All of the below instructions assume that you’ve already  downloaded Gpg4win and set up a public/private key pair . If you haven’t, now is a good time to do that! How to encrypt plain text This is the most basic thing you can do with Gpg4win, but it gives you a great idea of how the program works.

Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to hide your online  data  transmissions and enhance your  security  while browsing the Internet from public places. Many online service providers offer both free and paid VPN options for you to use. However, even the best paid plans can be unreliable or slow at times. If only you could create your own VPN between your mobile computer and your home computer. ctually, that process is easier than you might think. Today we’ll discuss how you can use OpenVPN to create a secure connection between a client and  server  on a Linux machine. Keep in mind that we’ll be creating a routing configuration and not a  bridging one , which should be fine for most use  cases . Windows users can follow along by reading the  OpenVPN documentation , beginning with the section on setting up a Certificate Authority. Commands used in Windows will be similar to those shown below. What You Need You will need two computers – one is the server machine while th
