Self-hosted VPN server made EASY!

In general yes Pangolin could do something like that. But I don't think this will work without fiddling with Cloudron internals. Its probably best if this would be a feature of the Cloudron native vpn app.

@girish Can you run multiple instances of the VPN App (or any app) on the same Cloudron server that has a paid subscription?

Hello @joe.d and welcome to the Cloudron forum

Yes, you can install any app as many times as you want, including the VPN app.

@james some require specific ports, so limits to the exhaustable port ranges.

@james Thanks for the info

I am using self-hosted Netbird (deployed on a VPS)
It works great !!
"unifies" devices across different networks and locations
Personally I find it easier than Cloudron VPN, but maybe I should review the Cloudron offering again

In what world is Netbird easier to set up than the Cloudron VPN?

That comment seems bizarre to me. Makes me wanna say:

Kindly don't hijack my thread here for "ads" (I know it's not but seems like it) and/or dev circle jerks.

Feel free to open your own thread on the matter.

@svtx I didn't say "easier to setup"
easier to use - extra features

I am not hijacking your thread - I am contributing my experience that cloudron vpn may be good but necessarily great.

I am not advertising anything !! There is no alternative

Fine - live in your own world then.

I tried but some people can't read the room

Just to confirm, I can use the VPN app on a fresh VPS/CR hosted somewhere and use it to connect from my devices (iphone/windows desktops) and this works as a replacement to a paid VPN service like from Proton VPN?What's the smallest VPS would you recommend to run the VPN app for 5-8 devices (mostly browsing)?

How is the VPN app better than the wireguard app that you can 1-click install with most hosting providers?

It's probably functionally the same. I guess the Cloudron app has a UI. Wireguard by itself does not have a UI.
