Solution to VPN?
Posted: 24. Sep 2022, 07:43
It appears that there's no VPN that will work with Slackware.
You can use Firefox and install a browser VPN - and that's kind of ok.
But to get full use of a VPN for the whole system, I've loaded Salix OS into a Virtual Box and I have SurfShark VPN running on the host OS - which in my case is Zorin OS, because I need a strong production environment as I use it for my employment and need pretty much everything to work. Zorin is a very good OS (if you ignore that it's built on Ubuntu) if you're just using it for commercial purposes - which I am.
For my personal OS, I am using Salix in Virtual Box, which is better for privacy anyway. It's alwways better to use Virtual Box instead of running the OS on "bare metal".
So it all works out well. I have my production environment that I can use for work. I also have a private OS, wich piggybacks off the VPN runnin gon the host system.
I just have one last problem. I have another laptop which is running Salix OS on the SSD, not in Virtual Box. So somehow I'd like to get VPN running on that, one way or another. Or maybe I need to install Straight Debian (Sparky Linux is my favourite Debian distro), and then runSalix in Virtual Box.
Or maybe I should invest in a hardware VPN. I don't know much about those.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
