CreateYourVPN Academy

A VPN gives you your own protected entry point to the internet. CreateYourVPN builds that entry point on a server you rent yourself: first for you alone, then for the people close to you, and, if you ever feel like it, as a paid service under your own brand.

The Academy is everything we know about that, written down in order. Nothing here assumes you have run a server before: where a step needs a terminal, we give you the exact line to paste. If this is your first visit, the three cards below are the shortest path from nothing to a working VPN. The rest of the page is a map you can come back to.

Start here

Three pages, in this order. About half an hour in total, and you will know what the panel does, why it exists next to the free alternatives, and how to get your first server running.

Your first server

Renting a VPS takes about five minutes and costs from a couple of euros a month. The panel does the rest: it installs and secures the server, then gives you a subscription link to paste into an app. These pages cover the whole path, from the provider's order form to the first connected device, including routers, which hand the VPN to your entire home at once.

When other people use it

Sooner or later somebody else asks for access: family, friends, or customers who pay. Then it starts to matter which server a person lands on, what happens when one of them goes down, and where the money arrives. In the panel that is users, a storefront under your brand, plans and payments.

The full course

Seventeen lessons in order, from the four words that describe everything to billing and AI assistants. Read it end to end once and the panel stops surprising you.

Reference

Pages you come back to rather than read once: backups, emergency access for networks that block everything, and the API.
