Question

Best VPN solution for multi user & API

Hello fellow developers,

I’m currently researching what solutions there is for providing VPN service, my project is only for friends of mine tho.

I’ve researched on Google which there is, and I am able to find some solutions, but none with some kind of API or GUI/control panel.

I’m looking for the API, as I wish to create VPN’s on the fly with my programming.

I’ve looked into OpenVPN aswell, but it doesn’t seem to be free, which I prefer as again it’s only for my private friends.

Cheers,

I second the suggestion of OpenVPN. Here is a script for installing/managing OpenVPN: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install

works great and could easily be scripted for automation.

How it’s going? I try to understand, are the free solutions can be secured and private?

Hi, i am using pritunl vpn server (based on OpenVPN). The GUI is very simple to use :) Website: https://pritunl.com/
