect the contents of your traffic from start to finish then the only real solution is to only connect to services and sites that use encrypted protocols. Like for example HTTPS rather than HTTP. VPNs are very useful in certain situations - Don't get me wrong. I run a mini VPN on my home network so I can always call home securely no matter where I am for example. Just be aware that what they actually do and what they are marketed as (ie. a one-click solution to all security and privacy issues) is very different...

I am just using it for sketchy sites

what if just streaming if you setup the vpn Canada or US to get around geo restriction would 1tb be enough bandwidth? My understanding if stream from a services it's all in coming? not out going or am i wrong? I did some reading and i don't know if it's correct or not but it said you would have to stream 4k video 6 hours a day for 30 days before you would hit a TB i'm not sure how true that it is?

@@jvirg If you had 1TB monthly bandwidth then you could do a lot, but most "always free" tier services have typically been limited to much less - like the paltry 1GB/month network egress (outside of google's networks) pr. month. I think it was 15BG/month on AWS when I wrote that comment - and that's just not enough for a VPN for anything more than simple web-browsing You are right that normally steaming is 99% downloading, but when the traffic is run through a VPN it also has to re-send anything it downloads back to you. You effectively have to upload as much as you download - so this doesn't really help you unless you could somehow view it on the actual machine in the datacenter :P Thankfully things have changed a lot in the cloud market recently (my original comment was quite old) and a lot of companies trying to compete with Google and Amazon are now giving some amazing opportunities on both "always free" tiers and generously specked entry-level paid VMs. If you know where to look you can get a lot even for free. You can definitely make a perfectly workable private VPN now. My current recommendation would be Oracle cloud (yes the company that made Java - they are leaning into cloud aggressively now). Their always free tier gives you bascially no network limit @48Mbit/sec - which is more than enough to view pretty much any stream as much as you want even when you have to take into account that you have to halve that number in VPN-use (as mentioned earlier). The other specs on the VM are also quite decent, and more than enough to run openVNC on Linux flawlessly. If you are comfortable with using an ARM-based system then you can get even better hardware specs - not that you really need it for a VPN. For entry level paid VPNs, Contabo is also amazing value. Send me a PM or something if you need help or more details.

What do you mean charge for outbound traffic?

@@musaktk But isnt a free tier for the openvpn?

@@musaktk What are they?

AWS doesn't give any clear instructions on how they charge the outbound traffic (bytes going out from your EC2 instance to the internet) in the free tiers, but there is always a charge there. Don't expect to be able to process hundreds of GB through this type of openvpn server. Also it would be nice to mention that everyone that uses the free tier needs to set some alerts or limits in the billing section to avoid charges on services that exceed the free tier monthly limits.

You can view the pricing in the "Data Transfer OUT From Amazon EC2 To Internet" section in this page: aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/#Data_Transfer In summary it's free for the first GB and after that you'll be charged somewhere $0.08 to $0.15 per GB depending on the region you selected to deployed it(default I think is Ohio).

Exactly, might as well VPN directly to the NSA, why use a middle man.

Really?

Why not set it up on a Canadian region. We have crazy strict laws, not even the Canadian gov could look at it without a warrant and even then...

@@lucperon9600 For sure?

Word

That's what she said

Exactly what i needed; hope it works

@@mk89123 did it work? did it reduce cost?

AWS will charge you only if you are not using the real IP.

create elastic ip in ec2 console

Just set up a budget alert, you get a free email when you approach your self set limit.

Hi Sir, Could you tell me please, how can I know my port ? Cheers

and get charged by aws

Just select your region, top right, before you set up your EC2 server. Two clicks. ☺️

Hey hey Paco, do you have a blog or instructions you could share?

@@echoalpha9157 Hey Echo, unfortunately I don’t…I was just following along what Chuck was saying. The issues i came across i resolve with the help of my best buddy Google. Remember, Google is your best friend when it comes to finding the answers to your problems, you got to remember someone else already came across most of our issues. Sorry and best of lucks, don’t give up Echo

AWS certs have been a game-changer for me, but I don't just rely on them alone.

@@victormendoza3295 How have they helped you

Victor Mendoza ^

Yes it is. You're using your own encryption key precisely so that AWS don't have access to it. That's why it's generated once and you have to download it immediately because AWS don't persist a copy. Big globals with IP such as pharma trust it and regulated companies such as legal and the big banks use it to keep information away from the prying eyes of big government. These folks have some of the best security people out there, so if it's good enough to protect their businesses, you'll be equally fine. AWS put customer security as their #1 priority too, seen them at work.

Do you guys have time to write an essay

I agree with you completely! also wondering if Amazon will save data going through VPN. In addition to that, the video is very well described

@@Sebbesebastian that is exactly my concern. I see no deference between Vodafone/Telekom/O2 and etc. save my log or Amazon. In fact I rather my ISP save my logs than Jeff.

@@ahriman6669 😂

what's the diffrence between openvpn and other free vpn's?

how on windows?

​@@durschfalltv7505 connecting from a windows machine? chmod on windows means you may have to run powershell and try these commands: superuser.com/questions/1002883/how-do-i-specify-chmod-744-in-powershell I was able to find a few results with a search so if that superuser question doesn't help just let me know. Otherwise, if you're on windows OS, try navigating to the ec2 instance and select "connect" it may give you instructions for the OS that you're on e.g. connecting to a windows instance should suggest RDP, etc.

