Free VPN from Amazon
Under Habrakat, I will tell you how to get yourself a practically free VPN in the states with the help of a few simple steps:
1. Register at aws.amazon.com and get a free piece of computer time for a year. Valid card required;
2. Launch the US-East Micro Instance available in the region with Ubuntu 10.4 and a 10 gigabyte partition that fits in the free package. The instance has the ami-c2a255ab number and is located through the AMI's Community search for Ubuntu 10.4 ;
3. Log in to the machine under ubuntu using SSH, for example via PuTTY , without first forgetting to convert the key to the ppk format via PuTTYgen ;
')
4. Install and configure OpenVpn using this article. The author forgot to say that before starting work you need to run sudo su ;
5. Install and configure synchronization with DynDNS , so as not to watch every time ip, which changes after each instance stop;
6. Configure the OpenVPN client , in my case, the environment was Windows 7.
To do this, copy the files from the server:
• ca.crt
• client1.crt
• client1.key
These are text files and their contents with aws can be pulled out with copy-paste.
They need to be folded in C: \ Program Files \ OpenVPN \ config .
In addition, you need to create a client1.conf file in which to write something like the following:
client
dev tun
remote ec2-XX-XXX-XX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com 1194
proto udp
nobind
pull
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist tun
ca "C: \\ Program Files \\ OpenVPN \\ config \\ ca.crt"
cert "C: \\ Program Files \\ OpenVPN \\ config \\ client1.crt"
key "C: \\ Program Files \\ OpenVPN \\ config \\ client1.key"
7. Run OpenVPN and we are in Seattle!
PS: Amazon gives 15 gigabytes of traffic Up and Down per month for a year. Anything higher will cost 10 cents per gigabyte. Prices can be found here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ .
