Meta-topic: List of all VPN guides

Community Guides

This is a community guide that serves as an entry point to find the VPN guide you need, depending on the protocol, vendor or need.

Note: If you are not an advanced user, it is better to avoid minimal templates and solutions involving salt.

That’s a good idea!

I would like to make some changes but I want to discuss them before:

  1. Provide a warning for beginners:

    If you are not an advanced user, it is better to avoid minimal templates and solutions involving salt.

  2. Those kind of guides should go in a 3rd section “Advanced users guides”
  3. Original title links should be kept to provide a better accessibility and to help user understand the list
  4. I think that each vendor should have it’s own subsection, allowing us to provide more details, like this:

Somewhat off-topic, but how can we make changes via email, and how can we
see changes to the guides. I think that neither of these is possible,
but hope to be proved wrong.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

From an extensive search of Discourses features by email, I didn’t find anything about receiving an email upon message modification, or modifying a message by email.

What is the point of listing outdated guides that will not work on any supported qubes version? e.g. GitHub - unman/openvpn: Package to create Qubes sys-vpn i mean it could be good as a salt example for setting a vpn but its not gonna work without heavy modifications, at least a warning should be there next to the link?

Not really a solution but if you have the original topic URL, put .json at the end. I.e.:

https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/meta-topic-list-of-all-vpn-guides/38466.json

Then you can get the post ID, here post_stream →posts →id = 174691.

Use the following URL with the correct ID:

https://forum.qubes-os.org/posts/174691/

… and you will get another JSON output, with the latest version as a raw text you can edit and post. And wait for someone to update the wiki with your version.

Why is it outdated? Because it uses debian-12?

I think this is not the right thing to do, and I think it inappropriate
to link to a repository that explicitly refers to old versions of
Qubes and has not been touched in years.
I have no interest in supporting openvpn, and will delete that
repository. Please remove the link.

Absolutely, if it’s outdated, it should not be in the list.

I was pretty sure it was working and maintained, I even was about to send a PR to update the templates used to debian 13 (GitHub - rapenne-s/openvpn at debian13). If unman is going to drop it, let’s delete it from the list.

I invite you to edit the first message to add it to the list :slight_smile:

You should have the permissions (it’s the default), and I receive a message with the changes before/after to review automatically