@@randomthoughtstech thx

Damn right. You can get yourself in the poo if you don't really know what your doing esp if someone pops your account /server

which Azure course?

works for me and still free

same issue

@@netsaosa4973 liar

Yea, is not exactly "free". You have 750 hours a month plus any data transfer charges.

@@matteogioioso896 Can you give any estimates on pricing?

@@skullboy1407 My experience with EC2 servers is that outside of the "Free Tier" (which only lasts the first year for EC2) the cost is around US$12 per month for the smallest ones. I usually see these when I make an EC2 server for some test project I'm working on that I forget to turn off. A bill gets emailed to you monthly.

Yeah, but they're crappy to set up - especially Oracle's. May as well just open a new account with AWS and save yourself a lot of convoluted learning.

mmmmm went back to this video after I have been charged 5 dollars 0.90 dollar for a gigabyte f***

Surprised to not see this begin spoken more of. Having /admin open WIDE... very scary.

I saw that this video is used as part of a lesson on Udemy. So I think during that course it has more content if that helps you at all

lmao fax

I wonder if the other VPNs available on the market also use AWS

@@blankpage1704 Plenty do. It's not at all overstated to say the internet pretty much runs on AWS now. If you want a VPN worth anything, start with ones that don't lie about what VPNs are good for. Second, it must operate from the EU; they have very strong data privacy laws. Third: Watch this, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cK4MQv-OwyM.html If I had to suggest only one, go with that video's top choice: IVPN. Then Mullvad.

If you set everything up as zerotrust you don’t have to trust amazon, they couldn’t look inside ur vms or traffic even if they wanted to.

@@kspfan001 That's not true. You host with Amazon, you have to trust them. They own the hardware, they can inspect anything you do with it, full stop.

Idk man, but programming isn't impossible to learn. I started learning at 13, and understood it so.... try programming.

Got the same error here. Still didn't figure it out how to solve it...

me too!! 😒

Don't worry it will be billed after a month and you have to pay, i watched the tutorial and made a vpn but then i saw it's real face and i terminated my account. Google cloud is much better. Edit:- the services which are under free eligible are the only free ones and will not cause a single penny unless and until you go wild.

@@akashnarayan9202 can you elaborate on how Google Cloud VPN is free? When I Google: Google Cloud VPN it is showing $0.050/hr ???

@@mauisam1 You will get $300 as a deposit done by Google and the pricing depends on what server specifications you choose before deploying. Another case maybe that in your country hosting the same is more in price.

How do you stop recurring charges after the 15gb threshold?

@@michaelperd, I don't because I use AWS budges and create a usage one so depending on how much data I use an for example if I set my data limit to 14.9GB I can set an action to stop my instance but you need to select the right instance so basically if my data limit reaches 14.9GB my instance will stop and ill be notified.

If you use the free tier for one year you will not get in charge of your expenses but if only you don't select as a free tier than you will pay money. I have worked with AWS services and for one year I have always used free tier and trying not to surpass the limit that was free so you are good to go and no worries. You only will be charged I 1$ in the beginning and that's it.

That was exactly my thinking. One of the biggest if not the biggest company in the world. And trust them with keeping privacy?

Hi

Why

As chuck already explained, this can be used to stay away from attackers, and yes this is very much secured as a user. But when you turn the plate and become an attacker/cyber criminal yourself, then there is nothing stopping Amazon to give out your logs and identity to the govt. It's the same way how programmers worry about deleting their accidental commits into git repos(Not really deleted and depends upon server configurations). You definitely don't know how precautions AWS is when lending services like your own free VPN server. To simply put, never ever believe any private VPN services with your data, especially when your are planning to do something nefarious. Not even *Nord VPN*.

Not possible in RU-vid

The video is for getting people sign to his course. That's where he can be compensated and rewarded accordingly for hardwork.

As far as I remember no it's not completely free aws only gives u 730 hours roughly around a month of free usage then u have to start paying to use it

@@firinggamers3217 AWS gives you 750 hours of free tier service every month for a year. So you can't say it's not free. The services that are eligible with the free tier account are completely free

When a product it's free, you are the product :) remember this.

WireGuard has a number of downsides and vulnurabilities

@@SigmaDevDigital windscribe gives 10g a month free and is by far one of the most secure

That's why tor + https is just better

@shellwhale Tor is just too freaking slow.

Even if you are using a VPN server on AWS, you are still using your provider, otherwise you cannot reach the AWS cloud. Also, AWS does not operate that way, their business model has nothing to do with what users are doing with their resources. That's why most enterprises are using the cloud like AWS.

Jason yeah but his provider cant sell any data from him other than that his traffic goes to an amazon address only, when using the vpn server on aws.

@@RocketLR Exactly. My provider know that i go to AWS and AWS knows all my trafic. I dont see this as a win

You need to go on the top right to select your region, there should be a drop down when you click where you see usually us-east-1 if you never changed it after login. However I don’t think AWS got datacenters in Puerto Rico at this time unfortunately...

You’re limited to the location of the data centers (Availability Zones) which are listed by region.

AWS doesn't have any datacenters in Puerto Rico so you can't be seen as if you were in Puerto Rico.

If you set everything in AWS along the principles of zerotrust you can be pretty certain even amazon wouldn’t be able to see inside or spy on ur vms & traffic.

Host it yourself ;)

If you’re doing something illegal enough to worry about logs on AWS, you probably shouldn’t be going through a service you just put your credit card info into.
