Meta-topic: List of all VPN guides

[solene]

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.

By protocol

• Wireguard VPN setup (4.2 and 4.3)
  Wireguard, using graphical interface and network manager
• DRAFT OpenVPN VPN setup (4.3)
  OpenVPN setup using command-line and network-manager

By vendor

Mullvad VPN

• WireGuard on Qubes OS (official guide)
  Outdated but official guide to set up Mullvad VPN with wireguard, using command-line
• Mullvad VPN App 4.3 (and 4.2) setup guide
  Set up the Mullvad app with a graphical interface
• Mullvad VPN setup guide
  Like the previous guide, this one sets up the Mullvad app, the difference is that it uses systemd instead of rc.local

IVPN

• IVPN App 4.2 setup guide
  Install the IVPN app using a graphical interface

ProtonVPN

• ProtonVPN App 4.2 setup guide
  Install the ProtonVPN app using a graphical interface

Advanced users

• sys-wireguard from ben-grande’s qusal
  Wireguard using salt
• unman/openvpn
  OpenVPN using salt (outdated)
• sys-mullvad from unman’s shaker
  Mullvad app with salt

Maybe this should be pinned in the Community Guides category

@Atrate

Maybe this should be pinned

Done.

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:

• Mullvad VPN App 4.3 (and 4.2) setup guide
  This guide uses GUI to set up Mullvad app
• Mullvad VPN setup guide
  Like the previous, this guide uses GUI to set up Mullvad app, the difference is that it uses systems instead of rc.local
• shaker/mullvad at main · unman/shaker · GitHub
  This is a salt solution.

Good ideas, you can make the changes if you want

[unman]

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.
