VpnHood! SERVER documentation

Run your own VPN server, in one of two ways. A managed server is run from VpnHood! MANAGER, the free web panel, which installs it and issues its access keys. A standalone server runs on its own, from its own settings file.

Getting started

• Install VpnHood! SERVER

  Install VpnHood! SERVER on Linux from VpnHood! MANAGER, or as a standalone server with one command, then create the access keys your devices connect with.

• Run VpnHood! SERVER in Docker

  Run VpnHood! SERVER as a Docker container on Linux with one command, managed from VpnHood! MANAGER or standalone. The container keeps the server up to date.

• Keep your server's IP address from being blocked

  Server IP blocked within hours? Give VpnHood! SERVER a separate IP for its outgoing traffic, a domain name or a reverse proxy, and see which one you need.

Reference

• Set your server's IP addresses

  Choose the IP address VpnHood! SERVER listens on and the one it puts in access keys, on a managed server in VpnHood! MANAGER or on a standalone one.

• Connect through a domain name

  Give VpnHood! SERVER a domain name with a trusted certificate, on a managed server or a standalone one, so its keys find the server through DNS.
