I’d really like to get started with this stuff but finding the technical requirement exhausting.
Trying to install privoxyvpn- “simply add the proxy to your browser and ensure the configuration is correct” (no help as to what this means, or how to do it and following the basic instructions just renders my browser unable to connect - googling the error message gives me replies like “simply make sure you read the logs” (no description of how to get to the logs or how to read them)
hearing I need a proxy and a reverse proxy, install SWAG — “first, point the A name at your server and the CNAME at the A and then install the SSL certificate - but be sure to pick between directories and subdomains if you have fewer than 20 domains in your account.”
Like what the fuck does any of this mean?
Then I hear if I have a proxy it might interfere with the reverse proxy and both might interfere with the VPN and vice versa.
How does one even get started?
If you want super easy then buy a GLInet portable router. Signup for a supported vpn and plug in the credentials in the portable router.
Install qbittorrent on your computer and then connect to the portable routers WiFi access point .
your whole connection should be tunneled through the vpn and you can download what you want.
Make sure you check your ip before doing anything and set a kill switch option in the router config.
