Some hints to set up a ad free VPN on a nat vps.

elliotc

Here is a super simple guide to set up a ad free vpn that come with a adguard interface on a nat vpn. The reason why I write this is because I see some others suffering with pi-hole on a nat vps.

This guide should be unreadable since I am bad in all Language. I just hope my experience worth 2 cents.

What is AdguardHome?

AdguardHome is a alternative of pi hole. If you dont know what is pi-hole, google it.

What is OpenVPN?

Openvpn is a VPN

---

My server: 256MB from @mrvm

1. install AdguardHome, too simple,skip. Hints : I use [ipv6]:3000 to complete the install process
2. Encryption settings for AdguadHome. Hints : you can get a let's encrypt cert very easy with acme.sh

3. config Adguardhome's Adguardhome.yaml (127.0.0.1 -> your internal IP address), Like that

   dns:
   bind_host: your internal IP address

4. set up proxy from mrvm clients panel. (That domain forwarding bottom),this action give you a Adguard Home control panel

5. install openvpn or any other vpns then point the dns to your internal IP

my suggestion is bash a script

Now, you get a ad-free VPN and a DNS over https.

Is it too short?

You can replace openvpn with wireguard. Faster and efficient.

It is openvz . I know I can use wireguard-go but OpenVPN is not bad either.

I just set this up on 128 mb NAT vps. Totally worth the $2 per annum I've paid for the service. Thanks for the tutorial

FWIW, Wireguard is actually quite a bit faster on slow CPUs than OpenVZ. Haven't done audits of it, but several places are embracing WireGuard, including writing their own implementation.

... than OpenVPN, I assume?

Wireguard howto. It works! I have had it running on several NAT vps for over 12 months now.

I actually using wireguard now but not on a nat openvz box. Personal VPN don't eat many server resources so that I host it with my other little things.
Spend time researching how to install wireguard on openvz is too wasteful.
