Can I host my own vpnazure server?

Post by sikawa » Sun Jan 01, 2023 2:32 pm

I have to use vpnazure to access my resources in another location and due to the topology of the provider I am unable to expose my router to public (Double nat or something like that is going on. My modem wan IP look like private IP)

Problem is speed is too slow, it doesnt make sense to use softether compared to teamviewer-like programs.
But I would like to use softether and based on my search it seems that the slowness is caused due to vpnazure server being in japan and I am in europe.
I understand with a free service and long distance this may be the case.

My question is, can I host my own "vpnazure" in a cloud environment so that I can use it as my personel vpn bridge?

Good question
I would like to ask too.
How can we setup our own vpn-azure?
Is it just some ip route + iptables traffic redirection or more ?

Good news.
Seems there is a discussion of open sourcing VPN Azure project

For whom does not want to go to the trouble of configuring iptables, CC (cascades connection) is the best as @solo mentioned.

In its core functionality the azue is based on Port Forwarding and the server works as a relay between clients and hop-2 (or an end-point)

Code: Select all

[ clients ] =====> [ relay (port forwarding) ] =====> [ end-point ]
Simple relay server
Since no local process is needed on the relay, we can configure these two tables
- nat
-- > PREROUTEING in order to change destination IP in ip-header (replace the relay IP with end-point IP)
--> POSTROUTING in order to change source IP in ip-header (replace the client source IP with relay IP so end-point can send us back the traffic)
- filter
---> ALLOW FORWARD traffic
