Understanding and setting up OpenVPN - secure in the network

Web design, CMS & development, Office · 45 Videos · 4.1 h Video training · German René Fürst by René Fürst

When you go online, you put yourself in the public eye. In theory, anyone can see where you are going and what you are carrying with you. If you want to protect your personal or professional data traces from this visibility and security vulnerability, then build yourself a VPN, a virtual private network, and move around the digital world through tunnels you have created yourself and which cannot be seen by others. After this course by René Fürst, you will understand the VPN concept and be able to create your own network using the free OpenVPN software. In over 4 hours with 45 video lessons, your trainer will show you the way from the initial question of what VPN actually is to the complete setup of your server. You will also receive a 100+ page illustrated manual and a comprehensive overview presentation. Understand the principle of encryption and use its advantages - for yourself, for your privacy, for access to your company's network.

  • 45 lessons in over 4 hours of video training on how to set up a VPN using OpenVPN
  • Included: complete instructions as an e-book with 135 pages and a summarizing presentation
  • VPN basics: What is VPN? How does encryption work? What options are there?
  • Set up VPN: Install OpenVPN server, create certificates, configure network and client

Whether they are sensitive or simply private - arm your data traces against outside access and dig your personal digital tunnels into the internet with this number-secure training.
