n my previous articles we have seen how to build a home router being a VPN gateway based off FreeBSD or OpenBSD. In these cases, we used an external VPN provider to connect to, and route all of our encrypted traffic through it. However, while I received positive feeback, I also had legitimate questions about the trust given to the VPN provider. What if the VPN provider is not honest and is in fact logging despite stating the opposite? What if he is malicious and watch his clients traffic? The VPN provider could also be perfectly honest, but could be breached (OS vulnerability, OpenSSL/Heartbleed, Shellshock, etc...) by attackers then logging clients traffics. Or simply, may be we perfectly trust it, but we just want to be in control of the VPN server itself.
