    Thanks for the feedback!

    On my personal wish list: To be able to set the VPN app as the 'network' for an existing installed app. This way that app can only be reached via the VPN.

    @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.

            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

              This is my feedback, not asking for opinions

              Fine - live in your own world then.

                  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.

                      It also does Wireguard AND OpenVPN simultaneously, which is hella convenient 🙂
